Breakthrough pain is withdrawal period. ANd beleive me I know, been there. Anyone anyone that is given a run of pain pills for a lenght of time are addicted, but you can't give opiates to an addict. But it is okay in pain management, these people are full blown physically dependant. Physically dependant, breakthrough pain, is the all terms but when one opiate don't work switch to another, hence breakthrough meds, these people are crashing off their dose that no longer works, even in a 12 hour period. why is this different? Is it just Legal issue's, so no one was ever in a rehab, they can legally withdraw from opiates, which they do , "and use their breakthrough, Breakthrough pain is the real joint, all over body pain that happens when their meds are not working, hence WITHDRAWAL! Don't tell me it isn't!And they naturally don't get the runs, flu symptoms because they have other opiates to not let that happen.
