IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE TAKEN WAY TOO MANY NARCOTICS, HERE'S HOW YOU MAY BE ABLE TO DECREASE NARCOTIC DOSAGES. JUST SO WE DON'T END UP PUTTING TOO MUCH STRAIN ON OUR ORGANS AND GO INTO CARDIAC ARREST!

I have pain everyday too, and have been on the meds daily, but at some point, your body just gets used to all of these narcotics and starts to require MORE and MORE just to handle the pain! In fact, if you don't keep up with the schedule of meds, it will INFLICT pain upon you...

About 3 years ago, I had to hit the 'RESET' BUTTON in order to keep these narcotics from being a problem....
In just 5 years of rarely taking meds, I started with Hydrocodone, then Fentanyl, then Oxycodone, then Demerol, then Morphine, then finally, Methadone....By the time I was on Methadone at the end of the 5 year period, I felt like this whole thing was getting out of hand...I was in pain everyday, but goodness, these doctors seemed to be giving me something different all the time after one drug stopped working...And all the while when I tried to use anything herbal, herbs wouldn't work because I was on all of those narcotics.
So I decided to tell my doctor that I was feeling MUCH better and to ween me off the Methadone narcotic, and you know what, he INCREASED my dosage!
So I decided to just ween myself off slowly and DETOX, DETOX, DETOX, those meds out of my system so that I can start over again....I did successfully start over after 1 month of detoxing and much pain from the narcotics fighting me, but finally I won!! And for 3 years straight after that I didn't have to take ANYTHING for pain but something herbal.
And now I'm at the point where I take Moltrin everyday, so I feel myself going BACK up the narcotic ladder again, because monthly I have to take Hydrocodone again sometimes...But as a rule, I try HARD not to take anything EVERYDAY...That way my body doesn't start expecting it, and I can stay out of the hospital needing painkillers as much as possible...I am now having to go for transfusions 3 times a year, and have been in the hospital 3 times within a year's time.

Hope this helps all for trying to cope with all these meds, because we don't want our heart to shutdown and go into cardiac arrest from all these narcotics, ya know?

Detox info...Find a place like this in your town that does Ionic Foot Bath Detoxes, and I did this once a week for a month--http://www.bluemedspa.com/detox.php

Thank you for sharing this. It might be helpful to someone. I'm glad that you have found a regimen that works well for you.

How did you start weaning yourself off the meds? I take 13 diff meds a day for my RA and SCD and I can’t stand it. I feel worse most of the time but the Dr does advise me to stop taking my meds. They tell me it takes time and I need to just keep taking the meds so they can kick in. but the longer I go the more I feel worse.
