I almost died in March from a emergency colon resection after my doctor cut my bow during a scope to take pictures of interstitial cystitis to check for more endometriosis. It is taking me seven months but I have weaned myself off of 100 µg fentanyl patch I came home with. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I’m 45 years old and trying to raise two boys. My husband has several very busy businesses and I’m pretty much bedridden most days from the withdraws. I don’t think I can do this another six months to try to get off the Dilaudid. The withdrawal symptoms are so bad. I’ve been on opioids now for three years. I started on Percocet than methadone then after the emergency surgery the fentanyl and Dilaudid. But as I said I’m only taking the delighted now as well as Lyrica and a 5mg Valium a couple times a day to help with bladder spasms and truth be told anxiety and withdrawal symptoms. I never ran out of my medicine early. I never abused it. I am in counseling and have been for two years so I do you get therapy but I don’t feel I need drug treatment I just need to detox and I no longer have the strength to do it at home.
