It's been an eventful month.

I've mentioned that I take methadone for pain. Well I had been tryin g to wean myself off of it and I went to fast. On 9-16-10 I had a "psychotic breakdown" from going off of it too fast. Another factor the Dr thinks may have helped caused it was the fact that just a week earlier the psychiatrist as VA put me back on wellbutrin. However, I was NOT told to start slow, taking just one pill a day. I just went back to my usual dose of 2 a day.

The Dr's think that the combination of those factors caused me to "flip out". I spent a week in the psyche unit at the VA hospital in Fayetteville AR so they could watch me. They also started the process of getting me off methadone. I'm now off of it and I'm feeling much better. I still have a lot of pain but it's not as intense and I'm also eating better than I have in 2 years.

I have lost 40 lbs in the last couple of years because of the way that the methadone took my appetite away. I'm eating like a horse again so that's good.

So anyway, word of advice...Don't mess with methadone and if you are on it, get off of it. But do it with a Doctors supervision.

Anyway, as usual, I'm outta here.

Until next time...Bye!!!!
