I found the on brand Fentanyl patches to work about a million times better than some of the crappy generics! Still I didn't like Fentanyl, highs and lows like crazy! Sometimes it felt like I was too...
Its rough all over :/ I'm finding excellent results with OxyContin I'm just trying to keep my tolerance as low as possible. I've heard Methadone results vary among people and the right dose is...
I know that burning sensation all to well! I found Lyrica to work well for it then again I probably don't have the burning and nerve pain as bad as you but I had a bulging disc that was wayyyy out...
Thanks for the post I really do appreciate it, it's the first time anyone has ever warned me in the least verbally assaulting way (lol)! I've thought about the future and that's why I try to keep...
Yeah its Exalgo...she just called it HydromorphContin for lack of knowing the brand name right away. Fentanyl is the strongest opioid...well aware of that which is why I really wanted to switch. She...
Had my appointment today... I got a lecture today because my PM doc thinks I'm an "addict" I told her I would rather be dead than pills "as needed 4x a day" because my pain is 24/7 and that the...
I hate 99% of PA's with the exception of a few. As it is doctors don't know everything and then you get a PA half doctor who knows even less! Yeah comprehensive care my rear end :D :D I got a...
I had CVS refill my liquid Vicodin with Murphy's wood soap after a surgery the day before Christmas eve..:apparently there was a manufacture error by the company :O I was 12 and I told my parents...
My PM docs office doesn't respond within 72 hours and their entire staff treats me like an addict despite the utmost honesty and offerings to do whatever they want to monitor me...its incredibly...
I was only on Pentasa but my rheumy is going to do Humira this summer. I just can risk getting sick as I live on campus in college around other kids and a compromised immune system is no good for...
@Pharm Girl, sorry to hear that :/ Oxymorphone is the active metabolite of Oxycodone, its really what does all the action, it doesn't have to go through first pass liver metabolization like Oxycodone...
Thanks guys! I have an appointment on the 17th of this month thank God. As a reminder of my pain issues, I have had Crohns disease for about 4 years now...its in remission now but I still always have...
Wow 14 PALLETS of Oxy going missing? That's a tad bit worse than "I spilled my month supply of OxyContin down the drain" :O :O lord knows where that Oxycodone is going now jesus...I didn't here...
So I was taking Percocet 5-325 4 times a day for about 9months....good pain relief for about the 6months my tolerance wasn't up but never covered the whole day like I needed...I'd either purposefully...
Ugh still got the chills, stomach cramps, diarrhea and cold sweats...sweats are starting to disappear but as Im posting this at 3:45AM you can bet its hard to sleep. Threw on another patch at 10:00PM...
I think allot of docs are either uncomfortable with sedatives without a Nurse Anesthetist and don't want to risk screwing up or just don't want to pay an anesthesiologist for something rather simple....
Reasonable perspective. Cancer pain is certainly not the only kind of pain that is immediate though....I think all of us can say that without some type of pain relief allot of things can get pushed...
Percocet is Schedule II, Vicodin is still Schedule III and a perfectly viable alternative....A doctor can verbally call in a schedule II substance under an emergency provision in the Controlled...
So I've been on the patches for a bit....I really like the window of pain relief but I don't think this is right for me.....The patch seams to "dump" its dose in the the first 48hours leaving me...
Is this a joke? The least they could do is call in a couple of Percocet...I've had that happen before...the 2days worth of Percocet because of traffic issues on one occasion is not at all...
Wow I totally neglected the thought of hot showers...thanks...I take 45 minute showers...guess I'm gonna have to change that...I've heard changing the opioid helps keep tolerance down versus say...
So my Internist, PM doc, AND Rheumy communicated! My PM doc called and apologized for the communication issues and said her and my Primary wanted to go with the 50mcg/hour Fentanyl (Yeah...too many...
I am not taking OxyContin AND Fentanyl . God that would be asking for an overdose not to mention a massive tolerance beyond my imagination. My Internist is out playing golf or whatever and my Rheumy...
Thanks for the support guys! . I told my roommate who is an early riser and my other roommate who was working late to see if I was still breathing...they looked at me with a strange look until I...
That's still odd....I know people who are on extraordinary amounts of opioids a day fro Chronic pain have have no troubles with something like this. If possible see another Dentist if not then you...
