Yes, chronic pain and addiction are a tough combination. A couple things you should be aware of, though-- first, tramadol is an 'agonist' at opiate receptors, accounting for a portion of it's effects. Tramadol also has serotonergic properties that contribute to the analgesia from the medication.
I take propranolol for Tremors from taking Gabapentin. I wanted to know if propranolol has withdrawal symptoms because I am weening off all meds to see if my new symptoms were caused by all the meds. I want to add meds as needed for Fibromyalgia.
How long does withdrawal from beta blockers usually last? I don't have any money to refill my propranolol prescription and haven't had it in 4 months. I was taking it for arrhythmias and high BP (160mg XR propranolol with 180mg XR diltiazam daily) and when I ran out 4 months ago I just kept taking the Dilt. hoping the symptoms were just withdrawals and that they would go away... Symptoms are what you would think, I'm just curious if to someone with similar conditions (i.
4 days ago pcp changed my beta blocker from propranolol 40mg twice daily to metprolol er 25mg daily d/t low pulse in 40s- 50s. Been on propranolol for 22yrs for PVCS. She had me just stop propranolol and start metoprolol, been experiencing shakiness, occassional pvcs, headache, nausea, pulse still 45 - low 60s at rest and with exertion 70-90. Should she have tapered propranolol or will the metoprolol block the more serious withdrawal symptoms ie: HTN, chest pain ect.
When switching to the new med, does the body experience w/d from the other opiate, even though a new opiate is replacing the old opiate.
In other words, let's say you "rotate" your meds once every 6 months. At those 6 month intervals, when your physician places you on a different medication, do you experience withdrawals for a few days?
I have a theory that different opiates attach to diff opiate receptors.

in past fifteen years, (8) it is likely that opiate withdrawal has become more severe. (9) Symptoms of heroin withdrawal usually begin four to six hours following last use, peak within forty-eight hours, and subside within five to seven days.
Although opiate withdrawal is not usually fatal, deaths in jail due to inadequately treated opiate withdrawal have been reported. (10) The risk of withdrawal complications is heightened by the presence of co-morbid conditions.
See if your doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep. It will make your withdrawals easier. Valerian and Magnesium is sometimes helpful remedies over the counter. You are already on Klonopin which will be helpful for sleeplessness and anxiety.
The residual symptoms of insomnia and depression can last another few months.
Hi congrats on day 5 your off to a great start as for sleep it can be ruff for a wile it is all part of the withdrawal you just got to stick it out there is a good product on the market called alterill it is 3 good homeopathic medicine for sleep give that a try over the next few days it will be all but impossible to sleep with our without meds you just got to keep your eyes on the prize I am also a big perponet of N/A just because you stoped the pills does not equal recovery your still le
But if you stick with it, it has nalaxone in it and that prevents other opiates from having an effect and will throw your body into rapid detox if you do take suboxone after a good run with dope( which is why a doctor will make you withdrawal for a good day or two before you can take it, which *****) so even if you try to shoot up or take pills, you might only try once or twice because there's no effect, and you realize you wasted 100$ bucks or whatever the amount.
How long will it take for my "sleep clock" to reset? I have been reading posts on this site for all 9 days of my withdrawal from Codeine. One thing I haven't noticed a lot is referral to the use of other medications. I was receiving lots of medication for treatment of my migrances (which have improved drastically over the last month).
he is not having opiate withdrawal if he is taking sub. Why the dexedrine and for how long? If you are thinking drug withdrawal you probably should look at the benzodiazepines and the amphetamine. From my experience sub was worthless as a pain medication. So he may really be in pain. Does he have an organic reason for pain?
Be brave and call the hotline number in your area NA or AA or call both talk to someone and ask for help. Your husband may not be there for one. Many times the people close to us just can't or won't face the fact there loved is in trouble. You have taken a very brave step by writing on this site. One day at a time might need to be one hour at a time. You are not alone in this very real fight.
s hard as I have trigeminal neuralgia that can be hard to deal with. I am having surgery for this soon- I quit before for 4 years this time is much harder.
