Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia Treatment

Now I know why and what it is its ''opiate induced hyperalgesia'' I feel sad that I am a lay person has more knowledge than all the so called ''experts' that have caused this, and the answer's are ALWAY'S the same 'here take this' more opiates?''

Then you end up in deeper trouble as this ailment which is all to do with these drugs is being continuously fed by drugs, there is no help or cure or anything to be gained by listening to the Medical Fraternity.

You now need to get ALL drugs out of your system and this will not be easy, and you will become a lot worse as you detox. Some people do what they call 'Jumping'' which is to go completely CT (cold turkey) and others taper down until they get low enough a dose to ride it out or get down to zero drugs.

The best way to do this in my opinion is try to stop the least harder drug to taper or CT, for instance, a lot of us are also on Benzodiazapines or SSRI's as well, so the Opiates are the ones that are the lesser of the evils to come off as its a matter of a week to three, but 1 to 2 week's is the most common time scale.

Get a pill cutter if you can't take out a whole pill in one go and cut one in half, or as I found with Oxycontin 80mg I had to cut it into eights by 1/4 one then 1/4 it again and leaving one eighth for a week. Next week 2 eights and so on. It depends on you which opiate you personally feel is the least troublesome to cope with first, we're all different.

The others I either cut 1 in half or left out one whole pill/capsule every week to 2 week's but never no longer than 2 week's as I was on so much it would take 100 years doing it too slowly. And some I cold turkeyed completely at the same time as another one or more.

You got to find your own way around this and you must stick with it no matter what. Even by taking an extra one after dropping down, you're going to sabotage your own efforts and feel like your back at square one again.

But DO NOT STOP THE BENZODIAZAPINES OR THE SSRIS CT!!! They must be tapered as to CT off them will cause major problems. I will write more later as I can't do more right now I have CFS, which is because of the opiate induced hyperalgesia and can't keep my eyes open right now. Love Andrea C xxx

Others will ease or completely take the pain away. I tried different ones at a time, to see what I felt at ease with. Some within a minute I stopped and other's I found useful. And it's best if you have headphones to listen through them. And some got lovely videos with them so I put it on wide screen by using the icon bottom right of the video and to go back to normal screen just click the same one.

What one will find works in a good way for them may not do anything for anyone else.I tried one that someone else raved about and it gave me a bloody headache and ringing in my ear's after 2 mins :-D Something else I find helpful is guided meditation as well, you can listen to them anytime of day. Some prefer the AM others PM. But I just use it no matter what the time is.
