opiate withdrawal
"I was severely injured in 2008. My L34 was snapped by a mental pt. at the state hospital I worked at for 27 yrs. It was christmas eve in the am. First I was on VIC'S, then the doc (he meant well), put me on OXY 5mgs. In between I was prescribed MORPHINE to try. Then we tried METHADONE. Then I was introduced to HEAVEN. Pure 20mg. OXYCONTIN tabs. I'll never forget the first morning I took the dose he prescribed 2 tabs every 6 hours.By the time I had a couple of cups of coffee, and got out of the shower I was "ROCKIN AND A ROLLIN" I was ready to go to work!!!!!!! 4yrs. later the party was over. He said NO more, he refered me to a methadone  clinic. I had to retire. The clonidine helps a bit. But I was given Tramadol,it's the answer!!"
