Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers.
Logo - I am really grateful you posted. I have never come off of dilaudid before and really don't know what to expect...
Was a rough night last night. My body would seize and then shortness of breath. I took half a pill (2mg) at midnight so I could sleep. Really disappointed I couldn't make it through the night but I was truly scared. Don't have a tremendous 'craving' for the high (yet?) but am afraid that will come too and I'll end up caving.
I am giving my daughter the pills today and will keep a half again for tonight in case I "freak out" again.
I have been taking them since April 4mgs 6 - 8 times a day. They were prescribed for back pain and the rest is such a repetive rambling....
I have never experienced this whole encompassing pain before. The loss of body control is extremely scary and unnerving. My skin is on fire but freezing???
How long can I expect this to last?
I am so grateful to you all for posting, it has kept me from becoming completely unglued.
