Hi everyone
Right to the point. I have cervical nerve impingement, a herniated cervical disc and other neck-related problems. About 5 months ago I began waking up with pain all over my body almost every morning. I soon began taking a half of a Lorcet 10/650 tablet every few days when the pain would get really bad but sometimes I would find myself taking a half of a Lorcet almost every day. Then I would go off of the Lorcet for a several days and then back on it again...back and forth. I never really felt like I was "addicted" during this time.
Eventually (and for whatever reason) the pain subsided (remission?) but I continued to take a half of a Lorcet every other day or sometimes for several days in a row because it made me feel good and it made me feel happy, motivated and I tended to get a lot more done when I was taking it. When I would go off of it for a few days I never felt like I had to have it or like I was experiencing cravings or withdrawal symptoms.
Fast forward to the present and it's been two days since I have taken my last Lorcet. Yesterday my room mate and myself got into an argument over something kind of silly and I completely over-reacted by getting so angry that I flew into a rage and flipped over the kitchen table. Once I had cooled off a bit, I got really panicky because I was thinking "what the heck is wrong with me???". Then, this morning (and over something very simple) I got really angry again and said a lot of very vicious and nasty things. Once I had cooled down, I was thinking "wow, I must be losing it or something!!". I have also noticed that I am constantly having negative and angry thoughts about things that I would normally not even be thinking about and I feel really spacey and out-of-it and my level of anxiety has increased.
My question is pretty simple....is this the normal reaction from Lorcet withdrawal?. Sometimes I just feel like a wild-man and other times I feel like I'm about to lose it at any moment.
Help please!!
