Fentanyl Withdrawal Symptoms (Page 60) (Top voted first)

I'm trying to wean myself off the Fentanyl patch. I went from 75 micro-gms to 50 now I'm on 25. Having a problem and not sure it is related to the decrease in the med. It's been 20 days on the 25 micro-gm and I'm going crazy. I need to keep rocking, moving in any way b/c my body is very restless. Is this a symptom of withdrawal and what do I do? I cannot take it any more.

Ladies,
I am seriously worried about our Shannon.
I have called and called.
Today I called at 5:45 am CA time. Not only did she NOT answer but her MEMORY IS FULL.

Has anyone heard from her?
Does anyone have her address?

She lives in Santa Cruz, right?
Any other info we have on her, I would appreciate ASAP. I am going to go looking for her.
Hugs,
Angel

Hey Angel, I just got your mssg but I couldn't hear the area code. I'm doing better. Give me a call. I'm going to catch up on all the posts now as I've been busy trying to keep busy without hurting my back any further. I'm super scared of even turning the wrong way. I'm terrified of having to go under the knife again and keeping my pain managed as i won't do epiderals either again. That last set in Aug. was a total nightmare. If it was that. Still not sure. I did a battery of blood tests, annual exam and other stuff last week. Nothing is showing up. Talk to you soon.

This is my last post.
I am so sad to leave my friends because of only one.
I trusted someone on this blog.
I found out they do illegal drugs.
I was scrapping together money, with my generous and kind husband, to send to this person for Christmas.

But we have a relative now who has left a ruined path behind him because he rides the Horse with the name of Heroin.

Good-bye Shannon, Chelle, Lilted4, NurseAndrea, Weeler, K Bob, Preacher, Momma, Father, Cervical, Dundee Lady, Mary (who started this group years ago, all those I forgot and Nanna.

I may come back with a new name someday...or not. So keep that Welcome sign out. I have changed my email address to just a drop box and my phone. The police feel I need to make a clear break. I have told them my whole story. Beware.

I truly will miss you and if you want to post your cell phones or email addresses I will watch for some time.

This blog has helped me in innumerable ways.
GOD BLESS!

Your Angel

So sorry to see you go Angel. You have really held this group together in the short time that I have been here. I will miss you. You should have my cell # from where I texted you before. Don't be afraid to use it if you need to talk. Please take care of yourself.

Hugs,

Hey everyone hope you all had a good holiday. I didn't do anything special, just a regular work week for me. sucks being a nurse around the holidays...I get to work Christmas Eve and Christmas too. My boys spent Thanksgiving with thier Dad. I've got another sore throat...went to the Doc again and got some more antibiotics, should be better soon. I've been doing a little Christmas shopping. I actually even went out on Black Friday (like I said I would never do). The crowds weren't that bad since the stores opened on Thurs this yr. I think most of the crazies went out late Thurs night....LOL.

i hope everyone is doing well.

Hugs,

Well this saddens me because of Angels feelings. Sometimes I feel like people are talking about me when they say that someone is useing illegal drugs because of my past. I feel judged and if they only knew that the past was years ago and I'm not doing anything illegal. In no form or fashion. But, that is what people do is keep the stuff going around so that someone can be miserable. This also will be my last post and I will not come back under another name. I'm tired of all the people that keep my name going around so that they will have something to talk about. I guess I have something to talk to my mom about. She is the one that keeps telling me not to pay any mind to them because I know in my heart that I have paid for what I have done and the past is to stay in the past, and was forgiven by God. Everyone have a nice Christmas, I won't be around to see it. I have a very broken heart.

