Two years later i had a second surgery in which the rods were removed because they were moving, this left my back unstable and since then i have severe scholiosis and 2 ruptured dis and 1 in my neck. i also hurt my shoulder and had 2 recontructive surgeries on it. I also had a compound fracture of my elbow with total reconstruction of it also.i have metal in both. early in 2007 i tried to commit suicide and was hospitalized. my doctor there a psychiatrist took away my duragesic patch because he said i have no reason to be in pain. i had to go off them cold turkey with no kind of help. i couldn't eat sleep or function in any way. 7 days in i had to be given fluids because i was dehydrated. when i got out and went to my dr to get my patches he said that the psychiatrist said he would turn my dr in if he prescribed any narcotic. anyway sorry to on and pon. today I get 6 ultram a day and thats it. he is a pain dr I have not been able to find another dr and i really need help. i feel like dying everyday and cannot not take much more. thanks and i am so glad to know that there are good drs out there for all of you thanks cynthia **************Start the year off right.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thanks for the info . I'm not on an antidepressant right now, but I'll keep that information in mind when I see my shrink next Friday. I went off my lithium right after Christmas because it was aggravating my stomach condition, and I feel fine so far. My hubby and I are keeping a close eye on my mood in case I start acting weird again. Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
