Diarrhea while NOT in opiate withdrawal?
I am a chronic pain patient that is prescribed Hydrocodone 10 500 for pain. Today I woke up with stomach cramps, and pure liquid diarrhea has had me bed ridden for the entire day. This is odd to me, as I am usually constipated due to the opiate pain medication. I have slight stomach upset, but not vomiting....just coming from the other end yes I know...GROSSS . Additionally I have taken 4mg of immodium today, along with my normal opiate dose....and still no relief.Side note. My doc prescribed me the lowest dose of xanax recently, and I took it for 3 days as prescribed for anxiety...decided that it was not for me....and discontinued taking the xanax. Could I be in BENZO withdrawal after only 3 days? If so....it sounds kinda odd.

My boyfriend had a terrible ATV accident and has been having back pain ever since. He has no medical insurance, so he hasn't been able to go to the doctor. Here and there, friends started sharing their Rx painkillers with him...Lorcet, Lortabs, etc. Now he can't stop. The bad thing is that my boyfriend has an usual gag reflex when taking pills orally, so he's been snorting them. This has been going on for about 6 months now. I know that he really wants to stop, but he doesn't want anyone to know. Plus, he can't won't go to a doctor. I know it won't be easy, but we are going to do this at home...together. What are some things I can safely do at home to help him with the withdrawal symptoms? Also, how long will it take for the symptoms to subside?

Help with opiate withdrawal symptoms!!!?
Hey everybody, I am recovering from an opiate addiction. Wow, thats the first time I've admitted this.. I work in healthcare, so I know how to manage my opiate withdrawal symptoms aches, sweats, insomnia, etc . I guess what I really need is to hear from somebody out there in the world that has gone through this before that will tell me.. YES, IT WILL BE OK, I'VE BEATEN THIS MONSTER AND SO CAN YOU . I get my medicine the legal way, through my physician, but I don't take the medicine as prescribed. What should last me two months only lasts me a month or less. I would take the pills to feel happy, energetic, hopeful, and my recreational use over time turned into a rip roaring physical dependancy. Whenever I was going to be around people to have a good time, I would take the pill s to feel happy and be a fun person to be around. Now I feel that I can't enjoy life anymore without the meds...will the cravings ever go away?

Will Tramadol help my painful opiate withdrawal?
I am getting off of Vicodin and I am starting to go through withdrawal. I read that Tramadol helps ween people off other pain killers such as Vicodin. I am also concerned about the possiblity of seizures. I've read Tramadol can cause seizures. I have never had a seizure though and I took Tramaol for 20 days about a year ago & never had a seizure from it. Has anyone been in this same situation I'm in? Withdrawal and taking Tramadol to ease it? No I cannot go to a doc at this time. No money, no insurance so I cant just walk into a hospital or doc office at this time. So that isn't an option for me. I just need some good advice and hopefully from someone with experience. Thank you so much. Help and answers will be much appreciated.