I had to come back to explain, again, the reason of my past. It was not a very good past, but I guess everyones has some kind of past. I was put in a hospital when I was 26 years old. While I was there a black doctor raped me three times. It is recorded in the law books it anyone wants to read it, and the gory details. Anyway, the state at that time was the only way I could get any help mental wise. Since I had sued the state, they escorted me out the door without any help at all. I tried to kill myself and knew then that I needed the help. Well, to make a long story short, I started using drugs to kill the pain that I suffered with. My family is the type that keeps everything under covers so they were no help. I was called so many names when I went to town, that I hid in my room for very many years. To support my drug habit, I wrote a lot of bad checks, went to jail, picked them up with the help of my lawyer that handled the lawsuit. I also stole or shoplifted from stores and would sell the stuff that I stole. So sometimes I went to jail with this problem. I was taught better then this, was taught to tell the truth, so this is what I did. I admitted to what I did and went and did my time. Then they charged me with trying to get a script with a bad script, which I really did not do. These were the only charges that were not true. But, to get a lighter sentence, I plead guilty. While I was on probation, I sold one, ONE pill to a friend. That friend got caught and turned on me, which was ok because I did this. I went to prison. After four years of sheer hell, I was paroled. I went back because of something that I did not do, and got the charges dismissed, but because I was charged to begin with, I had to go back. I stayed another four years. I have been out for a long time and have been clean for over 16 years. I never want to go back to that way of life, and never want to go back to that place. I DO NOT DO illegal drugs. I use to and that was my past. I told this way back and have been honest with everyone that I have talked to because they have the right to know what I did. Now I am branded and people wont let it go. I know I did wrong, God knows I did wrong. But I don't do anything but what the doctor gives me, and that is it. I take a urine test twice a month, randomly. One at the doctors, and one at the police office. I have always passed the test, and have gotten good reports. I have comptemplated killing myself the last 24 hours because this has hurt me and my family so much to think that someone would take what someone had done years ago and use it against them. My daughter, mother and 3 grandkids live with me and they know the truth and are very proud of what I have become. They have forgave me and my God have forgave me, I just wish everyone else would. Please don't judge someone untill you have walked just a little of what they have walked. I'm sorry, but I have told this story before on this website, if anyone cared enough to read it, and have been honest with everyone. I don't know it the words were for me that Angel had said, but it hit me very hard because of the things that were done to me, by me and against me. My world has been blown to pieces and I don't think this time I will be able to put them back together again. Have a good day eveyone. I'm having one heck of one, myself.....promise I won't be back now....

Nutty nanny you need to stand strong, it must have taken alot of courage to even come back on to write this. Please don't let somone run you off the PC..I only can say that many on here I am sure make mistakes but if you have been clean for so long then it's a shame that your still being talked about this way.. If I could give you a hug I would. Like I have said before I never talk to anyone other than in a post and have been grateful for just the caring that people on here have given.. Don't leave! You have family that love you, Do not do anything foolish like taking your life over somone else's comments.. That's their problem ..

Nanny don't leave, I didn't read your long reply, I didn't want to know the details. I feel bad that Angel left, but I did not even once think you were tied in with her situation. Hey, we all have a past, good news is we all have a future also, and it is what we do now that determines who we are, and who we become. I am now struggling with more than I thought I would because of back pain, I am not proud of everything, I keep going on and I keep looking forward. We will all get past our struggles but we must keep pushing forward. Stay with us.

Nutty nanny- maybe it was not you, and your just jumping the gun because of your Past.. You should reconsider and just take a break if you feel you need too.. On the days when my back is killing me I come on here to read other posts and see I am not alone. During the hurricane sandy when I had no electric or heat I was very depressed and cold.. When I read the posts afterwards it made me feel so much better that there were people who cared why I had not posted and if I was alright.. Funny my own cousins from far away never bothered to even send a email if I had a house left. Please don't let one person and your not sure it was even Angel who was pointing a finger at you run you off this .. Hope you don't go

I snuck back. I don't care who is watching.

Nanna, STOP IT!

My husband had a heart attack and I could not follow through due to medical bills. I have not opened my computer, mail or phone for two weeks and did not know what was transpiring here. What a mess! My hero, my lover and best friend almost died.

I was so afraid I might loose him.

This is God's punishment upon me, his Angel. I judged someone I did not know enough and just believed what the police told me. They scared me into not thinking straight.

Nanna, HOW. COULD. YOU. THINK. I. WOULD. DO. ILL BY. YOU??

H O W?

My husband was dying. Someone tried to scam me.
HOW, you know me and my love for you... My respect, ONE POST and you think it's YOU?

I am one weeping Angel, tonight.

