Rehab is your only option .

Since you have identified the root cause of your problem, the cure is not far from you. STOP 🛑 abusing the drug for your own good. I understand that you are weighed down emotionally and psychologically, but we all are soldiers of the same struggle. We may not have the same degree of shock absorbers but you must not be overwhelmed by problems of life. If we go by the pains and truama we go through in this earthly hell called Nigeria, all of us would have been overdose of this drug and perhaps died from it.

You understand the situation perfectly. I'm determined to stop today, all I need is support. I just got back from the pharmacy. If this does not work by tomorrow or next, I'm going to general hospital for help. I will take all the shame and insults. I'm not angry at those insulting me here, it's because they don't understand what I went through, I actually lost my wife of 17yrs, my best friend, my other half leaving me with 3kids, I had two options then, either to run mad or go this way. At least I'm mentally stable now to fight this one, then I was almost running mad. I just didn't want to say all these in the post so as not to draw sympathy, I need the harsh truths to help me stop.

Let's look at this way. How does loosing your wife justify your actions? You even have 3 kids you should live your life for and u using your wife's death to justify your addiction. That is lame. If every man who lost his wife did what you did, then we will have several amputated men all over the world. There are 3 kids whose lives depend on u and u somewhere destroying your life. Is that how to be a good father? Should her parents and siblings get addicted because she died after all they knew her longer than u did. You better stop being a clown, get your ass up and go start being a responsible father

It started when I lost someone dear to me, I almost ran mad, they had to call a local nurse who administered an injection to me, the thing off me, when I woke up it started again, I was given another dose, it got me so high that I don't know anything again until I slept off again.

This is how I started requesting for it, I started taking it to get over the trauma, the lady noticed I was getting addicted she refused giving me saying it's dangerous, I had to call my pharmacist friend to get regular supplies, though he didn't stop warning me but I'm already addicted taking it every 4hours, trying to stop when I started seeing the damages but I couldn't.

The fatigue that will follow is unbearable, I will end up taking it to feel okay again. I attached a picture of my hands with the damage.

I need help, I want out so that I can live my normal life but I don't know how, has anyone been there before? How did you get over it? I don't want to die from this. Please help me

Broooo you are dying slowly.

This alone should motivate you to stop this shit.

You may jere and mock. Some may also chuckle at the solution, but it's quite simple and direct to the point, and that is JESUS!
Surrender your heart to God first, he alone can work on the very remote cause of your addiction. which in itself is due to your long years of development in sin.

Some people will start looking for this drug to take or sell.

I pray u get over it.

Addiction is bad

What a coincidence. A woman who constantly buy atleast 10 pentazocine injection everyday just walked into our shop as i opened this thread.

I intentionally took the picture while taking it so that people can know it's the true cause of the injuries

It's actually the injection I'm taking not the drugs, it's the part on my arms that I'm injecting it that turns to wounds, it starts healing when I stop taking it there but I kept going back there when I can't find any veins to inject it. I'm stopping today. I hid it by from everyone but I had to start exposing myself as the first step to get help. I have informed my friend to take me to hospital if I'm not able to manage the withdrawal symptoms

There are drugs you should take for pentazocine. Meet a reputable Pharmacy outlet and complain to the Pharmacist, he or she will find the drug for you. Some taking advice from random persons. I'm Pharmacist, but it unethical to mention such drug in public platform like this.

You are trying to kill yourself for someone that is already dead , better look straight into the mirror and advice yourself.

eni awi fun, oba jeki o gbo. Continue the addict till they chop/cut off that thing .U'll come back to ur sense then

Bros you're in a very difficult and serious situation, I feel your pains and the agonies you're passing through, but outright withdrawal of this injection may not help you at this period, so I will advise that you should start reducing the dosage of the injection till your body system get back to normal. I was once addicted sleeping drug, using 4 tablets at a time, what actually helped was the gradual withdrawal of taking the drug by reducing the dosage until my body system got back to normal. I wish you luck.

Quack nurse caused this . No relationship between pentazocine and the trauma you had .
She just messed up.
Try and get to a tertiary hospital around you for detox

Gangrene is not far from you... Not to mention fatal Blood sepsis!

Pentazocine is not the only thing causing that deterioration of your soft tissues and skin!

You are clearly abusing other things too!

If you were abroad, I would have recommended a couple of rehab centers where they will wean you off this lethal habit.

I doubt Naija has such places, and if they do, how well equipped are they to handle your extreme case?!!

Sigh... Wahala for strong drug addicts in Nigeria!

pentazocin is one of dangerous drugs of addiction (DDA), you got it all wrong to have required the services of auxiliary nurse or quack as the case may be,no registered or qualified nurse would give you pentazocin in such a way, looking at the picture alone shows that you've not been injecting it the right way, this drug is strictly given either intramuscularly or intravenously, now that you've gotten to this stage of drug dependence, I suggest you visit a tertiary health institution ASAP, to seek expert review especially a psychiatrist.

