I need advice on what I should take on withdrawls!!!!!

Well, first off, I dont recommend self medicating, Butrans has it's own side effects that can be very dangerous if not titrated up in stages, plus the Butrans is not Norco, it will not relieve any withdrawal, since it is a different medication. Potassium tends to help a little with some withdrawal aches, bananas are a good source. That's about the extent of my knowledge, I'm sorry you're having to go through this, I really don't know what would help in your situation, I know when I quite smoking, the first week was absolutely brutal, but the physical withdrawal eased up a lot after that point, mostly just cravings and a real mental battle after that, but then again, I didn't smoke for pain relief.

Hopefully someone will come on here that will have some better ideas, I know how hard it is to take care of a little one when your constantly battling pain, but I'm not too helpful with withdrawal. Perhaps some OTC sleep aids might help you through the night, but I'm not sure.

I hope you're able to get this taken care of, good luck and God bless.

Hi manda09. Today is a new day, may not feel like it for you if you've been up most of the night like me, just did way too much yesterday, between a pm appointment, and later chasing my PM all over Bakersfield for hours trying to get my prescription filled out properly, I learned the hard way yesterday, every box has to be filled in, and it has to be in the doctor's handwriting, not to mention 6 trips to the back of costco, given that I can barely walk, that's quite a bit.

You might feel like someone drug you through a rock quarry and left you in the ring with George Foreman afterwards. It will pass, but I know it doesn't feel that way right now.

You may find some help for your day from an energy drink. If you do choose that route, I recommend not more than a 16 oz Monster low carb, it has a very limited amount of sugar, but enough to keep you hydrated, and has a lot of b vitamins that will help, and the sugar content is low enough to not render a sugar crash. I would drink half at breakfast, and half at lunch, no more than that, even if your a huge caffeine junkie like me, too much will get your heart rate really going, which would make any withdrawal worse.

I'm not sure if I'm actually allowed to recommend a specific thing like that on here, but I think the vitamin content in it will really help you today, anything else is just gonna be a can of straight sugar, and make you drop through the floor after a few hours.

I also am a single parent, I have a two year old son, I know the responsibility that you are facing, and I know what it's like to look in your childs face, and feel completely helpless, and hopeless, because pain has you by it's firm, unrelenting grip, I'm a grown man, generally known as a man's man, and its enough to bring me to tears on many occasions.

It sounds like this terrible ordeal will not last long, I know how much of an eternity a month can seem, just take it one day at a time, and even one minute at a time if need be, try not to think of the long term, instead focus on what can I do right now to occupy my mind.

Hope you have a better day today, and you're able to find something to laugh at, try picturing a grown half crippled man, bumbling about, trying to take care of a two year old, still in diapers (thats me lol) that oughta give you something to laugh at. Take care, and I hope it gets better for you.
