I'm back from the doctor (thank you all for your help)

I just came back from my pain doc and let me say, I completely sold him short.  He was wonderful.  He did give me patches of catapress to wear for 7 - 14 days (depending on how I feel after 7), klonipin to help with the anxiety and sleeping, and told me to use immodium for any diarreah.

Thank you all so much for helping me earlier.  He told me this will not totally eliminate the w/d symptoms but that it will make it easier.  So, my last dose of norco was today at around 1 PM.  I'm c/t now.  I actually feel optimistic and like there is an end in sight.  

You all do not know what a special group you are!

A catapress is a blood pressure patch they use to ease w/ds, sometimes they give it with clonadine.  It did not work for me, but, they use it on almost everyone in detox, so it must do some good,,, :)  Huggs, G

What is 'catapress' anyway? A pain patch?
I never heard of it so I was curious.
