I have some experience trading commodities and currencies from like 10 years ago. I was thinking about getting back into it again but this time I just want to casually trade off my phone.
What's the best platform out there now? I talked to a few friends and they use Robinhood, but i haven't heard the best things about them.
Im almost off Subutex, taking my last little bit about 1mg a day, but I've been on it for 16 years. Wondering once I get off completely how long will it take to totally be out of my system and whats my mental state going to look like? Its been such a long time I'm worried my mind is going to be fried without it.
I went to the ER at the beginning of April for a intense sharp stabbing pain on the ribs under my left arm. I have a fairly high tolerance for pain, but this kicked my ass. I was floored and screaming in pain laying the the ER hallway.
I finally found some meds that help bring the pain lvl down so I can manage and deal it with but it's still there. Its at a constant 5-6 on the pain scale, with meds, without it shoots up to 8-9.
I've had a bunch of x-rays, CT, and blood work done, everything came back normal so the doctor's say. No MRI done yet.
I only have about 20-30% movement and use of my left arm. Anything more then that and I'm in intense pain. It often get numbe and tingling around my ribcage, both front and back. My chest gets tight and hard to breath.
This has been going on since April and has not gotten any better or worse. As long as I take it easy and dont use my left side too much and dont exert myself it doesn't get worse, but it's definitely not getting better.
If anyone has been through something similar or has any ideas what could be causing the pain please let me know. Any help at this point will be appreciated.
I just want to find out the issue so I can heal and get better. I want my normal life back.
I've been taking subs for the last 16 years, it was oxy and vicoden before that for about 12 years. For the most of it i was taking 8mg tabs twice a day. Cut down to once a day around 6-7 years ago and thats where I just kinda got stuck, life happens and I just kept the habbit every morning take my sub. I had finally got tired of it so about a year ago I started cutting back again. What worked best for me was to cut my dose in half, and for about the first week if I truly NEEDED more I would break off a tiny corner to get through the night. Thats worked pretty good for me, until I got to 1/2 an 8mg tab per day.
Thats when it started to get real heavy mentally, I supplemented any itchy feeling or anxiety with .5mg ativan or an edible at night to help sleep. During the day I just stayed busy at work best I could. And that worked pretty well, not saying it was easy, it was a big struggle every hour, every day. I was on 1/2 a tab for about the last 8 months or so, but i started tapering again like 6 weeks ago.
Im finally down to 1/8 of a 8mg tab. Trying to do it just once a day, today is my third day. Yesterday was extremely rough. Mostly mentally hard but the physical was a hourly push to get through. Took it one hour at a time.
On top of all that I've got a pretty bad injury to my left side that I've been trying to get fixed,( f-ing insurance and workmens comp like to drag their feet) but i was prescribed something for nerve pain and some muscle relaxers. So I've been taking those and that helps big time with the physical WD but not all.
My plan is to keep taking the 1/8 every day until I feel it plato and lvl off. A few days after that I'll cut that out, either completely or every other day. See how it goes and adjust if needed. My other scripts help to keep the creepy crawlies down and a couple hits off my cannabis cart helps so I can pass out at night. That way I get at least 5-6 solid hours of deep sleep before I get woke up and start tossing and turning.
Thats my plan and idea, I'm worried about this last stage and then being off completely. How hard is the mental going to be and for how long? I worry about the long term effects because I've been on Subutex pretty much everyday at a fairly high dose for 16 years. How long is it going to take for that to fully be out of my system and my brain chemistry to go back to normal?
I'd you read this and it sounds familiar or you have your own experience getting off subs let me know, how did it go for you? Tips are never expected but always appreciated.
Goodluck to anyone else dealing with the same, just take it 1m,1h,1d at a time.
