GOD DAMN MYSELF

[snowtard]

i just cant seem to kick this stuff,seems like the harder i try the worse it is,the more i put into it the less it gives back,this just needs to end,i understand that my body wont just not be addicted bacause my mind wants it too,but wouldnt it be great if it was like that,also seems the only time i type is when i'm running low on meds or are out completely......although i read everyday. this is just a evil circle,i was seeing a pain specialist because kiaser just kept giving me norco's,so i went outside kiaser to see if i could get help,he put me on kadian(100 mg. morphine)...which did not help at all,so i told him it wasnt helping i was still craving norcs and still having minor wd's,so he put me on 40mg oxycontin........what a ****,now i'm strung out on oxy AGAIN. i knew better,its half my fault, so now i wont go see him anymore and am gonna end up buying norco's off the street to kick the oxy habit and be back to a norco addict.......i guess its better then being an oxy addict. a friend of mine is trying to talk me into joing a methadone clinic he's in.....but thats just trading one evil for a worse evil i think. i was right about my wife she is addicted to norco's too,she just told me a few days back,which is my fault aswell cause i always had em around the house,she started taking em about 4 months ago she says only 2 a day which is not bad,she should be able to stop fairly easy,i have her down to 1 a day now,starting next week it will be half a day then none. i wish i could do that. i dont know what to do anymore,i guess i'm gonna give suboxone a try,again i fear its one evil for another,but atleast i can get a steady supply of that and not have to stress about where i'm gonna get my next bottle of pills. i odnt really have a question just needed to vent,any replies would be cool,thnx

Have you ever tried going to an in-patient de-tox program? That might be the place to start. If not possible, many insurances will cover this, and worth looking into. Have you considered NA? It's helped many people get off heroin and other opiates. Seems like "legal" drugs are the worst to come off off.
I was in severe pain for 2 years until i got 2 total hip replacements and was on vicodan for a while. my therapist and i put togeher a tapering schedule, with a 2 month target and i was completely off in 6 weeks.
Also I had to treat THE SOURCE of my pain, through surgery. If you have chronic pain, is there anything the doctors can do to help heal the problem? After my hip replacements my pain went down about 90%. I saw an excellent sport-medicine doctor. he found the source of my pain, totally worn out arthritic hip joints.
Sometimes, just like automobiles , we need, tune ups, new tires and transmission work. Some folks take better care of their cars than their bodies.
Wish you the best. Prayer doesn't hurt either.

Suboxone is working great for my daughter . She takes 6 a day .It also helps her with back pain and reduces spasms .

try talking to your doc about suboxone It take all the witdraws away 1 pill a day its alot better than feeling guilty about each pill you take a day .That can build up to alot of guilt trust me ive been there and done that .The med. I am telling you about stops all withdraws witch gives you time to stop thinking about the Narcotics for a few months and then you quit it also .

[tammyk_40]

they are all opiates, you are addicted to opiates,  and when you take oxys instead for a few months that does not mean that youve withdrew off the norcos. youve been addicted the whole time. Im sorry if I misinderstood your post but it looks like that is what youre saying

[avisg]

I am sorry that you are still struggling . I know you really want to get a handle on this . I would talk to a pain management doc about it for pain management until you are done with surgery ......
I hope you had a merry Christmas

I have been on morphine and vic for 12 years.  you can stop when you are fed up sounds like you are almost lcose to that.  You nee to plan a 5 day shutdown of pressures and events.  the first 4 days are very hard.  Like very bad flu but with courage it can be done.  good luck

[msinsane]

you are right it is one evil after another and to bad we couldnt tell our mind we do not want no more and it all to stop but our minds seem to  know us better than we do  good luck and i hope you are able to really help your wife before she ends up like me i wish you the best ps  norco oxy tramadol(which has no narcotic in it) methadone are all addicting and even if you are only on norcos if them norcos run out and you can get a hold of the oxy would you take it i use to try and get the highest mg of all the pain meds thinking in my addicted mind that these would last longer and the crazy truth is 50 norco 7.5 and 50 norco 10 would all be gone in the same amount of time so i know my addiction was wayyyy out of control   good luck to you and your wife
