Just want to know more and more I'm learning alot from here...I'm clean but to be honest I did couple yesterday cause of my big cavity and root canal , worst pain in the body...=( sorry guy's....can't stand that pain! but it got better. I got some advil's and stuff now.
you're right to be honest suboxone help's...and I have a plan for it not depending on it..just want the hydro out of my system...i hate it I drink like 6-10 water bottles a day....
My opinion..I've been addicted to morphine, Dillaudid and heroin for years and the best advice is if your getting prescribed narcotics have a responsible person who understands ur problem dispense them too you. Relapse is just around the corner..
ahhhhhhhhhh doing better now... Thanks Guys for being there seriously...it's hard when noone is around or talk to.....That would help alot if had people hang around..go eat dinner or go mall or something movies..productive...instead by myself then it hink man i am so bored!! lol
Yea...But gotta stop! lol I just wanna get through this and forgot how pk even feels like and next time I see one I be like oh no...that made my life misery for couple years.
Thanks' I just feel so ashame of myself...like really...like I was doing good till then...but I'm done. when i do it I don't even like feel happy I just think like what did I just do...but yeah gotta move foward and just stay away ASAP!

You didnt let anyone down. You got the meds from the doctor and had someone holding them. Just continue to move forward and hold yourself accountable like you have been doing~
I agree with Fireby 100%. We addicts can be very manipulative and make a little bit of pain seem like it's worse than it really is. I know when I'm in addictive addiction I get a little pinch of a pain and justify that I need to take something...right now! LOL!
Thanks bryan. Yeah....I literally gave it to my girl cousin she dosent take it she puts it up she went with me to the DOc.
I am going to chime in here a little.
There are times IMHO that any addict is going to need narcotics on a short term basis. If you receive a significant trauma (say a smashed femur), your going to be given narcs unless you refuse, but you will pass out from the pain eventually. I cannot speak to teeth, mine have always been good, but I thnk we do stretch the truth to docs sometimes, which is why it is so dangerous. Being red flagged takes care of this, any script is going to get checked and if your doc KNOWS your an addict they will call BS on any script that is not very, very, very legit. This is why my dentist also knows I have a addiction. The only reason I speak up is I literally had this conversation with my doctor about what would happen to me if I had a serious injury, because I for sure, addict or not, want to get pain relief if I smash my leg or arm, at least short term. The key is what others have said, after the extra hoops to get it filled, then you hand them off to friend or family that knows your an addict, they dispense them as prescribed, and you stop when OTC can handle it.w

Oh yeah forgot about oragel! I did just wash my mouth with salt and water nastyyyyyy haha....I hate those evil pills....i hate even looking at them..seriously...messed up my LIFE. and money gone when I coulda got so many thing's and be happy with..I'm through I promise y'all...i told my doctor I'm DONE. I am on suboxone planned...for 2 in half weeks Then no more.Just want that hydro out of my system.
Funny how we can rationalize taking just one or two of those evil pills. I have had a couple root canals and wound up with dry socket and that pain was unbearable. And sometimes all the stirring up of things in your mouth, gums and jaws can be pretty intense after having those dental dams and tools propping your mouth open. Have you tried orajel?
It's not too terribly bad. Just put something to drink in your mouth and then empty the aspirin-like powder into your mouth and then swallow it! Gross, but it will probably help. You have to be able to take aspirin to take it, I think. It is just bitter! Bleeckk!
Yea I will try I'd rather have something taste nasty then doing that ughhhhhh evil pill!
Thank you! I will surely do that! and yes I promise I won't ever lied actually never did but before first time I came on here I did relapse then break down and cried, But gotta help myself to get up I like to listen to eminem - Not afriad since it's a meaning to being a addict.
Well, here is what I did when I had dental implants done. VERY painful! I took 800 mg of Ibuprofen and Tylenol or I took a Goody's Powder which is essentially the same thing.....just adds some caffeine, but it's a good pain reliever. Tastes like doo doo though! Ice will numb it, but won't feel too wonderful to your skin, so wrap it up. The good thing is that 1) you were honest. 2)you learned from it and 3) dental pain isn't chronic pain from something like a root canal. It WILL get better soon! : ) If it's really bad, walk up and ask a pharmacist what is the best thing to buy to treat post-root canal work without a prescription. They should be happy to help you!
Hey!!! Good for you! Being honest isn't easy! I commend you for being honest, both here, and with your doc. Way to go! That's super!
I find Motrin works well...ask your dentist, but usually 600-800mg every 6 hrs as needed will help. Sometimes, they'll tell you you can take Tylenol in between. Ask your dentist what you can take, and the doses. Ice can be helpful too. Don't be afraid to call him and ask!

Sorry I really let y'all down but the pain I just coudn't stand it anymore I wasnt enjoying it I did it and laid down and watched tv it still hurted to just wanted to punch my mouth, Yes I'm being honest also..I woudn't lie for people who is trying to help and give me advice's I know addict's are hard and think they find there way to make people believe them , But i'm serious. Thanks guy's...and being straight foward with me....
Any other medicine not OTC but in stores will help to ease the pain? I set up a appt I already told my doctor just earlier that don't give me any opiates or anything because I was over using it..
Thanks, I promise I won't , I won't go this far for no reason and go back and forth , I feel ashame...sorry guy's I've let y'all down...but I was being honest, and I meant being clean as TODAY..not yesterday. =/
THank you, I promise on my life and everything I stand for. I didn't lie to the doc to try to get any...but man this is the worst pain ever! Lol I'd rather punch my mouth haha
Yes, I got it from doctor but I gave it to a family member told them I don't need to be touching it anymore cause I'm a addict with those things. So theyt ook it.
Thhank you , I cant lie esp to people and family which are yall support me =/ my teeth still hurt I just took some advil and laying down
I noticed you reset your tracker back to zero days clean so I am sure you get what everyone is saying.
On the other hand don't let this get you too down. Just tell youself you will not use today. Good job on getting an OTC med and using that after.
Don't slide back into taking pills after taking them yesterday.
It was good you were honest.
