Blind Item: Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life Is But A Dream

January 17, 2019 by tamaratattles 60 Comments

Or just a drug supplier? Word on the streets say this soon to be married young woman doesn’t look like she has slept for days. The Tamara Tattles source, who lives in her neighborhood says she has vacant eyes and scraggly hair when off camera and often looks like she hasn’t slept or bathed in days. The source says she is super pale without makeup.

Fame seems to be taking its toll.

    Crap. I hate to hear this. Myself AND my son have both overcome opiate addiction and I just can’t stomach what it is doing to our society. Suboxin, in my opinion should be handed out like candy on Halloween. If you are diligent it works. The Dr. visit costs me $100 per week but I’m clean. Ish. I got addicted because of surgeries and just could not stop. They were giving Terry my drug of choice in insane amounts so I decided when he died, that was it. I hate this and I feel for her so much. I don’t even want to know who this is. Sorry T I need to stop oversharing. But this sucks.

      Love you, Nancy! Your comments are always absolutely honest, informative, interesting and often humorous. Thank you for being you. I don’t have a clue who this blind is about, but wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Such a struggle. I’ve seen addiction in my own family, particularly a grandson who also has mental health issues and is struggling (in jail at the moment), and another grandson who overcame it, is now clean and sober (ish – he occasionally smokes medical marijuana – legal in CA, but compared to heroin, that’s a big improvement in my mind). He’s been clean and sober for five years now, has a great job, a home, wonderful partner, and a beautiful new son. When I listen to him talk, I don’t know where anyone gets the strength to overcome it. I have nothing but mad respect for anyone who does.

          SLOW and steady. I took 1.5 years to come down from methadone maintenance— never slipped once, never used again. Doing it too quickly is setting yourself up for failure. If he can’t get incremental decreases, MAYBE it would help to switch to methadone and go the liquid route. I wish him luck and fortitude.

            WOW I would have never thought suboxone was so pervasive in this forum! I actually worked with a physician for several years who was one of around thirty addiction specialists to have initially tested suboxone decades ago, and eventually facilitated the release.

            He personally believes that a patient who is successful on suboxone shouldn’t attempt to get off, ever. But there’s a lot of dissenting opinions.

            For all the above questions/suggestions:
            1) suboxone should NEVER be ceased for methadone in replacement therapy. Methadone users are advised to transition to suboxone, not the opposite. Methadone is stronger, more dangerous, and much much harder to taper off. I’ve seen patients suffer post acute withdraw symptoms for years following cessation of methadone.

            2) For the commenter who has to go to the doctor weekly, if you have a successful track record of clean drug tests, etc. I would advise switching providers. It could be difficult to find depending on the area you live in – legally a doctor is allowed only a limited number of suboxone patients – but you should have a doctor who provides subscriptions based on 30 day intervals, especially if you’ve been on it for a long duration and demonstarted success. There’s no reason for you to be paying $100 a week unless your doctor is money hungry.

            3) For those of you attempting to get off, tapering is everything. Taper taper taper until
            you can go every other day without a dose. You can google the “Robert_325“ taper plan that has for the most part become a cult standard. Additionally, there’s a standard list of vitamins and amino acids (L Tyrosine, etc.) that are believed to help lessen PAW symptoms, which in my opinion is the number one source of relapse — after going through the horror of withdraws, you’re on a pink cloud for several weeks, until PAWs sits in and you question why you ever got off suboxone in the first place if this is what sobriety feels like. You have to fight through those first 2-3 months.

            I hope my unsolicited advice helps anyone out there!

      I had several surgeries last year, after the first one I took the painkillers they gave me, on the schedule they gave me, for about 5 days. It took me a further 5 nights of being completely unable to sleep to get off them. I had developed a physical addiction in just 5 days. And the whole time I knew that if I just took one, I would finally be able to sleep. I never filled the prescriptions for any of my subsequent surgeries. They shouldn’t be allowed to just hand them out so freely without more warning and education.

