Dear Dr. Phil,
I am worried about these twins Yvonne and Yvette, I was diagnosed almost 5 years ago with Rheumatoid Arthritis and was given alot of meds for my condition. I was prescribed dilaudid and used it for approximately 4 years. I was not the same person that I am today. I was at a point where I was getting very hooked and would take 8 mg's every three hours. My mood was very depressed and miserable all the time due to the dilaudid (Morphine) and my apperance was dishelved. I decided from one day to the next that I wanted to stop this medication and almost killed myself in the process. I felt like I was really a true drug addict when I was detoxing. All these pain meds are good when used to treat pain (On a temporary basis) But in the long run, they tend to kill you slowly (Mentally, Physically and Emotionally) I hope you can get through to these two sisters before it is too late! God Bless you and your wife!
