I just wrote to someone with a similar question. See the forum topic "pain killer help." Withdrawal symptoms are unavoidable, but doctors who know about pain killer addictions have quite a few new medications to make detox much, much easier. The good news about withdrawal symptoms is, remembering them will be good motivation from ever going on narcotics again.

You are not alone, and you never have to [u]feel</u> alone again.

Try Narcotics Anonymous (www.na.org). True, you might end up in a meeting surrounded by crazy people (this happens), but these crazies know exactly what you are going through because they've been there themselves. I am one of them, have been for nearly five years, and I have a great deal of happiness in my life today, a big difference from when I first started. I was totally suicidal. These terrible feelings of worthlessness do pass with time, so long as you don't act on them. Suicide is a permanent solution to a short-term problem, even though our problems at times can seem permanent. They're not. God doesn't make mistakes, you included. So don't act like you know better, even if you don't believe in God or you're mad at him.

The bad news is, you have to do some stuff for it to get better. You've started by reaching out for help. Good job for swallowing your pride! Some people let their pride kill them. Now's the time for the next step. Reach out to NA or if that seems like too much to take on right now, just take yourself to the emergency room or call 911 and tell them how you feel and what you want to do about it. They won't look at you like you have two heads, I promise. But do it now, not tomorrow.

Default Dear Kathi

I wish I could help you, I lost my wife of 39 years to pain killers (hydro codones) a year and a half ago and then I lost my son 31 years old to them (oxicodone) 2 weeks ago. Both just stopped breathing. Believe me some one does care - I care. I wish I could tell you how to stop. I was dense with my wife and did not realize she had an addiction. She said she always had a headache. With my son I knew (after my wifes death) he was addicted. At least you admit you are addicted. My son would not admit that. He would do great for a month or two but then for reasons unknown he would get into it. He had his first child just 3 months ago, left his sweet wife and child. What a shame. Please seek others that can help you. Never feel that no one cares. I do, and many others do. Life is a gift.

Thumbs up Oxicodone

I Am Not A Medical Person,so Have No Idea About Withdrawls Medically,but I Would Think Your Doctor Should Be Able To Give You Meds That Are Not As Addictive And Still Help With The Pain,like Toradol..it Non Narcotic But Works On Pain,also You Need Alot Of Support To Help You Get Thru This,again Your Doc Should Be Helping You With This So You Don't Get Depressed.keep Chatting Online To People..that Might Help.i Have Just Started Taking This Med And Am Worried I Will Get Addicted..it Works So Well On The Pain,and Its Been So Long That I Have Had Pain I Love The Hours Without It,so I Will Have To Be Careful..you Tc..maybe Catch Up With You Again,,,sheri

Default There is people that care

Dear Kathi,

Don't loose hope. There is a lot of people that care....Have you tried titrating down slowly with your doctor? We see patients coming in daily that were hopeless and regain their lives just by being able to detox medically and getting the appropriate medical and psychological support they need. This is not your fault and it is not about will power, this is a chemical imbalance and opiates remove your natural endorphins not allowing you to have any pleasure in life with out it.....It is a reversible condition, I work with the Waismann Method I see patients getting well daily. please don't loose hope we are here for you...
