In reply to Opioids and anxiety...?, posted by Ame Sans Vie on January 27, 2003, at 4:14:08
Okay, I don't know how Canada works, but I'm assuming they did model their drug schedules roughly around ours because we were the first to have them.
While benzos like Klonopin may be controlled, they're a far cry from an opioid. And Marinol is not an exciting drug. If you think this, you are having a placebo effect. It is an isolation of the anti-nausea properties of THC, and is very similar to ondanestron in effect. There's nothing exotic aboutt that.
Your doctor will laugh at you. I'm just trying to bring you down to Earth. Good luck with your anxiety. But why isn't Klonopin working??
> Well, in the past I've been prescribed Hycodan (Canadian formulation), propoxyphene HCl, codeine, and hydromorphone. The Hycodan (at a dose of 15mg q8hr) worked especially well-- it both relieved the anxiety, yet didn't have me throwing up all day. I'm interested in trying buprenorphine, and it shouldn't be difficult to obtain it (or hydrocodone) seeing as my pdoc already has me on Klonopin, Valium, Ativan, Xanax, and just a few days ago called in prescriptions for BuSpar and Marinol (which works incredibly well, I might add... I'd rather not be taking it though, on the basis of drug testing for when I finally get out to look for a job. I have the feeling that most employers would frown upon finding THC in your system, even if it were backed up by a Rx). Another consideration is Stadol (butorphanol) nasal spray-- anyone have any experience at all with this stuff? I've used it recreationally years ago, but that was before my disorder(s?) hit full force. TIA!
