lorcet addiction?
Question by minnis0610: lorcet addiction?
ok guys were im form they have pain managment clinics .one of my buddys told me since i was having back trouble to go check one out. i went in told them about my problems and they prescribed me lorcet10/650 and somas along with xanax. now ive been taking xanax for 8 years now around 3 mg a day with out any troubles , my question is is ive been taking these lorcet 10/650 around 2 to 3 a day because overall they just make me feel good.i have since come to the realization that these”pain managment “clinics are really just a legal way to prescribe narcotics. and im wondering what kind of side effects am i looking out if i just want to quit them. ive heard the withdrawels are terrible ,like puking and diarreaha along with stomach cramps. while i dont think my addiction is severe,i do believe there is one there is 3 10/650s a day a lot and what am i looking outg if i quit cold turkey or does anyone have any advice because i cant afford to miss work or be sick an extended period of time

First and foremost, pain management clinics are a legal way to prescribe narcotics because there are people who NEED the pain control. Since you have back trouble I’m sure you understand the feeling of desperation that comes from pain. Second, luckily you are on a rather “small” dose of pain killers in relation to people who are much farther into their addiction. This is good because the withdrawl will be relatively easy compared to someone who takes more opiods than you are. Now I don’t suggest you quit cold turkey because you will experiance W/D’s and you may feel worse then you expected. The best way to do this is 1. talk to your doctor first about getting off the drugs and 2. your doctor will probably have you taper down from the dose you are on now in the next couple of weeks. By tapering down the dosage you will safely get off the medication with less of the withdrawl symptoms. If you aren’t willing to talk to a doctor about this there is one other option and its rather drastic but some people swear by it. It’s called the Thomas Recipe. Type it into yahoo or google and take a look at it. I don’t suggest you do this one but its up to you. Good Luck.
