Was trying to stop taking unprescibed meds, now it's prescribed

[Roxy30mg]

I was trying to stop using unprescribed Roxycodone30mg pills. Then I made an appointment to see a doctoer and he gave me Vicodin 7.5 ES. He prescribed it for chronic back pain. I feel like I can function much better at work with these pills. My job has me doing a lot of bending and lifting. Just the thing my back aches from. With the pills I feel a surge of energy and I can function much better at work. I may get a little hyper but I can perform my duties much better. So far my doctor has me taking a 7.5 every 6 hours as needed. He gives me 120 pills a month so far. I don't know what to do. Without the pills I feel I can't function at all but with them I feel scared that I may run out of the before my refill comes around. Should I try to live with the pain or continue with what the doctor has given me?
  I also feel guilty about taking other pills to fall asleep faster. I take a prescibed Amytryptolyne, anot prescribed Clonazepam 1mg and sometimes even a unprescibed Ambien. I do fall asleep faster but I worried if there will be any danger in taking these pills together. So far I feel fine when I wake up besides having bloodshot eyes. A little eyedrops and I'm ususually ready to function normally. Can anyone tell what possible long term dangers may occur if I continue this pattern?

but if this is what it takes to get things back to "normal" around here then so be it, i will read about sports if i must! j/k!!!

Now, in all fairness, I'll give you something to work with.  I PLAYED four years for Southern Miss under Thad Vann and P.W. Underwood.  After that I played 3 years in the NFL until Harry Schuh wrecked my knee with a crackback block.  I never was a star or made the big bucks, but I have a few memories and stories.  Fortunately, I got out before I was permanently crippled. I got to see the meanest sonofabith in the world in his last year.  No, not Nitsche, Johnny Unitas.  As far as the Madman was concerned, I was just thankful that I played defense and did not have to face him.

Why do you say I need to be roped. I am not a mean person and I have had only two fights in my life. I lost one won one! I would never threaten anyone much less over the internet. I wish you would drop all this threatening ****. I said IA WOULD DUST YOU OFF, THAT MEANS A ASS WHIPPING. I was joking yesterday and why is it you can dish this **** out but can't take a little humor and I mean with me it's just a little humor. You said if I did it again you would take action. What as in the law enforcement. OK I get your point but be put on notice I am a brother of a secret service agaent so this **** is all too funny. and about hacking this place or my PC don't think about it because a phone call would end all this in one second. I do not have anything against you except the aethist ****. Or Satnaist **** whichever. So Expillman, peace brother and I would never threaten anyone seriously so drop that conversation please.  Bill
BTW know we can talk about addiction please, I am having a problem with mr meds and I need to get some advice here and stop the kiddy play! Thanks Goat sir, we are buds now!

[Kurt Cobain]

Now THIS is what this aging hippie likes to see!  Remember, can't say it often enough. . .no matter how we got here, we all have one thing in common -- we've had our lives screwed up, over, and sideways by DRUGS!  This might be the only place in the world we can all be equals. . .thanks, both of you guys, for burying the hatchet (and not in each other's skulls!)

PEACE.

Kurt

[Expillman]

I knew you had to be a Bama Bubba Football Crazy.  You might as well have had it tatooed on your forehead.

I'll tell you the teams that I despise.  I have nothing against Bama.

Most Hated

1.  Tennessee
2.  MissiSISSY State

[bmac]

Now we have something to talk about. I do have over a 100 Bear Bryant posters in my house. My walls are lined with all the Sugar bowl victories and of course all the national championships. OK Expillman this is peace! I was wrong in pushing your buttons so from now on I will call you my friend and let this die slowly. And I was there for the punt bama punt game but I was also in New Orleans when we kicked Miami's butt and won the national championship once again, so Please accept this Olive Branch! Aeihtists and Christians can get along on the forum can we just all get along! lol BILL

[Kurt Cobain]

Please, don't inflict any more pain. . .you'll have me craving again.  And I don't even really follow college football. . .more of a gung-ho NHL fan (and ex-psycho-goaltender) here.

