Hello everyone, as my title mentioned I've read numerous posts over the years but have neve felt the need to contribute until now.
You see I'm (was) been a medically sanctioned pill addict. I dont blame my doctor as he was getting up in age. But I did take advantage of the the trust built over the 30-35 years. To give and example I could basically prescribe my own medication. I'd just tell him a few relevant points and cite some examples off the internet. It was a reaaly good arrangement until he died suddenly without warning, leaving my without any source of narcotics. GOD THAT DAY SUCKED!
But I suppose everything happens for a reason: which in my case was drug addiction quickly slipping out of control. Instead of my old 28 day aapointment cycle I aheared to like clockwork I stated showing up after 21 days, then 14-15 days for new scripts. Fortunately for me money didn't matter, if my insurance didn't want to pay then I just did myself. Whatever. In hidesight I know I wasn't hiding anything.
Anyways at the time of this writing I have quit all of it, cold turkey: 320mg-350mg oxyIR per day, and on top of that an average 300 micrograms of Fentanyl patches.
So far it's been about 6o hours, during which I have suffered terrible withdrawal, but on the bright side I have managed to locate and dispose of all of my "stashes" without being tempted while holding it in my hand. So A+ for me on that.
Well that's pretty much my story until now. I just need the strength to continue.
