Hello - Thank you for reading my post. After I have read some posts on here - I am pretty sure I have found a group of people who could give me some expert advice on what I can do to ease my husband's both morphine withdrawal and unaddressed pain due to lack of pain relief. He is prescribed 100mg extended release morphine 3X daily plus 4 percocet 5's daily. No medical facility I have contacted is offering me any advice other than to check him into a drug detox center. I am so mad! This is sick - he is on disability, in severe pain, and withdrawal since last night. The teenagers had "friends" over Friday night after we were already asleep. I thought we were SAFE - having all the medications locked in a SAFE. The whole safe is gone. His pain management doctor is harder to contact on any given day than the frekkin pope. Emergency rooms just say "oh my - file a police report". I don't want to talk with some idiot cops who will treat us like idiots when we tell them we had no idea that his rather heavy safe was toted off by some unknown kids that we never noticed our teenager dragging home at 2am from some club. What will they do? Make unfair, ignorant comments and assumptions I am sure. I called a methadone clinic... they were rude to me because I sounded "nervous". Umm... yes I am a nervous wreck. He cannot fill for exactly 7 more days - he is on day two and in bad shape and I feel helpless. I tried 1 suggestion I read on a threat regarding DMX - it did nothing for the pain of course... and nothing for withdrawals. So I have poked around a bit more and decided to just ask - I know there has to be someone with a solution - SOME half decent relief? I do not know what is worse - the withdrawal or the pain. He is in tears. I feel helpless, ignorant and I just keep looking and find nothing... I do not have time to grow a poppy patch!? I need something now, or yesterday, that I can do to help him. Any advise is much appreciated! Now... back to my panic attack.
