Hi Shadow,
Unfortunately I do not know anything about those 2 drugs you mentioned.
I guess my first question(s) would be, what is it that you are taking the pain medication for, and are you under the direction of a good doctor.
Quite often, we can start taking drugs (doesn't matter what type), to mask a pain, whether it's physical or emotional. We get so used to feeling 'better', that we continue to use these drugs, whether they are necessary or not, because we prefer to feel good (obviously). So, are you taking these to ease the original pain, or are you taking them because when you stop, you feel lousy? If it's the first reason, then you should be having a good talk with your doctor to see if anything else (besides drugs) can be done. If it's the second reason, then perhaps a detox centre and then rehab would be the answer. But again, I'd suggest speaking with your doctor.
Addiction can be physical or psychological (or both), and withdrawal requires a strong will to succeed. If there is a physical addiction, then I'm afraid that you are going to have to go through a few really tough days while the body rids itself of the toxins. After that, it's purely the mind at work, and that's where YOU have to be strong and get your mind around the fact that you do NOT need to take drugs to survive.
I've been clean for 9 years now (Heroin), but it hasn't been an easy journey, and I'm not going to say to anyone that it will be easy. But as each day goes by - and yes, it's still a day by day thing, it does get easier.
Anyway, I wont prattle on now. If you could get back to us with answers to those couple of questions, then we can take it from there.
The exciting thing for you though is that you are seeking help, and that, and talking about it (in my view) are 2 of the biggest hurdles on the road to freedom.
Look forward to hearing back from you.
