Re: ambien D U I dismissed and question on some new pain meds

[Guest guest]

Welcome to the group Sunshine, (love your name, very positive, though I tend

to be more of a dark person because of my migraines, end up being a vampire,

Laugh Out Loud)

Sorry you had to go thru so much and so happy it was dismissed.

Makes me wonder what it was that made them think you were on something?? Do

you know??

I am always afraid something like that will happen to me. Though I shouldn't

worry since there are like 5-6 taverns around here and I don't think anyone

gets stopped unless they do a hit and run. Or it is the end of the month,

type thing

Sorry to hear what your mom told you, that has to hurt though I suppose you

are like me, after a while parents after we are 18 we tend to let it go in

one ear and out the other and really wish our family could change their

attitudes when we really need them.

This is what I found out about methadone for you:

METHADONE 10MG TABLETS

Common Uses: This medicine is a narcotic analgesic used to treat

narcotic addiction (such as heroin or morphine) along with appropriate

medical services. It may also be used to treat other conditions as

determined by your doctor.

I never knew that. Interesting.

Does being bipolar mean you have to watch what other medications you take??

Just wondering.

Also I heard a lot about the fentanyl patch?? not sure on that one but I

have heard a lot about a patch that helps, just can't remember the name of

it.

If I find out the name, I will write and let you know

Thanks for the response. Yes, i DO know why they thought i was on

something. I do believe it had something to do with me running into

the front of the local store here in town with my car. No damage to

car but i have to pay 7500.00 for a set of new front doors. That is

bs i think, it was only a dent in the metal. Oh well. I could be in

jail for a dui. They firgured i was on drugs because i was so out of

it. In reality, I had not slept in 11 days and was a zombie

already. Plus in the doctors that day they had given me two iv's and

some phenagren for the nausea. For some reason that phenagren does

weird things to me. But, as I stated nothing was found in my blood

or urine so I got very lucky.

I went off of my pain meds and sleeping meds for two weeks. I have

decided not to change my pain meds yet as i have determined that they

were working much better then I thought. I discussed it today with

my doctor. He said it would be easier for me to go to something

stronger and have less doctor visits. I just said " not right now. "

I took some meds last friday and apparently drank a beer afterwards,

which i never or rarely do. I was found in my house unconcious. I

was taken to the hospital and then went into a comma. When i came

out of it, i was yelling at everyone and at some point, I got up and

was walking down the hall with my gown open and iv pole in hand.

Unfortunatly one of the administrators from work was at the hospital

that night. With a patient of ours. I got a call from my immediate

supervisor and they wanted a note from my doctor stating what

happened and that i wasnt all wacked out on drugs. Got that today.

I also found out that i ripped my iv out, i guess i knew that all

along...... When i left I left on a AMA (against medical advice).

Called my neighbor, she came and got me. She didnt want to take me

because i was not breathing right. But she did. She fed me and took

me home and put me to bed.

I had to apologize again today to my doctor for my behavior. He kind

of laughed about me yelling at my mom. He knows how mentally abusive

she is to me, i guess i really let her have it. I dont remember a

darn thing.

One thing I can say to all. Please dont ever drink with your meds.

I should have died last friday, it just so happens i did not show up

for an appointment that day and they came to look for me. I am very

lucky. God was by my side, once again.

Long story short............. I am to afraid to change anything with

my medication right now. I would rather suffer the nagging pain, if

it gets to bad, i will go and see my doctor that day.
