At the time I wouldn't have said I was addicted but, during the 6 years I took a number of different opiates, I kept doing so despite the very unpleasant side effects and change of personality. I considered that I couldn't be addicted as I always tried to keep the dose to the minimum. Fentanyl patches almost broke me as I suffered very badly from breathing difficulties and side effects that I couldn't describe on this open forum. Yet I stayed with it for months.

I now use CBD and paracetamol occasionally. No more opiates and the same levels of pain sometimes but much higher levels of activity and |I am have found my own personality again.

If you are considering coming off them you must must must be guided by your doctor.

Do message me if you want to talk privately
