oxy problem

[xerxes]

Hey guys,

I've been on oxycodone for 2 years now for back pain, I go through a pain treatment clinic. Over the last 2 years I have become so addicted to this medication that I feel my life centers around this drug. If I go away for a day, I have to make sure I dont forget my bottle, I can't function without it. My pain is real and I need this drug to do my daily activities like workout, take care of my kid and so on.

I had a problem filling my script last month and I had to wait a week, i ran out of this medication and I went into BAD withdraw. I was so sick that i could'nt get off the couch. I'm prescribed 200 30mg oxy per month and i find myself using more on some days than I should cause I've gottin so use3d to the drug that I can eat a shitload of it and it does'nt even phase me. I looked into comming off but there is no help out there where I live. I guess I'm scared for the first time in my life. I don't know what to do anymore. I can't sleep and all I think about is running out again or something happening where I wont be able to get this medication.

Where do I go from here, It's getting more and more expensive and I dont know if I can afford it anymore. I am so afraid of getting sick that it consumes me. Have any of you been through this? Any advice would be helpfull. Thanks

Xerxes

recovering from opiate addiction

hey there, I have been where you are at. First you need to get yourself into a detox clinic there they may give you subutex or suboxone to help with the withdrawl. secondly you need to get to a pain management center so they can treat the cause of your pain not mask with pain killers.. There are plenty of alternative pain killers on the market today. ask about MOBIC great pain reliever anthing I can do to help you further please ask...

You're lucky you caught yourself while you're only on 30s. Go to your doctor and be straight with him about the situation. Suboxone worked for a friend of mine, not sure what he takes now though.

This should be discussed with a licensed professional in your area. If you do not have one available to you, seek your nearest emergency care facility. The board can't accept the liability for such a serious personal issue. There is help available and treatments that are entirely effective.

Also, check the counseling forum rules.
