My b/f is in the hospital

I posted last night about my fiance taking all my percocets because I take them for pain. He was very upset about the elction results. I called poison control and then took him to the ER. He is doing well. They gave him some kind of black stuff to drink. Now he has to spend time in the psyke ward for overdosing. I am glad he is ok. But now, I feel terrible because I have no percocets left. I cannot even visit him before he goes to the psyke ward because I feel so crappy. I have a 1 year old daughter and now my mom and soon to be father in law have to help me through the withdrawlls until my next refill. I have the runs and feel crappy. Can't sleep etc etc. My fiance is begging me to visit him before they are done observing him until tomorow. I can't even get out of bed. Was the results of this election worth all this. He uses illegally and I get my script from my foot/ ortho doc. Can I call him and tell him what happened? I will have medical proof as my fiance will tell them everything. I fear they woont give me anymore because I live with a street addict. He has put us in such debt. My poor baby girl. She needs her mommy. I know I sounded crazy last night when I posted which was deleted. I nneded help and it was delted. Should I go somewhere else for help? Jeese ? I live in pain in my akilles tendon after rupturing it. It never healed right. Should I leave my fiance for my daughter;s sake? What else will help this pain? I have never withdrawn and it is horrible to the point of wanting to die almost. My fiance needs me so does my daughter. I have the runs, achy arms and legs just as you all described. I found this website after calling posion control and they told me to take him to the er which he refused for a bit. Now he is withdrawn from no drugs and is saying to me on the phone he wants to die. I am at a loss and my post was 100 perecent real last night. I can barely get these words out as my hands are shaking. Please any advice

girl seriously if you really need your meds. call you doctor and tell them what happened! I'm so sorry that happened to you and I'm sure your doctor would have some compassion as well. Especially if you don't try to refill early, or make other excuses, things like that. Take care of yourself, if you can't walk then thats a problem! Hope you're doing ok, and take LOTS of hot baths!! I didn't have a bathtub when I went through w/d's and it was pretty poopy! I apologize as well if I seemed snarky after your first post!

A hot bath with help TREMENDOUSLY!! I never said that you abused your medication, but since you are having w/d's, you are physically dependent on the medication. Most of us didn't take pain meds just because, but because we have REAL pain. Taking pain meds for the rest of your life is not a cure. I am not a doctor, but you would be amazed at how the pain can become less when your off the meds. Honestly, after reading sooo many stories on here about the pain some have to go through (SERIOUS INJURIES) I feel like a complete wimp that I took meds for lumbar injuries. I hope that you can admit that your dependent & ask for help for your daughter. There are so many WONDERFUL people here that can help you! There is also alot of people that can give you advice on what you could use(non-narcotic) for your pain.I am really glad that you are questioning your relationship. He doesn't sound very stable right now. Best of luck to you, & maybe if you post a new thread, someone could give you suggestions on how to relieve some of your pain.

I don't abuse the medication, never need new refills early so on and so on. I cannot walk right and now my posture is suffering from this, I really need the pills. These w/d are horrible. Like I said, I never abused them Posted on here b/c I was concerned abour fiance. I'm considering leaving him as my soon to be (maybe ) father in law filled me in on his past. Why did they not tell me about this before. I am a big baby when it comes to these withdrawn stuff. Never went through it. My fiance is now done observation and in the psyke ward for 72 hours. I want to leave him . He hurt me, my little girl and himself. I want to move far away from him I am so mad right now. At least the ammodium (sp) is helping. I M  a person that pays the bills in this relationship and has to work. If I can't take the pain pills, i need a cane. Come on now! Life isn't fair. I need to go b/c I feel like poopy. I am not going to call my doc until I am sure that I will leave my fiance. I need my pain medicine, I had to crawl to the bathroom to use to porceline bus with the runs earlier, I need a cane until this ends. I am too young for this and I hear my little girl yellling "mommy, mommy mommy". Breaking my heart. I dont know where to turn. These w/d are what I feel hell is like. I can't believe my bosy got so used to these so qquickly. Will I ever be normal again. Do I walk with a cane? take my pain meds? I just don't know. Hoe can I take my little girl to the playground when I can't hold her right to get there w/o the painmeds? It's hard to have pain that does not leave and to have a baby to look after, a job and an addict fiance. I feel HOPELESS!! Gotta get in the shower. I am getting hot and cold flashes. Will this help? MAaybe a bath?


God bless you all and I accept your apology. I was frantic the other night.

Dana, you consider yourself and addict??? Thats really sad they deleted your post, when you were crying out for help. I am sorry that happened to you. I am worried about your daughter. I know w/d's are really bad especially when it's cold turkey and you have chronic pain in the first place. I don't think it would be a good idea to stay with man that would do that to you. I understand being upset about the election last night. A lot of people are pissed off and upset about it! I was crying all last night with my mom and friends when McCain gave his speech! It is a shame. Well I am getting off the subject, so I hope the best for you and your daughter and that your finace gets big time help!

I saw your post last night and I owe you a HUGE apology....In our defense we have people who come here from time to time who will post something to get a good laugh[as sick as that sounds]at our expense.It seemed as though in your post last night the talk about the election overshadowed the part about you saying your fiance had just taken 30-40 percocet and combined them with alcohol.I sincerely apologize for assuming that was the case and I'm certain that everyone else who felt that way will say the same.This is a wonderful place for help.Lots of great,caring,compassionate people.Again I sincerely apologize and I'm happy to hear that your fiance is okay.Keep posting.You'll find lots of support here.I wish you both all the best......Kim

I guess the REAL question is...DO YOU WANT TO QUIT???? It sounds like you are just trying to make it until your next refill. I think your fiance needs help & so do you. I think that you should think of your 1 year old little girl. She didn't ask to have 2 addicts for parents. I think you should both try to help yourselves before you can even think about marriage. It is not an easy thing & I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I just am not sure if you want help. This is a WONDERFUL forum & it can help you ALOT, if you want it. I wish you LOTS of luck!

You could try it/telling ur doctor...not sure he would help u tho and alot depends on ur relationship....how much were u taking each day?  sounds like it may be time for u to evaluate ur own situation...if ur pain is unbearable without them then it is a choice u must make...something that holds control over u like this is awful/was for me...a friend who is an addict had her purse stolen with her new scrip of pills/whole bottle of 120 pills...he would not replace them unless she filed a police report..gets sticky...i guess u can ask but calling attn to urself is not always good either...alot depends on ur goals for urself
