Anyone else a rapid opiate metabolizer?

Recently asked a sleep medicine doctor why my drug screens at work show no traces of opiates in my system even after taking opiates for severe unrelenting Restless Legs Syndrome the night before. He had been using them to manage my unrelenting RLS. He mentioned taking some sort of genetic test.Recently asked a sleep medicine doctor why my drug screens at work show no traces of opiates in my system even after taking opiates for severe unrelenting Restless Legs Syndrome the night before.

Opiates and cellulitis ?

So I have chronic Pain from multiple fractures in my spine that I discovered after they were healed, T12 L1-5 and a few herniated discs in my neck. My Drs prescribe my oxycodone which I'm EXTREMELY careful with taking considering all the recent negative news surrounding the "opioid epidemic".

A cautionary tale

About 34% of all people who take opiates will develop afib or other heart issues. The studies are easy to find and had someone told me that I don’t believe I would have taken them for 7 years. Quitting the opiates wasn’t that bad.About 34% of all people who take opiates will develop afib or other heart issues.

Help!! Im not allowed to take no painkillers due to Liver failure caused by the opiates that different consultants put me on.

For over 20yrs I’ve been on opiates, (at that time I knew nothing about painkillers). I’m under so many consultants but none of the was checking what medication I was on.For over 20yrs I’ve been on opiates, (at that time I knew nothing about painkillers).

Medical marijuana. Anyone on that plan?

Personally I think most states that legalized medical use only did so as a distraction from those of us withdrawing from or suffering from withdrawals to the opiates we had so diligently been taking for years. All of a sudden opiates are too dangerous for adults to even have in the household.Personally I think most states that legalized medical use only did so as a distraction from those of us withdrawing from or suffering from withdrawals to the opiates we had so diligently been taking for years.

Kratom, the latest FDA headache. Anyone take kratom?

There is nothing to match opiates, face it. I heard about kratom, researched, purchased and experimented. I personally took it for, like so many others, pain relief from the withdrawals. Perhaps it was the placebo effect, perhaps it really did work, I don't know but it suits me quite well.There is nothing to match opiates, face it.

Anyone quit burprenorphine or opiates cold turkey?

I’m going into my fourth week without pain meds. I had been on buprenorphine since 2012 for a number of things including latent cancer effects. I finally got to the point where they weren’t working past ten minutes and then the pain rebounded even worse. The pain is actually tolerable now but I canI’m going into my fourth week without pain meds. I had been on buprenorphine since 2012 for a number of things including latent cancer effects.

Four weeks at club zero and no more Afib issues

I just wanted to check back in since my last update after stopping opiates three months ago, landing in the hospital with flu and Afib and a pulse of 194. I got to a cardiologist. Passed my stress test with flying colors, in fact my heart is in great shape.I just wanted to check back in since my last update after stopping opiates three months ago, landing in the hospital with flu and Afib and a pulse of 194.

Opiate use and sleep.

It is really interesting that it recognises the use of opiates for rls and the distinction between that and the much higher doses for chronic pain. This may be useful for some of us to have as support where a doctor may have 'qualms' about continuing with opiate prescription.It is really interesting that it recognises the use of opiates for rls and the distinction between that and the much higher doses for chronic pain.

I think it is half between the cancer in there; and his extreme constipation due to the opiates. Haven’t been able to get him to have regular bowel movements despite the medicine lactulose. Which is bizarre to me. Lactulose causes extreme gas as well which isn’t helping the cause.I think it is half between the cancer in there; and his extreme constipation due to the opiates.

So I am back onto my Opiates again until the pain goes. The problem is at sixty nine falling can be really bad with age and breaking bones bruising or bleeding can take a long time to get better. We become frightened of falling again and loose our confidence when bending, lifting and gardening.So I am back onto my Opiates again until the pain goes.

T-11 fracture! No wonder it hurts!

Later ordered x-rays and gave me prescribed for opiates that have no NSAIDs or Tylenol. Also gave me shot of Toradol. This is an injectable NSAID that spares GI tract. Had to go to ER today pain was so bad. Turns out yesterday’s Xrays show l have a spinal fracture at T-11.Later ordered x-rays and gave me prescribed for opiates that have no NSAIDs or Tylenol.

Chronic Intractable Pain & underlying Fibro.

I'm currently on a reduction dosage programme to omit my morphine & oxycodone from my ever growing prescription, as opiates are apparently no longer effective in chronic pain. So alongside gnawing nauseating pain, I'm suffering withdrawals!
