Q: Ex painkiller addict

Did you hit rock bottom when the pain got so bad, you could take all the pills in the world and your pain would not go away. It just got worse and worse and you thought what is wrong with me? What kind of illness do I have that makes me feel so sick and in so much pain? Then you start vomiting, got constipated, sweats and headaches. You just took more pills, but it would not work and your life was a total mess, because every part of your body, especially your back was in PAIN. It felt like what you would of imagine a cancer patient are going through. It took me 15 months to realize it was the painkillers that made me so sick and not fibromyalgia.

I know exactly what you are talking about. In my last days of use, I was wondering what could make a 19 year old so constantly sick, not the fact that it was probably the unnecessary fentanyl patch on my back making me vomit and black out. Im glad you are an EX addict. PK's are no joke.

I am on subutex for nearly a year now. I am currently on 4mg and take clobazam for anxiety. A year to be on subutex/subuxone is rather long, but my pschiatrist said he recommends a maintenance dosage.
