I have been prescribed everything from Lortab all the way up to Methadose and beyond.  I also didn't have a doctor at the time willing to take the time to help me through my issues.  Once I found a doctor willing to help, and was/is responsible to their patience, I was able to start functioning again.

I have a very severe case of Crohns, so the pain is excruciating, and dealing with the pain is a daily battle for me and my family.  I am on Cimzia and Pentasa 4grams a day, for the Crohns itself, Dicyclomine for most bowl and rectal spasms (works in calming down the need to go), and Tramodol 100mg (8 max a day) though I sometimes use more.

Strange thing, the Tramodol acts like a diuretic and with the Dicyclomine, tends to control the pain and symptoms to the point where I am functional again.  Although, if it wasn't for the Pentasa and Cimzia , I would be in the hospital or going crazy from the pain and discomfort.

I don't wish this on anybody, and if you're serious, ask your doc about the medicine above.  It helped me.
