:( been on narcotics for years chronic pain, i came down from 240 mg/day of methadone to 40/day. Also the klonipin is 1/mg 21 x day. I am terrified of the length of withdrawal. My doctor cut me off cold turkey and I feel I have no options. I cant stand the pain and no one here (spokane, WA) will even see new chronic pain patients, I have no money to enter a clinic. What are my options? I would rather be without them, but never have been. Are there people out there who have done this? If so what can I do to lessen the problems that are enivatible with withdrawal? How long are they and when should I worry, as I have hernias, high blood pressure and run risks from my genetic disease, like retinal detachments. Hate to sound so moody as a first meeting, forgive me, and thank you for your concern. :cry: :idea: ???

Hi hun, I have an option for you, Suboxone. i was a heroin addict for 2 years, but addicted first to pills for 5. my mother actually gave me my first narcotic for period cramps...nice parentting skills huh? God bless her though, she's been sick since she had a gastric bypass 17 years ago. Anyways, since Ive been on Suboxone Ive been sober...i tried to mess up once 1 yrin,but ijust fell asleep, the blocker inside of the drug doesnt let you get high for close to a week after getting off of it (thank God) I have epilepsy and Keppra is fine with it...Im on a new epilepsy drug Vimpat, and its been hell for my body/depression. If you have chronic pain it will help some, but not all;methadone is stronger.If I were you I would tough it out, right now im just staying on subs because i share them with my bf who i live with, and he cant work without them, he threatens he'll quit his job if I leave him or if take the subs away...i kno its wrong/unhealthy so please everyone make the comments spare...he's the one who got me off the streets, sober and away from stripping to get high and for rent. Good luck babe!

I forgot one more thing-your dr taking you off klonipins cold turkey can kill you...you will have seizures, no doubt. even if I take two, I will seize about a week later!
