Fentanyl Withdrawal Symptoms (Page 61) (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.

My mother has never done Herion in her life. Never. You are so mistaken and I don't know who you are listening to but she has never told anyone that either. You can't even get herion in this little town that we live in. I think you have her mixed up with someone else.

I do know all the illegal drugs that she has done and it was over 15 years ago. One was crack, but nothing else that was illegal. She has tried all the things that the doctors have given her and a long time ago she did abuse some of these. But she does not abuse them now because I hold them and I am a nurse at the hospital. I despense them out as she needs them and not before. So I know that she does not do anything she is not suppose to do. And Angel, with the family that I have, you do not scare me. i'M VERY PROTECTIVE OF MY MOTHER.

I have my lawyer, Mr Ryan Harrington. Both he and the officer I just logged the story with say my only culpability would lie in if I knew one fact. I did not.

This is farce.
I will have changed my phone number and email address after this post.

Should you, your mother or anyone contact me, I will consider it harassment from this point onward.

Well, I guess I made someone one feel guilty. Mom gets to come home tomorrow and I will be so glad. If you are a praying person, please pray for her. She was not depressed, just upset and tore out of her frame by someone that she put her trust in. I warned her about the people out in the world that would make her feel like she was a piece of trash but she seemed to love this person so much and thought the world of them. She would go on and on about this person and how much she thought of them. How they made her feel so worthy. I am sorry about the past post that I posted, but I was very concerened about the welfer of my mom. Mom is a wonderful person now since she got her act together 15 or so years ago and I'm so happy to have her back. I love my mother so much. And, to the lady that her husband had a heart attact, I'm so very soory and pray that he gets well.

This needs to STOP NOW! I'm not going to accuse anyone and I don't want anyone admitting anything online, but I warned of this before. We are all hurting and going through personal trials, but we CANNOT help each other with medication that is the pain management doctors job. I know how horrible withdrawal feels, I have gone to the ER for help before. This group and this website is here for support when we are down and at our lowest in life, and I feel we do a good job of talking to each other, praying, and letting each other know we are thinking about them. This is all we need to do for each other, we cannot interfere in any other way! The police are probably monitoring this site already, and if this site goes down many of us cannot stay in contact with each other. I have enjoyed everybody's thoughts, concerns, and wisdom when I am down. I do not want to see this website shut down, I would miss all of you guys. Angel, I am sorry to hear about what your going through, I am thinking about you, and wish you well. Nanny, get well soon, I am sorry to hear about everything. To all the rest of us, stay focused, better days are ahead, they have to be (at least that is what I keep telling myself).

Weeler, I so agree with you,, it's sad when one person starts something and it snowballs .. I only come on to just make comments and try to give advise if someone asks.. We all are trying to deal with the pain from our injuries or disabilities.. Would be sad to see this site go down, but nothing would surprise me, hope everyone tries to have a good holiday

I would first like to say that I feel so bad for both women (Nuttynanny and Angel) involved in the fiasco. What does not make sense to me is One saying she would never mean she was speaking about Nanny and comes back with (Your Worst Nightmare) as her username instead of apologizing, but as she has stated on numerous occasions she has risen through politics and we all know those in politics never lie. Seems to me Nuttynanny really misjudged who she thought her friend was. I do remember reading all the posts and Nanny admitting her past, although most would not do so in those circumstances for fear of judgement, so I must commend her for that. At the same time addiction is a very tricky situation wether in sobriety or not, especially when true pain is constantly beckoning your name. You never REALLY know what you would do in someone else's shoes unless you have been there before, and even then we r all still so different from one another with morals and values GOD given or taught by parents or learned on one's own. Only God has the right to judge anyone so let's leave that to Him. Besides, He's the ONLY One Who really knows our hearts and minds.

With that being said it really saddens me to think Nanny would end her life over a person who is obviously struggling with her own problems. She has yet to come out and apologize to the group the way an adult would when they have wronged someone, either intentional or not. I have seen too much back pedaling but no apologies. The cover is clearly blown and Angel, although I have always enjoyed your posts I am really sad you have not stepped up. Both you and Nanny are at fault. One- you offered and told her how to get by the moderator to put in her address. Two- you sent the package- a felony I might add. Three- pushing all the blame onto Nanny only after being called it by Nanny's daughter. R u a Christian? I had thought from previous posts u r? Just search you heart and seek God's will on this one. It will not be easy but I know God will help both of you through it.

