DOes your friend do anything? Smoke ? Drink coffee, drink ?????
Tell him, only if you can shoot him up with Morphine three times a day for a week and than stop. Let him know what it feels like. This isn't quitting smoking, this is not quitting drinking, this is not just an addiction. Wow , he is a moron.
Physical dependence, for a person in pain??????? where is this guy from????? Mars?

you should have doctor prescribed stuff, muscle relaxers, try aleve, it works good i dont know how well for that but it works better then anything ive tryed, you could also try a heat pad?
drugs
start using narcotics again, it'll ease the pain.
You are not detoxing, you are going cold turkey which is a whole new ball game.
Don't mess with your body like this as your pain will reach such a level that it will be very hard to control.
You need to go on reducing levels of narcotics and wean yourself off. Don't put yourself through this just to prove a point. Get some proper help from your doctor if you are serious about coming off of addictive medication.
Good luck!
What type of Narcotic are you detoxing from?? That will make a big difference and how long have you been using?
Your best bet is to get to a clinic. YOu cannot do it cold turkey you will hurt yourself.
There are too many chemical reactions occurring in your body with or without the drugs. Taking the drug out of your system will disrupt those chemical reactions and can cause a huge snow ball effect. See a doctor.
See your doctor, tell them what is going on. Your detox will be bad. You will shake, shitt, thowup, sweat, feel week. etc. YOu need to seek medical advise.
Coming off narcotics is very hard it might well be the hardest thing you can do if your a hard-addict.
What narcotics are we talking about?
My advise would be to stick with it ... are you doing it because you want to? You'll probably feel really bad too, 'pleasureless'?
I believe your body stops doing alot because the drugs are doing it insted so coming off is withdrawing alot of normal functions ... but they will restore soon.
If you keep with it your best staying that way.
My advice is to take your meds and explain to your friend that there is a distinct difference between physical dependence and addiction. What you're doing is dangerous and foolhardy. Don't let a "friend" convince you to stress your heart and put your life at risk by "detoxing" w/o medical supervision.
I'm adding more to this because I am just so angry I can barely stand it. Your friend is either no friend or he is so ignorant that his opinion should not matter to you. You're a human being, of course you are chemically dependant but I doubt very much you are psychologically addicted. That addiction would be to a high. Do you get high from taking your meds? I doubt it, not after three years. Please take your damn meds and if you really don't feel right about doing it talk to your doctor about detoxing the right way. Why torture yourself and possibly cause more damage to your body? Please take your Vicodin and let us know you are OK.
I used Suboxone. It takes away all the withdraw and makes you feel normal, But you have to see a Doc. look it up, I was going Thur awful,unbearable withdraw. I took a little less than you and As soon as He put the pill under my tongue It help asap then he gets to the right dose and you feel good and normal and only have to go every two weeks. Methadone is an option too ,that does help pain more but very inconvenient,you have to go to the clinic every morning.But it is too hard to do it one your own see a doc asap. Good Luck
It sucks, but it's the only non-medically supervised way to go.
Good luck to you.
