Masked Symptoms

Pontypridd, UK

As some of you may know I’ve had to come of codeine and Tramadol and currently on an increasing dose of Gabapentin. In general am feeling Ok ish.

Treatment

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Galax, VA

Looking for information on Hysingla. I’m currently taking 5 10/325 hydrocodone, oxcarbanezine, diazepam, and my pain doctor added Hysingla 20 mg. I’m concerned about drug interaction and side affects. I checked interactions and some are life threatening. Please tell about your experience with Hysingla. Thank y’all.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

I am dosing off the diazepam. No one ever told me it wasn’t for long term use and I need pain control the most.