To Nanny's daughter,
I am so glad to hear she will be ok. I was so worried. I wish I could speak to he myself and I barely know her, only by reading these post. Is it ok to send a get well card or one of encouragement? Is she a Christian? It's ok either way. Please keep us informed on how she is doing and to keep the faith. I will be praying for her.

And as far as culpability goes, Angel you r there smack dab in the middle. It's illegal to give th away to anyone and you know that. It's in every patient pain management contract.

Nurse Audrey- I so agree with what you wrote,, I thought that name she took was awful and I thought she wasn't going to come back on this site.. It's also sad that she probably got caught and didn't realize that nanny daughter knew that she got the meds, so of course she is trying to point fingers at nanny..People sometimes get fooled with somone saying they care when in fact they are just needy and looking for somone who is vulnerable.. I hope nanny will be ok, and Angel should try and realize that the cat is out of the bag..yes sending Fentanyl which is a powerful drug should never be given to anyone unless your pain dr, has given you a script, certainly not given to somone else.. Her stating her lawyers name really didnt do much other than trying to scare .. I hope all this stops.. This is a Lesson for everyone on here unless you really know somone do not trust just anybody.. We are here for suggestions how to deal with our pain,, leave the soap opera for TV..

I said I would not come back on this site, but I had to come and say that I am sorry for what my daughter said and did. She was only thinking of me and what danger that I did to myself. I will be ok and I am going to a doctor for my mental help. I was accused of something I did not do and I only thought that I was doing right. I guess you live and learn by all means the hard way. I do not do any illegal drugs and have never ever done herion(I don't even know how to spell it). I don't even think you can even get that in this one horse town. I know I never told anyone that I bought it. I would be so scared to even try to buy anything for fear of being caught. I don't think I have ever asked for anything as far as I can remember. I have one friend that lives around me and its a sister of a very dear friend that died of cancer August before last. She was my only and very dear friend that I have known since our daughters were about six years old. I don't have any other friends because of the things I had done years ago and very fearful of them even having something that would harm me in some sort of way. I am so very sorry that I took what one person said and let it effect me in the way that it did. I am not depressed, nor am I a hateful person. I love everyone, even my enimies. Yes, I am a Christian, a new one, because I was saved about 8 years ago and was baptisized with my grandson on the same day. I have beautiful pictures of us having this done. I will go to Heaven. But, I know that if I had proceeded with what I tried to do I would not. I would be living in sheer torment for the duration of time in hell. I just want everyone to know that I am very sorry for the things that my daughter said. She was wrong for coming on here in the first place. She is a nurse and knows better then to judge, she was just worried about her mother. I just want to apologize to everyone, even Angel, whom I love with all my heart. I am so very sorry to eveyone and I hope and pray that Angels husband does better. She is a very beautiful person.

I need to apologize to the whole group and also for my daughter. I am ok. I am not and have not been depressed in any way. I just was hurt. and sad. But I do owe everyone an apology from the deepest part of my heart. I even owe an apology to Angel. I love her so much and just adore her, no matter what she has done or said. That is also in the past. And that is were it needs to stay. I am deeply sorry for all that has been said and done. I am at fault and I take the blame for what has been done. I love everyone on this site and hope the best for them. I wish there was a way to convey this face to face to show just how much I mean this. I am truely so very sorry. My daughter is a nurse and she was just so worried about me because I promised her years ago that I would never under any guise, try to take my life again. That I would always come to her if I even felt the tinest urge. She knew when I was crying so hard and could not catch my breath that something was wrong and I thought she was not watching me, so I tried. But I failed. My God knows my heart and my soul and He knows what is good for me weither I want it or not He was determinded that I was going to live. My duty on earth is not through. I am truely sorry for what harm I have caused on this site and to the ones that come to read. Please forgive me for what I have done and said. I do owe Angel one to but I guess that will never be able to be told to her. I love her so much. She was a God to my eyes, in a sense.

