[quote=Anonymous]Answering what was withdrawal like:
PP here: I have to correct myself. The surgery and aftermath would have been unbearable without pain meds. When they wore off it was terrible and luckily I had an adequate supply of various pain meds. Unfortunately the whole ordeal lasted a long time prior to this. So I became addicted/ dependent.

Withdrawal. YIKES. Awful. I had brain zaps from the combo SSRI/painkiller, severe constipation alternating with diarrhea (don’t ask me how). The  constipation was  very painful especially straining after major surgery. I had hot and cold flashes day and night. Ringing in the ears. Non stop non stop nausea. I tapered off and took a small dose to sleep at night. I guess it was like having the flu although I have never had the flu. It went on for 14 days. All I could do was lie in bed and groan and trek back and forth to the bathroom. Now on TV when they take the addict off to rehab I feel very sorry for them. 
Still it was better than the pain which was unbearable. Tough situation. [/quote]