You mean MS Contin and Hydromorphone? And Opioid tolerance has no relation to topical/subcu. anesthetics....although long term Opioid use can cause hyperalgesia (aka INCREASED pain) but hyperalgesia...
Ok thanks guys! When I see my Primary next she is going to prescribe something extended release...I think OxyContin will work but I'm worried about building an insane tolerance or it not lasting...I...
So I have been on Percocet 5/325 for about 8 months now...it does not work anymore. 10mg keeps me at a reasonable level of pain for about 4-4.5 hours and 15mg lasts about 6 hours but I'm pretty...
I currently feel like I am literally dying and at age 18 with Crohns Disease and Ankylosing Spondylitis I have literally written essays to physicians explaining how incredibly frustrating it is. I...
I started having severe abdominal pain when I was 14 (I'm only 18 as well now) and was diagnosed with Crohns disease and now AS which are sort of related. Anyways it took literally 4 Internists to...
Wow this sounds awesome! I took ambien and I did some stupid things like you describe (woke up in my basement with an empty loaf of bread :O, strange conversations, etc.), I think every time I awoke...
Well said, I didn't think it was the least bit condescending if that means much. I take Percocet and get 120 a month and live in a dorm with 5 guys...luckily I trust most of them but I leave the big...
Woah! This sounds really not fun :( Those are serious adverse effects. My grandma takes care of another old lady who's on Fentanyl patches and pops as well as dilaudid. I don't know the details but...
So its been a while...I always seam to spark heat on here but I think I'm finally getting somewhere with care. I know this is a long post but if I could get some helpful replies I would seriously be...
Wow I just read about that Targin! Thank you so much! I heard about it but never knew it was actually in existence! Thank you! My Crohns pain in the past had to be treated conservatively by my GI's...
Yeah the ER physician wrote it for take 2 tabs every 4 hours which is good since I don't think I'll need to do that. I only need 5mg every 4-6 hours. When I got their I felt really dirty like drug...
I find Percocet gives me more "energy" and a less doped up feeling than hydrocodone. I also take Clonazepam for sleep and it helps, though recently my pain has gotten worse but I just switched to...
As a former high school student (graduated with honor roll) as well as having ADHD and Aspergers, I can say there is NOTHING wrong with you being a "hypocrite" like you say. My mom was the same way...
Just got back from the ER...The ER doc was coincidally an old friend of my family and he immediately gave me oxymorphone and a muscle relaxer and called a neurosurgeon right away and got me an...
I used to and still do volunteer in local law enforcement and have gone on quite a few traffic stops. Its disgusting the amount of narcotics officers pull of people of EVERY age. I'm serious too. Its...
Well it turns out my injection has been cancelled and moved a month up. My primary is not seeing me for another 3 months, and I can't get a referral to any other place because the place that I'm...
No because that would make my physician uncomfortable God for bid that. I used to take ambien and she won't prescribe it to me anymore because she thinks the Klonopin is enough but I have such a...
It's 2 AM, I've been thoughtlessly trying to fall asleep since 10:30 but I have shooting pain down both arms, neck discomfort and I've maxed out on what ky doctors have written on my Hydrocodone (5mg...
I know you weren't trying to jump me its just I don't respond well at all to people posting with that type of tone. I understand your in pain, but I live with two chronic pain parents who always...
OxyContin will increased your tolerance to oxycodone as well as oxymorphone as oxymorphone is simply put the end product of oxycodone..either way pain meds all have cross tolerance and its...
Ew Neurosurgeons are not fun. My Internist was going to refer me since she thought surgical intervention would be good some time down the road if my disc doesn't go back in and I said I didn't want...
Yeah I was and to a certain extent still am...I have less GI symptoms from it but do have pain from it still. The narcotics are not a good idea since I have issues alone with constipation but I will...
I went to see a pain management doc 3 times this summer. The only reason I didn't wait some ungodly amount of time (like 3 month wait list behind workers comp guys) was because my family new the...
I'm sorry for the post below but I'm frustrated and sort of venting but it has more details for you :) Please just bare with me I need some support here :/ No I'm not doctor shopping, and I am sort...
Both are strong opioids as you know. On a MG per MG basis Opana is wayyy stronger than MS Contin (morphine) but obviously they will give you the appropriate corresponding morphine dose to opana dose....
