pain meds

[jacque]

i had a question where is everyone getting their pain meds?  doctors in my area totally refuse to write a script.  and if they do they give you very little.  someone i know that is in the health field said the doctors dont write them that much because most of them use them.  i have inherinted migraines i get every month . i have tried imitrax and midrin everything.  and the only thing that works in darvocet and vicodin.  which i very rarely get them so i have to suffer alot with headaches.  now they are trying me on zomig.  but the only thing unfortunetly is the pain meds.  i can see how you can get hooked on them they do make you feel good and want to clean the whole house.  just wanting to know how people get these for up to 10yrs and taking them every day when doctors wont perscribe them

Thanks so much for the information.  When I run out of Vicoden, I plan to try to stop cold turkey.  I won't have enough Xanax, but the Immodium AD is over the counter so that's easy enough.  I am hoping to run into someone to get a few valium for the bad early mornings.  That's when it's the worst for me.  Once again, I will be alone in my detox...and taking care of a 20 mo old daughter.  No one else can know.  I will contact the one friend that i can talk to and she will hound me to the the NA thing, but I will have to find private time for that and a non-smoking group.  I am terrified, as my source for the Vicoden is always there...i will just have to say NO.  Thanks again, Neena

Neena, you will not be able to go through this alone and care for the young one,believe me.You owe it to the baby. You will have a hard enough time taking care of yourself.I don't know the situation with your mate, but if it's his child involved he SHOULD know.I don't want to scare you, but the first few days there are times you won't be able to get out of bed. And you will not sleep.Don't attempt to go it alone. I'm sure others here will back me up on that one.Good luck.It will end.The physical part anyway.

Been on the vike scene for about i year now but have always tried to keep it down to under 6 to 8 a day Also am taking Xanax, .5 4 times daily for years. Guess will have to up the xanax to get off the vikes as I only have about 50 left and better start to taper quick !!  Have about 6 hundred  1mg. xanax in my briefcase so feel safe there but will I have big trouble with the vike withdrawal? How should I taper with only 50 left  I do have access to about 60 15 mg.  MSIR Morphine sulfate immediate release , but have the feeling I may be digging in deeper!! Anybody have any ideas out there ????????????

Stay away from MSIR! It is much stronger than Vicodin and WILL get you in deeper. MSIR and MS Contin were my drugs of choice for the better part of a year. When my surgeon stopped RXing them to me, I simply wrote my own scripts and got busted eventually. This stuff all but ruined my life!  I got started on Lortabs and went full cycle to morphine in one year's time. I wouldn't wish this thing on my worst enemy!  Take heed, my friend.
