well i was sniffing 12- 15 15mg oxy ir's a day before so i thought id easily get by with 10 20mg ocs a day and it has been a week and i have gone through 90 of my 20's and am not betting the buzz i used to at all. it seems to work best if i just swallow 2 at a time and chew one up, i can sleep longer than 3 hrs w/o waking up sick and needing to sniff a pill. im thinking that if i had oc 60 and just swallowed it 3 x a day i wouldn't be high but i wouldn't be sick either and i could just get on with my life. i have an appointment with a pain dr next week. my pcp refered me because he wouldn't up the 90 15mg irs he gives me a month and i HEARD about this guy so he gave me the referral. my pcp is the one that suggested pain mang dr. and i also get rxs off my rhuematologist each month 60 20s and 180 15s. bewteen the 2 drs i do ok as long as my s.o stays out of them and he just went back on subs so should be ok there. what im wondering is should i tell the pm dr ive been getting rx off both drs and want him to just manage my pain soley. that i didn't realize i was committing a crime, and i didnt really realize just how much trouble i could get in. or should i just feel him out the first visist and see how it goes. he thinks im just getting the 90 15's a month. how do i approach this subject or justify the high dosages im on. yeah tolerance builds fast. and im gonna tell him i have to take more its just my pcp doesn't want to hear it. any suggestions or as anyone gone through similar thing and how ddi you handle it? im on interferon inj every week and they make you feel like your in withs. the first month or so i kept taking more and more of my meds thinking that was what was wrong cuz they just didn't seem to work and by the time i realized it didnt matter how many i did i was just going to feel like shit for 3-4 days. by then my tolerance was up and i needed that many. i would like to get my tolerance down so any suggestions out there on how to reduce my dose myself to get it back to say 8 or 10 irs a day from 15 - 20. if i cut my dose in half for 4 days and just deal with the sickness would i eventually feel better and be able to maintain on the half dosage or am i just doomed? i don't care about being high anymore i just want to not be sick at this point. im weaning off to subs after interferon tx is over anyway. but there is no way subs will work for me at the dosages im on now 250-300 mg a day without being sick for 4-8 days. i know thats alot of requests here but any insight or advice on the dr and dosage redux would be appreciated
