Hello, Some of you may remember that I recently stopped going to pain management? I was switched from Tramadol to Vicodin to Percocet to Dilaudid to Percocet in the span of about three years. I fought it for all of those three years not to abuse my prescription, but I started taking more than I was supposed to, running out early, blahblahblah. I saw myself going down a road of addiction that I didn't want to repeat (was briefly on the illegal types- not that it's a whole lot better- when I was younger) & told my new pain doctor to F---orget it. I don't want to do it anymore & she was a jerk to me anyways. So, I ran out of my last script of Percocet & turned to an old script of Tramadol that I still had in my medicine cabinet. Instead of tapering that down, I ran out/went cold turkey. That happened yesterday. Last night was absolute hell. I've never had withdrawals from anything like that EVER. Didn't sleep, had to call in sick to my new job this morning. I've been researching different things I can do to ease withdrawal symptoms. I happen to have some kratom. I've been taking that all day today. I thought it was making me feel better until I went to the grocery store just now. The kratom all of a sudden made me feel loopy & I'm back to feeling RLS-like, nauseated, etc. How the heck am I going to survive going back to work tomorrow? How the heck am I going to even drive there? I have a highly involved job that is fairly fast-paced & requires me to be functional. Please help. Any advice is greatly appreciated...
