The pain in the heart and the mind outweighs the physical pain. The mania within is a beast trying to tear at every fiber of our sanity.
We want to get out but too numb and weary to even try. As the medication took hold, the last straw of energy diminish into nothingness and the mind went into an abyss - unable to feel and think anymore.
Self defeat and remorse, including self pity took the better of us leading us to feel miserable and meek.
Good write and well penned.
Cheerio, Ritchie.

    Yes indeed. It was the worse. Just have the after effects now for another month or so. I'm glad I asked them to take me off when I did a least. I don't like medication to begin with but especially medicine that makes you sick afterwards. Thanks so much Ritchie, as always, you're a good friend. I hope it was okay to share. Have a great day!

    It is good to tell us how you are and because you consider us as a family here, you wrote your story to us.
    Yes, do share and we will provide our support and prayers to you - especially me.
    Get well soon and this is just a small test. Dark moments have an effect to make us write better and you would have noticed that as well besides us readers. Smiles.
    Cheerio, Ritchie.

    You have no idea how much that means, thank you Ritchie. You have such a good soul. I'm fighting. Thank you...

    Well Greg,

    You better hang in there and get out of the rut. A man must stand up for his right to breath and you got a newly wed wife to take care of too, LOL.
    If you even think of giving up a little, think of those without hands and feet or those completely paralyzed.
    You were given just one more chance and if you don't make it, no one can help you.
    First wake up your positive mind, then walk a little and do physiotherapy or whatever.
    You know what i mean - a man got to do what he do best - protect all he loves and by standing up for that matter, smiles.
    Cheerio, be cheerful you are still kicking.
    Get well soon, Ritchie.

    P.S. Watch your wedding video - the perfect couple. She looks radiant with love in her eyes - kind, considerate and definitely not a cry baby. Simple at heart with a lovely smile, she is the darling and limelight of any party. Mark me if I am wrong, Greg. Wink.

I really really like this and I can relate... I had an accident some years ago and became clinically addicted to pain killers for a time... This poem reads beautifully and it will be immediately recognizable to anyone who has ever been there, long before they reach your footnotes.

    Really? Then You absolutely know that feeling. Its indescribable isn't it. Like not even pain, so beyond that but different. Discomfort multiplied incredibly. We are kindred sprits in a way then. I truly appreciate your beautiful comments and reviews. Very much so.

This is... perhaps one of the most disturbing yet compelling descriptions of withdrawal that I have ever read. I have known people, mostly patients hat have experienced it, but yours may be the first time I've read it in such stark and honest terms. Thank you for sharing. Be well.

    Thanks for your well wishes. I really appreciate that. The worst is over I just had no idea your body got so used to a medication. Its scary. I'm glad I asked to go off them when I did at least. It sounds like you're in the healthcare field..

It's never a bad idea to share, to vent the pain and frustrations; your innermost emotions, upon the written page. All writers do, in various forms or another.

I pray for your recovery from such a vile, wicked pain as this. I appreciate the wonderfully artistic way in which you have so eloquently presented it...here, for us all to share.

Know that you are not alone. We all have you in our thoughts and prayers. I am sure of that, my friend...

    That's incredibly kind Dean, truly thank you. That actually helps a lot. Writing does too. I already went through the worst of it. The rest are just the lingering after effects. I don't know why I wasn't warned about it though, crazy. My arm had a bad accident. The pain Was severe but to be honest I think I can handle it now. So I just gotta let my body get back to normal. Your words really help man, they do. Truly Thank you.
