i started taking a whole host of medication after i'd had a heart valve replacement 3 years ago i don't no over what period but i'm just left taking a couple of heart tablets and dihydrocodine 60mg four times a day and oramorph liquid 5ml as required the thing is i've long since suspected that my need for these last two meds is not real so i've stopped taking them the day before yesterday and blimey i feel like i've got a serious case of flu aches pains the runs runny and blocked nose at the same time this so cannot be right but i really want to stop taking these meds they are pain killers not heart enhansing drugs and as such make you look forward to the next dose i really want to stop now that i have how long are these vile symtoms going to persist
Hang in there taytay. Living on pain pills is no way to live. I thought they were helping me, but now I can see it was exactly the opposite. You can't see it when you are taking them. You really don't need them as bad as you think you do.
Please keep waiting this out and see the other side. I'm here rooting for you.
Please try to hang in there you can make it. You quit oxys so you should be able to make through this.I will pray for you.
Still have had no opiates. Things still suck. It is nothing compared to what it was. Doesn't mean much... oh wait yes it does... ugh it *****.... the price we pay.
Not good at typing right now. Will attempt later.
wd last about a week give or take afew days. The more you come off of the more it hurts and itll last longer. Ive started and stopped many times. Im on day 11 I cold turkeyed it. Not for everyone I know. I took suboxone and wouldnt again, never. I found toward the end it comes in short spurts. Youll feel fine on sec the next all hot and just not right. I went from 150mg one day down to 60mg the next then nothing. I used to be able to ween down better but the addict got the better of me this time. Its not fun we all know that. If you keep putting opiates in your body it wil just prolong the wds. Its gotta be none at all for you to get better. Rock on keep your head up and keep us updated.
By taking more norco you are only prolonging your agony. You stated that you have to wait 2 weeks before your prescription gets refilled, why don't you talk to your doctor and let him/her know what is going on, as he/she may give you help with your situation. If you want I can give you some natural alternetive pain relief methods but they really won't work until you detox unfortunatley. I know very well how pain can make you want to keep taking opiates but if you want to break free you have to just quit.
I had a problem with OC's a while ago. I started because of the excuse of constant migraines and a constant HORRIBLE pain I had in my leg. Then, I did some more. I started using recreationally, not for the pain. I did this for a year straight doing at least 40mg Oxy a day. I got sick of it, prayed for help and started withdrawals. I told myself I was going to get clean, feel the pain and let the doc. decide what I needed to do with the pain, not myself. It was HELL. It was worse than anything I could imagine. After no Oxy for over 2 months I went to the doc to treat the actual pain that I did have. I was prescribed Norco 10s 3x a day. I took them as directed for 4 months then messed up the past two months taking more as prescribed. I am taking about 30-40 mg of Hydro a day.
The pain is too bad. I have nueropathy, and I can't quit. I am going to have to endure two weeks without my pain medication though before my prescription gets refilled.
I did notice towards the end that the withdrawals seemed a little easier but I didn't know if it was in my head or not. I'm starting to sweat more as I talk.. I know its gonna get a lot worse very soon.. hopefully not as bad as it was.
Sure it is. You were really not through the initial withdrawal in the first place. It must be rough.
Do you want to stop or is the pain too bad? I know about pain, it is awful but there comes a time when you make a decision to take the pills or learn alternatives to the pain, right?
Let us know how you are doing.
After you withdrew the first time, did you feel better before you withdrew again?
