I'm falling apart. =[

I saw demons and had similar night terrors while on Vicodin. Totally terrifying. It's the only pill I ever flushed down the toliet willingly and with relief. I always say, "Satanic" when describing Vicodin. The ativan is a Benzo as you know, it's also dangerous but my bet would be squarely on the Vicodin.
Does Quantity/Length of Use really matter?

It doesn't sound like you are abusing the meds to me. The surgeon wants you o see a pain specialist so that the burden of giving you pain meds is on that doctor and not him. That is all that means. The pain specialist probably won't have a problem with the Ultram since it isn't considered a Narcotic. The Narco I know nothing about .... But surely someone else...

I have read that the anxiety peeaks at 30, 60 and 90 days from opiate withdrawal. Are you treating yourself for PAWS with aminos and taking vitamins? I never did the opiates you did, I was on tramadol, and 48 days off it, I have anxiety. But I know it is coming from withdrawal. So proud of you for getting off the opiates. It's worth it. You were on a l...
Tramadol... Ultram... whatever you want to call it.

The Tramadol is probably what is making you want to die. It's a horrible withdrawal. I will say that although I don't have your condition, I have two herniated discs and nerve damage into my right leg. I am now 47 days off Tramadol. It doesn't hurt. My back has hurt since 2000. The last five years, I took Tramadol, steadily. Withdrawal is the worst for 4 days...
