Thanks everyone. When I said I am an addict I wasn't just counting the Klonopin. I was addicted to Tylenol 3 when I was 15. I started off taking them as needed like the doc said. I then started to realize I felt damn good on them, so I popped them when the high started to go. 1 about every 2 1/2 hou...

I didn't think of it that way Ann. Thanks. I will do what I need to do to get off the Klonopin. If it takes months, then that's what it takes. I'm just afraid of the withdraws. I went through them when I was addicted to Tylenol 3 as a teenager. I went off those cold turkey. This time I will be weani...

Thanks Betty. I went off it when I was only taking .5 for a sleep study with no problem, but with being so addicted to it now...... :?: I don't look forward to this at all. I'm a former addict, so this really scares the crap out of me.

Weaning off Klonopin

I went to see the doctor today to get refills on my meds. The P.A. I usually see isn't there anymore so I had to see the regular doc. He asked how long I have been on Klonopin. I told him since June of '08. I'm taking 2.5 mgs every night. He said he don't like Klonopin because of how easy you can be...

NASCAR and Toyota contest

My sister Melinda has created 3 different race cars for a contest by NASCAR and Toyota. Here are the links. PLEASE vote for her.
They are also giving 100 key chains out to some of the voters, so if they
ask you to register, (Not sure if they do or not) but that is why.

When I do have so much pain that I get a Tylenol 3 from my mom (and that has to be a lot of pain) I take 200mg. I'm only 108 pounds. Doctor proscribed me 200 mg every 4 hours as a teenager after surgery. I was 88 pounds then.

It doesn't sound unkind, and I'm not offended. I asked for help, and that is what you all have done. I think when I posted I was feeling sorry for myself. I have thought a lot about it today, and have read what you all have said. I do need to get past it, be glad my mom took the pills from me that d...

Mack, complaining never got you anywhere when I was a kid. I could have set her down, but I felt so horrid at the time I guess it never crossed my mind. Susan, I was addicted. By the end of day 5 at home I hardly had any pain at all. I loved the way I felt on the pills. Sitting here thinking about t...

What do I do?

When I was 15 I had to have my top right rib removed do to it growing together with my collar bone. It was cutting off blood flow and the nerves. I was given Tylenol 3 with codeine for the pain, to be taken at home. Every 4 to 6 hours I think it was. I ended up addicted to them. My mom realized it o...

I see everyone's points. I didn't question her. She has always been willing to do whatever tests I have asked for. It was my idea to do the MRI that found I have the chronic sinusitis. I can't get back in till next month, but I will insist on getting tested.
