Hi,
All I can say is, none of us, that I know of, that are sucsessful with getting clean and STAYING clean were able to do it on our own. It's a WE program.
Asking for help is a step you can be proud of. Remember, it's a desease! Asking for help and going to meetings is our medecine! Be honest with your doctor and he will recomend the right thing for you to do. But, honesty will be the only thing that gets you the right answer.......Good luck & God Bless..Bob

if your anything like me it is like second nature to just spit out a lie when it comes to doc pulling out that script pad.....just remember before you even step thru the door why you are doing this......it might even help if you took some support along with you like a family member you are close to or a good friend

hi needhelpbad,
I am having trouble figuring out which message came first on this board. today is 3/15/04, Monday.
Have you gone to the Dr. yet?
Your situatiuon is so very similar to mine. I am a mom who loves her Ultram aka: happy pills. A little here, a little there and before you know it, I was taking it first thing in the am just to get going. It made everything just a little bit easier even nicer. ...Happy.
Well, after I got to so many pills every day, i got scared...tried to get off on my own...taper ( didn't work)...cold turkey...
I guess that is where i am today.
But I finally found an MD. to help and I will see him in about an hour or so. He thinks the bupenephrine (spelling?) or bupex will help with these terrrible, terrible, horrible withdrawal cravings and the tiredness...that is the hardest thing.
I get breathless doing the smallest of tasks...like brushing my hair or walking from one room to another.
We sound so similar, I just had to write. I'd like to know how you fair. I'll let you know how my MD appointment goes.

To Cari - thank you for the information - that is probaly the best advice I have had so far. you are right about not even being able to up to brush your hair. I always take them first thing in the morning to get me going and then I will take a few more in the evevning.I hope my doctor will help. I am nervous about going - I love taking them because I don't get high I just feel good and I can do everything better when I take them. Hown long were you on ultrams and how is your recovery doing? If you want we could exchange e-mail address because I think we both are going through the exact same thing and it is nice to talk about it - talking makes it easier ( a little)
Cari - my e-mail is jennifercruise07@yahoo.com
