Thank you for sharing your ordeal....sorry to hear it's been such a rough go.
You've got my support!
One of the things that stuck out the most in your post was the "Paradoxal Pain Syndrome" wow ! I betchya anything that's exactly what i'm dealing with! It's such a cycle of madness man!! It gets to a point where i don't know for sure which is my original neuropathy and which is the 'rebound' pain that the meds do...
So, that's precisely why i'm gonna try my best to get off the pain meds....
But Lord have mercy the minute i can tell withdrawal starts setting in and that awful feeling of dread/anxiety/depression/guilt.....just totally consumes me and i can't do it! And THAT's just the MENTAL part! I can tell that the physical part will totally do me in......i admit to being a wimp
I was thinkin that the Xanax will help me get over the hardcore Fentanyl, but reading your post makes me re-think...... yikes!
Keep in touch and keep me updated on your success and thanks again for your time and empathy!
