Addiction to these opiate based drugs is
cause for serious concern and the number of people
affected continues to increase at alarming
rates.
Hello...
Do you or someone you know have
an Opiate addiction problem? The problem has
become so widespread that the numbers are truly Alarming.
One Hospital Based Addiction Specialist, an MD, once told
me that almost half the staff of Nurses and Doctors were
buzzing around, hooked on Opiates. It is completely
understandable to me now, now that I know the truth. What
most people do not know is how and why it
starts.
It mostly happens by accident
and
the Doctors mean no harm.
Most people start taking
Opiate-Based
Painkillers
for legitimate reasons. Usually some physical
trauma leads to a patient in pain. Most Doctors
will start the patient on a regime of low dose
Opiate-based painkillers and usually for a short
duration. The up-sides and the down-sides are very
similar in that Opiates are an extremely effective pain management
tool and have been for over a hundred
years. But, because they are so effective patients want
to have ongoing access to them. Having access to
medication that is readily available and
effective is a right that patients should
have. However, because these medications are so
effective the patient will continue to request
them.
How and Why the trouble
starts.
Since the medications we are
speaking about are so effective the patient will continue
to take Them. What quickly becomes evident is that
'the dose that seemed to control the
pain last week no longer does quite the same
job." This is called building up a tolerance,
and it is one of the most damaging side effects since it
leads to other things. At first it leads to the patient
asking for more and he is either given more or switched
to another type of opiate. This tolerance build up is
what begins to cause the Physical Addiction.
Opiates are Physically
Addicting,
which means that after the body is fed this type of drug
for a period of time, which differs from person to
person, the body can no longer function normally without
it. Leaving the addicted paitent to suffer from
withdrawal symptoms such as feeling really sick,
irritable, sweating/chills, and having sometimes
nasty mood swings. These withdrawal symptoms can last
from 2-3 days up to 6 weeks or more, depending upon what
opiate based drug the patient is coming off
of.
Why can't addicts just put up
with the withdrawal symptoms and stop taking the drugs
after the pain stops.
This is the part of the story
that some people have a problem with. You see not
only do opiates have very effective pain numbing
properties but in some people they are a most effective
mood elevator. In fact, years ago a number of cases of
depression where treated with opiates and the
results were very positive. However, because of the
physically addictive principles and the tolerance effect
it quickly became apparent that another type of
medication was needed to treat depression. But the fact
remained, it was a fast acting mood elevator that was well
tolerated.
Herein lies a problem that has
concerned doctors for decades. Self-Medication
. That is, when push
comes to shove the patients themselves, will take the
drug that makes them feel the best. Since Opiates act
very fast for mood elevation and depression it becomes
the first choice for the depressed patient(who knows that
opiates can help). Once a person with an addictive
personality gets a taste of what opiates can do for
depression it becomes very hard to quit. Feeling sad and
depressed sucks even for a couple of hours.
When an addict like me, knows there is a pill that
will make you feel great in 25 minutes or less it is
almost impossible to 'just
quit'. Especially
if I know I will feel great in mind and body!
Nobody wants to feel sick and tired
and
miserable
.
My
Story
My situation is not unlike many
others. Almost 6 years ago I was involved in a minor car
accident. I was struck from behind and I was left with a
minor case of whiplash. After seeing a few doctors and
doing some physical therapy I was ultimately prescribed
painkillers in the form of Percocets. This is not an
uncommon practice for people suffering minor back or neck
problems. I started taking the medication as directed but
it felt as though the one Percocet every four hours(the
prescribed dose) was not really helping the pain. I took it
upon myself to double up the dose and found that by doing this
the pain did in fact subside (self Medication). At best I had
relief from pain for only one to two hours after taking the
medication. So instead of taking 1 pill every four hours I was
taking 2. This seemed to keep the pain under some
control.
It also
made me feel
good
and very energetic
. But it seemed as though every day that went by, the
effect wore off quicker and quicker. So, again I increased my
dosage to three pills every four hours. It wasn't long
after that, the three pills turned into four, then five and so
on.
It
didn't take long for my prescription to run
out.
The doctor did give me another prescription for 60
more tablets. But at my current rate of consumption this
second bottle of pills only lasted about a
week.
The next call to the doctor was one of
disappointment as he refused to refill the prescription
and I was told to just tough it
out. Tough it out! I
was addicted!!! I was in no
position to tough it out, nor did I want to. It felt too
good.
I will be the first to tell you that I am no stranger to
recreational drugs. I've tried almost everything at least once
but nothing ever grabbed a hold of me like these
opiates. Not
even cocaine.
In fact I never even liked cocaine. But for some reason,
and it may be some chemical thing,
I could not control my craving for
opiates. Now, once I had a
full-fledged addiction, people began to notice.
I bet this sounds familiar to most of you. I was seriously
addicted and depressed. However, as long as I had my pills
everything seemed okay. My life now, was a series of ups and
downs. When I was on the
drugs I was feeling great, optimistic, confident and proud.
When the drugs wore off, I was depressed and angry at the
world and
although I'd thought about suicide, that was something that I
would just never do.
I began to
search...
My first attempt
at any type of rehab was at an out patient facility.
Although I liked the doctor that I was dealing with I did
not want to be involved with any group meetings.
I did not want other people to know who
I was and what I was addicted to, and
therefore I kept everything to myself and to my
psychologist who was working in the rehab center. I went
to see him two to three times a week. The urine tests
were random and voluntary. At first it seemed like I was
on my way out of this addiction. But as time went on the
random testing became less frequent and I was able to
time my usage so that the urine test would come up clean.
I was cheating. I thought I was cheating the doctor, but
ultimately I was cheating
myself.
During this time
is when I started to do intense research
regarding opiate addiction and how best to treat
it.
I stayed up late and
many nights searching the Internet and reading many
medical journals trying to find the best treatment for my
addiction.
I don't like using
the term disease because a disease is something that you
can not control and I was in complete control of what I
was taking and when.
After many weeks
of studying anything and everything I could get my hands
on I finally found what I thought would be a solution to
my problem. It
was a new treatment that just became available but very
few doctors even knew about it. I began to narrow my search and
ultimately found an addiction specialist at a hospital in
the Philadelphia
area.
The Magic Bullet
At this point in
my addiction I had moved from Oxycontin to Methadone. I
was not in a methadone CLINIC; I was getting Methadone on
the street from a friend of a friend. I went from taking
1 to 2, 80 mg Oxycontins per day to 10-20 mg of methadone
per day. This change alone seemed like a miracle. I only
needed one tablet a day and I was feeling fine. In
fact I was doing so well on the methadone
that I thought I was cured. It soon became evident that the
supply would not last forever and ultimately I was told
that after the last batch I bought there would be no more
available.
I timed this with
my first appointment with the Addiction Specialist at the
hospital. I met the doctor and he was great. I told him I
was taking 10 to 20 mg of methadone per day. He told me
what to do before the appointment. About one to two hours
before I arrived I began to have opiate withdrawal
symptoms. I was
scared and nervous and didn't know what to expect. After
meeting with the doctor for about 45 minutes and being
told what to expect I was given the 'Magic Bullet'
and It was
amazing.
I followed the doctor's instructions and it has been
almost 3 years and I have been free from all opiate-based
street and illegal prescription
drugs.
What this means to
you.
I am living proof that this little known
treatment works. And it truly does work like magic. It is
important to understand that the most important part of the
treatment is the way in which
it is delivered and for how
long.
