is there any natural or other way to stop opiate wthidrawal?!!!!?

Question

My wife is being screwed around by her Dr.'s her doc got her addicted to oxycodone (an opiate like heroin\morphine), and she has been taking a high dose for about 2 years and when she came to him for help he put instant judjement on her and thinks shes some bad drug addict, and now she is out of her meds and going through extreme withdrawal does anyone have any ideas that may help aside from buying drugs on the street or going to the hospital cause the Dr. told the Hospital that shes a drug addict even though he put her on the meds in the first place .I know what he is doing is very wrong and he will be punished but I need immediate help any Idea's anyone Please!!!!

Thank you all so much some of you really helped one or two others answered out of ignorance but I thank you too for trying but for anyone else who this question and these answers may help it is not harder to quit smoking than opiates with smokes your just really uncomfortable for a while and it does suck but opiate withdrawal is pure hell with massive pain Imagine dying of lukemia and having nothing to stop the pain all you want is to die so the pain and everything else will go away and when death sounds good thats a real problem.
We did go to the Hospital with our evidence against her doctor and they did treat her and I made sure they treated her with respect and didnt judge her so things are OK for now but we still have to find an addiction specialist ASAP.And to anyone who thinks they are being mistreated by there doctor get all the paperwork,scan your prescriptions and never give up cause if he is doing something wrong he\she will be punished.
Thank you all

Answer 1

Ask the doctor to prescribe her some Tramadol. It is an opiate antagonist and will HELP with the withdrawal symptoms (although it wont take them away completely). Plus it is a NON narcotic and will still help w/ pain (which I am assuming is still a factor and is why she was on the opiates to begin with!)

Another thing that has helped me in the past is a herb called KRATOM! (Its technically not approved for human consumption). It works WONDERS! It will take away MOST of the symptoms including the shakes, upset stomach (diarreah), the aches and pains and the sweats!! You will have to do some research of your own on how much to take b/c I dont know how much your wife weighs, etc. But I am 125 lbs and about 10 of the 00 caplets is what I have taken in the past. At least she will be able to function and to SLEEP! Here is a link for that:

Lastly... FIND A NEW DOCTOR!! If your wife is suffering from chronic pain and NEEDS opiates to function then there is NOTHING wrong with that!! If she isnt using the narcotics to get high or for some sort of pleasure then she is NOT AN ADDICT!!! There is a HUGE differance btwn being an addict and being DEPENDANT on opiates!! Unfortunately in this day and age there are MANY people who DO abuse opiates for "pleasure" and because of it, those of us who ARE in pain and NEED the medication suffer!! Make sure that she knows that YOU believe in her and that at least YOU are on her side in all of this!!

Also... a doctor has NO RIGHT to just STOP giving her the medication! It is called ABANDONMENT and is actually ILLEGAL!! If she has been on high doses and the doctor simply cut her off for no reason then not only is he putting her health in jeapordy but he is also opening himself up for a lawsuit!! Make sure to find out what your RIGHTS are!!

I really hope that you find the help that you and your wife need and that she gets to feeling better soon. I have BEEN there and I KNOW firsthand how horrible things like this can be!! Its AWFUL how doctors treat people with chronic pain!!

Here is another couple websites that you might find useful! They have doctors listed who ARE caring and take people who have chronic pain and DO NOT judge or make them feel like addicts!

I will keep your wife in my prayers and if no one has told you yet.. you are a GOOD and CARING husband!!

Ask for a second opinion, and make sure you explain the situation in full. They may be able to put her on methadone, which is a synthetic opiate that has little to no euphoric side effects, but can help as a way to 'ramp down' from addiction. Worst case scenario though, just tough it out--the withdrawl effects fade in a week or two. Drink plenty of water though, because opiates tend to constipate the hell out of you, and the water will help get the plumbing going again. It's a lot easier recovering from opiate addiction that it is to quit smoking, I'll tell ya that much!!

