   What did I do wrong? (Addiction & Recovery board)

8th July 2008
Hi Adventurer - I'm not sure if because its only been 2 weeks if it will be any easier, as everyones body is different. You are on an awful lot of pills though, More than I think you said in your first post. (I went and found it) I know what its like not to be responded to, too. At first, My doc told me to try and ween. I tried, didn't work. Mostly because, the pills were THERE. If they are there, you will take them. And yes, you will probably end up addicted again after your surgery.

I'm on an outpatient suboxone program now, to detox from Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, what have you. What my Doc has told me, is, if I need surgery or break my leg, I can go back on these pills. But after, I must return to the suboxone program. Even after I get off the suboxone program, if in 5 years I break something, I will take the percs, then go on suboxone for a short time so as not to begin an addiction again.

No one should have to be in pain, just because they are addicted. Just be honest wi. your docs, or find an addiction doc, they can start you, and help you with the surgery and aftercare.

So try and ween, if it doesn't work, tell your doc, or find an addiction doc, or suboxone doctor. You can have surgery, and be an pain killer addict, and be treated for pain. Its just a little tricky. Perhaps thats why no answers. But it can be done!! Hope this helps a little - sherbear38
