it has slowly stopped working in the last year. I'm wondering how long the w/ds will last taking the morphine and the clonidine patch. Any suggestions would be helpful.. Thanks so much...

I'm a recovering addict myself and my family and I are now dealing with my father's addiction, so I know how you feel and what you're thinking. If your hubby is clean right now and wants to stay that way he needs to look into aftercare: NA meetings, addiction counseling, support groups, network of clean friends... An addict cannot get and stay clean on their own, we need the support of other people who have done it before us. As for you, you need your own support as well.

I am having quite a lot of symptoms of w/drawel. How long does it last to get thru it. I am 50, disabled and poor. I cannot go to a detox and I refuse to be addicted to any meds. Now that I realize that I was-- am even more determined to get it out of my system. So how long til the anxiety, chills, breathing harder, runny nose, flu symptoms, goes away. ?

My daughter did cocainr one tie in her pregnancy and did some weed to get an appitite, so the baby can gain weight,i now have a healthy baby grandson, I just wanted to know how long does the cocaine stay in the babies stool.

Hey guys need your help, I was a big pill popper, taking 9 to 10 vics at a time twice a day some of the time, I did do other ones like percs,narcos,. Then I finally got help from my dad by calling him up and telling him to come home cuz I needed to talk, so I told him my situation and went to the docs the next day and was put on suboxen8m film, **** change my life. Finally felt normal and was getting stuff done. Just this past mon I got the vivitrol shot.

please tell me more about this morphine pump, how did you get it, how does it work? I too have medical and have been disabled for many years due to back pain.

Sure, you won't feel good in the old way or be high (which is good), or be running around for a fix, but you're putting an even more powerful drug into your system then before. Inevitably, you will need to get off that, and you will be dependent on an even more powerful drug. Kicking drug addiction is about learning to live drug-free, without brain-altering chemicals. You need to stay drug-free to allow your brain chemistry to restore.

How long you feel bad and how bad you feel will likely depend on your level of use prior to quitting. If you went from your highest use to zero it will be worse and longer than if you tapered down to minimal use. Even if it's bad, you should only feel like pure hell for 3 or 4 days and that's really no more than a bad case of the flu. For me, the worst part was the Restless Leg Syndrome (aka RLS) and the general feeling of wanting to crawl out of your skin.

AND HOW DOES THE MEDS MAKE U FEEL I JUST DONT WANT THE HIGH FEELING ALL THE TIME FROM IT AND HOW LONG DOES THAT FEELING STAY WITH U .I HAVE 4 LOVELY YOUNG KIDS THAT I WANT TO ENJOY MY TIME WITH THIS ALL IS NOT FAIR TO THEM.

So can anyone tell me if they had this same feeling and how long it lasted for them? Does it EVER go away? I mean, maybe I used to feel like this before but it was normal for me then...? Ugh, this is awful and IMPOSSIBLE! I am hopeless.

Even though the taper was rather fast the dizzy swim feeling is expected regardless of how long you taper. It would have came regardless even under dr. Its your blood pressure, heart beat you want to watch and make sure it subsides. 10mg of valium is equal to about only 1mg xanax and i have dropped from 1mg xanax to nothing without taper and had no real issues other than anxiety and rapid heartbeat on off. I think your over the hump.

Regular Marijuana? Edibles are deep and long acting. A vaporizer will protect your lungs. Lots of short walks around the block all day every day no matter what. Take a cane to make sure you don't fall and to beat off dogs you can't protect yourself from. Find a cool carved one at a Craft Fair.

I have terriable legg cramps, sweets and I can not sleep. How long does this last? It is driving me crazy. I do not have any cravings for the vicodin. Just the withdraws are killing me. I have been drinking water and taking baths. But it doesn't help any. I'm thinking about going to the emergency room and see if they can help me with my withdraws. I have heard about a pill that helps, but then I'm scared of taking another pill as well. Please let me know how long this is going to last..........

Wow! 100 mg of morphine? How long have you been taking that sweety? That's a lot of morphine! I would for sure not stop cold turkey if you've been taking that much. You should talk to your doctor and see what he says about cutting the pill in half because from what I understand the time released forms are not supposed to be crushed, chewed, etc. I could be wrong but I would ask first. That may not be a good way to stop. I wish you all the luck and keep us posted. Don't give up!

how many days to get morphine out of your system? they say ray charles kicked his addiction in 4 days?

So the new medication just is not staying in your system as long as the morphine stayed. You may want to give it some time but its effectiveness may not change. I hope this has been helpful. Please feel free to share with us how you are doing. I will look forward to your input.

Positive attitude really does help, Sam. It helps your immune system work better. Laughter, too; it releases endorphins, and those make you feel good. If you feel better, you don't need as many meds. If you feel better, the time doesn't drag so badly; and you don't wreck everything around you. Being positive does not mean hiding your head in the sand, but going on in the face of hardship and setbacks. Good luck to everyone in the HCV-eradication war and in our individual battles.

This is a really old post I know but I too have DDD and arthritis, I have been off morphine now for just over a week and back on codeine/paracetamol and a few other meds as you no doubt will be the same. Just a quick question how long does the leg pain go on for?

It took awhile for the pain relief to become more constant after starting morphine as it does take some time to build up in your system. But as others mentioned, you may not metabolize morphine well and in that case you will not reach that steady state of pain relief. But Opana isn't morphine so I don't think you have actually tried true morphine.

decision to write how often and how much they should administer and as long as I wasn't asking for it before 2 hours she really shouldn't have said anything to me. That's what I think anyway, except ask me about my pain level. I don't know what the normal amount of morphine is to give to someone in the hospital but I don't feel I was abusing it by any means.

Does anyone know how long it takes to feel the effect of the pain patch?

To me the beauty of methadone treatment is that it gives you a long time to get your self together in all aspects of your life - your emotional, your physical, your spiritual, your relationships, your support system, your attitudes, and your knowledge about addiction. Most people on the forum don't mention that part of methadone treatment; I don't know why.

how ya doing, ihope your feeling ok. hows the dirt biz going, it's been some kind of ride here the last 4 days, withsome one getting my name and all that, and posting cruel things. then having other not beleive me.

to answer this thread a little thig i wrote while i was in and out of a 8 year run trying to get clean tis a tad dark looking back, no less true i run to stay alive how far will i run, as long as the illussion continues how far ? as long as! how far? as long as! one is space one is time these are part of reality! our mission is to transcend apperents, ito the relm of the spititual,. staring, realizing once agian i have mistaking vainity for truth. thus the mission is far from reality.

Depends on how much you were taking and for how long...generally the worst is over in 3-4 days. I highly recommend, if you can, see your doctor and ask for clonidine, a blood pressure med that does wonders for withdrawl symptoms and perhaps something for anxiety. I'm on day 11 right now, started on clonodine on day 1 and I never really had a bad time..the med will make you somewhat lethargic and dry mouthed but it does help, as plenty of folks on here will agree.
