When something is so soothing their is a thin line

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 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

Martinsmine:
I have a friend in which his brother was slammed on the hip wit the down of a ak 47 gun. He survived d hit but the pain that guy was passing was much. This was the same drug he was giving to for a longtime but it was stopped because he was adviced to stop. He listened because fly way no they hear they follow dead body enter grave. But your own has don much damage do well to stop it.

What did I just see and how can I unsee it?

Of course. It is the devil in the detail

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.

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.

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 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

Pentazocine actually causes nerve damage.

That thing is a very strong and dangerous analgesic.

I know someone who got his leg amputated because of Pentazocine addiction. But the person is a sickler.

Most people I know who get addicted to this drug are sicklers. They use it to relieve the pains from their crisis.

I am shocked that this OP isn't a stickler. I was thinking he was sickler before I opened the thread.

So, just the pain from a bereaved relative made them administer pentazocine to him. A very dangerous drug that is only given under very strict supervision. And not given more than two doses at once.

Madness.

I'm sorry for the OP sha. Because breaking pentazocine addiction is almost impossible.

That first quack nurse who administered that drug to him has ruined his life.

Sad.

ConfidentialDoc:
You're now physically dependent on opioid analgesics. And that arm may be amputated if you continue.

You don't know how to give intramuscular injection and you're just injecting it directly into your skin pentazocine is only via intravenous or intramuscular route. I don't even know what to say to you.

Self medication kills.

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