Yep. Was glad to do the survey. Felt like somebody was listening for the first time in this experience.

Thank you for posting. It felt good to participate. It was really hard to list all my symptoms. I thought I would run out of room. Cheers to all who participated!

[[lo...]]

Thank you for taking part and I am glad it was helpful to you both.

I'd love to fill this in, but my drugs were not prescribed. The Opioid was Codeine in OTC preparations (I do believe we need far better regulations on access to Codeine containing products though, the current warnings never prevented me having repeat access to it by trawling round pharmacies), and the benzos were research chemical analogues.

Hey there Dapple... Been ages..!! Hope you are doing ok...

This survey is a bit different to the last...

Its more about thoughts and opinions on support services, into the future...

Fiona or someone could put it much better...

 

But It is a great survey, -well worth the look...

I cant see why you couldnt participate as it caters for past use and other meds, with room for ones own words...

-Its simple, yet effective..

 

My Best to you...!!

I am sorry the survey doesn't fit your situation, Dapple.  It does specifically say "prescribed" drug dependence so I guess OTC medications are not included.  You would have thought that if a helpline was to be set up it should cover those medications also. 

 

Your description is fine, Cant.  It is about the future but it does allow people to describe their withdrawal experiences also.

 

All the best.

That's wonderful!!! But of course we need all we can get.

I am pleased, Terry but it is a drop in the ocean compared to all the people in the online support groups.

Can I do this twice?

[Guest [Le...]]

Can I do this twice?

 

Why?

[[be...]]

Only joking, Leslie. I think you know me by now. :laugh:

[[Te...]]

Fiona, I'm hoping that a lot more people answered in the last day! I wonder what the count ended up to be.

[[lo...]]

Yes, you can fill it in more than once if you use different devices but don't tell anyone ... too late now anyway.

 

I didn't do it!!!  Honestly,  I didn't!!  :D :D

 

40 years on Nitrazepam, 3.5 years in bed is a bit of a give away!!  >

 

I will let you know the final tally when I get it.  :thumbsup:
