Fentanly Withdrawals

Updated

I have become a monster...I was given a perscription for the patches(75mcg) about 10 months ago and 90 oxy's(15mg) for the breakthrough pain. I ask the dr. to please help me come off the patches and was told that if I came off them he would dissmiss me as a paitent. Well I came off them myself or thought I could. Now i have made a new problem for myself. I quit them and had the 90 oxy's for a back-up plan so if the withdrawals became to bad for me to withstand. You see, about 20 years ago I was a junkie but got cleaned up and have been living a good life for the past 18 years. Well, to make a long story short I started shooting the oxy's, about 10 a day, and did not have very much withdrawal from the patches. Now I have created a new problem for myself and I am so ashamed that I went back down the road that I said I would never go back down again. What can I do? I have about 40 more oxy's left and I need to come off of these, but will the withdrawals from the patches come on when I run out of the oxy's ?? Have I just been covering up the withdrawals with the oxy's?? I am a monster for doing this and I am just considering ending my life so my family will not know what kind of monster I am.Can anyone out there help me??? Oh i was given these because of 2 back surgeries and 5 breast cancer tumors, one a year for 5 years. That made me have 9 different surgeries in 5 years until I made them give me a mastectomy. Also I had melignant melanoma on my thigh a year later and they will not say I am cancer free until 2015. These were the least of my problems. Drugs were the bigest problem in my life....Help me someone...

hi nutty...i'm danielle...that u went to detox and they were able to get u on suboxone is AWESOME and the only thing that could have helped u with where u were at with your situation...it's such a powerful and evil thing... i've been on suboxone since October 2010...i had, like u, been clean off of opiates for a period of time (just 4 years for me, but it was a miracle nonetheless) and i must not have been in as good a place as i thought i was, because all it took was 2 root canals in the same month to send me back to first vicoprofen, then oxy 30s...i did that for 7 months and it got way worse way faster, and this time i didn't have alchohol to help me. i quit drinking february 2006, was able to stay away from alcohol, but not the damn evil pills...suboxone saved my sorry a**....it's not been easy, and i don't want to be taking this stuff forever, but i have a healthy fear of going right back to where i was, and since my insurance covers suboxen which i am truly grateful for...i was started on 24 mg of the 8 mg suboxone tablet...i've gradually worked my way down to taking 12 mg a day...

i can tell u this much, as it was for me, back in november i realized 2 days had gone by and i hadn't taken any suboxone and i felt fine. i thought Ok wow, let's see if i can just keep going....well, by the night of day 3, i was starting to feel very OFF...when i woke up on day 4, i was in full blown withdrawl...it wasn't pleasant, but not like the withdrawls i experienced with oxys...all of my muscles ached, and emotionally and pscychologically i thought i was losing my mind or maybe having a nervous breakdown...i think it would have gotten much worse, but on day 4 i ended up taking one 8 mg tablet and 15 minutes later all was well...some people prefer the suboxone films...i have tried them and did not like them. i kept them for an emergency but really don't want to ever have to take them...everyone is different...i talk to people who love the film and hate the tablets...whatever works for u and keeps you clean off of the other stuff, that's all that matters...i go to my suboxone doctor every 5 weeks...getting sick of it, it's $25 per week, so that's $125 i give him every 5 weeks and getting super sick of it...however, i spent a lot more on pills...

i learned u must taper off of it very slowly...i do not care how long it takes me to taper off...this is much better than what i went thru with the pills...i was days away from losing EVERYTHING....my great job it took me years to find, my cute new apartment, my friends & family, and more than likely myself, because i was starting to think there was no way out...

Good luck and god bless, Nutty : ) U did a great thing!!

If you are being treated with Suboxone, the withdrawals when you finally come off of it should be minimal. It is usually tapered, very gradually, to help prevent the worse of the withdrawals and enable someone to become drug free.

It has a much better success rate at doing this than Methadone ever has, since it usually results in people having to be on a lifetime maintenance dose of it.

Well, I'm still alive thanks to suboxone. I'm off the patches and the oxy's and just taking the suboxone three times a day. Praise the Lord a doctor started helping me. I feel so much better and I'm not going through withdrawals anymore. Thank you for the concern. At least someone cared. I wonder how it will be coming off the suboxone???? Does anyone know???