My name is Tami and I am Nutty's daughter and I had to come one here to let everyone know that she is in the ICU unit. She opened her port and let it bleed out to were she has lost so much blood and the doctors think she may not pull through. I know my mother more then anyone on the face of this earth and I can tell you she is one of the most loving, giving, caring, and would help anyone that would ask. Someone on the site called her and told her that they were sending her a gift. She was so elated that she could buy her grandkids Christmas. Then out of the blue they called someone that did not know what she had been through and did not know enough to tell what she has accomplished. I don't know why they didn't just call my mother and ask for an explination, instead they got her hopes up and then shattered her world. I don't know what kind of web-site this is but I forbid her to come on this site again. That is if she makes it through this. The whole family is upset and we are very scared. So if the person that did this without my mother asking you to do this, cause I know my mother and she don't ask anyone to do anything for her, then you will live with this the rest of your life. I hope this makes you very happy to know that you could have prevented this by not even calling her to begin with. I know she did not ask you to send her anything. She has too much pride and know that this is something that was taught not to do. She could have asked the Church were she goes to to help, but she does not believe in messing with the Church, or asking anyone for anykind of help, no matter what kind of shape she is in. That is just the kind of person she is. I know that she has asked for prayer, but that would be all she would ask for. And my God she does not do any kind of illegal drugs, I would of all people would know because I stay right under her tail. I am going to see what I can do about shutting down this site because of this. To all the others that she looked upon as friends, I'm sorry that I have to do this but the life of my mother is worth everything to me. And her life is worth more than a stupid site that accused her of doing something she would never in a thousand years ever do. It broke ny heart to see what this did to my mother.

This is nuttys daughter. She is going to be alright, maybe not mental wise but health wise she will. Angel, she talked about you like you were a God or something. And you know that you were talking about her. Because I was sitting with her when you called and told her you were sending her a gift. Why did you do that to her. You sent her some patches a couple of weeks ago and I don't approve of that. And she asked you not to do that because I was sitting with her when she did this. Come on, now is the time to tell the truth. You just about shattered my mothers life, and then had enough gall to call the police like she asked you to do this. Did you tell the police that it was your idea to send them to her?? No, I didn't think so. Honesty runs deeply in our family and now she has to worry about the things that you lied to the police about. I bet you said she begged you to send them. I know she did not. Like I said I stay under her tail at all times. I love my mother dearly. You will have so many problems for what you put my mother through. And Angel, you think you have been weeping, you should see my mothers eyes, they are swollen shut, so shut that she can't even see out of them and is still crying. I always believe what goes around comes around.

I have the evidence, you can read it on this blog, where your mother asked for drugs.

I REFUSED.

I WILL ALSO SEND YOU THE EMAIL WHERE SHE ASKED , no BEGGED ME FOR MONEY.

I SENT YOUR MOTHER MONEY THE FIRST TIME.

SHE TOLD SOMEONE SHE BOUGHT HEROINE WITH IT.

I LOVED NANNA. BUT NOT THE ADDICT.
ADDICTS LIE.

I have your Mom's picture on my dresser. I sent her money and listened to her. She was miserable. I knew all about her troubles, past and present. I still loved and helped her.
When people try to take their own life, it is easier to look for a scape goat. Why did your mother fixate on me? That would be a good starting question.

I have voice messages daily where Nanna goes on and on about how much she loves me and I am her only friend.

Listen.

I am a virtual person on a blog. I believe, I say this with respect, that Nanna was depressed, lonely and unbalanced.

I tried to pull away gently from her. I was about to file a restraining order on her. She called daily. I have proof.

Today, after these threats, I am obtaining counsel and calling in the police.

I have had enough. This is what I get for my generosity?

Now I am mad.

Angel, who is writing under "your worst nightmare". I have copyed every post on this site for safety reasons. and please start with post 1053, then read 1057, 1063, and 1066. I think you are mistaken. My mother did not ask for anything on this site and I checked her phone. she was called by you three times, and she called you three times and that is all. If this warrents a harrassment charge, then the police down here think not. We even have the conversation recorded, and in no way was she even ugly with you. I think it's time to be honest with all. Even yourself. I'm not trying to be ugly but I am trying to protect my mother that was accussed of something she did not do. I'm sorry you took it wrong.
