I need help. My children need me....
Hunker down. Get quinine water to cure the restless leg syndrome. Get good food like Juice, soothing foods because at times your body will crave nutrition again. Pray for divine healing in Jesus name and, if you can, get you Dr. to prescribe you Clonidine (a blood pressure med used for opiate detox), and anything else that will help. Good Luck. Gene
This is a fantastic article. Personally after have gone through the process is sounds a lot easier than it really is. I think one other person noted that the maintenance stage really never ends. I think even after you get over your addiction you still have to work hard every day to prevent relapse. Vicky- I am so sorry about your daughter. You hope that by sending them to treatment they will get better. Have you thought about switching treatment centers for her?

I just wanted to say thank you for the withdrawal info....I overdosed on this stuff with as well as another med called Baclofan witch is very similar to Soma. I was in the hospital for 4 days, police report about attempted suicide, which it wasn't. But while I was in the hospital, they continued giving me oxy and baclofan???? Anyway, I was released from the hospital yesterday and went to my first N/A. I'm starting to have the withdrawal symptoms described here. Thank you for giving a broken...
Hey the article looks interesting. Well according to my opinion, stressed people drink more alcohol and smoke more. Many people report drinking alcohol in response to various types of stress, and the amount of drinking in response to stress is related to the severity of the life stressors and the individuals' lack of social support networks. Keep up the good work.
I was recently pulled from 24 mil, per day. I am extremely sick, with no energy, life in general I feel dull, like I don't even exist. I wish some doctor will read this and help me out, I e recently detoxed from the 24mil, overnight with nothing but Clonadine. I feel I can't do this alone. I need help. I'm happy you feel so good about suboxone, you are taking it, just you wait until your doctor decides you should come off it, or god forbid you lose your doctor suddenly. My life sucks...
This is a great website but it would be nice if it said how you can get addicted and why people get addicted to date rape drugs. Because most of the time people use them to drug SOMEONE else but there is a percentage out there that use them to give them that feeling that Date Rape Drugs give out.
Mine was just increased to 8mg a day from 3. On most days I am taking closer to 10-12. I have been on it for years, but my anxiety recently spiked. It is pretty much the only thing that keeps me going to work, but I have noticed more aggressiveness and worsening depression. I am starting to re think all my meds. They make things bearable, but fix nothing.
I have three children oldest now is 24 she is a great wife and mother of two. I have a 21 year old son father of 1 I have a 16 year old son father of none. I allowed my children to have occasional drinks when we went camping and bonfires. There was no age I set to allot his it was different for each child.
