Pain doc wants me to try to detox from home for 1st few days & see how it goes so he knows what action to take next....really sedated rapid detox, detox clinic, etc)...and go from there. I have withdrawn from opiates back in 2008 & it was horrible & made the RSD so much worse. It was during that time when my RSD spread to my foot. We discussed using Suboxone, but he was not a fan of it bc he said I would just have to come off the Suboxone next since I cant take it forever & that would not be fun & I believe him. I have a few friends w/ past substance abuse issues that take it to stay clean & when they dont have it they get really sick to the point that they may as well be coming off opiates. Also, suboxone is EXTREMELY expensive & my insurance does not cover it. I already take Xanax, so I will have that to help that process. Also, they are gonna give me Clonidine to help, but doubt I will be able to take it bc last time I took it my BP got WAY too low & I had to quit it immediately. But, I will give it a try. My BP on a normal day is usually 90/60. Doc did say that the difference bw Opana & Oxy was enough that the withdrawals would be severe. Guess I will just have to play all this by ear & just see what happens day by day. Thanks for the advice!!! Please let me know if you think of any other info!!!
