Hi Jody..I am not a doctor, so all I can do is give you my opinion and my experiance in what you are going through.This is only my opinion, but why does your doctor have you on 4MG of xanax a day for? Is it because you told him what happens when you start going through Withdrawls? I am on xanax, but only when I need one for a panic attack, so i dont take them everyday, but the withdrawls are horrible (From what people have told me) Your doctor is right about not getting off of the opiates cold turkey. May I ask what condition you take them for? I am only asking because if you need them for chronic pain, then you do need them, but if he is just giving them to you because he is afraid to take you off of them, FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR.. I mean he is giving you the fenyatal patch, diladid x4, vicodin and xanax?? Again, I am not a docto, but it looks like he is overmedicating you, and all of the opiates plus the xanax can be toxic. You mentioned a drug that starts with an S, I think you are asking about suboxone. Suboxone is a drug that are used for medical maintenance or detox, however it is not a very good painkiller. I just want to share with you that I am a chronic pain sufferer who has been on opiates for 36 years. I became addicted to the medication, I am now 54 years old and I know that I would die if I were to detox. It started many years ago with a capsule called synalgos DC, and I ended up with a needle in my arm because it became too hard and expensive to keep finding new doctors and buying new perscriptions. I am not saying that you will end up like me, I am just sharing what happpened to me. Jody,you have to talk to your doctor and tell him what you wrote here. I finally couldnt live with what I was doing and I entered a methadone maintenance program..I have been clean (No more opiate abuse) for a long time. If you want off of these painkillers, you have choices to make. You can enter a drug rehab, go on suboxone, or go on methadone.. I have tried the rehabs and the 12 steps and they didnt work for me.I tried suboxone, and it didnt work, so after many months of weighing my options, I decided methadone. Methadone saved my life.I have been right where you are at, so I understand,,You can even tell your doctor that you want to be prescribed methadone for pain, you dont have to go to a methadone clinic. If you ever want a sounding board please let me know, ok? Again, I am not telling you what you should do, I am only telling you what I went through. The only thing I know for sure is you need a doctor who will listen to you.... I hope I helped you just a little

Your reaction sounds almost like an overdose of meds. Talk to your doctor about the possibility. Perhaps you need to be in the hospital for this. I know it's expensive, but we are talking about your life here. If all you can afford to pay on your bill is $10 a month, so be it.

Were you referring to the medication Suboxone? It is commonly used to treat drug addiction, or to wean people off of other medications.

It contains Buprenorphine, and Naloxone, the FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects such as nausea, headache, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

How are you doing, Jody? Has there been any change?
