Yes, my husband knows, and has them around, but he is not an addict, so he doesn't understand why I can't taper or just stop.
I had a major surgery 3 years ago with a very long and painful recovery, had just had a baby and was very depressed. That's how it started.
It's not just the dry heaves, I could deal with that, but it's pain, like actually having labor pains in my stomach. I barely made it through hours, much less trying to go through it for a week. At the ER, they gave me phenergan in the ambulance-nothing, then morphine, nothing, them more phenergan and morphine-nada, then some other anti nausea drug-nothing, then benadryl and compazine-nothing stopped it. Finally they came in and gave me stadol and it took it away. I stayed in the hospital for 3 days following up with phenergan and morphine. Of course I didn't tell them what my problem was.
Do you think this will happen everytime I try to detox? The first time I was throwing up for a day, but no cramping. The second time I didn't even get sick, just the usual leg aches, and leg and arm thrashing, the fatigue, irritability, blurred vision, insomnia, racing thoughts, etc, but this is the first time I've ever gotten this sick.
I don't have insurance and don't know what to do. I'm sorry this is so long. But I'm scared to death, and I don't have anyone to help me with the kids. I know if I could just get away for at least three days I could make it. I want to be free so bad.
Thanks for listening.
