Thank you everyone for your comments, I guess I am going to have to wait until my insurance kicks in and try an outpatient detox with suboxone. I did it once before but it didn't work because I didn't really want it but I do now. It's just hard because of my already f-ed up colon. I can't wait to be able to get the medicine that I really need and get off these pain meds. But I am also scared about never being able to take narcotics again for pain. Does that ever worry you guys, like what if I get in an accident or something, or what if I do have to have surgery on my colon and afterwards I can't take anything for the pain while I am recouperating. I don't know i guess I worry too much. but thanks again and good luck to everyone who is dealing with this kind of problem.
Have you tried all of the over the counter stuff. Like Phillips?
There really isn't a 'low pain detox" that you can do at home... i wish there was or we would all have done it.. even with tapering there is some degree of diarreah and upset stomach.. consulting a doctor would be your best bet if you want to try to avoid issues with your colon. even some sort of outpatient program
yeah i guess i am but I have tried tapering and i just keep taking too many because I still hurt. I have been in rehab twice, but now I have this new job and I have to keep it, i was unemployed for two years and am just now getting everything back together but I want to get off these, i just don't know how, rehab didn't work for me even though i didn't really try but i want to know and can't go to rehab because of my job. So yeah i guess I am just looking for any kind of help for low pain detox so i can continue to work. Thanks for your help kleen.
Hi Hun!
I am sorry you are in so much pain. I know it is difficult. I suffer with chronic pain also. Are you asking for a way to get off the meds? A tapering perhaps?
Post and explain what it is you need.
