For over 10 years now I have been addicted to prescription pain killers and I feel I will succome to the same fate as Heath Ledger and possibly Michael Jackson. They are a bitch to get off. Everyone says well stop taking them. That would be like getting hit by a truck every minute without dying for three solid weeks. Could you handle that sort of sufferring? I know I can't. I have tried the wean method. Going to meetings doesn't stop the suffering.
There is only one humane way to get off pain meds and that is through a thing where they put you to sleep and introduce a medication that knocks the opiates out of the recepters and puts you into immediate withdrawals. The great thing is you are a sleep and feel no pain. There is only one problem. The cheapest place I have found that does that is $6700 and goes up to over $18,000 at other places. Insurance won't cover it.
These people have no compassion, they only care about the almighty buck. They could save a lot of people lives if insurance would cover it or these companies would make it affordable and or have some type of payment plan. But they don't.
So I will continue to suffer and my family will continue to suffer since my prescription drugs cost over $300 a month. I tried a methadone clinic, that crap is worse than hydrocodone to get off as well. Plus it makes you feel like a zombie. There is no hope.
