I loved your article! Really, I'm not kidding. If you don't write professionaly, you should consider it! I hope by now you are feeling better.
My problem is totally different, but as bad.
I have been taking pain meds now for about a year for headaches (Vicodin 10/325).During this same time, I got my doctor to give me a script of Ambien to sleep. To make a long story short, I finally decided to take myself off the pain meds and I am realy scared of stopping the Ambien. I really, really, can't sleep without them. My husband is in the same condition, except that he was taking pain meds for his severe degenerative discs in his back. He goes on Friday for a epidural into his spine to see if this will help the pain. He and I both abused the pain meds, taking 10-12 a day, along with 2 Ambien each night to sleep(both of us!) By he way, I'm a Realtor, and my husband runs a major power plant in our area, so he needs to get feeling better soon. I think I am over the withdrawals of the pain meds (Vicodin), but am still taking Ambien to sleep. I had a panic attack the first of December, and I thought I was going to die! They kept me 24 hrs. in the hospital to check my heart, but eerything looked ok. I think I had a panic attack because I ran out of Ambien and the pain meds at the same time, and I just didn't know what to do,... so I had a panic attack. After that, my husband both stopped taing the Vicodin for the first time in a year. We stayed clean for about 3 months, and my husbands back hurt so much that he had to get a script for Vicodin to be able to work, he was in such pain! Needless to say, I "put my hand into the cookie jar."
Well, as of June 1,2004,(our 13th wedding anniversary), we have had no pain meds and hope and pray that we wont be tempted. Melvin has his back epidural injections on Friday, so maybe he'll be pain-free, also.
Sorry to unload all this on you. I just needed to talk to someone. I just wish I knew the "magic date" that I would get all my energy back and be "me" again. Oh, well....
Please email me for ANY reason. I love my email buddies!
