Throwing away whole 'scripts? Damn!!
And people talk alcohol abuse when someone pours out a beer. This is equivalent to pouring out several cases of Sam Adams and fifths of top shelf stuff. Dont you guys know the money you could get? Up to $5 a 'tab in some areas, figure a bottle of 30-90 pills.... Oxy is horrible. Someone with a script of say 40 60mg could own a used car by the end of the day if they started selling early enough in the morning.
Of course, I am kidding about all that.

My wife is currently going through this, but it's being managed by her doctor.
She was on 1600mcg of Actiq 4x a day + 75mg Fentanyl transdermal.
She's stepping down now and is taking a Klonipin patch + Clonazepam to help with withdrawal symptoms. She's currently down to 800mcg of Actiq 4x a day + 50mg Fentanyl transdermal.
When she forgets to change a patch she gets very uncomfortable. Her legs ache and she can't sit still. I can't imagine what it would be like if she let it go any longer.

I hope you insult your dad for taking his heart medication.
I mean, hey, "drugs are stupid and people who do them are even more stupid."
I'm going to assume that you never drink caffeinated beverages or alcohol and don't take tylenol or asprin.
Ass.:roll:
I also like how your avoided my response to your original statement, slick move buddy. :thumbsup:
I guess I'm REAL lucky.
I have taken them for semi long periods of time and then quit with NO with drawls whatsoever.
EDIT: But then I never took / take more than 1-2 a day. Just enough to take the edge off. I still feel some pain, but I can cope.
Oh, and for those who are on their soap box about how BAD all drugs are, we'll see how you feel after YOU start having unbearable pain all day every day. :roll:

I wouldnt say you haev a high tolerence for pain..maybe you do maybe you dont but getting your wisdom teeth out is a crap shoot. for example..
I got mine out. I layed on the couch for a week, couldnt swallow anything, could barely talk, and was taking so much pain meds that I puked a lot.
My friend got his out. Was riding his bike the morning after.
It can go real well...or real bad.

I was on 90mg of Oxycontin a day for 3 months or so. I stopped taking it by switching to increasingly smaller doses of Vicodin over a 4-day period, then cold turkey. I was told this was more to gradually increase pain tolerance and I suspect as much if not more to overcome the difficulties of withdrawl. I had a few sleepless nights and finally came to noticed that external fixators in both arms and a leg are not so much fun.
Bite the bullet and ride it out - it will pass and you'll feel a lot better without the fog (and the constipation...)

Thank you
That pretty much puts it into perspective. I know gettin the other 40mg wasn't a good idea.. but we all learn from our mistakes, either way its still a bad withdrawal. That benzo withdrawal is crazy.. so it definately seems like opiate is not the worst withdrawal EVER. A good friend of mine goes thru that withdrawal like every other month b/c he runs out of his script a few days before the next one gets filled.. keeps asking his doctor to up the dose, but the doc won't budge.. probably for the best anyway.
yea thats rough, thats a lot of fentanyl.. its good that she is able to ween off and not have a rediculous temptation to take more (like me)... well untilt this week
I tried this before, but not for withdrawal... it did produce a nice mild legal buzz though. I feel it has a cross-tolerance with opiates even though it is not an opiate at all. Strange.
Thanks everyone for the replies of suggestions/advice/and even the ones that don't know where I'm at and tell me drugs are bad.. (it really is good motivation).
Holy crap. Day 6 still blows? You're hurtin (sorry thats my now fav word for WDs). I'm hoping when I stop its only a few days that it is very bad. I cant afford to lose weight like that either (I'm trying to gain weight, and its slow going! would suck to lose it all in a matter of days)

cold turkey is not the way to go for a lot of meds. although you know that now.
lesson (hopefully) learned the hard way.