      Nancy, your story is important. I went through Suboxone therapy to get off all of the medications that the drs on base prescribed me for migraines. Had I not left those doctors, I’d still be taking tons of pain pills. They really do seem to make pain worse when prescribed wrongly and for long periods of time. However, I hate that now you have to practically beg like a junkie just to get normal pain relief. I crushed and almost totally cut my finger off in the fan of our very old leaf blower two summers ago and in the ER they were like “we don’t give narcotic shots unless the pain is unbearable”. Well, my finger was falling off!! That counts as unbearable pain. The whole pain situation is just a mess. Letting doctors treat patients as individuals and monitoring prescribing patterns should be enough. Blanket statements like the one used that day in the ER cause undue stress and suffering for all involved. I also believe having medicinal marijuana available in all states would be a great thing. I’ve used some of the topical treatments for the R.A. pain in my hands and they were the best things I’ve ever tried. I was afraid of getting “high”, lol, but there was no effect like that at all. I didn’t mean to write a novel, sorry! Just know that you’re not alone and that everyone’s story matters.

        Oh Amanda honey – I hear that too. I had weight loss surgery (gastric sleeve – 70% of my stomach cut out) with only Tylenol. As an addict, I get it, but I begged the nurses to kill me when I woke up. I was like the little girl in The Exorcist.

          Blondesense, you needed whatever they could give you for pain! My medical records show I used Suboxone for pain management to transition to a better treatment plan. There is no way I’m going to have surgery without post op pain relief. Doing so can cause all sorts of problems with healing. I mean you were in a medical setting being highly monitored. What could you have done? Ppl in so much pain they’re numb or want to die deserve to maintain they’re divinity whether they smoke crack or heroin. We’re all ppl and drs should do no harm. I got my shot of something that worked and I got the proper prescriptions for my shattered detached middle finger but honestly, if I was a medical professional who just met a young woman bleeding through towel after towel and holding her finger together into one finger, I’d give her the ALL of the good stuff in an IV. And the rest of the prescriptions helped the physical therapy and the weekly reset as cartilage formed to connect the bone shards together. I hope that you’re doing well now.

        In my early 20s I fell and herniated two discs in my back. Pain pills allowed me to move again to the point where I was able to heal myself. My Grandma, who is in her 80s and had her cancer return for a third time, has to take a pee test and feels likes she’s being treated like a criminal to get any sort of pain pills. It’s sad some people get addicted. But it’s not fair to make others suffer in pain because of it.

          JustJenn, that’s exactly what I was referring too. It’s disgusting and it doesn’t help anyone. My late husband’s oncology clinic had them doing random urinalysises and they could be called in for “random pill counts”. Terminally ill ppl deserve pain relief, the elderly deserve pain relief, everyone who’s in serious pain deserves treatment with dignity. I just wanted to get off what a questionable set of doctors prescribed me and we all know that an addict will get their drug of choice regardless. Making grandma’s, the terminally ill, and ppl with chopped off fingers jump through hoops because they need medical care isn’t the answer.

            I just feel like there’s no in between now with perscribing opiates. I’ve had several surgeries at age 37 and always received pain medicine. Usually just a few more than what was necessary. A few months ago I had a hysterectomy and several prolapse repair surgeries all at one and received NO pain meds at all after I left the hospital the next morning! Only a few Valium which were useless for the pain. I had to call the 24 hour nurse line and beg for some medicine for which I got a 3 day supply. With no history of addiction I find it extremely unfair for those who need it for short term conditions.

          I agree completely.
          I suffer from Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) , it’s nerve damage/ nerve misfires after having shingles (40th Bday, will never forget) basically the breakout happened the morning of my bday, but looking back I had (what I thought was the flu) for 10+days a week or so prior to shingles outbreak & during that time the area that now (constantly feels like it’s being hit with a blowtorch on high) was numb, I didn’t think much of it at the time & never thought shingles SO not getting the antiviral meds soon enough is most likely the reason I have PHN. It’s taken a lot of time and trying different meds (thank God my Dr is wonderful) but as of the last 8mths We’ve found a great medication combination ( I’m terribly scared of prescription meds period & tried everything before narcotics. i also take “low doses” compared to others w/ this, but it’s enough narcotics that I’m constantly worried bc of all the drug laws and government officials “making these guidelines & not taking into consideration that many people on pain management don’t fall in the category’s they are ordering the Drs to follow. My Dr and I speak regularly about how the government is not letting (good) Drs treat patients accordingly , but treating everyone as junkies. That’s scary too. Yes we as a country have a drug epidemic, BUT not everyone who takes pain meds IS a problem! I voluntarily stop by the Dr office for a med count and I offer to take a urine test.. Just so my Dr can show them he is treating the pain (with success) not just handing out meds!
          Sorry for the LONG rant, Its just such a scary time for patients who have legitimate pain & need pain management!

