In the meantime, I am glad you are weaning from the meds, just take it easy with the after effects, and remember, you may need Librium to come down slowly after the last opiate, followed by careful observation in case you slip into post med depression as I did.
The life in the everafter of blessing is wondrous, and I am living so busily it is truly a release from the imprisonment of pain as one rejoins the world at large.
Prayin for ya and for Neko

Hey Mark - funny you should mention that...I have talked to my pain doc repeatedly about this forum and all of you SCS'ers...and I think it would be awesome to get some of you from this forum to post over there at times once we get it up and running. The whole goal is to have a easily accessible forum in which both patients AND Drs can post procedures, experiences etc. I am really excited to be doing this with her - and that is the main reason I have not been able to put my video up here. I am not sure what the "internet rules" are...but I would LOVE to be able to have a visible link back to this forum, if possible. You guys are a great bunch...and your experience and compassion for others is very heartwarming
Oh yea - and thanks for the warning Mark...having weaned down once before - I have a bit of a notion as to what lies ahead. The good thing (for me at least), is that the one opiate I am still on is Nucynta...which has NRI properties, and thus acts somewhat as an antidepressant as well as pain killer. That med alone has made tapering off the Opana a lot easier! But it is always good to know there are others here who have been through it all - and if the time comes to stop all of my meds, I know where I will be coming for support
