I was a long time user of Vicodin and Percoset and came to believe that these drugs can actually cause pain! It's not uncommon for one to develop water retention and swelling of the lower extremities. There were times when I could not bend my knees or wear socks and shoes.
It's possible that you have some withdrawal problems as well. Another thing to think about is maybe you have a bad mattress and are actually hurting yourself in your sleep. Don't laugh at this idea! We may go to bed in a blissful, painless state...sleep in some contorted position and awake hours later with not only withdrawals but strange aches and pains.
By all means, seek medical help and have some tests done if you are able. I'd say good luck but "luck" has nothing to do with addiction problems...you have to fight and win everything you get!

Hello,
I'm sorry you are experiencing that much pain... I have to ask a question though. When you say you "Can't move" do you mean you literally can't move (you are now paralized), or do you mean it is too painful to move? If you have been taking only 1 or 2 percocets per day, the withdrawl symptoms would be mildly painful, but no worse than a bad case of the Flu-- and would only last between 3 days and at most a week. keep coming back and watch for more input on this board, I'm sure you will get more answers from the good people who visit here!

You are most welcome and I'm glad that you know you have a problem! My first round with addiction was very unpleasant in that it took an arrest by law enforcement and 30 days on a detox ward before I realized that I had a problem. I was clean for over twenty years when my addiction came back to ruin my life. I was arrested for script forgery and spent another six weeks in detox and a rehab program. Why I relapsed is a long sad story, but at the time I actually "believed it was warranted".
Please know that there are millions of people like us out here that are struggling with the same problems. Now that you've opened the door and come out of hiding, maybe there is hope for you! Ultimately, we have to draw a line in the sand and declare war on our addiction. Or you could "***** foot" around like me and keep suffering. It's a matter of choices.

I hope your antidepressents are monitered by a dr. cause I think u sould only take one at a X. I tryed em all , none helped, was

HANG IN THERE--we are your friends and support group--I just started here and it just makes such a difference to no there are people out there who understand what I have and am going thru.
bless you and we care about you.

Yes, the antidepressants are monitored by a physician - wellbutrin, prozac and lamictal (which is actually an anticonvulsant that is used to treat mood disorders, Ilike tegretol or depakote). Depression is much more of a long-term impediment in my life so I am reluctant to change the regimen. However I know from experience that using opioids makes my depressions worse.
Thank you for making me feel so welcome. I hid this problem, lied, denied, you name it for a long time.
