I need help with my addiction?
Im in the same boat.. i just decided too simply stay on the pain meds but learn too use them properly.. you have too be careful about telling healthcare people/doctors about abusing percocets/oxycodone or any other pain meds as if you end up really needing them you wont be able too as youll be labled as an addict. but if you are determined too get off of them then more power too you! you have too do whats best for you..... im on 180mg to 220 mgs of roxycodone daily for 7 herniated discs etc... i also take meds for bad arthritis and gout.... the roxycodone i will be on for years too come unless something comes out that really works for pain etc... i have been in your shoes.... i had too come off just because i was taking so much junk for depression/anxiety etc.. that i was on too much damn medicine! i went too a different doctor and asked him too straighten me out etc... and he did! he adjusted the meds and took me off most which werent even necessary! maybe you can get a 2nd medical opinion? you obviously had too take them for pain? are you no longer in pain? if you are i would think long n hard before completely quitting them as when you come off you may not like the pain that the pills have been masking all this time... but as far as weening down off of oxycodone? it sucks no doubt, and a doctor can help you with the transition as benzos help ease the withdrawal process ie. ativan/xanax etc... also one of the greatest drugs too come out in years is on the market called suboxone. this med is specifically designed too elminate the withdrawal process 100% if you can chat with your doc about suboxone tabs or strips? they eliminate the mental cravings as well as the physical d sickness.... suboxone is an excellent med and it helps with chronic pain.... just by looking at things it appears your on way too much medication and who wouldnt be fatigued! referring too the bi polar meds that is... the venlafaxine can make you tired etc... i really think you can eliminate alot of the meds in your cocktail, but please dont take this too heart, chat w your doctor about this stuff..... keep in mind your fibromyalgia may cause you pain issues, the suboxone will help with that and help you get off of pain meds.....check it out! keep in mind that if you arent happy with your doctor hell you can find another... best of luck!
