Here is my story, I will try to provide a short synopsis. My goal is to get some good advice and answers to questions. I plan to detox in the coming days and I am not sure what path I want to take. Anyhow, 6 months ago I had developed an upper right quadrant abdominal pain. I was being seen at the mayo clinic in jacksonville for diagnosis. Around Christmas I received a small script of tramadol from my local dr. which worked, when it ran out the pain came back. While waiting for the Dr.s at Mayo to come through with a script I came across a local source for opana IR 10 mgs. I took the whole pill and it worked perfectly. So I decided I would use these until the script for tramadol came through. I also realized that by crushing the opana and snorting them that I could get more use out of them, so that's what I began to do. Fast forward 5 weeks and my tramadol has come through. When I tried to quit the opana I started to get sick and realized that I would be facing a detox period. So not I am a bit freaked out and has explored a ton of options but am not sure what to do. There is a rehab facility in Florida that is willing to take me. The folks seem to be a bit pushy and there are a ton of bad reviews. Also the fact that I will be sharing a room and a toilet with someone else has some logistical concerns that I am not sure will be very comforting. The one thing that appeals to me by going to a facility is that they can provide some medical service to help with the detox symptoms that I could not get over the counter. I have a bottle of lorazapam for sleep and 180 tablets of tramadol and 20 of the opana left. I am considering developing an at home plan as I have the next 12 days off of work. I have read a ton of stuff, such as the use of Imodium and many other supplements. I don't believe I need support for substance abuse, just help detoxing and getting down to the use of the tramadol as prescribed. I have also heard of these detox kits. I want to call my Dr. tomorrow to see what he says, as I would much rather do this detox at home and given what I have and what I can get over the counter want to come up with a plan for the detox. I understand that its not allowed to provide medical advice here, however if anyone has any insight that would be very helpful. I want to switch from snorting to taking the opana orally but don't know what the conversion will be if there is one. I just need to get off this stuff so I can get down to my original tramadol dose for the pain. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
