[SHELLBELL79]

OMG! well i finally went to a 3 to 5 day detox. i know 5 days isn't long enough but its all i could afford.  anyway I am detoxing off of the fentayl or duragesic patch and i was taking 150mcg. before that i was on oxycontin 60 mg 2x a day and 3 vicodin es every 4 hours 4 x a day. i took these medications for my painful disease which is called chronic interstitial cystis and vulvodynia, basicly pelvic pain syndrome. its hell, well i started seeing a pain specialist who could do these treatments to really help with my pain and im waiting on a pain pace maker!!!. people who live in pain try it.  anyway so i got this other procedure done that was simialr to it called radio frequency and it helped a lot and i didn't have to take the vicodin es for the breakthrough pain, but i was having constantly raise my pain med every 2 weeks, so i had to detox. let me tell you i went throught tourture hell! i went in wed morning to start detox and they gave me clonodine and tramadol. i couldn't offord the subuoxone b/c it was $375 DOLLARS. i was juse weak and tired the first 2 days but the 3rd day i felt like i had the flu and i felt like total hell. they told me oh the 3 rd day is the worse and then you'll getr better. i don't think so. the pain i had was constant throbbing and burning. it never stopped. i was moaning and screaming. i never slepted one bit since wed night and its tuesday. i took about 50 hoyt baths from friday to monday night. every night i had the damn restless arms and legs. i have the heartburn. i had to go see my doctor yesterday because i was in excruciating, tourture pain and couldn't take another day. she said she didn't understand why i was stilll like this ans offered to put me in the hospital or on subuoxone. i didn't want to the hospital and have people tell me what to do and all that. i went through that getting off xanax at the same rehab she wanted me to go to. so i said i would stick it out one more day and find some kind of money for the suboxone tommorow. well after last night of having diareah, throwing up, naseauted and in severe pain, jittery , restlesss legs and arms that was it! well i woke up today (tuesday) out of pain and just exusted and very weak. i passed out this morning going to the bathroom. i haven't eaten since wed. i am drinking my gatorade and something is seriously wrong with my taste buds , b/c everything tastes like ****. i want to know if anytone experienced detox like this and when willi feel normal? whne am i going to finally SLEEP?? etc???  thanks ya'll! anyone dtoxing i will pray for ya'll!

fentalyn says it has a short half -life. that what i looked on the duragesic website on the drug info and that is what the head doctor of 3 big psych hospital said, hes a ex/addict himself. he became a doctor to help people like him.

If you are coming off the patch. You are in for a very long rife. Fentanyl has a very long 1/2 life, so w/d can last weeks.

I did a med-assisted WD for Oxy (about 300 mg), and I forget which day sucked the most ... 2, 3, and 4, I think, but once you start coming out, what a difference! Wasn't doing the cocktail you were into, but I bet you're up to 70% in a few more days.

Anywat, got back into it three months ago with migraines and am heading for the cellar on Saturday. This *****.

Good Luck ...
