    Thank you all soooooooooo much
    doc also gave me Paxil. I don't get it though...if it takes up to a month for that stuff to start working....why bother??? I only have 2 more weeks of the tapering program off the oxycodone and then I am stopping all...the Oxy..the Ativan...and the Paxil. Oh well, I know the more I get into this....the less onycodone i take....the more i want to choke someone and sream and cry. I NEVER EVER thought something like this would happen to me. I sure appreciate all your input. I have to say..... as they are taking more and more away...guess what I am using as a fillier????? yes.....thankyou Graybeard!!!!! works pretty good. Except I think I have gained 10 pounds!!!! LOL...... I just try to sleep all the time and hope I wake up and it will be gone....... the next few days are going to be the toughest as they are taking the bulk...... so i will be back with you in a few days.....pray and wish me luck!!!!! Thanks guys@!

    Hi Jennie
    Maybe if you weened off the Ativan. Since it has the capabilities to make you sleep. Maybe only taking it at night would help. And not drag you out so much. Just a thought. I am so sorry you have to go thru this, seems to me, you've been dipped in **** and should be smelling like a rose by now! Just remember you fought for your life, nothing can compare, only the fear of what if. You know the what if, you kicked its ****!! You go girl, you are so strong and full of life and I love your energy you bring to the board. You got this, sometimes we make it harder on ourselves by not seeing the Forest thru the trees! Wish I could be there to help you,
    Huge warm hugs

    good for you!
    I had to laugh at the weight gain, I guess I forgot to mention that side effect. Of course depending on where the weight goes maybe we should call it a "rear" effect, :).
    Was very happy to see your post, and will continue to send you good thoughts, your friend

    I hesitated to post because I have no advice or experience with pain meds, but wanted you to know I'm thinking of you and hoping you feel better very soon!

    In the same boat
    I too have this problem, and will be seeing my doc to start a tampering off program as well. I dont take that much, so it would seem like it should be easy, but I have tried myself and I just have not been able to do it, i am scared, because from just what little I have gone through, the whole process scares the heck out of me. Will keep you in my prayers, and I ask that you do the same for me...See you in Oct!!

    If all else fails, I've got
    If all else fails, I've got an aluminum baseball bat. You won't be crying but you might suffer from severe headaches. Seriously, it just sounds like you are having withdrawals. The good news is, it's only temporary. In the mean time there is nothing wrong with a little cathartic crying. Pretty soon you will be back to the cold heartless winch you have always been. Just kidding - I know you are a great lady with a big heart. You'll be back to the sweet big hearted lady with the tough attitude. For now, go and be a big cry baby with my blessing.

    Love ya'

    So Sorry
    Hi Jennie,

    I am so sorry that you are having such a rough time. I know everyone is different but I wanted to let you know how I am dealing with a similar situation. I had been on 120 mg of morphine 3 times a day for over a year (didn't start out that high- it became necessary to control my pain over a 7 yr period.) I have been on pain medications starting with vicodin and then oxy then morphine and dilaudid for breakthrough pain (Long story). After my cancer surgery I was able to start decreasing the morphine however it has taken a long time. I got down to 60 mg 3 times a day and now take 15mg 2 x a day and 60 mg at night. This took a long time. My pain doctor thought I might have to be detoxed but allowed me to try it on my own. I decreased very slowly. I would take 15 mg less 1 time a day AM for a week, then the next week I would decrease another 15mg (afternoon) for a week then I would take 15mg less at night for a week. Decreasing each dose by 15 mg over time worked great for me. I didn't have any withdrawal symptoms and if there was breakthrough pain I could always add 15mg back in. I have been very happy to be able to decrease the dosage over the last year. I was hoping to be able to get off of all pain meds but cant due to the pain I still experience. I will continue to work on getting the 60 mg at night lowered. I'm telling you this so you won't beat yourself up so much. It took me a long time to accomplish this. I just wonder if you're trying to do it to fast. I did this under the supervision of my pain specialist. So many doctors don't understand pain management. I don't remember if your doctor is a pain specialist but maybe you could consult with another doctor. I just feel so bad for you. You certainly don't need to be going through withdrawals on top of everything else.

    I hope this makes sense, it's hard for me to get my point across sometimes. I just want to encourage you. You will be able to do this it just may take a little longer than you thought.
    I will be praying for you and if you have any questions let me know.

    Big Hugs and Prayers,

    Debbie
