well, keeping you posted as promised. because of my history of opiate addiction, i haven't told any of my family or friends about my current "relapse." it's nice to have somewhere to go to tell what's going on, even if it's a message board. just to re-cap, i have struggled with depression for years and i've been sober for the last 3 years plus. a couple weeks ago i got to feeling real desperate to feel like a normal human being, so i scored some vicodin. it worked great for a week or two, but over the past several days, the wheels have come off. i was up to 12-15 vicodin E.S. per day. then feeling strung out and constipated shortly after that. i cut back yesterday to 4 pills, but felt so bad today that i took a total of 9 pills throughout the day. i'm getting brief periods of relief after i take a few pills, but the rest of the time i feel that weird, horrible opiate withdrawal depression. it makes my regular depression seem like a walk in the park. all this in just a few weeks and with a relatively modest habit. i'm pretty scared. i'm thinking that tomorrow i'll call around and see if i can get in to see an "addictionologist" to get on buprenorphine on an out patient basis. i hope i can get into to see someone quickly.
