hydrocodone addiction - Page 21 - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Good to hear from you Buzz, I have been wondering where you were.

I appreciate everyone's advice on the patches and other prescription pain meds. Don't worry though, I won't be taking the patches. I do have quite a bit of pain but I normally just deal with it. I keep telling myself that it's a mind over matter thing. Haven't tried the acupuncture but it's something that I would consider. I'll do some checking around about that.

Take care everyone.

posting from my mom's personal experience.
she started on fentanyl patches, i don't remember the dose, more than two years ago. the first day she would be really buzzed and flying around, then the next two, before she put on a new one, would just be levelled out.
BUT, she got addicted to the fentanyl and her doctor added those fentanyl suckers to the mix. she now goes through boxes and boxes of 800mg suckers literally in a couple of weeks.
she is miserable, she is stuck in bed, she is a horribly suffering addict. she can't do anything, go even a couple of hours without a sucker in her mouth.
please don't go that route

A message for Chloe06. I have been worried about you Chloe...haven't heard from you in weeks, are you all right? If you read this let us know how you are, ok. I'm worried about my buddy in Austrailia...

blueline · 12-04-2006, 07:05 AM

rhapsodyblue, you are absolutely doing it right if you are in here and you are very welcome in here. I, and many others in here, know exactly what you are going through and how you feel. You will find, as I did, that the people in here are wonderful, caring, and sincere people who really want to help you. Most of the people in here have already experienced what you are going through right now. I know you are feeling terrible, but keep in mind that after a few days things will start to improve and you will be on the road to a much better and happier life. As I said, you are very welcome in here and I look forward to talking with you on a daily basis until you are better. Keep the faith and be strong. You do have friends.

By the way, this is day 99 for me.

blueline · 12-04-2006, 07:12 AM

Good evening. I am in the medical field. I had a bilateral mastectomy 07/28/2000, and 8 surgeries thereafter. I, too, became addicted to Vicodin ES/Hydrocodone. i took 2 tabs 4 times a day. I quit only when I noticed that when my pill supply was getting low, i got nervous. RLS, like you have, is a very common side effect. sweating, "head spins", heart palpitations, irritability, and you may feel like "you have no personality without the drug. been there, done that. It takes roughly 2 weeks, before all of those physical symptoms go away. I've been "off" the pills for 2 years almost, and i'm just now stopping thinking about it monthly. it WILL all decrease. the physical withdrawl symptoms are the WORST, i know. don't be afraid to call your local pharmacist & talk to them. you needn't give your name...just your question. Good luck!

blueline · 12-12-2006, 07:24 AM

Thanks Desperate for that good info, and thanks everyone else.....

I still would like to hear from Chloe6, hope she is doing ok. Chloe and I entered this thing together and fought this battle together. I hope she is doing ok and hasn't slipped backwards. Even if you have Chloe, I want to hear from you....drop us a line.
