Hi there I have been getting treatment for my fibro for about 4 years now . im on 12mg hydromorphone long acting and just recently my dose of 4mg of dilidud has been dropped to 2mg a day. I also go to a pain clinic when needed and get a lidocine and ketamaine infusion when necessary. (sorry about my spelling). I thought everything was ok with my meds until about a month ago my doc said he received notices from the government stating anyone with non malignant pain who he is treating with narcotics have to be weaned off. I understand that it is not his fault but the government just looks at the big picture that people are becoming addicted! this is true but not in my case. The government wouldn't have time to look at each individual case. I have never abused or changed my dose in over 2 years. I take my pain meds to function. I have only dropped the 2mg and I feel off next month im terrified to go from 12mg to 6mg. My life I thought was getting better I struggle with other demons like many others like alcohol been sober 3years now and an eating disorder for over 20 years mental health anxiety ptsd. the one thing that is keeping me sane right now is working out on stationary bike ,this and my pain meds keep my pain level even. I have become more depressed lately so exercise helps this as well. Iam terrified of how iam going to feel coming down to 6mg. Also because of low mood I have put off plans to volunteer now I feel like I cant commit to anything because iam afraid I will always be in pain coming off my meds. its just a vicious cylcle right now feeling scared,feeling shaky dizzy cannot do my exercise so don't eat. I already have a problem with appetite and withdrawl doesn't help I didn't mean for this to be so long im guess im really anxious as well Im wondering if anyone can help me if they have been in the situation with their meds. I feel like im a slave to fibro already and with coming off my meds its going to be hell any help would be appreciated god bless niki
