Crossing my fingers.. Hoping others will do the same for me! Would appreciate it much.. Now the reason..

Have a dr appt next week. Going to talk to them about changing my meds, wether it be mg change or diff prx.. I have been on oxycodonw 15mg, 4x day, for almost 2 yrs. it used to help with the pain, but not anymore ;(

Have tried most of everything out there for pain mgt, so we will see what steps can be taken. They tried to tell me 15 was the highest mg that comes in the codone, but I have read that is not true. I take 2 of mine to take the edge off, hoping roxi's will be what I need and be prescribed!

Any who, just need as much positive vibes as I can!!!
 
As a fellow beer enthusiast I know that feel HOOD. Keep up the good work bro wishing you the best over here. :)

Fingers are crossed for you too Roo!! Deadset keep up the positive vibes you'll smash through it guaranteed, positive psychology can change EVERYTHING. <3


& Here's cheers captain, hope the book is going well man :D
 
Holy shit you guys have got to slow down on that beer your all out of control obviously. Beer is bad for you Mkay
Ha I kid I kid i shouldnt be one to talk with all the 26ers of cheap tequila and kegs of beer I have pounded back in my lifetime.

CH cannabis extracts and beer must have you flying eh? Last time I did that I ended up at an "Iggy pop" show with no pants on, out in Denver Colorado. Not a very good time if I must say so.
 
Congratulations Hood!
I'm so glad to get off the opiates.

I might need Neurontin for my spinal nerve pain problems. I might not be totally clean then, if I take gaba stuff.. unsure of what to do. I have some big decisions to make. Heroin took everything from me. I know that as long as I don't put any full opiates in my system I should be okay. I don't like Neurontin for fun, so It might not be an issue.

I'm meeting with specialists soon. :)

I don't see a problem with you taking gabapentin that stuff is not very recreational anyways smoky. I have bottles after bottle of it at home I've never bothered taking because it didn't work and well it never got me high like opiates did. I never knew people used it as a recreational substance until I came to BL and and saw people's stories about using Gabi's to get high.
 
There's a ceiling dose with it tho and once you reach it, it's no longer effective and then all you have to look forward to are the Wds coming off it to try something else.
Been there myself.
But YMMV.

Clean of the things I can.
Opiates - done with (even kratom)
Benzos- just trying to lower my dosage for now. But would like off them in the long run.
Beer- wanna give it up so bad but every afternoon I trick myself into having a couple.
So I guess "kinda" clean.

Thanks you guys for advice above on Gabapentin. I have a bottle of it for nerve pain, and it did help with heroin withdrawals, but I don't like the way it makes me feel, certainly not like an opiod. It just makes me want to lie down when I don't want to - but it helps calm the nerves in the neck from disc compression.

Last thing I need is withdrawals through from a med I don't like. If it's something I need to build up to work consistently due to a capp I am not so sure.

I heard Valerian is used for nerve pain. It's a general nervine, meaning a substance that has a tonic effect on the nerves. Maybe I'll try that first. :)
 
I have gabapentin 600 mg that I am SUPPOSED to take 3 times a day, but your right smoky, it makes ur feel useless. The first time it was prescribed, not only made my crps worse, but made me feel like a zombie. Got off it for a cpl years, my mom gets it too. One night, just could get anything to help, popped one, and I asked for my old prx back. I only take them if I know I will need em and it's only usually at night to make my body relax.
Sending positive vibes your way that you find what you need!!

Side note, I personally, have known anyone to go thru withdrawls of it, I just now that once it wore off, the nerves that were being blocked from letting the person know they were in pain, came back. Sometime feeling worse, since they weren't used to it...
 
Thanks so much Roobear,

Yeah, that's the dosage, especially with Gabapentin 3x a day vs Lyrica. You're right. I had to take it 3x a day for withdrawals.
I tried Lyrica also, some time ago … and it made me feel manic and very itchy -- then there was a crash, following a rush of sorts. Both rather up and down for me and don't really help with pain, just calm the nerves in the neck, with a rebound. Hood, you and others have persuaded me to 'stay away'
Thank you, It's not worth it, maybe in emergency like herniations. :\

Smoky i didn't mean to persuade you into not taking it.
Just wanted to let you know what could go wrong.. not that it 100% will
It helped me A LOT. (Until my dose reached its peak and then it blowed)
Who knows, you might not get wds from it like i did.. everyone's different.
I just happen to have a very addictive personality (shit i could get hooked on ibuprofen, not really but you get what im saying)

Do what ya gotta do IMO bro.
If you do end up reaching the ceiling dose and it is no longer effective, at least your doctor can help with the wds by providing comfort meds.
Mine didn't but he's an asshat lol.
Ended up on opiate comfort meds when i kicked them tho, so he's not that bad a guy.

What mg were u up to a day? I was told I can take upto 5k.. Yeah.. That's what I said 5,000 mg if my nerve is bad or or tolerance goes up.. I'm pretty sure, personally, it would throw me I a coma. But then again, I'm a buck-0-2 soaking wet..

And the reference of getting addicted to ibuprophen, I get what ur saying and totally feel ya on a few levels. I don't get physically addicted to things, and not saying that in a conceited way, dr has ran test.. Any way, I sometime become antsy from bored one ect, then when I find something I like, I do it for a while, then I get bored, and move on to the next thing.. But if nothing there, it sucks cuz I have chronic back and leg pain, but I get thru it..
I think it's more of a mental addiction to whatever at times cuz I like it's something I can do and control, since I'm not able to do much of anything anymore.

I so hope that all my words came put sincere, I say it with love and that I didn't offend anybody.

Fucking auto correct!! There are a few words that may not make sense above, plz bare with me on em.. ;)

3,600mg was my "top" and where it stopped working for me.
I weigh just over 200bs so about twice as much as you.. im not fat though lol just broad and "full".
 
I get it, my hubby is pushing 3 bills but is all muscle, with a love hump (pot belly) which I LOVE!! That's what I notice dirst about him, then his face and it was love at first site.. Married on our one yr anniv from the day we kissed ;) sorry a lil off topic.. I'm just happy I found the 'one' who supports me in everything. Have it be a hobbie to my med intake. He kicks ass all the way around.

We call ppl who are not necessary fat/obese, but still 'full' like u say.. We call them 'fluffy'. Since our daughter is built like him, don't want her thinking she is fat ;)

Even tho I'm thin, thank u Graves' disease u stupid asshole, I take 1200 at night and if it bad thru the day I'll take a 600 in morn, then a 300 or 600 depending then 1200 at night. But the next day I feel like a zombie border line hung over from it. I personally don't like the film I feel on my brain, but could just be me. I'm a bit of a control freak with my body and when a drug wins the battle for a day, I get a lil pissy ;)
 
Thats good. Glad for ya. Just wish i could be gifted someone who can understand me and deal with my baggage and bullshit i give unintentionally. lol.
 
Sorry, re edited my post, so I didn't add a reply after mine, cuz I know it's against the rules.
