Using Meds As Prescribed
UpdatedI have dealt with chronic pain for years (2002). I have been meticulous about taking meds as prescribed, believing my PA wouldn't steer me wrong. For 8 years, I took 10/325 hydrocodone, six times a day.. It damn near killed me-not the opiate, but the Tylenol-1950 mgs a day. i changed doctors so I could get opiates w/o all the clutter of Tylenol. I was worried I would become a drooling junkie, waiting to rob a drug store. My new doctor started me on 15 mg Oxycodone (breakthrough) and two 60 mg Oxycontin; eventually increased to three 30 mg Oxycodone and three 60 mg time release Oxycontin. I've gone through a spinal cord stimulator implant, which has helped. I've been on same dose of meds since the implant in 2011. I make it work. sure, sometimes it would be nice to take an extra pill, but then have to make that up before my next appt. I think the people that crave more, more, more are seeking more high, high, high. I also mistrust Big Pharma loves to spread propaganda and, therefore make more money, money, money. sad, sad, sad.
