Question by cinamongrl4213: Detoxing 1& 1/2 month from Buprenex shot. Need stronger meds without Opiate. Ultram don’t work!!?
I have recently gotten off my Buprenex shots maintnece I’ve been for 2 & 1/2 years. I stopped cold turkey and it has been a month and half and I am still in so much discomfort and pain!! I have gotten off methadone, Heroin, but this has been the worst pain and discomfort I ever felt.!! My boyfriend is a non-addict. He cannot relate my physical pain and discomfort. . First I tried over the counter, Tylenol arthritis, Ibuprofin, Tylenol sleep etc. He don’t want me even to take these. He think I will get “addicted”. Now after endless argument that I need more stronger prescribed meds. I told it will will non-narcotic and I got Ultram & he sees Narc., he flips!. It does not work, and he still tells me I am abusing it!! I am not taking Opiate meds, there is a difference!!. I need answers for him on difference from Percocet or Dorvocet. I know all to well, but to him I am my “own pharmacy”!! The pain is so bad sometimes I want to sleep & never wake up!! Thanks!!
