Tramadol Withdrawal
After over 2 years on 100mg Tramadol my sleep reduced from 8 hrs day, RLS symptoms started earlier in the day and spread from legs and arms to hands as well. Rather than Tolerance I suspected Augmentation and spent 4 weeks reducing Tramadol to zero whilst building up a mild Gabapentin dose (3x100mg).

Ldn prescriber Dr. Cory Tichauer has 15 years experience and runs his naturopathic “Bear Creek Clinic” in Oregon.
He avoids
opiates
and antibiotics as much as possible, and does a great job of combining conventional western medicine with Naturopathy. Review by Ken Bruce https://vimeo.com/241816701

Synthroid 50 MCG
I've recently started taking two 25 microgram tablets to equal 50 mcg. I did this because the doctor didn't increase the dose. 25 did not do anything. However, after taking the 50 mcg I notice that I get slightly drowsy and relaxed, like i'm on a low dose of the opiate hydrocodone. I feel no difference

I want to try Rotigotine patch but worried about w/d's from Dihydocodeine.
Hi all, I've had RLS for years and tried all the usual. I'm currently taking Dihydrocodeine bt of course my tolerance has increased and although it works, I'm now sleeping too deeply and for too long which is effecting my life. I have never tried Rotigotine but my Neurologist did suggest it before I

Lymphedema
Has anyone heard of opiate intrathecal induced lymphedema? I have a pain pump and recently heard about this. I have lymphedema and am wondering if this is the cause of it.

I'm Putting My Life Back Together (But I'm Struggling)
Hello, I'm new to the community. Well, I've struggled with depression my entire life. I remember being 12 and having the feeling like there's a veil over my eyes, that I could no longer really see or experience the world. I also grew up in a very homophobic household, which was really hard. I was

Hi all I haven’t posted for a while as been adjusting. RA diagnosed March, been on methotrexate since April alongside hydroxychloroquine since January. MTX by injections since June due to bad side effects on pills. Currently 20mg a week. I have a review next week with a new consultant. I am wondering

Pain medications
I have taken every medication prescribed for fybro over the years, been addicted to
opiates
and withdrawn. If I can help 1 person cut down on pain meds with this post it will be a blessing.

What to do ?
It seems pointless to take
opiates
that do little to help but cause side effects. I measure biometrics via Fitbit, my ehealth etc I have noticed a significant reduction in activity. I also have significantly less sleep. I am concerned that I am doing harm.

Lung Cancer is a National Epidemic. Join us Nov 2 in Washington DC.
Lung Cancer is a National Epidemic. The president recently declared opiate related deaths an epidemic that has reached National Emergency Status. 91 people die from it everyday. Why then isn't lung cancer a National Emergency? 433 people die every day from lung cancer. 433 people died from lung cancer

opiate induced insomnia
Hell everyone, I'm wondering whether anyone else has shared my experience with
opiates
. I have been experimenting with rotating codeine and tramadol for my RLS. They both work to eradicate symptoms. But after a couple of weeks they stop me sleeping.

Help with withdrawal.
I'm putting a link here to an interesting article on withdrawal aids written by Matt Finch. You can ignore the sales pitch at the end. But the information is relevant to all withdrawal situations.

Life and Breath Rally in Washington DC November 2
A group of lung cancer advocates recently got their backs up when our President declared the opiate crisis as a national emergency. We know it is a big, big problem - 91 Americans die every day from an opiate overdose - but 433 Americans die every day from lung cancer, almost five times as many. 433

Hi
Hi all, I'm new to this group. I have suffered from depression in the past, about 10/11 years ago and was sent to a counselor that I thought was great and really helped me. This time, after a tricky time in my marriage, I started getting panic attacks. I went straight to the doctor and was put on
