Hi all! I'm new here. My name is Caden. I'm 31 male and ready to get clean. So this is my story. 9 months ago i was hit with an incredible amount of kidney stones. (Horrific constant pain) I have an underlying kidney disease so using sound waves or laser was out of the question. So they put two stents into both kidney. One part sits inside each kidney while the other runs into your bladder. Also a very painful experience so i was on hydrocodone 10/325 and oxy without acetaminophen 10mg. Long story short. They left the stent in too long and i ened up with a major kidney infection. Leading to me being hospitalized for 2 weeks and the stent removed followed by...yep. Two more months of pain meds. So here i am now!! Hooked and starting withdrawls. I did manage to do a really fast wean off of the hydros. I only took 5mg yesterday but im definitely starting to feel the withdrawals begin.. So i have ZERO help from my dr who prescribed all of these drugs. I was taking around 80-90 mg a day. But for the last 2 weeks i have cut that down rapidly bc i had no choice. Does she not have a responsibility to help me at all? I weaned which is hard to do but im terrified bc i was on them for so long. I have one 2mg suboxone that i have cut into .25 mg pieces (8 little pieces) ive never used suboxone before so any advice would be greatly appreciated. It has been 24 hours since i took that 5mg of hydro. I still have one 5mg hydro left. Should i take it and start the suboxone once my last pill is gone?? Is .25 mg of suboxone too much? I've read you start out super low and if you still feel bad in 60-90 minutes you take a little more. My problem is thats it. All i have. I live in fort smith ar and have no idea where i can get help. I'm anxious and my body hurts so bad. Stomach upset and freezing cold. Thank you for reading my post!! Please give me any and all advice you can as soon as you can. Thanks again.
