Opioids Opioid (Fentanyl) withdrawal

My PM Doc said because im to early for a refill they dont care if its a diff dosage i would have to wait. Not sure if waiting will do it either he will say its almost out of your system why start again.

I feel like I have the flu I can't eat the smell of food makes me sick. I have taken ativan and clonidine with some overthe counter wrestless leg syndrome pills. I slept for a good 15 hours now i start another day thanks for all the help.
 
My pain level just jumped one of my discs hit a nerv and im not moving. This is what im afraid of its either drugs, pain, or some pain and addiction. My pain level is about a 9 right now.
 
hey badback, clean out your mailbox lol! tried sending you a pm back and I got a message saying your mailbox was full... just whenever you're up to it, I'm sure you're not feeling too great right now.
 
I only had 3 messages is that a greenlite thing? I called my doc to explain its getting harder and harder and the nurse said call UVA. I explained that the doctor told me to call him if it gets worse and it has i have used more then half of the ativan and clonidine sp. I want to jump out a fycking window. I now know why heroin is so hard to stop if its anythibg like this im glad we never met.
 
The basics are restless arms and legs twitching like a twigger no offense to anyone. The diarrhea the vomiting you will throw up and nothing but this vial green yellow bial just doesn't stop i have worm all under my skin i cant lay down with out twitching this is hell for the next 5 days. How to you explain that to your kids? The doctor said no weening down so this is what its like to use the system legally become addicted and be left on your own. Not to mentioned the pain is still here and hetting worse, the drugs did one job but in VA they onlu care about the DEA. This has been the last 17 years of my life and more and more are.taken away. I rode motorcycles was a volunteer fireman coached my kids now i cant ride the fire dept cant use me i understand, i sit in my home and watch the wife to my jobs the kids.play without me its so hard but when im on the drugs i can function and do some things i just cant make them understand what i need the doc always says im being watched i have to be careful. All this shit and in the 4 years i have seen him i never failed a drug test by him or my job. Thats the thanks i get

Sorry just in a dark place

That's absolutely ridiculous as far as I'm concerned. May be time to find a new MD, although I'm sure that it's unimaginable right now to try and do anything, much less leave the house :(
 
wow your doctor needs to learn some fucking compassion. Im sorry man the only good news is that fent withdrawal should only last around 90 hours.
 
Whats with the God B.S. ? he this is a secular site lol. seriosly though good on you Badback10 & the very best of luck to you.
^^That, except from weed, cause it would help if you like it, but a lot of people don't like it, so if you are one of these, smoking it through the W/D, i'm sure it would rather make you feel VERY uncomfortable. I'm sure you know you're going the difficult way, quiting up cold turkey from fent 75, yeah, i really admire you, (not ironic at all, my friend, this thing needs real balls to do it..).
Well, you're in these drugs for years, you know what you would need for help, but i think except the meds that the friends above mentioned, (and i would say that some poly-vitamins, maybe some DL-Phenylalanine, and stuff like these, any-fuckin-way..) The Most Important is God.
I wish you luck and power, from my heart friend, i mean it...Stay safe and strong..

Man nothing but vomit vomit & more vomit i cant keep anything in my pain level is now a 10 i can hardly roll this sucks.
 
I honestly can't believe my eyes. You should stop seeing that doctor, starting NOW. Call a new doctor and tell them what's going on and that you need to be tapered.

Or, go to an ER. Tell them you're highly dependent on fentanyl and your doctor cut you off and refused a taper, and that you would like to taper down with the 50mcg/hour patch and then 25mcg/hour then the 12.5mcg/hour.


Some doctors, I swear it's like they got their license out of a cereal box.
 
Fent. Withdrawal

I was up to the 2400mcg sucker pops type fentanyl. Used two a day for about a year on top of other narcotics. Started rubbing on the inside of my cheek and did less and less each time needed. (tapered pretty quick) I think I missed the candy (sweetness) more than the fent. Really, wasnt too, too hard but not cold turkey, I was very surprised!
When I had the patches sometime before that, I cut a cover and placed over the medicine portion, one side at a time so about 1/2 strength at a time was actually released and then slowly enlarged the cover. I was swimming a lot and not getting true skin absorbsion all the time anyhow, but just take every day slow, take care of you're pain in other ways and get a goog leg massage, for me. Remember, you're going to be O K.
With my IR and ER Opana, I didn't have much trouble and was off the fent in about 2 & 1/2 weeks, but I did increase them (opana meds) for awhile also. I have major Chronic Pain, RSD, and can feel what you mean about not wanting to be a zombie or something. Pm me if I can help, I defenitely can relate. Best of luck and do some more searching on withdrawal, lots of good advice here. There's like a mega withdrawal Thread. Sorry to hear the system is screwing with you also, my main enemy isAIG insurance co. And workers comp,,, uhhhh...barf spit, unhelpful sorry pigs with no conscience whatsoever!!!! Remember, they are not you, ... and they don't controll you, even when they pull their stupid tricks! Breathe, stay real and tru to yourself!

I would have to agree with Tricomb,
Get to an ER or someplace that can help, dehydration is something that creeps up on you and you loose all focus and reality. Get someone to take care of the kids and take care of you! They love you and will understand, they want you well too!!!

Well, as long as Drs like your's still exists, and treat all the chronic pain patients like junkies, (fuck, what junkie, your Dr my friend Badback, is worse, forcing you to go Cold Turkey from the 75 patch, WTF?:X, is he a tormentor?) where the fuck is the "civilization"?..I don't fuckin know, is there any way to report him/her to a goverment department, office whatever, isn't there smth like this?..But now, these are just words,or maybe smth to do after this torture of W/D..I'm on the same boat with you, on fent 100 for 48hrs, i can imagine how the W/D would be, hell:|, for sure..but any-fuckin-way, i can see that you're strong enough, (you're much stronger than me, for example..), i wish you good luck from the bottom of my heart<3, i'm sure in the end, you will be the winner, my friend:)..Be safe and strong...

This is total bullshit. Any luck finding a new MD? This is a sad way to get treated after being honest. And people wonder why there is so little respect for the medical profession? ! HA!
Sorry, Bad... My negativity probably won't make you feel any better. My heart just goes out to you so much :(
 
Yeah I lost pretty much all respect for doctors, I take them all with more than one grain of salt now.

We have the DEA to thank for this, going unpunished as usual.

It's not that difficult for a doctor to assist a patient with discontinuing the narcotics they prescribed. I mean come on, how hard would it have been to go 75 --> 50 --> 25 --> 12.5 --> 0?

Let's see - mmm...75, 50, 25, 12.5, .... That's 4 more paid visits the Dr. would have made money on and then a congrats... mmm that Doc's totally miserable and stupid as well!
Hey, Badback10, how are you? Hanging in there and getting some help and relief I hope!
 
This is just a really messed up reminder to me of how off our medical care system is as a whole. The situation seems to border on inhumane, yet thanks to the DEA bullshit, honest people with real problems get screwed.

All the best to the OP, stay strong, as awful as it is, it will improve. Hope to hear you're starting to feel at least a little better soon.
 
Hey Bad,
I imagine you are at about the height of your misery, but whenever you can bear it please let us know you are at least pulling through somehow. (not trying to be dramatic; I've had only a small taste of fentanyl withdrawal and wouldn't wish it on ANYONE.)
