Good Morning to All!


*YEAH* I finally was able to start my own thread, after trying for a week, it finally worked!!!  I really hate to interrupt another

Good post Pon.

To bad I couldn't make it without the meds and deal with the pain running down my leg.

I feel like I lost and let people down. That hurts alot.

Although, my wife is behind me 100% and so was my doctor after I talked to him on my 1st day(mon) without meds. He understood my reasons.

Till I can get the proper treatment, it looks like I will just have to watch how much I take.

Cyn,

On day 14, I'm beginning to have sleep problems - even wit klonopin, trazadone, dioxepem, benadrayl; that's alot of stuff to get me to sleep; to past 2 nights I have been banging the bed and screaming....

So, I'm wondering why suddenly after the earlier day, my sleep patterns (I usually slept very well 8 hours per night) but then I was taking a few darvocets and 1 klonopin..

Last night made me want to relapse.  I thought, it this persists...I'd rather go back to darvocets.  I'm hoping very much thet the sleeep patterns will come back to normal

Hey, it is hard for all of us to stand back up...this is not easy...if it were we wouldn't all be here.

Sounds like the pills have left you with a lot of things that you feel are unfinished...sounds like you want to finish them too.  Got to finish the pills Alissa...it is the key that unlocks the door to all of the other things you want i8n your life.

Addiction is not easy...but you can beat it...lots of the folks here have or are in the process of doing so...I am willing to bet that there are very few who can say they went cold turkey and din't experience some setbacks...

The thing is though, you have to keep trying...like everything hard and worthwhile in life, it carries a price of discipline and it sometimes requires practice before you can get it right.

Please don't give up...there is a lot of good waiting out there for you...you just have to keep trying...put one foot in front of the other...you can do it

prayers

Allisa,
You might want to try and get the Recipe and try it that way. I had no problems, except with the lingering pain. The withdrawls weren't that bad. I wish you the best of luck in your journey. We are all here to help.

Some on the wagon, some still riding the coaster.


I know how hard it is, I just went back after 4 days.
I am going to stick with my Docs recommendation and see a new neurosurgeon that can help. Not just give pills, and a handout on a new diet plan.

The time off meds was great. I will get there soon again. I am just going to give another neurosurgeon a chance to see if he can come up with a long term plan to help with my degenerating disk.

I was just tired of waiting 3-4 weeks to get an appt. Then you spend 15 min. with the doc and he does nothing to remedy the pain. I want a doc that gives out nothing and works with me to fix what is causing the pain.

I know I will have back problems again. But I want a plan of attack that only includes meds for a short period of time. Something I can stick to to prevent the pain running down my leg.

I'm confused, lost, and wish I was healthy.
