opiate withdrawal relief

[toliver]

what can i do to ease the PAIN and overall creepy crawling feeling of opiate withdrawals? i am going to attempt to go cold turkey. i have been taking just about any kind of opiate i can get my hands on. my 1st choice: oxycodone, oxycontin, hydrocodone; 2nd choice: morphine. have been regularly taking 140-180 mg. of opiates a day. what can i do for the withdrawls? i am a 48 YO woman and have high blood pressure and have panic attacks if i don't get the opiates into my system on a regular basis. i still have to work; can't take time off work but still need to be able to function.

I was able to get off of a 7 year dependency/addiction of roxy's with no physical withdrawals. My Dr put me on a liquid cocktail, consisting of methadone, phenobarbital and clonidine. Each bottle contained one weeks worth and he would lower it by 10% every week. I did not get sick once. It's been over 2 years now and I occasionally still think about them... both emotionally and because I live in pain due to breaking my back and a massively failed surgery. But... after getting off of them, my pain was reduced by 50%. Worth checking into, as I've done c/t a few times, but this was a breeze. Just remember you will have PAWS and that can be difficult, but each day gets better.

Every one says to taper down and get off of it? If your an addict like mysel, how do you stop yourself from taking all you can.

I have been addicted to almost every pain medication there is over the past 10 years I would say,the withdrawals are always terrible!about four years ago my adoptive mother passed away and a month later my daughter was born.from the point I found out I was with child up until almost a year ago I was sober and happy.my fiance lost his job and we were left with no choice but to move into my birth mothers house,she began bribing me with her tramadol to clean the house or pretty much do whatever she wanted.my life has been hell ever since the moment we moved here,I don't have the money to leave,I have told her several times to please stop giving them to me,to please stop bribing me.everytime she gets angey at me for anything she cuts me off and I'm forced to withdrawal hard.my daughter is my life and I manage to force a smile even when I'm suffering.not to mention I've never had a babysitter because of the awful things that happened to me as a child,I'm afraid someone will hurt her.I just want it to stop,I was doing so well and I still want to,I feel powerless and even though I keep saying no she still leaves them lying there every single day.I just don't know what to do
