ANOTHER UNSATISFIED OPIATE ADDICT
by pzt, Nov 23, 1999 12:00AM
HELLO. I ‘VE SEEN THIS TOPIC ANSWERED BEFORE, SO I’M HOPING FOR A BIT OF ADVICE.
I’VE HAD PROBLEMS IN THE PAST W/ OPIATE ADDICTION, EVEN TO HEROIN, AND AFTER THE LONGEST TIME I FINALLY WENT DRUG FREE FOR ABOUT A YEAR. NA HELPED STAY CLEAN, BUT SOONER THAN LATER I WAS GIVEN AN RX FOR TYLENOL W/ CODEINE AND MY ADDICTION STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. AFTER BEING CLEAN FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS, I’VE ONLY BEEN TAKING TYLENOL #3 2X DAILY FOR 2 WEEKS AND NOW VICOPROFEN 7.5 (?) FOR 2 WEEKS. SO ALL IN ALL, A FULL MONTH OF OPIATE USE AGAIN.
THIS WEEK MY RX RUNS OUT, AND I DON’T WANT TO BEGIN THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF LIES AND FAKE ILLNESS’ TO GET PRESCRIPTIONS, SO I HAVE TAKEN A DAY OR TWO OFF WORK W/ THE HOLIDAY, AND PLAN TO RIDE OUT THE WORST AT HOME IN BED. BUT…
WILL MY BODY HAVE GOTTEN USED TO THE VICODIN AND TYLENOL#3 IN ONLY A MONTH?? AND WILL I GO THROUGH UNBEARABLE W/DRAWAL LIKE I DID WHEN I TRIED TO QUIT HEROIN A FEW YEARS BACK. ????
NOTE: I’VE TAKEN ABOUT 2 PILLS DAILY FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS W/ ALMOST A YEAR IN BETWEEN.
