You could also try methadone for a period of time as it will make you feel better and it's a bit stronger than morphine. You don't get high, but it helps you achieve your goals.
Stopped benzos 2 days ago. Was on them two weeks during this last drop. Well today was rebound day. Felt like crap all day. On the bright side... Applied for a spine simulator study. Crossing my fingers....

Which benzos were you using, and about how much? If it was just for two weeks, I can't imagine you'll have to get through much WD from them. At least I hope not
Part of me would love to try Methadone... What scares me the most is getting burned on pain management again. This is the the third time for me on opiates. Had my vicodin cut off when a doc burned me. 3 months to get a next appt. Got burned on oxy and now morphine.
The state of our country when it comes to health care is an absolute mess. VA turned me down 7 months ago. Medicaid is going to get hammered. Insurance is skyrocketing. Im just a mid 50's disabled dude trying to weather the storm. I consider myself lucky though... great wife, home and I can still do IT/IS consulting jobs. Many folks out there are in much worse situations.
