Pain Killers Withdrawal, how you guys deal with it.

[F.u.Crohns]

I'm currently tapper down on my pain pills and there was time where I forgot to take my pain pills and my body will go into crazy withdrawal. I was wondering if anyone that went through opiate withdrawal what did they use to help fight the WD symptoms?

Thanx!:ghug:

Before I was diagnosed with Crohn's, I was on six different medications, none of which had any relationship to my symptoms and which made me feel dopey all the time, because no-one knew what was wrong with me. I'm sure that some of them thought that it was "all in my mind".

I decided to give all medications up "cold turkey", which I would not advise anyone to do but I felt that I had no choice. I had a month of extreme withdrawal symptoms - I was fortunate that a friend knew a sports masseur and he drove me there every morning for a massage, then I went home and soaked in a hot bath, then went to bed.

It was a hard time but worth it.

I've had to take Oxy a few times in my Crohn's journey. Each time, getting off is horrid, even if it is just a low dose. There is not much you can do, just go slowly and sleep as much as you can. It can also help to exercise a bit (very mildly) if possible. If your withdrawal symptoms get too bad call your doc. I wish you luck! Keep us posted.