Answer 3

She is not an addict unless she is exhibiting compulsive drug-seeking behavior, doctor shopping, or continuing to take the emdication despite negative cinsequences or harm to herself and/or her family. Otherwise, she is merely deoendant on the drug. Dependance does NOT make her an addict, it is a natural result of being on ANY medication for a long period of time. Addiction is a behavior issue. Diabetics are dependant on insulin and no one calls them addicts. You wife has a medical condition and needs narcotics to control it in the same way that diabetics need insulin to control their disease.

If she is exhibiting signs of addiction, she should go into rehab. They can safely use other medications to detox her from the Oxycodone with little or no discomfort. They will also require that she have therapy (which they will provide). This is extremely important, as addicts do not just decide to become addicts. There is an underlying emotional reason or reasons that they become addicted, and if they don't address that, they will definitely relapse.

If, on the other hand, she is NOT exhibiting behaviors associated with addictions, she is merely dependant. If her doctor refuses to continue to prescribe for her, she should get her records and see another doctor or go to pain management. In the meantime, go to the hospital and explain the situation to the ER doc completely. Generally a doctor will not cut a patient off completely if they have been on the meds for a long period time, they will taper them down... what reason did the doctor give for cutting her off like that? Did she do something to give him the impression that she's addicted? Did she doctor shop? As I said, doctors generally don't just cut patients off like that unless they have a reason, because it's inhumane.

Answer 4

Why did he stop giving her the medication. There has to be a reason. Whatever that won't help you now. As a doctor he shouldn't be doing this. You need to report him. If he did not want her on the meds any longer he has to wean her off slowly. It can be dangerous for her. Maybe you should take her to the hospital for right now. But I wouldn't let it go, when she feels better you shouldn't let him get away with this.

Answer 5

Here is what I suggest to get Your wife over the worst part of the withdrawals.

The following treatment will help her not go through such agony as you withdraw from the medication.

To help with the withdrawals take hot bathes with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts and soak for 30 minutes. The skin is the biggest organ of elimination and this will help pull out the drugs. Use a loofa to clean the pores and this will help pull the drugs out even faster.

Drink lots of water and 2c. a day of fresh carrot juice, to flush the medicine out of your liver. You can take 500mg of calcium and magnesium twice a day to help you relax.

Drink chamomile tea throughout the day and evening to help her stay calm and relaxed.

Use a powdered fiber supplement twice daily to pull the drugs out of her intestines where they can store.

Two of the questionnaires in this forum did follow this program to withdraw from drugs and it did help. I've enclosed a link where you can read their response to this program.

If you have any further questions please let me know,

Answer 6

Call around and see which clinic in your area has a program for withdrawal. In my area, the clinic uses drugs that are far less damaging to the body, to bring the withdrawal WAY down. Withdrawal is highly serious, and hard to cope with. My dr had taken me off a med I'd taken for 20 years, and I HAD to get help. I got it, legally, and totally controlled. I am really glad, as the headaches, chills, night sweats, trembling, all were horrible.

Answer 7

Those damn oxycodone are the most addicting stuff than metodone.kicking heroin is nothing compared to kicking oxys she really needs to go in to a hospital so they can help her out.you can sometimes have seizures behind these like with kicking methodone.I wish i could tell you to get something from the drug store but; there's not..her doctor should know you can;t just kick people off without a slow detox. I've been on methadone for pain and had to get off as i only had money for rent and food as i have a 10yr son...call a 24hr nurse at a hosp and she if she can help,,,good luck to your wife and thanks for being there for her; as it;s a rough road ahead,,,,,,,Shelly in Seattle ps if nessary go to a methodone clinic for a 30day detox...........lol

Answer 8

Call a rehab clinic, they will be able to help. I know that you don't want to think of her as an addict but if she's been on oxy for 2 years she is, a clinic will be able to give her meds that will help with withdrawl.

Any doctor who prescribes a narcotic to someone for a long period of time without a withdrawl plan and just quits shold be thrown out of the business.
