Percoset , Percodan and oxycodone are some the most difficult opiate meds to withdraw from. I was addicted to them for years. It was the need anymore it was the high and comfort they gave me that I craved. I have been off them for about 15 months but, they are so powerful that if given the chance I would take them again. I had a Doc that just gave me whatever I wanted. Last year he retired and this new Doc won't give me any. The withdraw was hard but, I made it this far. I would advise getting him to a pain specialist at the VA or a referral.

Yo are to be commended for your great sacrifice in the care of your husband. In sickness and in health is a vow for life. Sometimes it is a difficult row to hoe but, you are entrusted with caring for him as he would for you. I know it is hard and having kids to care for and raise is another matter but, this is your station in life. Do you have anyone that can relieve some of the pressure, like a family member that can help out? Any of the kids old enough to pitch in? Even some simple chores can relieve some of that burden.

I wish there was some way I could help you. It must be frustrating sometimes and very tiring. I will remember you in my prayers.

Have a great day,
