HI,
PLEASE EXCUSE THE USE OF ALL CAPS, I AM NOT SCREAMING JUST HAVE HAND PAIN AND THIS IS EASIER FOR ME TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS.
THANKING GOD RIGHT NOW THAT I FOUND THIS GROUP.
MY HUBBY IS ON METHADONE FOR CHRONIC PAIN. HE SEES A PSYCH FOR PANIC/ANXIETY DISORDER , HE HAS MANY MEDICAL ISSUES.
THE PSYCH GAVE HIM XANAX ONE MG THREE TIMES A DAY AND TWO AT BEDTIME, HE HAS BEEN ON THAT FOR ABOUT THREE AND A HALF YEARS WITH NOT ONE INDICENT OF RUNNING OUT EARLY OR ABUSE OF THE MEDS.( I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS MED DOSE WAS WAY TO HIGH)
I NOTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO THAT HE WAS LAYING AROUND MORE. THEN HE BEGAN TO HAVE RESTLESS LEGS, LOSS OF APPETITE, MOOD SWINGS, ETC. I CHECKED HIS METHADONE SUPPLY AND IT IS FINE, THERE ISNT ANYTHING SHORT THERE.
EARLY THIS AM HE GRABBED MY ARM IN BED AND IT WAS HURTING. I ASK HIM TO LET GO AS IT APPEARED HE WAS ASLEEP . HE BURST INTO SOBS WHEN I ADDRESSED HIM AND SAID HE WASNT SURE IF HE WAS HALLUCINATING OR HAVING A BAD DREAM. HE SAID IN THIS STATE HE HAD THOUGHT HIS SON WAS RUNNING FROM HIM AFTER TAUNTING HIM AND THE SON WAS ACTING LIKE A MONKEY JUMPING AROUND AND AROUND, I ONLY SHARE THAT PART BECAUSE IT DOES MAKE ME WONDER IF HE WAS HALLUCINATING.
AFTER THAT INDICENT HE CONFESSED THAT HE HAD ABUSED HIS XANAX THIS MONTH. HE CANNOT GET A REFILL FOR A WEEK AND HE IS TOTALLY OUT OF THE BENZOS TIMES ONE WEEK ALREADY.........
I CANNOT REACH THE PSCYH THAT PRESCRIBED THE BENZOS, THE PROTOCOL IS TO GO TO THE ER WHERE THEY SEND OUT A CRISIS WORKER WHO WILL SEE YOU WITHIN TWELVE HOURS OF PRESENTATION AT THE ER AND REFER YOU TO TREATMENT. THERE WONT BE ANY RX OF XANAX.
HE HAS A CONTRACT WITH THE PAIN MGMT DOC THAT GIVES THE METHADONE THAT HE WILL NEVER TAKE MEDS EXCEPT AS PRESCRIBED AND TO DO SO IS A ONE STRIKE YOU ARE OUT, DISMISSAL FROM HIS CARE.
HE HAS NOT ABUSED THE XANAX IN THE PAST. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED. HE SAID HE DID IT WHEN HE HAD LEARNED OF SOME BAD NEWS REGARDIG MY HEALTH AND COULDNT COPE WITH IT AND JUST WANTED TO MAKE ALL THE SADNESS GO AWAY. HE IS NOT EXPRESSING ANY SUICIDAL IDEATION AT ALL.
I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT HE COULD HAVE A SEIZURE COMING DOWN OFF SUCH A HIGH DOSE OF THE BENZOS.
IS THERE ANYTHING ANYONE CAN SUGGEST TO HELP WITH THE WITHDRAWALS UNTIL MONDAY WHEN HE CAN BE SEEN BY THE PSYCH WHO ORDERED THE XANAX AND TALK TO HIM ABOUT WHY HE DID THIS AND IN MY OPINION GET STARTED ON AN APPROPRIATE TAPER PLAN.
AGAIN THE PAIN DOC AND THE PSCYH ARE AWARE OF EACH OTHER.
WE ARE DUE TO LEAVE FOR A VERY IMPORTANT MEDICAL APPT THAT CANNOT BE MISSED IN THE AM AND IT INVOLVED HOURS OF ROAD TRAVEL....
HELP ME PLEASE.....
THANK YOU
