I took Trazadone for years as a sleep aid....I might start taking it again.

I am going to seriously work on reducing my pain med intake...I'm almost certain I have Endocrinopathy, opioid induced, and God knows what else!

Oh, I got a referral to a shoulder replacement dr....should be seeing him shortly. Let the good times roll.

What’s that? Endocrinopathy?

How was your visit to the eye specialist?

Not too good. He said "no treatment is available at this stage, and there is no way to know how fast it will progress".


I am starting weaning today...I have about a 20 year history with opiates and opioids, and I'm certain they are what's messing me up. I'm always cold, I have zero energy, etc.

I have an appt. with a shoulder surgeon in Syracuse March 1st....But I am going to have to wait 90 days after my last cortisone injection before surgery, so maybe around June or July I can have it replaced....and then I am going to work to get off opiates completely....again.

This "run" has been about 12 years...I was completely clean for 2 years before that...I sat with my mom for a month while I was detoxing off of suboxone (pure poison), as they pumped her full of morphine. Then started back up with just 20 mg a day...then 40....and now too much!!. No wonder my brain chemistry is a hot mess!!!!

I take Percocet and Xtampax now. Thru all my broken bones and rods in and out, I said no to anything strong. Knee replacement was just Tylenol I think.
I’m so thankful that I saved using them for days like these. They call me narcotic naive hehe.

Percoset 10's are what got me started again. They worked sooo great at just 4 a day...Then my asshat hip replacement doctor had me on 6 a day for over a year, and then I switched to pain management, and the first thing they did was took away the Percs and gave me instant release oxy for the day and OC for night time. I actually do not even take all I am prescribed, but it's still too much, for too long.

I started the wean today, trying to drop about 20%...which will not be easy!!

I weaned off Suboxone 12 years ago, which is 50 times stronger than morphine, and it was living hell, for a long time. But I remember my temperature evened out...No more hot and cold flashes, my sex drive came back, and I felt human again, but it took a long time. Like a year or more!!

I seen on the news yesterday that they want to ease up on opioid restrictions . personally I don’t think this is the right move and they’re going backwards .

The whole country is in a serious opioid crisis, and I don't see it getting any better anytime soon.

Opiate addiction is, IMO, the toughest addiction to break. Meth and cocaine are a walk in the park comparatively. PAWS or post acute withdrawal from opioids, can and does last for years.

Doctors are beginning to wise up at least...Opiates are nothing to play with, but people are playing with them because the high is so great, at first....and they do give great pain relief at first. That's all they are really good for, is short term pain relief...Very short term!!
