I had that happen a few years ago.  It was scary because no matter what I did, I kept having more and more pain.  It turns out that this can be a symptom.  Your body thinks it is in more pain that it really is.  The pain doctors made me stop cold turkey.  It was awful, but it worked.  You need to see a doctor first, though.

I agree with Jack.  If you're feeling some strange symptoms after going off your pain medication, it's time to see the doctor and get some professional help.  Your doctor can figure out the right way to get you off the medication.

i had spinal fusion surgery done in 2005. But I am having a lot of pain. I need the hardware taken out. But I have no insurance or disability like I said in another thread. I am going to tell my doctor i want to start weaning off the pain meds some. I don`t see him again until July. He isn`t my surgeon because he wants $200 per visit and there is nothing he can do besides surgery.

You say you haven't had your surgery yet? What do you take them for? If you are having this much trouble now maybe it is time to talk to the doctor to see if they can give you something that isn't addictive.
