I recently tried to quit a serious opiate addiction cold turkey. It was my intention to buy Suboxone from anyone who had it since I've found no help in the medical community.(not even from the doctors who initially prescribed the drugs I became dependent on). Anyway, I was only able to get one dose of the Suboxone, and now I am sick again. How long after taking Suboxone can you safely(that's kind of a joke, but not really) use heroin? Will it cause you to be sick, or experience withdrawl if taken too soon after the Suboxone?

I need some help, my wife who has survived cancer X 2 and has been in remission for 10 years is a Lortab addict. She takes 10 a day and has done so for 5-6 years. She started taking more after she had a breast reconstruction and deals with side effects from the chemo she received way back when. She has decided to quit for herself and our family, I am supporting her all because she has been there for me. My family has a history of this addiction, my father had a gushot wound in 1965 amd within 2-3 years Percodan hit the market as the drug of choice for pain. He became an addict for over 30 years taking up to 100 per week. In 2003 after 2 ulcers and being diagnosed with Alzheimers he passed away. So I am very scared and worried for my wife. She decided that she is going to quit, her reason is because she is will die if she doesnt, she also cant get access to any more, in which I hope is not the reason. I love her and believe her to the my ability. What I need help with is after reading the Lortab website it says quitting can possibly lead to coma. She has been weaning since Tuesday and has one left as of Thursday night. She has started to have the withdrawl symptoms already. I want to know what should I watch for while she is withdrawing, ie coma, seizures. Is this the usual or just a percentage. She wont go to rehab because of there reps in our area. Can she do this. Please help!

First I am amazed to find a site where real people try to help one another through open and honest sharing of feelings, stories and solutions.
I am a 46 year old retired Army Sergeant. I wanted to continue but was forced to retire due to various back injuries. The Lora tab ensued and slowly but surely climbed the ladder to where I am averaging taking ten - ten mg loratabs a day (doctor shopping).
I was wondering if anyone had any advice on suboxone treatment? I am considering trying this method of opiate addiction treatment after much research.
I feel like a horrible dad and husband. I am grumpy and ashamed. My wife married a proud US Army Senior Non-Commissioned Officer and 2 years after retiring I am no longer the man she married. I have not admitted to her all of this as I am too ashamed. She loves me and will help me but I still can't bring myself to talk to her. And my two rug-rats definitely deserve the dad back they had two years ago.
Anyway, I appriciate reading your stories and wish you all luck. If anyone has any advice I would be greatly appreciative.

I was taking 4-5 a day just to ease the "pain" the imaginary pain....I stopped taking them 6/30 and havent looked back the first week was a biatch.....I was irritable, moody, unfocused, but I knew I had to shake the habit, was on them for almost 4 months and they are very addictive. I wish anyone the best of luck kicking the habit on your own, be around positive people,, and keep your mind busy!!! Thats what I had to do, so far so good!!

Can anyone out there give me the withdrawal symptoms of Loratab. I mean in detail, and how long does it take to completely quit? I am trying to cut back and get away from them that way. Sounds like I am not alone in this struggle, although I only take 4 per day @7.5 each. I am cutting to three, then two and hopefully one and then none.. thanks for some help.. John

i gave my name because i dont care anymore, i have tried so many times to stop, and i lay in bed and i cry and i beg God to help me knowing that as soon as i get my hands on the tabs again i will be right back where i was, i have arthritis and i am in pain, but i take the pills to have energy to clean, i am also bipolar, and i live with depression, and things that most people couldnt handle, and i want to stop the drugs, but i cant, my father was addicted to pain killers and i swore i would never do that to my family and i remember how the first one made me feel, and i am still trying to feel that good, i am about to go through the withdrawls again, and i know what is coming, and i want to cry and there isnt anything i can do but go through it, i am not strong enough, my son hurt his hand and the doctor gave hiim medicine for his pain, and i took his meds, and i knew that he was in pain, i am worthless, i dont think i can come back from this,[/list]

Sometimes the drug is stronger than the person. There was a time I did not believe this, but my friend started taking pills after she had a baby and at first didnt like then three years later they ruled her every thought and she got off of them to this day she still has to tell herself everyday not only does she not want them but she doesnt need them. Sometimes it isnt always the street drugs people want it is the dangerous legal drugs that can be far more damaging

thank you all so much for your chat line about being hooked on pain med. im not really sure that i am after reading your notes, it all started with me when my hubby had a broke pelvic, he was prescribed endocet 10 mg. he doesnt like taking anything and only took them for about a week and half. i came home from work with a stress headach and decided to take one for myself. WOW that was awesome, it gave me an energy that i had never experienced, after working 8 hrs and taking care of home, cooking and waiting on him, i had more energy than i could experience, i need say im 57 years old and never done drugs. i worked and worked, high energy level. i felt 10 foot tall and bullet proof. so everyday i came home i was looking for another to help me get through my day. its been 4-5 years and i developed rheumeratoid arthritis and really need them now and cant get a dr. to prescrbe them for me so i buy off friends cause i need them now. i only took 3 a day so im not sure i am hooked, but when i run out im sad, so i guess i am. the only thing now as im trying to get ready for retirement ive waisted a lot of money on them, i can no longer afford them. now even only taking 2 a day and the economy bad i feel so ashamed to buy anymore, am i dependant on them or is this also an addiction? thanks for your help
