Pethidine addiction?

[stevie_23]

I LOVE Pethidine and even though I've only had it twice in my entire life (well, more than that, but only 2 incidents which caused me to have it several times per incident - hospital visits), I always think about it and just long for it whenever I have even a slight headache.

I even once tried to obtain it online but became scared of the mail service finding out and arresting me.

I've never self injected any other drugs, so why am I so willing to do it to myself with this!?

Is Pethidine incredibly addictive? Am I emotionally addicted to it somehow? I haven't even had any for 8 years!

Try it Stevie, it's great. After 2 1/2 years of using it under prescription I'm now sitting here cold and clammy at 4 am on my 2nd night free, feeling ****, shaking.
You wan't to get like me? Get a life and get a hobby. Do something worthwhile instead of ruining your life with Pethidine.

Rick is right Steve!!!!I took propoxyphene 26 years ago and loved it.So much so I lost the next 22 years to opiate addiction.Now I'm on methadone probably for the rest of my life.There are greater highs in life but without having to take something to feel it.Just take the experience as it was and move on.You don't want to get addicted believe me.Good luck....Dave

Stevie, maybe you have some sort of obsessive tendency and you are playing out a drama on this drug. Of course it is a powerful drug and very addictive, but unless you are abusing other drugs like alcohol etc, I would just look to talk to a counsellor for a couple of sessions and that should help you understand why this is happening. Now is your abusing alcohol (be honest with yourself,) then this is a whole different ball game.
