No not a relaps But I am a alkie in recovery and so I do know W/D all to well.  and as far as my pain, well I have been dealing with cronic pain for 12 yrs and OTC drugs dont touch the pain. surgery is an option and at the same time, so is never walking again :/

was this a relapse?  or a first time thing?  most who r narcotics for a month at 10-15 mgs would have no wds to speak of?  reason I am asking cos most people would not be worried enuf to post on a forum if they had not experienced wd before

I would stop taking them ASAP.  There are other ways to handle the pain you have without taking pain meds.  All the best          sara

of course your pain will be worse, but I think as a whole we have gotten to use to being out of pain, pain is a part of life, we all have some sort of pain to deal with, thats what OTC stuff is for, and no one says in the future when stronger pain meds are needed you can not use if prescribed, just dont get use to them, you cant miss what you dont know, so if you get use to dealing with pain with OTC meds then thats what your body will know and thats what your body will respond to. Good luck, and STOP now while you are AHEAD or you be on here like the rest of us asking "HOW LONG DOES THIS H@LL LAST" verses "WILL I HAVE W/DS"...Good luck , LEE

you wont feel good but you wont be sick either, youre cutting it really close.  Much longer and you'll have full blown withdrawals.

very little if any.  Stop now before you DO have withdraws.
