what to expect with going to controlled substances tomorrow after 7 years of xanax and norco

[monkey36]

I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what's ahead of me. I am a working mother of 3 kids and Monday mydr decided to take me off of xanax and norco after 7 years of use. I know what the withdrawls of both are but never had them at once. Tmw is my first class and I am scared

[monkey36]

I have tried wellabutrin and no go... I am jacked trying to live a normal life while going thru the withdral and detox. Not good please pray for me

Well, the Xanax are gone, anyway.  There several different things they can give you for the anxiety that aren't addicting in themselves  (I was offered Xanax and refused).  My doc gave me Wellbutrin and it really.worked!  YOU CAN DO IT!!!!  A week ago I felt like Hell warmed over, detoxing from Fentanyl, but every day got better and better.  I feel halfway human now and I'm SO glad to be rid of it!  Keep going, you'll get there!!

You need to take the meds exactly as you were told. Did they tell you to take 1/2 of clonidine?  Or did you do that on your own?     If you mess around with the doses you'll get confused as to what you took when. Do it as they said and then write it down so you remember.  Phenobarb is the most important. You need that every 3 hours so you don't have a seizure.

Keep in touch~~

Withdrawls for the phenobarbitol and muscle relaxers for the jerking and restlessness at night

[monkey36]

I just too a half of the clonidine I still have to take care of my son who is 2 once he goes to be should I take all 3 at once? Right now it is 428 where I am he normally goes to bed at 8pm

[vicki595]

That sounds very good. It will help!!  Be sure to take them just like that.

Get rid of the Xanax. You just can't take it with phenobarbital. It's dangerous.

Keep posting about how you feel. Try to take all those meds on a set schedule. When you take the next pheno barb,take the other two meds. That way,you'll be taking all 3 together four times a day.  ( Unless you've already taken the clonidine and muscle relaxers).

Let us know~~

May I ask what they gave you Phenobarbital and muscle relaxers for?

[monkey36]

Kind of they state every 3 hours for the phenobarbitol every 6 hours for the clonidine every 6 hours take 2 muscle relaxers. Yes I have zanax left in the house . I have taken one phenobarbitol here at work the rest I have to do at home

[vicki595]

Hi~  Don't be scared. Those are excellent meds to get through withdrawals.  They told you how to take them, right?   Have you started?

If you have any Xanax or Norco in the house,get rid of it. It would be bad for you to mix that with the new meds.

Let us know how you are~~

[monkey36]

Well here I am with phenobarbitol clonidine and musle relaxers. They said it would take 5 days to detox with all of these meds ... I am still scared

[vicki595]

Yes,please let us know.  I'm sure they'll be professional and treat you well. Explain that the doctor kept giving them to you.   They will,I'm sure,taper you off the Xanax and help you through the withdrawal from Norco.  Ask them any questions.

Good luck and God bless~

I want to be sober I want to be free of both of them I want to wake up . God blessand not be worred on how many pills I have left to get through the day. The 2 of you are a blessing to me. Not even my husband knows about the norco. He does about the xanax. I will be honesty and tell them everything. I just hope that they don't. Look down on me for something that their phisician gave to me without hesitation everythime. As soon as I am done tommorrow I will let you all know. Please pray for me and wish me well god bless you and thank you

[vicki595]

Okay...you'll be fine. She's making sure you're covered. They'll ask you questions so be sure to answer honestly. And Sara told you to write your questions down.  They won't let you suffer...

[dominosarah]

Write down your list of questions for them so when you go in you can ask them everything.  Take some deep breaths....you will know more tomorrow.  Let us know how it goes.      sara

[monkey36]

The dr that stepped in for mine said that the controlled substance dept will help me with medications for withdrawls mentally and phisically. I go tomorrow in the am before.             work. What about the norco withdrawl? I am so messed up

[dominosarah]

Call the doctor now and keep calling until you get ahold of one........sara

[vicki595]

What does it mean : "Going to controlled substances tomorrow"?

What classes?

[vicki595]

Yes,Sweetie!  Call today and tell her you know it's dangerous.

Let us know~

[monkey36]

I have enough for the weekend........   I am so scared.  Should I call her today?

[gnarly_1]

Do you still have some left or are you completely out...if so ask your pharmacist they may give you a few to get you by till you can get to another doctor...be honest with them and tell them that this wasent your normal doctor  

[gnarly_1]

I agree with Vicki you need to ether call the doctor back or get another doctor involved it can take a couple of mo to get off xanex...it needs to be done slowly to avoid seizures this is serious stuff where talking about here so act now...good luck and God bless....Gnarly

[monkey36]

This is not my normal dr.. it was one standing in for her and she said I had been on both for too long. I know its dangerous. I am scared. Very scared

[vicki595]

Why is the doctor stopping the Xanax like this?   It's not right and it's dangerous! Xanax must be tapered. Call the doctor back for a tapering plan.
