oxycotton and soma - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

cottonhead · 02-28-2007, 02:44 PM

Hello everybody, i have just registered for this site, over the past 2 days, i have followed Mikiglen and her story, and found it very moving along with a few others. I have a question, has anybody with a real pain problem ever been able to maintain a doctors script and actually follow it for any length of time? I have been on oxycodone 30mg 5-6 a day, combined with soma 350, i have gone through the withdrawal thing several times in the past, from not following the script, and taking more than i should have, usually 10 or so a day, this has been going on for about 6 months or so. In the past maybe 10 years ago i was really abusing zanax, lortab, and ataivan, i stoped all 3 at once, and thought i would die, i have never felt anything like that in my life, and after reading some other threads about zanax, its a wonder i didnt die. Any thoughts would be appreaciated.

I personally have NEVER been able to control my pain medication..maybe for a few days but inevitabley I abuse them.
So are you wanting to quit? Are you using now?? How is it working for you?
Write back soon!
love north

I have just recently gone through a 10 day clean spell, all the bad withdrawal, it was pretty bad for the first 5 days, because the last script i got lasted 20 days instead of 30, but the meds really do help, if i could only take them like i should.

I have been reading this site for several days, and there are a lot of good people, with some pretty good ideas here. im glad to be here

On mikis thead there is racegirl she has been taking her meds just as prescribed for a long time now she is no longer abusing them. Some of us do need them for legit pain. Most of us cant control them though. I have someone give me mine if I need them. I believe she has someone dole out hers too and now she doesnt need that go follow her story and see that it can be done. Takes will power you will have to find out if you have it or not. If not then have someone hold on the them for you so yuor only taking them as prescribed and you wont run short.

Thanks kj, for the info, i will do that, it seems like im on the fence right now, ive been through withdrawal, and am clean right now, for the last 10 days. At the same time the pain is back too, i get my meds today, i want to use them like i should, i certainly dont want to go through withdrawal again, it really, really, SUCKS

Greeneyes ws on xanax and she had just gotten the oxycodone. The oxycodone is the chief suspect in her passing. we have not gotten the toxicology report yet but that is the one that we are looking at. the bottle only had about 10 in it and I know there was alot more than that when she filled it. pills are no joking matter. they are as deadly as heroin or any other drug like that.

thanks for the info, mywifesanaddict, and also i am very sorry to learn about your loss, it must be an awfull thing to have to go through, and i wish you the best

cottonhead · 03-02-2007, 04:03 AM

Hi everyone, im finding myself more and more addicted------to this site-----im starting to feel like i know some of you, and follow certain threads all the time.

What you continue to do here is a wonderful thing. I don't know if I'd have the fortitude. You do her a great service, and us as well.

Hi everyone, i just thought i would check in, and wish everyone well, does anybody have experience with soma, are they addictive, are they bad news??????, if taken properly

cottonhead · 03-06-2007, 09:38 AM

i just thought i would check in and say hi, i keep comming back to this site to see whats going on with everyone, can anyone tell me if soma is addictive and what kind of withdrawal happens after stopping CT.

northbelle · 03-06-2007, 09:58 AM

Hey there, not much good info for you but I wanted you to know someone is here !! Just MY OPINION..somas are a muscle relaxer and not addictive...should not have much at all in the way of withdrawals besides some tense muscles!!!!
Glad you are here cotton. Hey you can POP IN anytime you want to!! You have just as much right as anyone to post !! OK??
Now I hope to hear more from you so we can get to know you!!!
love north

mikiglen · 03-06-2007, 02:12 PM

i don't know, i was in rehab years ago with a soma addict, she had a lot of trouble with the withdrawals and the cravings. personally, i don't know anything about them, as i never took them. i think they can be addictive, tho

Smyle · 03-06-2007, 02:20 PM

I had a terrible addiction to soma....they claim to be non addictive ..like ultram...but some states have changed their drug class from 6 to class 5 ...which just shows you that they do have potential for abuse...

but I loved all drugs..I did not discriminate...addictive or not...I would gobble them up if they gave me a buzz..

be careful
