addicted to pain pills...
hI everyone..
I was addicted to pain pills for about a year and a half.. I quit last january 2007.. i was taking about 5 vicodin (in the morning) and prolly 5-6 more thru out the day. I quit COLD turkey! well I had gotten some xanax and was taking those to substitute for pain pills.. and I would drink ALOT of alchol with those xanax. well then I had went to the er after waiting like 3-4 days.. well i had nerve spazms in my legs from stopping all those HORRIBLE drugs.well i was about 4 days off my withdrawl meds. and doing fine. i still had some nerve spazms in my legs but they were going away slowly but shurly..then my friend came in town and i felt good enough to drink with her.. BIG mistake! I didnt know that when you are addicted to pain pills that alchol does the same thing to your nervous system that pain pills do! well i drank a lot and the next day i woke up and had nerve spazms from head to toe NON stop.. horrible heart palpitations.. my resting heart rate was 135bpm wow! and I was holusinatind and hearing things.. my pupils were beyond dialiated.. and it was just horrible. I am lucky to be alive! well my heart paliptations finally went away like 5 mos ago. i have nerve spazms every day still and that is the only thing that i still have and it's only like 3-4 times a day. a doctor told me that my body would go back to "normal' but it would take "months, and months, and months" well it's been just about a year now and I am 70% better. I just found out I am pregnant with my second child and feel like my life is FINALLY on track! I got a second chance at life.. AND I respect every single one of you trying to make your life better for YOURSELF!
God bless all of you!

Look up the Thomas recipe (in my journals) The vitamins and supplements might still help you. The b-vitamins help with nerve repair. Giving your body the right ingredients gives it what it needs to rebuil itself. Keep in mind that nerves are one of the slowest parts of our body to repair themselves.
hi yea it was the HARDEST thing i have ever expierenced in my life.
I had done drugs most my life tho. and i have done a lot of research on it all thanks to "google" . i have heard that it could take any where from 2 weeks up to years... and I truly believe that I would of been just fine if I would of never drank that night. But the er doctor seemed Confident in what he was telling me.. and I told him that I wanted my body to heal on it's own.. and it has..so far