      My husband had an opiate addiction & hung himself. I work in a hospital & see such large opiates of pain killers being prescribed it’s unreal. To be honest my kids need their wisdom removed & I’m afraid to schedule it because of the need for post op painkillers & addiction on both sides. They need to stop the drug companies from giving Dr’s kickbacks when they prescribe their stuff. I’ve seen docs prescribe 120 for 4 days so they weren’t bothered over the weekend. Scary stuff.

        I’m so very sorry Maureen! I can’t even imagine how difficult it’s been for you. I’m in recovery for many years. If you feel comfortable you might explain your concerns to the doctor. Usually they don’t prescribe very much for wisdom teeth. It’s only enough for a day or two and many people are ok using over the counter drugs like Advil.
        I’ll always worry about my son (14) so I understand your concerns about your kids. The best thing we can do is keep a very open, honest dialogue with them so they feel comfortable coming to us without fear of judgement. I work really hard on that.

        I had my wisdom teeth pulled and requested Tylenol 3. I had a very bad experience with Vicodin in the past, which is what they wanted to prescribe to me and I said no. After the Tylenol 3 ran out, I just used over the counter Extra Strength Tylenol and it was all good. There’s a mild dull pain after the surgery but with some rest and OTC meds, it should be manageable without super pain killers and they should be back to their normal selves after a day or two. I’m so sorry to hear about your husband.

      Anyhoo, if it’s little LaLa, “Daddy” is doing a bad parenting job.
      And I don’t blame James for being upset that LaLa is selling her youth and future to some fat old producer with two kids, especially if she is doing drugs with “Daddy.” James is just way too crass in his approach. And I think he still loves LaLa.

      I agree with you. And it scares me that drug companies can control the pricing (remember the epi pens) after they get you dependent. HOWEVER, the physical addition is the smallest part of addiction. Having access to a legal substance can help break the other parts of addiction — the lifestyle, the highs and lows, the terror of not having your “meds,” etc. And you don’t experience the euphoria of opioids with suboxine so you can break that part too.

    In the past, Psychiatrists that I worked with would not prescribe Suboxone and it was not on the Formulary for Medi-Cal patients even though these MD’s treated dual diagnosis patients. These patients would often ask for it to be prescribed during my assessments. I would have to refer these patients to private MD’s who would prescribe and monitor as private pay clients. You would think that So. Orange County would be treating chemical dependency as needed but like everything else, this area prefers private pay clients for more extensive treatment. It’s a shame really because we have the highest rate of overdoses leading to death than anywhere in the state. This is happening because we are a distribution area for drug cartels coming in from Mexico.

      My pain doc says VA and other clinics are switching over to Suboxine. He says it is harder to quit than oxy and methadone. In the Bay Area, my Kaiser primary wanted me off everything — CHRONIC PAIN — the pain educators wanted us on pain meds WITH MONITORING. Kaiser did not have Subs because it is expensive. At the county clinic, they were all pushing Suboxine. I was fortunate that my pain doc in Sac tried out Ultram because it WORKS on me. He really does not want people on Suboxine.

    This post got really dark and descriptive for who had it worse……wish you all the best. I would not be surprise this is Lala. She seems like she would so just about anything to fit into the hollywood dream she has.

      It wasn’t a contest for who had it worse. Just trying to offer support & comfort in that their not alone. That was an asshole thing to say

    Has to be LaLa. Supposedly she showed up at Nastariana’s party the way she did because she was depressed. And she seems a lot different this season. Also, I think the boat clue refers to Randall’s boat.

    I really hope she’s okay. I struggle with extreme depression, and it’s truly frightening.

        Sorry; I’ve had some health issues so I just saw this. I read the rules several times. I honestly have no idea what rule I broke.
