Dear CBlue

As far as your husband throwing out the pills, at least we know now he is going to be sensitive to your problem, and you won't have to deal with having pills in the house.

However, you are now in detox on your own - bad thing. you were taking opiates so pls do not wait to develop sx.

call your pdoc (PSYCHIATRIST) immediately to advise of the entire situation. make sure you tell him:
-- that your husband has disposed of all the pills
-- the type of medicine and daily dosage you were taking.
-- when your last dose was.

pdoc may advise you to do one of a variety of things based on the medicine and dosage you were taking, so be as accurate as you possibly can, and then follow his instructions.

Bottom line: Do not wait. tell the doctor NOW, that your husband has precipitated an unplanned and sudden detox.

IF you have not heard from pdoc and you get ANY sx - even if you think it's "in your head" - go to ER immediately. Do not hesitate, and do not drive - if there is no-one to take you immediately, call 911.

Also, I would prepare a list NOW of information ER will need, in case you should need to go, as follows:

RE: PAIN PILLS
- the medicine name,
- daily dosage and frequency,
- time and amt of last dosage

GENERAL
- list all existing medical conditions
- any other medication you normally take (bring bottles with rx if possible)
- any OTC medication you have taken
- GP name/phone
- PDOC name/phone

i am sorry if i am scaring you, better scared and safe though.

(((hugs))) and keep in touch
