In reply to hydrocodone, stupidity, and me...., posted by CarolAnn on October 16, 2000, at 9:17:36
> Hello all! I've been dealing with TMJ problems for some time now, and have been prescribed hydrocodone. Does anyone have experience with 'coming off' this drug? I'm not taking that much, so when I ran out, I didn't get a refill right away. The next night(after one full day w/o it), was a nightmare. I couldn't even attempt to go to sleep. My joints (esp. my fingers) had this horrible itching feeling, and I couldn't be 'still'. The next night was the same, but by the third night, I was better. I still have major pain, and am a huge wimp, so I really need prescription pain meds. Anyone have ideas for something better or something less difficult to 'stop' taking? Thanks ya'll! CarolAnn
I have been on long term pain meds for chronic pain. I have my doctor alternate between percacet, vicodin, darvocet, etc.etc. so I don't get to tollerant and hooked on one kind. just a thought.
