Needless to say, this has worsened my depression and made me addicted to the drug. Every time I try to withdraw by 300-400mg the very next day I am in agonizing convulsions: chest pain, panic, double vision, nausea, etc. I am feeling so **** hopeless. I want so desperately off of this drug but my doctor just says take off 400 every few days and you will not experience any withdrawal. He's kidding, right? Is there anyone who can suggest what to do? Am I doomed to 6-10 months of slow withdrawal off this drug just because I have taken it for only a month?! I have all the ReMag. Epsom salts, NeuroEndure, JNK but nothing seems to work. Is it possible to withdraw from this *****? Please help.
dear fellow sufferer of chronic pain
i hear you screams of frustration
i suffer with chronic pain that my surgeon
just swept me under the rug like i
was a piece of dirt
and to stay on point
being a recovering alcoholic for over 20 years
and only a fellow addict be able
to understand my choice of drug
was alcohol i am now a slave to meds
as you talk of because
if i miss one dose i start withdrawal
and the medicine i am on is a direct
result of my ever so screwed up surgery
i wish i did not have to have the second surgery
that when my life ended as i knew it
E V E R Y T H I N G HAS CHANGED LIVING
I C O N S T A N T P A I N
YOU READ RIGHT SWEPT ME UNDER THE RUG
WHILE I HAD MY BREASTS REMOVED AS I FOUND
A LUMP
HE NEVER CONTACTED ME WHY I YET TO FIND
OUT
I AM BEING TAKEN TO COURT
HE IS SUING ME FOR THE BALANCE
OF THE FAILED SURGERY

I WILL INTEND TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
FOR NOW I HAVE TO TAKE MED THAT
PERSONS SEEK A "HIGH" FROM
TO BE IN RECOVERY AND FOR MY MEDS
OF WHICH I NEVER ABUSED FOR OBVIOUS
REASONS


WILL BE FOREVER A SLAVE TO DRUGS THAT
YOU JUST CANNOT STOP
AND FOR THOSE LIKE YOURSELF
I EMPATHIZES WITH YOUR WITHDRAWAL DILEMMA

i believe doctors do such things
as getting them hooked
to may have to loose in this corrupt world

i wish you comfort in having to go
through this because doctors aren't all
about the oath they took
