I really just need to get this off my chest. About 5 years ago I fell on a metal spike it damn near killed me. Well over the past 5 years I was subscribed Opiods (lortab hydracodone oxcotone morphine you name it there all opiods and I have taken them all. I wanna warn everyone about the dangers of these medications. They are great when you are hurting bad but you cant take them forever.
To start off I wanna say how addictive these medications are. 60 percent off all the people that take opiods get addicted. They say if you take 3 a day for a week you will have a slight addiction to them. Its just slight. The problem is you start taking 3 a day and they make you feel great but then you realize that great feeling that you had doesnt last as long as it used to. So know you take 4 a day then 5 then 6 and so on and so forth. Till you are hardcore addicted to them. I was up to 20 a day. I spent all my money on getting them from anywhere and everywhere. That happy felling they used to give goes away and all you are left with is needing to take so many pills a day just to stop you from having withdraw feelings.
Getting off the pills is the hardest the withdraw is terrible. You get vomiting diarrhea RLS depression cant sleep and the pains is horrible. Last but not least you get uncontrollable cravings for the drug. Its life being hungrey all the time and only one thing can stop it and you know what this one thing and its so hard not to go back to using.
There is one thing that I wanted to mention in 20 percent of the people that get addicted it get sever depression and can cause bipolar personality. I believe I am one of these 20 percent. My depression didnt start till after I was on the medication for over a year. I couldnt leave my bed for anything. I couldnt go out and meet new people. It killed my sex drive. I didnt want to have anything to do with women or sex. All I wanted was to make sure I had my pills ready and available.
I am now 14 days clean and I feel great. I have another 4 weeks of major withdraw to go through then I should be in the clear. Since I stopped taking my life has really improved. I guess the moral of the story is be careful. Dont ever take that extra dose even if you suffering stick to the normal dose. Dont ever go over it because it will just end in a vicious cycle. Please be careful!!!
Ps. When I first started taking the medication I remember saying "I dont have an addictive personality Ive never been addicted to anything in my life" Well I was wrong dead wrong. These medications just make you feel so great and all you want is that feeling to never end. Well it does end. It ends with addiction. You become a different person then you used to be and its just not worth it.
Well thats it for me. Forgive all the spelling and grammer errors I am horrible at anything to do with spelling and grammer.