You see this drug?
Pray you don't use it ever, Pentazocine is extremely addictive, the high feeling it gives is something else n it's ability to calm one down n induce sleep is on another level. Trying to discontinue it results in one becoming very weak, losing zeal to do virtually anything, pespirating badly. All this symptoms abate when you get a shot of it. It's a very crazy addiction that i'm hooked on too, one knows the resultant consequences buh getting off it is very very difficult. My doctor friend told me of a senior registra in a Federal government hospital that was hooked on this drug too, introduced to it by his wife, sad thing is this senior medical doctor, almost a consultant died courtesy this same drug.

I've also had a very good friend's younger brother pass away, it is believed he died after injecting this drug instantly, his arm was totally swollen n rotten from the shoulder down to the fingers n had to be wrapped in bandage 24/7.
Please this is a huge cry n plea for help, medical professionals help us, prior to him coming through, believe me he's tried with all his will power n yet it's failed him. I was told o check into rehab in a federal university hospital n d cost of staying for the 3months or least 2months is very high n crazy.

I remember the day I was in physical pain and was rushed to the hospital, my doctor administratered it to me. It was so good, I swore never to go near it again. It calmed my nerves and for lack of a better word I would say it shifted my reality, I lost control of my body, my wife and brother had to hold me on both sides to take me home. When I slept , it was arguably the best sleep I ever had, immediately I woke up I made the decision that I will never to go near it on my own. Anything that can make you feel the way pentazocine can make you feel will eventually become and addiction.
I pray for the OP that God will see you through.

Addiction kills, try and withdraw, everyone has an Addiction thou, but it can be solved sometimes

I just did some research, OP is not alone..

Pentazocine abuse, as well as local tissue complication(s), is documented in the literature. Iheanacho et al.[12] in Benin city reported three sickle cell disease patients who developed lymphedema from prolonged self-injection with pentazocine. In his study, one of the three patients is a student in a school of health technology. Male: female ratio was 2:1. In another study, Colin et al.[4] in Virginia USA reported a case of necrotizing fasciitis and florid osteomyelitis in a Nigerian female following pentazocine injection into her distal upper extremities, for which the patient had an above wrist amputation. They noted that it was the second case of pentazocine abuse from Nigeria within 6 months of their study.

From our study, all the patients are young between the ages of 20 and 39 years. The male: female ratio is 1:4 (2: see [Figure 6]. The sex distribution is probably because the woman would want someone, or in this case, something to comfort them in a turbulent emotional period such as pain. Four of ten (40%) of them are health professionals (nurses to be precise). Most (60%) are of SS genotype, see [Table 1]; vaso-occlusive pain being the most common precipitating factor. This is in tandem with the study by Iheanacho et al.[12] and Olatunji et al.[13], whose patients are all sickle cell disease patients. The lower limbs were the commonest site of injections (70%) as against 60% on the upper limbs (forearm and hands being most common probably from ease of access); some injected into both upper and lower limbs. Two of them first got the drugs during pre-term labour with some relaxing effects.
Figure 6 Sex distribution.

Table 1 Genotype distribution

Abuse was sustained by retaining the original prescription, buying from the open market, new prescriptions from doctor-friends and/or over-the-counter as they were known to the dispensers. Withdrawal symptoms include pain (10%), anorexia, insomnia, restlessness.

Fifty percent of the patients presented with lymphedema with associated ulcers (5 of 10 patients) which were equally distributed between the lower limbs and upper limbs. One had necrotizing fasciitis of the legs see [Figure 7]. One (10%) had a pre-existing ulcer from road traffic accident, prior to injection abuse. They all expressed their desire to quit self-injection once pain ceases. One patient actually stopped the injections when the emotional trauma that started the abuse ceased. They were all co-managed with the mental health unit.
Figure 7 Complications.

They were all managed conservatively with serial surgical and chemical debridement, elevation of the affected limbs and graduated compression bandaging. Two of our patients had upper limb amputation and one died.


Conclusion
Top


Pentazocine abuse is common amongst health professionals and SS genotype patients. It can lead to lymphedema and ulcers when injected into the tissues. Therefore, it is recommended that there should be proper legislation to restrict access or availability of pentazocine over the counter. In addition, there is a need to periodically evaluate health workers with regards to parenteral opioid abuse in order to ensure safety of patients left under their care. It is recommended that alternatives to pentazocine be used as pain relief in sickle cell anemia patients, and that stricter measures be put in place to ensure regulation of purchase outside the hospital facility.



OP you can see that if you continue death or amputation is the next thing . I would advise you switch over to marijuana the drug that heals.. its 100 times better than this path you are on. Are you an SS genotype

family6644:
, it starts healing when I stop taking it there but I kept going back

so you deprived yourself the following
the chance to get a job or even be employable
the chance to do business
the chance to sit next to nice people
the chance to meet cute babes
the chance to have two complete hands

just to get high with sorrow as an excuse.

disgusting

Omoooooooooooooo
That's all I can say
I pray U find the healing U desire
Addiction is a terrible thing
