Withdrawals From Soma, Morphine, Xanax, Oxycodone - Help Please (Page 6) (Top voted first)

I have been in pain management for years, lost my doctor along with other patients, and primary won't fill or says she can't and messes up my progress to get in new pain management in time. Now I'm losing Soma, was 3 times a day, now I have 7 tabs left. Was on 45 mg of morphine 3 times, oxycodone 15s and xanax 5 mg 3 times a day. Which she said she can not write for. Why, if she knew or thought this pain clinic was prescribing more than standard, did she never say a word until i had to go to her in desperation for this? Your primary that has to refer you and get info to get into a new pain clinic, I have very serious health issues no one is dealing with, I feel alone and suicidal. I even told my doctor and the old pain clinic staff that left, and not a bit of help, yet they know i have a history of heart failure, bleeds in brain from pain issues. No one cares, our country is falling apart and i asked again today for something for bp and high pulse, got nothing for it but a nurse, they did not send in the info two times that could have had me in pain management by now, and in having the colostomy i had to postpone since I wont do it with out pain mgmt on board.

Today they cut me back more 1 soma for a few days then no more, oxycodone 10mg 3 times to be cut on mon again and morphine cut from 45 3 x to 3o 2 times. All i can do is cry and sleep then cry more then no food, not drinking, feel horrible, and have lost desire to live and fight. These doctors put all on others and not one seems to care or no what to do with all of us real pain patients. I just want to die at this point for i am so tired of suffering and its only going to get worse. I feel so bad for all of the posts i have seen and know im not alone. All i see is the same four walls every day, go no where and before i felt i had some reason to fight and live to fight cancer and even cancer doc can not help get you in pain mang. They said today it will take at least 8 weeks to get in and ill be dead then or out of meds in a stroke etc. That is my biggest fear. Have had 3 bleeds in brain from this and pain is no joke.

The nurse said today we all are paying for those that dr shop and are addicted and i said i thought even addiction is a matter that needs treatment. They counted my tabs. I take drugs panels, did nothing wrong and most of my pain is caused from docs that did botched surgeries and cancer and injury from accident. I dont no what we all can do or if there is hope but it does not do good to ask on this site if someone knows where to get meds. Its not just docs its insurances companies and pharmacies. It's all getting way too much and hard for even a well person to figure out. I am ready to go home to my maker and wish he would take me soon. I am so tired of the lack of proper dr care in our country and its so sad i feel and pray for you all i want to know who is going to be responsible when i die or end up in a stroke due to this. Xanax withdrawals will be the worst too for i had them before for you can not sleep to escape the torture and they only get worse with time unlike opiates most docs dont seem to know this. I guess i have heart rate of 139 now and bp 200 over 133.

BL: For some reason, they edited my response. I was saying that my Methadone for a month costs about the same as street drugs would cost for about 3-4 days worth. Not sure why that was a problem for the Admins, but whatever. ??

I bought from mood and mind, and coastal Kratom. There are many reputable online shops now. Buying at "head shops" I imagine could be very expensive. I only can afford a little at a time......this last time I did mood and mind, got about 10 days worth. 50 dollars. They also gave a free sample....how nice!

I don't think I ever suggested any prescription drugs to take at all. I suggested a non prescription natural and legal herb. I also strongly advised doing what I did, and Google it for yourself , there is tons of ways to educate yourself on a subject using the internet...it's true you can get some bad info with the good, so read from several sources...but Kratom for withdrawals is the only thing I mentioned. Maybe you confused my post with someine else's,?

FIBRO: I would stock up on the Kratom while you can. There is actually a consensus that it should be banned FEDERALLY. So it wouldn't matter what state you are in. Just sayin...

My MD said the same thing about dea crack downs. I never abused pain meds to get high, only to cope with pain from multiple diseases. What do we do now? Pain clinics are closing in my area.

MRJ,
So this is true? No benzo's with opiates, this is a joke, my doctor who writes for my Valium told me this was coming. What in the heck are all of us going to do? I also never had problems being on the combo of benzo's this is just so frustrating and not fair, none of us have quality of life. Something has got to be done .