Peace,

Kurt

[Expillman]

Hey Kurt!  Did you hear the joke about the Tennessee Football fan?

He had this affliction that mimiced Tourettes's Syndrome in that he could not stop yelling "GO VOLS".  It did not matter where he was, in church, in the dentist chair, he would spontaneously yell "GO VOLS"!

Well....long joke short, they treated him with everything they cold think of [including methadone] to no avail.  Surgery was the only option.  They removed half of his brain.  When he woke up from the surgery, he immediately sat up and yelled......









......"ROLL TIDE".

[da da dum]

[Expillman]

OK, and I promise not to reveal that Bear Bryant was a secret admirer of Shrug Jordan.  Punt, Bama, punt......

[Kurt Cobain]

Damn it, now you've gone too far.  If you're not careful, we may be able to just put all this behind us and start having fun again.

Peace,

Kurt

[Expillman]

O.K., Bill, you leave me no choice.  I will now bring out the heavy artillery.  

Auburn 17 - Alabama 7.

There.

[bmac]

OK I am thru with you period. Dish it out but can't take it,right? I thought so, aethist! But hey Goat you can bet cha I won't say another word to you about it and no I don't wanna kill you,  I'll pray for you though!  It is finished...................Bmac

[percsnomas]

Hey Suzie, I emailed you yesterday......not sure u received it???

[Expillman]

Bill, I have
1.  Stopped being a jerk
2.  Admitted my responsibility for the goat debacle
3.  Moved on

Why don't you do the same?  If you continue with your diatribe against your imagined foe, you only consume valuable space that you could use to help others.

Think!  If you want to blast me out, email me at ***@****.  I will give you my name and address and you can even come to see me if you wish.  I will meet you at the airport, buy you a beer and you can kill me if you wish, but TAKE IT OUT OF HERE.

EXPillman

[Expillman]

No, the CSG was the only one.  Just a word of advice.  You guys need to throw a rope around Bill.  I know that it is probably just bluster, but there are a lot of sicko-s around and you never know.  He had just better not threaten physical harm again or I will do something about it.

[Expillman]

No, Bill, it is a fact.  Have you ever considered thinkng before you post?

[mrmichael67]

You know where I stand.

If everyone wants to laugh really hard at someone,ask MrGoatfarts to post his link to his website, I mean it is so friggin funny I almost pee'd my pants! You think e seems like an idiot here, ask him about the link and sit down because you will be on the floor dying in pain. Oh I guess that voodoo doll has my name on it now, right. I canseeitnowaethist has voodoo doll remove from anus after big Christian redneck has his way with his fellow bretheren. Turn the other cheek remember?
Anyway the site is unbelievable andreally really STUPID!
Duh? I am an aethist and it makes me stupid! Duh? Man what a joke guys ,really! Bmac

[bmac]

So if you haven't been arrested and you haven't stuck a needle in your arm that's makes you better than me. Is this where you are going with this conversation? It is so sad that many in the medical profession feel this way! It is ridiculas and only makes things worse on us the paying pain patients. In the docs office and in the pharmacy. Also if you take Oxycontin and take it for a long period of time you become an addict. Don't give me that headdoc **** about it's dependence and addiction is different than dependence, that's gargage to make you feel better about yourself. Whether you are a street junkie or a legit pain patient we should all respect each other. And to ask you a question Goat Sir, what about people like me that are both, do I get your respect and your compassion or is it that I am an addict and you can't have compassion for me because of it. My drug problem started in a doctors office in 1989 as I told you today so which is it since everything is so cut and dry with you, how about telling me what is wrong with me? Please everyones opinion matters to me. Where soes everyone stand on this ****?  Bmac

I would like to post this link for those considering using naltrexone and also hoping for their endorphins to kick in:  http://www.uoregon.edu/~iishp/MillerS.html

[Thomas03]

Gosh, Mike, you sure you want to do this? Without all that pain you might turn into a sweet guy, and no one wants that ... LOL

Seriously, that's great news. At the very least, you can get split doses and not have to guts it out til morning all the time. Good luck with the new doc.
