Hey all. Long time lurker, first time posting. History: 10 year opiate user for severe chronic head and neck pain. 8 brain surgeries, 1 spinal fusion. My real problems started last year when my doc had to drastically cut my dosages due to all the new federal and state regulations. I figured out that snorting my IR meds made them more potent and gave me amazing energy. I did this within my prescribed amounts for 6mo or so... then I started running out early. Fast forward another 6mo and I'm running out WAY early. I realize I have a problem. I'm trying to give them up completely. I'm tired of being a slave to my pills. I'm on day 5 of detox. Physically, the withdraws have gotten so much better but I have NO energy and I'm just laying around and my mind is all over the place. I have no desire to do anything and I am mentally beating myself up for how I feel. Does that even make sense to anyone else? When will I feel a bit more alive?
