I screwed up and now I have to pay for it. I had a bit of confusion a while back with my medications but I thought I understood and did what I was told. When I was switched from 10mg to 15 mg OxyNeo I still had a full month of 10s left so the pharmacy didn't want to give me my new 15 mg meds. Through talking to my doc we decided to use the 10s for my mid-day dose and start the 15s morning and night until my 10s were all gone.
When I called in for my last refill I was out of 15s and almost out of 10s so I told them that. I got a refill for the 15s at twice a day and still had about a week of 10s left so I continued as usual but knew I would have to rely on the 15s soon and my script would run out before my refill was due. I just realized this week that I only have 6 15s left. I called the pain clinic and the doc was not in but she called him and discussed the situation. Just my luck he said NO he won't call in an early refil since according to his records I shouldnt' be out of 15's until the 10th of March. I told the receptionist that I'm also out of 10s but she had no suggestion.
So here I am trying to stretch 6 pills for as long as I can. Luckily I have an appointment at the pain clinic on Monday and hopefully will be able to straighten this out. For now I am just putting off taking any pill until I absolutely need it and can't take it any more. It doesn't look like it will last till Monday but I'll just have to deal with it I guess. I'm sneezing already, which I recognize as the first signs of withdrawal and my back is killing me all the time. I know it will only get worse so I'm not complaining too much yet. I'm going to need you guys big time over the weekend so whoever is around, thank you in advance.
Love and hugs,

Ok, I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and will be around.
Maybe someone will know how to make it better. I have never had it so I can't offer that kind of advice.
Love, Pauli
i wish they could find a way to prevent these kinds of things
hang in there!
hugs!
Repeatedly I keep seeing this on the big board lately.
Take 1 and a half a day to keep your med in your system. That should help some with the withdrawals.
Eat and eat some more! Drink water and juices. No caffenine at all!!!
Take melatonin this will help relax your system.
Take a soak in the tub! Keep your mind busy with activities.
Talk to everyone! Keep checking chat here. I usually am up late so you might catch me : ) I'll look for you on FB too.
I really think with those 1 and a half in your system it won't be too, fingers crossed.
Sending you lots of love to get you through,
Toni
