Just wondering... reading these posts, it seems like a lot of us with addictive personalities also have restless leg syndrome. Just coincidence? Anyone know if there have been any studies linking the two?

Reading all the horror stories about withdrawal from opiates makes me question whether getting off all pain meRAB is even possible for me. People have a hard time detoxing after only months, taking 1/4 what I have, and I've been taking them for 15 YEARS! Add to that the fact that I am 59 yrs...

It's great to know you're feeling better! I was really worried about you...sounRAB like you've been through the wringer. It's time for things to turn around for you and have some good luck, for a change! If there's such a thing as karma, you're golden! So happy your mom is doing better, too...

I haven't posted in awhile, but I've been keeping up with everyone's progress. It's so encouraging to read the recovery stories - there's something to be learned in every story -- And it helps motivate me to keep tapering (yeah, I'm still at it!) Many of the posts are so inspirational -...

This afternoon I almost did it - I had myself convinced that it didn't matter if I took just one more today - that it would only be a little slip -- that I deserved it after all the work I'd been doing, blah, blah.... But I kept thinking that it's the opiate demons talking. They were doing a...

Hi GoodGuy - welcome! I am also new here, but I will give you my 2 cents. I think I keep using, despite all the reasons I know I shouldn't, because deep down I don't like myself. I feel inadequate. Other people see me as this capable, kind and thoughtful person, but I don't feel that way...

Well, I'm continuing my slow taper, but today I found myself thinking that I just can't do this - it's too hard to taper in the holiday season - even slowly - and that maybe I should wait...but I remerabered how all of you have said you have to fight through those urges, and I did. BUT, I am a...

Hi everyone, I guess I'm having the same problem as some others here. I'm having a hard time dealing with the pain that has come with reducing my oxy intake.I'm stuck at 40mg and am having trouble going lower. 800mg ibuprofen isn't enough for the pain anymore. I don't know if the pain is...

I've worked out a tapering plan - a very slow one - about 10% every 5-7 days for the percocet and oxycontin. With the holidays coming up, I'm not aiming for anything drastic. I think I'd be better off making the taper slow but steady, rather than dropping faster, and then probably having to...

I have been taking percocet for about 15 years. I hate myself. Only my husband and prescribing doctor know how much i take - oh, and the people at the pharmacy. It is humiliating to have to face them so often. Presently I take 8-10 10mg percocets a day - along with 2 20mg oxycontin tablets...

Here's the deal, I recently bought a used Palm Pre off of Ebay. Somewhere along the way the phone lost the button on the side to toggle the volume. Is there any way I can replace this? Can I buy a new one somewhere...?Will Sprint replace it since it isn't insured....I'm sure they would but...
