You guys talking about cbd oil, where do you get it? My dad is stuck on opioids because of his back, but wants try the cbd oil. Any recommendations ?

My wife has chronic pain patients that she is weaning off opiates.

People get addicted when they use opiates for chronic pain, not acute pain like a surgery. Post surgery is where these drugs are needed.

Yeah if you went from full-strength every 4 hours to 1/4 every 8, you essentially just quit. Not good.

That's equivalent of say 24mg a day to 3mg a day. Asking for trouble! lol. I am an advocate of trying to wean the pain meds as much as possible, but not cutting it by 90% at once!

There's ways to do it, and ways NOT to do it... you definitely found one of the ways NOT to do it! Good luck, man, hang in in there.

My Loving Wife says that John Wayne spoke these very words just for me: It sure is true my friend! Anyway, hang in there and just do what the doctors and nurses tell you to do. And the wife, of course. Should go without saying).

Another alternative is Kratom. A lot of people seem to be getting relief from it, including a close personal friend of mine (formerly on multiple meds for rheumatoid arthritis)--absolutely a world of difference. Anybody who is interested is free to send me a PM and I'll try to put you in contact.