Thank Haslam and Obama. They are the ones that's behind all this. I hope the ones that helped get these laws passed suffer 10 fold what we are and can't get a Tylenol to their mouths. Karma comes to all.

Dale,
My doctor who prescribes my benzo's told me about this news coming from the FDA and DEA, So this is true and it is going to affect all of us.

Sounds horrible what you are going through. If worse comes to worse you could always check into a recovery clinic. Even though I know you aren't an addict. But they will help with withdrawals. Not the best option but it's an option. Good luck. God bless

I know this is not the answer but it will help tremendously. Loperamide and L Tyrosine will help with withdrawal. Almost to the point that you will be amazed. I ran out out of meds
A few moths back after taking hydrocodone for over 9 years. A friend told me about this so I figured what the hell. Withdrawal scares the hell outta me. This worked so good! You do have to take alot of the loperamide but it was well with it. Try it I'm 100% sure it will help.

True cause the docs make their money four different places the pain docs so they don't card how they leave patients that really need them cause they go somewhere else and start another pain ct up closer to where they live plus keep the others it shouldn't be right to cut ppl off meds and shut the doors.

And now as of Sept 30th...the DEA has BANNED kratom. The FIRST all natural pain relieving, withdrawal symptoms relieving, herb out there. Seriously want to cry!! Why?! Methadone, suboxone, all legal, highly addictive...CHEMICALS. But without further study....BANNED it!!! I ordered a small supply. All I can afford... and hope I'll be weaned off oxy. totally before it's gone. 14 deaths "kratom related", meaning it was combined with something else and made toxic....this in 2 YEARS time. Yet legal OPIATES 78 o.d. a day, that's per DAY. 7 per year VS 78 a day. Watch what's going to happen when all the people using Kratom legally can no longer get it, people recovering from opioid / opiate addiction using kratom instead.....it literally makes me sick to my stomach.....the DEADLINE is totally wrong, just wrong.

I have Lupus SLE, Sjogrens, Fibro- 24 hr pain - flares are a killer. Opana goes up to 40 I believe! Ihighly Recommend!! May the LORDGuide and direct you all and if you don't know Jesus call out to Him bc His Redemption is ANY DAY NOW My Friends!!! Much Love and Blessings in Christ Jesus!!

JAY4REAL: Valium and Alprazolam aren't narcotics. And I know what you are saying about veterinarians, but dogs aren't trying to fool doctors into giving them meds.

wtarin1, each individual dr prescribes the way they decide is best for their patient, Just because your previous dr prescribed you certain meds does not mean that another dr will. If you go into a new dr expecting them to prescribe the same meds and you ask for the same thing, you will be labeled a drug seeker.

I had even a worse effect. I was having horrible muscle spasm so I took one pill and 1 glass of wine then took another 2 hours later. I had never been on them before. My Mom tried to call me and when she could not get a hold of me she came over because she felt something was wrong. She found me having a seizure and was on a ventilator for 2 days. That was the last time I took Soma and the last I drank alcohol when on ANY meds. But just because I had that effect does not mean no one should be able to get it. It just needs to monitored because as you found out it can be easily abused.

Hi Pat,
I sincerely sympathize with the agony you are experiencing. But please see a doctor immediately to get your blood pressure and heart rate under control. Uncontrolled high blood pressure is the single greatest cause of strokes and heart attacks. According to what you've written, you are in a hypertensive crises! Go to an emergency room if you can't get to a doctor. Your numbers must be brought down immediately. We care about you!

Swim feel everyone's pain as swim has been down this road a few times over 3 decades of surgeries, but WE ALL have to have some accountability on this issue as well!

Swim loves to feel good too, but many are not taking the meds as prescribed or take them too long without questioning the doctor.

Personal experience has led me to believe it's better to ask your doctor to taper you down before it's too late. Good luck all!!

As others have mentioned, Medicinal cannabis has helped swim quite a bit in the pain management department and was a huge benefit when swim was tapering off high doses of oxycontin & percocett.
