Howdy Guys,I ain,t gonna get out the soapbox and start a 12-step sermon or anything,but,if I may suggest a starting point that is worth considering.First,I don,t know your situation,but mine had to do with the fact that I had developed a liking for the "warm-fuzzy"Opiate feeling early on,as a teen,when I was given Percocet for a tooth extraction.It turned out that years later,after several accidents,broken bones,vertabrae,disc trouble,etc.,I ended up HAVING to take Opiates,just to get out of bed and work.This sorta took away the"warm-fuzzy feeling"and it made everything change.I got up to over 700mg. of Oxycontin every day,just to delay pain onset.If you,ve ever heard from folks that take Oxy,it begins to wear off after several hours and the cravings start,except this time they are followed by terrible pain,as well.At near $1,800.00 a month(after my insurance got snuffed),I had no choice but to switch to Methadone.It was the best thing I coulda done.Not only does it ease my pain,it took away the Mental anguish of those awful cravings.I,m able to get a month,s worth for about 50 bucks.My Pain Doc said many of his patients lost their insurance and had begun Methadone and were doing well with it.Anyway,it is an option worth looking into.Good-Luck!Festus
