So quick update. A few months back I had fallen down some stairs and fractured my tail bone. I was in a lot of pain and the Dr. prescribed Oxycotin (sp) 15 mgs up to 3x a day pretty regulary.
Turns out. I was having "withdrawal" from the oxy. I had recently stopped taking it because I was feeling better and didn't want to continue on the oxy if I could handle the pain.
Well the dr said if you take oxy longer than like 7 days in a row when you stop taking it you have the withdrawal symptoms. Some of which include the buzzy, zappy brain thing, as well and nausea and stomach pain etc.
He told me to go back on, and then start cutting the doses in half, quarter, etc. It is not helping much. As soon as I cut down I get that awful feeling. This is going to be hard. And we wonder why so many drug addicts relapse!
Thanks everyone for your input!
