Does Roxicodone really help or is it just very habit forming?

Roxicodone is a very dangerous drug! I am a recovering opiate addict/alcoholic and I can certainly tell you hun that his withdrawal symptoms will only get worse the longer he takes the meds.Signs of withdrawal from opiate medications are severe muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, extreme irritability, drug seeking behavior/thoughts including self medicating with alcohol, an intense sensation or mental psychosis of excruciating pain or exaggerated sense of pain. There are more symptoms as well but as I said with continued use these symptoms will only get worse. Watch for nodding. If your husband begins to nod suddenly this means he is very high and feeling very good. This nod will only get worse so be careful driving with him. Watch him throughout the night as he sleeps just incase and secretly check his pill count. Doing it in front of him may cause him to become very hostile and make him think he needs to zone out more.

I dont tell you this so that you feel like you are walking on eggshells but you asked and I wanted to give you some insight into the mind of an addict. Whatever you do please do not approach him about this with anger or in an accusatory way as this may make him shut down and shut you and others out. Be caring and hopeful in your words and express your worry. I work with addicts and alcoholics and full-heartedly believe in the fellowship of A.A. and Alanon for family members of those with addiction. NA is a good program to but I feel more of a connection within the fellowship of A.A. Try to go by yourself to an Alanon meeting and you will find all the answers you seek and learn how to best help your hubby. Remember he will not quit unless he is good and ready. Sorry that's how it works... he must be sick and tired of being sick and tired! Best of Luck and I will keep both of you in my prayers Keep your head up!
