opiate withdrawal
"Under treatment for 5 years for  Peripheral Neuropathy & severe burning pain in toes, feet, ankles & lower legs.



W/Pain doctor, used 30mg Oxycodone 3X/day + 1.2 grams of Gabapentin 4 times/day + (at max.) 20 mg of Methadone, 4X/day.     On Methadone for 2.5 years.   Oxy for 4 years.



Did a 6-month slow weaning off  Methadone.     Feeling much better now, but STILL get an occasional hot flash and massive sweats.  



Then, went "cold turkey" on the  (FOUR YEARS of) Oxycodone.  .Started Nucynta Extended Release:  150mg 2X/day.   And used 0.3mg of Clonidine 3X/day for withdrawal.  But WD was still pretty bad. Used frequent Medical Marijuana to handle WD symptoms."
