Di-Gesic
WHAT IS DI-GESIC?
Di-Gesic is a painkiller which is prescribed for mild to moderate pain. It’s made out the all known paracetamol and another substance called dextropropoxyphene hydrochloride, much less heard about and quit a dangerous one. Dextropropoxyphene is banned in Europe, the US and Canada because of an overwhelming amount of cases of deadly overdoses and life threatening cardiovascular problems, especially heart arrhythmias.
HOW DO I FEEL ON DI-GESIC?
Paracetamol is actually acetaminophen which is a pain reliever, and dextropropoxyphene is in fact an opioid pain reliever as well. They both act by taking care of your pain, and bringing emotional and bodily well-being. You will feel relieved, calm and relaxed and blissful in a slight kind of “haze” or “high”, depending on the dose you get.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO DI-GESIC?
Yes, Di-Gesic has besides the common side effects two quite risky ones which determined health professionals to ban it from most of the world’s countries in Europe, The US and Canada. These two side effects are the risk for a deadly overdose or heart arrhythmias. Other side effects you might experience are confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting and sedation.
CAN I GET ADDICTED TO DI-GESIC?
Di-Gesic is very addictive. Both dextropropoxyphene and paracetamol are pain relievers which makes the drug an easy abuse for people suffering from both body pains as well as emotional pains. Opiates are also quite addictive not only psychologically, but physically as well. If you use Di-Gesic for longer than prescribed, if you abuse it or use it recreationally than you are high at risk for developing tolerance and dependence to the drug.
HOW CAN I STOP TAKING DI-GESIC?
If you are addicted to Di-Gesic, you need to go through detoxification before starting any drug recovery program. You should contact a drug & alcohol rehab center or a hospital nearby so you can have a team of doctors watching over you while you detox. You need medical supervision because detoxification usually comes with painful withdrawal symptoms and risks to your health. By detoxing in a center or hospital, you will be much more comfortable and safe than going through it alone at home.
Next, you would benefit from getting yourself into a drug rehab program. There are plenty available, and they are divided between inpatient and outpatient ones. If you decide on an inpatient program that will require you to move from home at the rehab center, for a few weeks while you go through recovery. If, however, you decide on an outpatient program you can continue to live at home while you get in for regular treatment sessions at the rehab center.
