What Is A Short Acting Pain Meds Besides Norco And Perks?
I'm on methadone 10 mg for long acting pain but I need something for in between now I take perks it was Norco for 5 years. They have never really helped. And I'm beyond aggravated with this. Why take it if it doesn't work? Well I'm not fond of withdrawals lol and to be honest I take it in hopes it just works.
I've been on Duragesic patchs 100mcg and Norco. The generic Norco doesn't do much for pain. I did discover that acupuncture made all the difference in the world. I could feel my medication, my pain… read more
Duragesic
Comment about Duragesic (fentanyl). You may want to include that this drug is predominantly used as a sedative for a variety of procedures. The problem with taking this or using the transdermal patch can cause you to develop tolerance to all forms of Fentayl, including its uses as a sedative. Due to my being on this path for about 6 months, Fentanyl no longer has any affect on me for sedative uses (such as a cardiac catheterization - try that without adequate sedation [been there, done that]!)
How do I add a pic..??
Percoset
I take alprazalam for anxiety and they won't prescribe percoset with alprazalam because of early deaths. I don't get high from percoset, it just relives pain. I tried duceline and had really bad diaherra, then they put me on gabapentin and it doesn't help, makes it work. What else can I try

Have You In Any Way Been Impacted By The New CDC Guidelines That Pain Managers Are Using To Require Reductions In Opioids?
I am collecting information in an attempt to contact those that are making our laws about opioid addiction. I have already contacted some law makers. When the new proposals are announce, I want to be very ready to get active in trying to be sure that those of us in chronic pain are not ignored in the process. Please be very specific if you feel that you have already been affected by new state laws or the national CDC Guidelines for pain managers and their use of opioid. Thanking you all in… read more
