you could ask your doc to help taper you down....then try alternative ways of helping with pain, acupuncture, medical marijuana, ect.
snowflakes right... consult a doc for sure....
whats happening is normal...your tolerance is building to the medication....
it happens to all of us... 2 Vics used to make me feel good and remove pain,,,,then 3,,,,then 4,,,,,,then...you know the rest...
so before things get bad,,,do try an alternative...
stick around..for more replies.,..
I talked to my doc and his definition of tapering was really different (high and fast) than what I have understood to be the right way to do it, low and slow. I tried to taper a little bit and the pain came back to be as bad as before I first started the medication. I was getting about two hours of relief and about 10 hours of pain/slight nausea sensation. Any ideas?
Your tolerance has built. It happened to me too. Then i was extremely sick in the morning until i took oxy. I suggest speaking with your doctor. Do not let him put you on a higher dose. Acupuncture works for me. Best of luck... Keep us posted!
