Listen I'm beyond mad so bare with me!
My doctor puts me in these pain meds for months and now my doctor takes them away, I'm all for it don't get me wrong but he gives a addict a refill on Monday of 30 then calls today and says.... The X-ray of my tailbone looks good, weak myself off the narcotics and start taking 800 mg of ibuprofen 4x a day! WAIT WHAT???????? Ok so now I have 12 left and I'm suppose to wean myself???? How the hell am I supposed to do that??????? I'm no doctor! So here's the only plan I have..... 3 a day for 4 days? Idk what to do! Anyone wanna chime in on some kinda plan so I don't screq myself up anymore then I already am!????
I should have never called him! I should have stayed cold turkey like I was doing! Thank for the help doc....NOT!

One more thing... It's 8:15 and this girl only took 10 mg today! Might not seem like a lot for some but for this girl it's HUGE!!!! Besides the yuk stomach and the hot/cold thing going on I'm ok:) I got this!
I blame myself, I've never took a thing in 45 years and let me tell you I never will again cause it's not worth this! Hitting the outdoors this weekend providing tropical storm joanquin doesn't rain on my parade
You are going to be Fine!
Just know we have Receptors all over in our Brain and some Body parts. The receptors get blocked up and this is why a tolernce builds up too. So we need more & more in that way, besides being a Addict getting out of control. Anyway, as these receptors clean up you will have some Bathroom issues going on. I do not think you should have to much Mental, because you were not on them long enough to whack out your Brain Chemistry. Maybe you might be a bit emotional because your true emotions will be back..WHATEVER!! I just wish you the best and we are here.
PS. I do not blame the Dr at all now. That was just when I had c/t from 3 meds & one was methadone. I did not get the right help I needed either and this caused me to have a long, hard, serious detox! Sure they wanted me on Subs. Ha! They do have more knowledge and what meds they can give during detox.

Vic! God love you and your recovery!!!!! You have been through hell and back and live to tell!
It's 1:30, I only had one at 6am and a half at noon, besides my stomach doing some crazy *** stuff I'm ok so far, I'm going to take another half later and that will be all today. I'm very proud of myself!
One thing I must say about MY doctor is even if I took 1 pill 4x a day like he told me ( don't forget this man started me on 7.5/325 in January and I asked to be taken down to a lower dose ) I would STILL BE addicted to Vicodin, yep it was me who took more but it wouldn't have mattered either way 10 months later I would still be a addict.

You will be okay sweetheart. My fiancé is a nurse practitioner and does obviously prescribe pain medication but tries to warn every patient. He also tapers them off. Not all doctors are bad! But honestly I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm looking at changing docs cuz mine still tries to get me to take tramadol yet I'm addicted. It's not good. I am praying for you. I know you are angry but that's totally ok Hun. We go through many emotions and that is one of them. Hang on tight girlfriend! You've got this!
