Missy I so agree....I think I was told now these can b auditing.....oh u think 8 years later....I can't move, sweating bullets, toilet now new best friend, and oh my goodness the depression......but with a disc that the mri said exploded....(me) grabbing scrips running to pharmacy, popping magic pill, pain going away, sitting on couch, Oh what did that Dr say about these pills?......uuhhh....I think he said ADDICTIVE.. too late addicted. And so the cycle started.... Yes drs need to b educated on this poison....just venting...
i really feel like tkg this further , wat i mean as alot of ppl gt opium tablets frm their gp 4 pain or 4 coming out frm an operation nd r nw sufferin with a really hard long term addiction like myself , my doc is taperin me down bt im findin it hard nw the less im gettin , i ve done really well bt he wants 2 keep goin , jst so hard , i understand bt i mean it was a doc who pt me on them in the 1st place like alot of ppl nd gt no warnin on the effect nd withdrawls of them , the funny thing is i ve been on opiots since 19 after my 1st child nd they decided 2 start taperin wen i was at the age of 32 , nw cmon , bcoz they took so long in doin this , its more harder 4 me , docs shouldnt ave given those pills out in the past so easily known the affects or in serious situations shouldve warned the patients of withdrawl etc nd startin taperin at a relistic time , i jst think sum of us should tk this further as its docs fault 4 givin them out in 1st place without warning ppl nd in my situation , waitin all those yrs until decidin 2 taper , their is alot of ppl like myself in this situation because of this , sumthin surely has 2 b done !!!!!!!!
When I was in the hospital they gave me tramadol. I had no issues with it not saying it worked or didnt going through withdrawls you feel like nothing helps ( atlest me) but I stayed long enough to detox once withdrawls were over I came home been clean since. I dont think you should take anything without seeing a doc first. My issues were first pills ( perks, soma, oxy's) then for a year herion and anything else I could get my hands on. I've been clean since @ 6/15/11
Please dont take either one of those meds. You will be just adding fuel to the fire. There are other things you can do that will help ease the wd's. Look at the health pages here as there is alot of info in there along with the amino acid protocol. Check into some sort of recovery care. Using is just a symptom of what is going on. You dont have to be a prisoner any longer to these pills. We are here for support so lean on us~~sara
hello and welcome to MH.
taking tramadol or methadone will just be crossing over to another addiction.
you can stop the madness.
flush the pills. you will go through withdrawals. it seems you have been there before.
seek counseling, one on one and support groups.
with addicts one pill is too many and a thousand is never enough.
you can do this.
stop this addiction madness, the insanity roller coaster, the revolving door.
without counseling you will most likely continue to relapse.
pray for strength to do what needs to be done.
we will encourage you and help you.