Dear all,
I had a private text conversation with Nanna last night.
For the sake of the honesty, you feel I so lack, here is the last two texts sent. The first is mine. The last, Nanna's. You tell me if I am being scammed:

You are right I should have trusted. When you are raised in an alcoholic house you have trust issues all your life. I have worked in therapy evert other week all my life on this.
I am sorry, Nanna.


It is ok i knew you were not going to send me that gift i expected and have accepted it so i will just hide in my room christmas day and them it will be over


You see Nanna asked, no "expected" my money now. And this whole thing, which could even have been written the entire time by Nanna herself, was all about extorting money from me.

I did not make up that phone conversation. In fact, on a later post, if there is disbelief; I will take a picture of that text using my husbands phone and post it here

I was used.
We were used.
My love and foregivness are Nanna's. We are all one on this earth waiting our time before eternal life.
Angel

This does not even warrent a response from me about the text messages that were texted. Of course the whole conversation was not explained. And I don't owe anyone any explanations. That being said, I did say I was sorry for what I have caused and said to all and also what was said from my daughter. I also have copies of the text that was texted and Angel, you are the one that text me first. I don't know what your intentions are but I am through with this. You asked me why my heart was broken and I was just explaining what had happened. This is so childish and I'm not a child. So this is enough of this mess. We all have left some things out that was said. I told you I was sorry about what was said. That should be enough. My God knows what happened and what all was said and I leave it up to Him to take care of my part. I'm through with the crying over someone that I thought cared, but I guess the texting me to get me to say something like this was what you needed to satisfy your mind into thinking that I was scamming you. I was not in any way doing that. As I recall, you are the one that called me first asking if you could send me a gift, as you called it "from the heart". I told you not to do this because I could never ever be able to pay it back. You are the one that insisted. I asked you twice not to do this. Please let this go. It is over with. I still love you with all my heart and care that you are going through the things that you are going through, and hope for the best for you. I will continue to pray for you that you will not suffer with the illness that you told me about last night. And I will pray for your family, and what is going on with your husband. You are a kind and beautiful person and I hate that this has gone on so long. But we are not children so please just let it go.Everyone on this blog knows that I have never asked anyone to do anything for me except pray for me. That is all I have ever asked. And there is one thing that I don't do and that is lie. I just can't lie about anything. What was said was the truth. Anyone can ask me anything and I will tell you the truth about everything you need to know about me. I have told my story on this site several times because I felt that the people that I was talking to had the right to know what I have done. But, I am proud of what I have done in the past 15 years, because it was not an easy thing for me to do. Every September and October, I have issues still to this day about the rapes that happened in them months, but I am proud to say that I don't use drugs to hide the feelings that I go through anymore. I fight back now with meetings at rape centers and try to help others that has been through this and this has helped me to understand that it was not my fault. I blamed myself for so many years. But everything is in the past from this day forward and it is over with. I will not lower my standards to yours. I will not accuse you of anything else. I am through.....with it all. And I will not be ugly, that is just not me......I am so sorry that you are still having an issue with this. I still love you with all my heart. And never will I do any harm to you or anyone else. I love everyone, My God told me to love you....

Lilred4, I have decided to do just that. I will not let someone run me away from something that has held me together at so many times in my life. And I have been posting for so much longer. I hate that someone would have to go the length that they did just to get a part of a conversation that they need to justify their feelings. I feel sorry for someone like that. I want to just let things go, and if she feels the way she does, then I can not help it. There is nothing else I can do.
We had a great dinner at Church tonight and a wonderful message. It was about stress and the things that stress can make you do, how it effects your health, your life and your family life. Then I had a wonderful talk with my pastor, who has helped me through some hard times because he use to be a drug addict himself. He is a wonderful pastor and knows the Bible front and back and gave me a lot of scriptures to read to help me to forgive, myself and others. I have a lot of forgiving to do for the things that my Lord has forgave me for years ago, but just can't forgive myself. This is something that has to be learned and the guilt that goes along with the lack of forgiveness. I also got a call from a lady that runs a rehab center and she ask me to come tell my testimony and the things that I have been through. I don't know if I can do this because I'm not a good speaker. I can write it down and read it but to just get up and tell it would have me shaking in my boots. She was my counselor when I first got clean and has been my sponser at my meetings. I am so nervous about this but I think I can do it.
Well, I have not had much sleep the last few days but after hitting that alter tonight I think I can sleep a week. Thank you Lord for the uplifting that you gave me tonight, and the peace of mind that I got by calling out to you in my time of need. Hope everyone has a good night and a very good day tomorrow. God Bless everyone...

