Hello.
Ive been off an pain meds for kidney stones over 12 years.

Recently after becominh sick and being prescribed 60 perks a week for 4 months. Doctor cut me off. I was still in pain do i turned to street drugs the 4 months using oxycontin up to 240mg a day.
Now i am trying to quit. 1 day sober. Went to hospital they gave me 2 doses of 2mg suboxone. It didnt seem to help alot but a little.

They wouldnt give me script just a referral which i think is crazy. I need help through withdrawl. Im not sure what to do.

I guess i will try the referall but not sure what they will do to help.
 
Hi there and welcome to the site,

Kidney stone pain for 12 years? Could you not just have them removed or am I missing something? Check your diet for purine levels and have a look at Uralyt-U to maintain a healthy PH level for your urine. Both helped me and I was able to pass mine within a month.

We do have a 'Sober Living' section that you can find here where you will find information on a taper etc.

The amount of times I hear about people in long term pain maintenance being cut off from the doctor without a taper or alternative treatment is a disgrace.

Good luck
