DAY 5 OFF NORCO'S..NEED INFO PLEASE!

I already know how it is to detox from hell b/c I did it in July getting off 150mcg of the evil fentanyl patches. I have am a severe chronic pain patient and live in pain. It took me a month to get rid of the w/ds from the fentanyl and i would never wish them on my worst enemy! Anyway, after suffering everyday with no pain meds for 3 months , just by using 800 motrin and zanaflex, hot baths, heathing pads. I decided to get the radio frequency procedure again and it did not work. I had to take pain meds after b/c it was extremely painful for a month and Ive been to the ER in severe pain with bladder and kidney infections like 8 times since the end of Sept. Its b/c of my condition Interstitial Cystis and Vulvodynia. There are 2 anti-biotic resistant bacterias that don't go away and they are very commen. So when you get a bladder /kidney infection its like 10,000 worse of your regualar pain. I guess thats why they take me in right away instead of making me wait 6 to 8 hours. Anyway , since my tolerance was so damn high from the fentanyl I kept having to increase the dose higher and higer. I was up to 4 to 6 10/325 Norco's 3 times a day. I would end up running out and I just wanted to originally take it for extreme pain and emeregencies but I had 2 surg. proc. and 7 root canal need almost 50 grand of work done on my teeth b/c of the bladder meds I take, and alll the bladder and kidney infections I had. So I ran out Friday night and this a cake walk compared to fentanyl. Don't get me wrong I still feel like **** big time. The 1st 3 days were the worst with the severe leg cramps and anxiety, diareah. On the 4th I felt so much better but today which is the 5th I feel like ****. My lower back hurts soooo bad, I have anxiety even with xanax. I know xanax is addictive. Im careful with that. I just don't understand why the hell I feel worse on the 5th day than the 4th!!! Im  taking cal/mag, multivitamin, 800 motrin, zanaflex,etc. I just wish the anxiety was gone and the excrucating pain in my back was gone!!! Im crying my eyes out in pain. Im using patches, epson salt baths, heathing pads. WTF This is ridiculous!!!! HELP PLEASE IVE HAD IT!

THANKS,
SHELL

You will get through this. You have done it before. You should feel better in a couple of days. Do you still have cravings?
