Hi everyone, I don't know where to begin but I will be brief because I am so achey and restless I cannot sit here long!
SO you guessed it, I am in WD. I took my last 45mg of vicodan Monday night...but was up to 50-80mg a day for the last few weeks. Prior to that I was on 5 7.5mg a day since August...I just needed more for my chronic pain (female) soooooooooo..here I am....I have until Sunday to get this to a tolerable thing...I have been off from work since Tues. so it is about 80 hours since the last dose. I am on .1mg clonidine from my MD (who knows all about this and supports what I am doing), Atarax for sleep and anxiety (if I take it during day I cannot stay awake, I am on Wellbutrin for depression and Klonopin .5mg 3 times a day for anxiety that I DO NOT ABUSE. I didn't think I was abusing the Vicodan until recently....I just couldn't stand the feeling when I would decrease...my pain seemed to be worse...which it is horrible now. (female pain). I am on a multivit. fish oil, Lethicin, milk thistle (to detox my liver from all that tylenol in the vicodan)...but I am getting concerned I won't be able to function when my kids return to me Sunday..yup very blessed he has them until then for me to recover from a "surgery".
I hate this whole thing, but I know it is not something to be loved.
anyone have any suggestions beyond what I am doing? The hot baths are now irritating my skin, I cannot drive to therapy..(mental) today because of this and that I feel I need the most...along with God!:confused: :confused: Thanks to anyone who can offer anything...
