well.Guess what?I went back to the ER I stayed this time .Was admitted Sat nite.In my previous post,I had said that I went to er and came home .I took 4 vicodin and felt better only for awhile.  When it started wearing off I was right back to feeling sick.So to make a long story short ,I have not had any vics since Sat.nite.;) That makes 4 days and still hanging in there.They put me on cymbalta.Boy I feel like im on speed or something .first 2 days i was on all kinds of drugs sedated and muscle relaxers it helped alot.I know this is just a start I still wanted to take some when i got home .But i got rid of what i had so that helped but my pattern of taking the vics was 2 in morning get my stuff done and pop them all day long the rest of the day so the habit of grabbing for them is hard as well .Because as soon as I came home from the sore around noon the first thing on my mind is wheres my pills .I have a ways to go  but I think I can do this.I have to have surgery in mayand im scared  because i will be on pain meds again .I hope it dont start me up what do you think anyone? Im scared but ,....I WILL THINK OF IT AS I WILL DEAL WITH THAT WHEN IT COMES .BUT FOR RIGHT NOW STAY OFF THEM.

I went one time, I was in full blown w/d's. The kinda that feel like there is a monster inside of you twisting your back, stomach arms and leg muscles. They had a four hour wait to be seen. I just came home and rode it out. It was terrible.

My daughter went to the ER and ended up admitted for a few days because she was so ill and irrational from withdrawal that she was at risk for harming herslf. They gave her Haldol to calm her.  She got a full physical exam, was treated for dehydration and potassium deficiency, seen by the psych guy and released on zoloft.  If you are in such pain that you can't think straight, then get someone to take you to the doc.

I had a 8-10 vic a day habit..I'd run out, no hope of refills, and was having withdrawals.  I walked into the ER and said "help, please"  "I'm not here for pills, I just want help"...they gave me a script for clonidine (a blood pressure med) which helped a lot in many ways..my first pill helped tremendously with the symptoms, BUT, made me very sleepy and sluggish and dry mouthed...but after about 4-5 days I woke up one day and said "I feel great today"...even my coworkers noticed a difference..

You need a script for them and TAKE THEM AS DIRECTED.

body hurting all over is part of it......if you have enough vic's to ween yourself.....that's a good way to go.......if you don't have anything else at home to take to help with your pain.....sometimes a hot bath will help a little.........god, I wish I could do more to help.....I myself couldn't do it alone......I had to go get help with my withdrawls.......the w/d's were too much for me to bear......are you alone or do you have someone there that can help you with getting other meds or taking you to the doc?

cindi,
how much and what are you coming off of ? You can have seizures coming off opiates but its very rare .Tramadol and benzos are a different story
