Hi first time poster,long time lurker. I was having too much trouble making this post on my phone so I had to switch. I am in a world of hurt. I have been doing opiates for,over 5 years because of back pain and my wife who has several autoimmune conditions having and abundance of opiates. This past spring I had an MRI and my back has ruptured discs, bulgiing discs, straightening of the spine and spinal stenosis...in both my cervical and lumbar.

I have a really high tolerance inmo as I function well at my Job and life in general on doses (my wife's meds) of approximately 300mg of oxymorphone a day insuufalated or 8 1600mcg of,subsys (fentynal) a day. I hate the subsys because the craving is tremendous, it hits you quickly but only lasts 4 hours. My pain doctor (same as my wife) started me on norco and then moved me to mc contin ( morphine ER) 60mg every 8 hours. Because of my tolerance and my wife blowing through her subsys I had to share mine with her. Well, now she is in the hospital skipping the withdrawal with her "autoimmune go to the hospital card" while I am left to watch the kids and figure out how to work in pretty bad WD and no one to,watch my daughter. I'm a teacher and tomorrow is my first day back and going in feeling the way I do is not a good idea.

<snip>

Been on Imodium since Wednesday which helps gastrointestinal but nothing oc is,helping my back. If ia out of line withmy post then someone tell me and I will delete. Please no flaming, I'm suffering and I do not need to hear we have all,gone through it toughen up. It is,my back making this insufferable.

Thanks

Senokot S is a stool softener and laxative. If you do not want the laxative you can go for strait stool softenerDioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate.

Sorry not trying to source or,score because I am terrified of parts of this city and would not know how to,do it. All my meds come from a,pain management doc. My wife left me in a rough spot before I start back to,work. Honestly, I'm looking for pain relief not high

Good luck man.
It looks like you are either going to have to work while sick or take time off.
It will take an honest self-examination and a lot of discipline to get out of this hole.

I am disabled with significant pain, and I had to stop the pain-management program. After 3 months I was already beginning to take more than the prescribed dosage, and saving pills for the monthly urinalysis. I refuse to live like that, and called the doctor and told her that it is too habit forming for me. It really sucks to live with significant pain, and I will pursue more frequent and direct pain management care (rather than monthly prescriptions) when I have more capital.
In the meantime I can be more productive overall while in pain, than I can be when struggling with a habit-forming prescription.
 
Hi op im one of those who has worked through withdrawals/comedown and was able to pass through the difficult time. Goodluck and we are here to support you.
 
How much immodium are you taking? It might help you through the rough parts, as someone else mentioned.
Just be careful not to take too much. Let us know how you're doing.
