HELP.....getting off dilauded
I was on 10 mg of methadone 3 times a day for the last 8 months. After the side effects were so bad I almost died I called my Dr and told him I wanted off this stuff. He said I needed to come off slowly so he switched me to 4 mg of dilauded 3 times a day. After about 24 hours like this I ended up in the ER. I was in the hospital for a week. I was on 4 mg dilauded every 4 hours by IV and every 6 by mouth.
The Dr I saw in the hospital works with my Dr but he was not very nice infect calling me a liar that I was not having any withdrawals even though I was having terrible nausea and tremors and could hardly see and muscle spasms and pain and anxiety. He even sent me home with only enough dilauded xanax and nausea meds for 2 week. Even though I only get 3 prescriptions a month. I am now home and trying to get off dilauded. I am now today on 4 mg 4 times a day. But now experiencing pain in my back and joints. I have fibromyalgia and Marfan syndrome along with many others. I have heart rhythm problems and a few years ago had to have a dual chamber pacemaker in.
But after saying all of that what I want is to find people who have been or are going through what I am. I need HELP!!!!! I want to know the best way to get off these meds and live a productive life. I am a single disabled mom. Thank the Lord my kids are teens. Please let me hear from any and all who can help. God bless |
