Ms Contin Prescription Withdrawal (Page 4) (Top voted first)

Im a 58 yr old woman. I'm bipolar, reclusive and my husband is an over the road trucker. 4 years ago i was put on Percocet 10/325. The dr missed a broken shoulder bone so i switched Drs who added MS Contin. I had rotator cuff surgery but within 3 months I went to bed at Thanksgiving and woke up at the hospital on Xmas. I had severe pneumonia - they induced the coma as my oxygen was mid 60s, and after 3 chest tubes failed, they had to go in and physically debride my lung. So besides shoulder to wrist pain I have phantom nerve pain over that scar.

My dr told me the nerves cant connect. I don't take street drugs, nor seek drugs, but my vision is bad and my husband left a tablet in a dish by my chair which i thought was a Percocet and took it. Well, it wasn't. I knew i was going to have a UA on my next visit, but due to this, (and there is no way whatever was left in my system was high levels at all) he dismissed me as a patient and will not even talk to me nor offer advice how to quit. My husband took me to the ER Saturday night because I woke up screaming because my calves were cramped like rocks. Last year in a trip that got delayed i ran out of meds for about 8 days and i know whats coming next.

I have NO ONE to even keep an eye on me let alone help me. I don't think i can survive either physically or mentally. I've tried calling doctors, the hospital, and no one cares. I'm older, just a bottom feeder in Purdue's pharmaceutical ruin of this country. Other than writing a will, is there ANY help for me? I have no family. Although my Dr knew i needed mental services (esp after the coma), none were provided. What do i do? Im running out of time and energy.. help me please.

I absolutely have and I apologize for those I struck out at, just a very frustrating time 8n my life, where iam located there is no physicatric care, believe me I and my Dr looked. It was my fear that made me react so, but I've made some positive changes and while s t I'll a recluse, I'm working on it. I just truly wish that when my Dr put me on all the heavy duty pain meds he would have explained to me that dependency WOULD happen, that's all, and although not very many people were very kind, nor did you need be, untill you have walked a mile in my shoes,,,,

Re: Blacksaddle (# 71)

The little sticker on all opiut based pain killer bottles & paperwork that comes with it by law..that most people toss out the paperwork.

Refer directly to addiction if using opiut pain killers .
Once again dont blame your doctor
Accept what you did and move on getting help you need.
Happy thankgiving

I understand the bipolor the pain the copd .
The ability to make a post for help makes me wonder the validity of all your trouble . you said you had a appointment with regular Dr. But were not allowed to see him ?
What was there reason ? This entire story lacks TRUE REALITY?
you disclosed you have a car after saying you were stuck at home with no help. But obviously refused to call 911 ? I dont know anywhere in the world today that has 911 resources that do not help in some way at once ??
This storyvis to far out there to believe that your as bad off as you claim .

I don't know if this will help you but others have used Tylenol pms. It helps with any pain med withdrawal, or use any pas they all work the same. I wish you the best.

Re: SheriAmore (# 68)

She just likes to kill the messenger of help..
All these people said they felt sorry for her for being bipolar and she could not seek help.
She was smart enough to make the original post and several inflammatory post afterwards..

When myself and everyone else was offering solid sollutions to her problem ..she blames doctors a useless husband and me lol
Never accepts any responability for her own actions condeming people for posting help guidelines

Bipolar or not she even reposted saying i was a troll on the internet
Take some responsability nlack saddle you have to be your own advocate and accept your own actions in life ..
Stop blaming doctors for your ttoubles

Well you self admitted not following narcotic rule. Any prescribing Dr. Can refuse writing prescriptions if you do not follow the guidelines. You are capable if reposting here several xs.. Which any person with common sense including any Dr. Would know your not in immediate danger if dying. With your medical issues you have claimed here. I find it very unbelievable you only visited two drs in two years? If you had all the trouble you claim ? You would not be intelligent enough to re post here continually. once again if you fear danger of death call 911 they will respond and take you to a hospital that required by law to evaluate you. If hospital evaluates you and you are not in there opinion dying then you will be released. It sounds like you need mental counselling at the least . try calling 911 if you have no luck making contact with current drs. You have to be your own advocate to help yourself first. Unless your found unresponsive. The husband who is over the road trucker ?? obviously does not care about his wife? To leave you in a condition you describe. It sounds like attention getting personality you have. Call 911. You have to make a positive move. If you actually are as bad as you claim. you have internet so you have the resource to contact police fire ambulance hospitals etc. Unless your on a deserted island you will get help at once. Stop crying poor me and make the call.

Backsaddle...here's an option.
Since you have access to the internet you could Google your TOWN, STATE & PSYCHIATRIC doctors.
It will bring up any PSYCH doctors in your area & if you're not able to drive, schedule a time when your hubby can
take you. I hope that you're able to get help.
