Opioids Questions on Oxymorphone use

[buttershots21]

Remember that addiction is when you go to irrational lengths to get your drug of choice and that your sole focus is getting your drug of choice to the point where your life revolves around it.

In most cases this is true, but it's not always an addiction to the high. In psudoaddiction, the same applies, though rather because a CPP is being under medicated by their doctor and have to through other means to obtain pain relief, not a high. That isn't addiction, that is someone in pain who cannot get relief through legal channels, and therefore resorts to illegal means to control their pain. I am currently in this situation. Does my life revolve around getting my DOC? You bet it does. Do I go to irrational lengths to obtain it? Yes I do. Is it because I'm a junkie who just wants to get blasted? Nope. It's because I need to work, I have a family to support, and I have run out of options. If the DEA would butt out of the medical industry and doctor's actually understood that living with chronic pain is being only half alive, then people like me wouldn't have to turn into felons just to live a normal life.

It's alright just keep personal disputes with other members to PMs and stay civil.

Good to see you back TPD.

It's all good vikenRedbull. It's cool that you apologized and have calmed down now Personally I was mainly just trying to explain that many people could find Fire and Water's comments about addiction hurtful and that you were just over-reacting. But it's important to remain civil and polite even when you disagree with someone. Awesome of you to be able to admit when you are in the wrong and move on

A-Fuckin'-Men...I'm in the same boat as you and feel the same way...I feel like an addict at times because of how much I try to get high-dose pain medications when I do have money, but what am I supposed to do? I'm 20 years old and can't work...I've never made it out of my parents house, and because of my conditions, won't be able to for a few years...it's bullshit...I'm "too young for hydrocodone," but I'm old enough to be put on a dose of tramadol equal to a dose of hydrocodone most doctors won't prescribe, so I'm fucked in that department...They're not gonna want to move me to C-II drugs, but they're also not gonna want to prescribe a high enough dose of C-III medications...

 

[tricomb]

^ word. They have me on oxycodone C-II but I might even consider switching to a high dose of hydrocodone since they might feel more comfortable prescribing norcos to me due to my age. I just don't want to give up the C-II status yet out of fear of them trying to keep me on C-IIIs.

Hey everyone!

Just came back here to check up on the thread, and wanted to say thanks a lot for all the helpful posts from everyone, reading all of your experiences and such was really helpful.

I used two weeks ago Friday and Saturday night, but haven't been on anything at all since. I did however notice some sniffling and sneezing this week, just regular old flu-like symptoms.
More of a slight nuisance than anything, but could those symptoms really have occurred from just 4 separate sessions of use? (In total over 4 weeks)

I was considering trying the drug again tomorrow night, but realized that it would just be a stupid mistake, and I think I'll just go see Prometheus with some friends instead.

Thanks again everyone! Awesome community here.

One more quick question that I'd really love answered by you guys, something that I just now thought of.

I used oxymorphone (maybe 2mg) last Friday and Saturday night, and also smoked some new weed (same amount I usually do, like .2g) that I had just gotten, much more potent then
anything I was use to.

Sunday while out driving with some friends, I started to feel a bit weird, randomly my hands felt very numb like the feeling you get after
sitting on your leg for too long, but concentrated just on my hands. It wasn't dangerous or anything, as I still had full control over the car, it just felt like I didn't. Very hard to explain, but I still drove perfectly.
As the day went on, it became just a numbing feeling in my fingers.
Throughout the week, it got slightly better and now I only feel it slightly in my fingertips.

I was very scared Sunday/Monday that there was something wrong with the new weed, my nerve endings, something along those lines, but I still haven't really been able to figure it out.
Is this something that has ever happened to any of you? Do you have any idea if it would be caused by too strong of weed or could this maybe even be a withdrawal symptom even though I only had used it twice?

Sorry for all the posts, but I'd really love a response from any of you experts. Thanks again.