Those are the exact symptoms I had from withdrawal also. The constant writhing, rocking, severe muscle aches, headaches and nausea. I tried cold turkey, and even with the help of Xanax I was in complete total misery. This went on for 5 days. God bless you.

Good morning everyone... I felt so good when I got up this morn that I fixed gravy and homemade busquits, sliced some good ripe tomatoes, and fried up some link sausages. This got my grand babies out of the bed fast and my mom even got up before time for her to get up. I am stuffed and think after I clean up the kitchen, I will lay back down. No, don't think I will. I have to much to do today. I got a big surprize yesterday in the mail and now all will be good. Today is the beginning of a new day, the past is the past. Everyone have a great day today, stay safe and I love everyone....

Lilred4 and NurseAndrea,

Lil, do you remember me asking if there was anything I could do during Sandy to help you? I said could I go to my town mayor and see if I could motivate my city to help yours?
Daily, I asked about you.

And Nurse, our vicarious member, I took what you said to heart. I only contacted Nanna Nutty to say, I was sorry.

You all here have read my posts for nine months now.

I ask you only one thing: go back and read what I wrote.

Then ask yourself, really: why would I make this up?

I have a full and happy life. I believe that God sends us places for a reason. I loved the daily, calm sharing we all did here. I felt blessed to have found such warm virtual friends who all were in pain but found so many ways to cope. I admired your courage and it helped me get through tough days.

You will notice some people have been absent. We were thinking of starting a support blog which would be very private.

Ladies and Gentlemen, having read the privacy policy of rxchat.com, I do not believe anybody has read, has reported, or will respond to any of the posts of the last few weeks. They state that they have a hands-offs policy.

I think we all realize that is they were reading or if they were going to respond, they certainly would have done so by now.

Months ago when someone came on the blog and was disrespectful, I reported it as "ABUSE". I never heard one word back.

My dispute on this site was with Nanna. I posted what I did as a warning to MY OTHER FRIENDS HERE

I believe in unconditional foregiveness. If you felt you needed to denigrate me to help Nanna, I understand and might have done the same.

For this whole thing, I apologize sincerely to every reader for the part I played. I did it, as I try to live my life, with unconditional love and in the spirit of trying to help all people in my life.

Hugs,
Angel

PS Please, Everyone, have as Pain-free a Holiday Season as possible.

Lilred4, how are you? I'm with you on the asking, glad you didn't. One thing I do want to say that the word "I'm Sorry" were never in the texts in a sense to what she had done to me.
But like I said I am through with this.
@ Shannon, why would you go and tell Angel something about me buying herion with the patches that she sent me? Esp. since I have not talked to you in like 8 or 9 months. I just don't think you did this, but want you to know your name is being used. Please watch who you are dealing with.
@ Everyone else, I hope all this is over with and we can get back to talking about our pain and withdrawals. How we can help each other out (with words only) by telling what helps with each other. Some work for some and then it don't help with others. So we can try to help all. I think my port is infected again. I started running 104.9% temp last night and shaking so hard. Mom tried to get me to go to the er but I just took some antibiotics and some tylenol and my fever came down to 102% and I quite shaking so bad. Then I went off to sleep and slept till 7am this morn, without having to take anything for sleep. Thank you God for your help. It hasn't started again this morning but I do have to watch the patches when I run a temp that high, it will make all the meds come out faster and might make me overdose. I guess I need to call the doctor and ask what to do if it happens again. just take it off untill my fever goes back down???? Then put it back on?? Does anyone know what I should do in this situation??
