Please Help: Need Answers To Get Off Dilaudid (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I have been taking 3 to 4 8mg (24-32mgs) Dilaudid pills at 1 time usually around 3:00pm everyday for about 2 1/2 years now for back and nerve damage and would like to know the best way, medication, and dosage to get off this drug, also how long and how bad I will feel detoxing. The only time I have energy and feel good is the 2 or 3 hours after taking the drugs. Every muscle and bone in my body aches like I have a severe case of arthritis , i'm sleepy-but can't sleep an entire night, get a runny nose, yawn constantly and tired. I just want to feel normal again. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 50

I also have a rare condition. I have holes in my kidneys and pass 15- 20 kidney stones a month. I have been on pain meds 10 years. started with vicodin then percs then blues that I could never fill cause they were nowhere to be found. So they switched me to the Ds and methadone then switched the methadone because oh you can definately find the Ds and added nucynta because I could get those also. I have had my scripts for 2 weeks because now noone has the Ds and I have yet to even try the nucynta because the scripts have to stay together. I am not only dying from the kidney stone pain but also from the withdraws of not having my meds unless i get from friends. I am dying here, I don't have a clue what to do and why this is happening to me.

try getting off suboxone, it's just as bad as heroin when it comes to W/D.

Go to the doctor and get some med's from him, it will help.
colonidin, and get some sleeping pills ambiem, will help. it will suck, but you can do it. and you will be taking a 65 pound dump, that will kill you butt. and your going to want to rip off your skin. get the sleeping pills, it's the most important thing you can do. And a hot bath helps to. i just found out i have hep-c and a Bicuspid Aortic Valve that i need replaced in my heart, today from the doctor. and i have only did iv drugs for two weeks. it's been a bad day for me. I hope tomorrow is better.

I'm curious as what you are doing at present time. It's difficult cause if you are in pain that's no way to live either. I been on methadone for 10 years. My dose is 36 from 100. Hoping to be free of it one day. But I have not felt any pain like in the past after back surgery. If I have pain then I think I'll just stay on it cause I hate pain....

Suboxin is now available at your local MD's office. It is Buphenorphine, which is both an agonist, and it contains Naltrexone, which is an antagonist. It's not like a methadone maintenance clinic, but rathe you are "induced" at a certified MD who does this and gradyally you taper off. NO WITHDRAWL EFFECTS AND NO WAY TO CHEAT.

I am 25 years old and have been on just about every pain med known to man due to having an extreamly rare joint disease called synovial chondromatosis. I have had more surgeries than I can count on my knees since I was 9 and have been on the pain meds since I was 9 as well. I was taking 16-20 of the 8mg dilaudids per day, then my doctor was audited by the DEA and everyones meds got cut by a lot. I was then only given 8 of the 4mg dilaudids per day. I was one sick puppy for a very long time. After I adjusted to that huge change the same thing happened to my new doctor and i was cut again. This time all the way down to 2 of the 2mg dilaudids per day. Needless to say I'm one very sick little lady. Withdrawl is very painful and very miserable. Keep in mind I inject them due to the fact that taking them for so long has given me very bad ulcers from my throat all the way to my rectum. (asshole to appetite figurativly speaking) and I can not hold them down and immediatly begin to vomit blood. I have been doing what I have to do to not be in such bad pain and be able to function within reason, and if that means buying what I need off of the street after my script runs out which don't take very long when you are used to taking as much as I was, then that's what has to happen. I have been on methadone before and the withdrawl coming off of it is the worst feeling ever and ten times harder than any other narcotic opioid. I want to find a way to get off of this stuff before it kills me or I end up on dialysis because those types of meds kill your liver and kidneys. But I don't know how I am gona manage the pain. I have to have yet another surgerie in a couple of weeks. With all of that bing said, there is no cure for the synovial chondromatosis and prolly will not ever be a cure. There is less than 5000 cases in the entire world and only 3 are in women. Yay me lucky number 3. The dose that I am on now is not doing anything for me. What am I gona do with 2 2mg pills a day when I am used to atleast 8 4mg pills a day? Any ideas or am I just stuck taking them forever? The pain is just unreal. Without them I can't even stand up on my own mustless walk or do anything else. HELP ME!!! I need ideas on how to manage this and eventualy get off of the dialudids. I am allergic to tylenol and lortab (vicoden) for those who don't know that

to be honest, i am 4 years clean from herion and methadone. I recently had my first rib on the right side removed and have been on dilaudid for 7 months. i take 2mgs every 12 hours, and am moving to one mg once a day. if you do it slowly you'll be okay after you body adjusts (roughly 3-5 days). if you can help it DO NOT go on methadone. i was on that 4 years ago, and quit cold turkey. i was sick with withdrawal for 8 months. not worth it AT ALL. if you eat well and keep hydrated and positive (and actually want it, and have the drive to stick with it) anything is possible. even if you are just physically addicted, talking to people help. physical addiction and mental addiction are a thin line. good luck

Don't tell ppl they can't do something because you couldn't. Your weak sorry ass person for telling folks they can't do things by them selves. Your a sucker! Keep your answers and respones unbiased.
