Yeah, how long are you supposed to be on "holiday"? In a handout from my PM, he mentioned those.Last year I stopped taking opiates completely for about 4 months, but when I needed them again my tolerance came back pretty quickly. I would suggest if you can, switch pain meds for awhile. Not all of you have that option, I know, but when the hydro stopped working I was put on methadone. If you have a real doctor, and don't just use OP's I would suggest asking him/her about it. I would just say: "Look Dr, my back pain has no gotten any better. The medication I have been on is not working as well as it did, and I was wondering if I may be a candidate to try a longer-acting opiate, or maybe I should get a referral to a pain specialist if you are not comfortable with that."
Now thats all you have to say. If your doctor starts giving you a lecture about addiction and tolerance, tell him that you want a pain doctor to decide if you are an addict. That should put him in his place.

Anyways, no I didn't have any luck with my holiday, and although I stopped the physical signs of withdrawl within 10 days, I had cravings for a long time. Yes the medication can help you, but its also a monkey you are carrying on your back.

Good luck and try some clonidine AKA Catapress to aleviate WD symptoms. Thats what I used.

Be well,

Sarah
