Hi All - appreciate it's late but would really need help before I saw my anaesthetist at 12PM GMT
Have been taking 3x10mg Oxycodone IR for 6 months - not really helping with the pain and this dose anmyore.
I was taking 25xmg Amitriptyline which helped with the pain, but suffered too my side effects so was hoping at trying Nortriptyline mixed with an opiate rotation as I've been taking Oxy for 6 months to either:
- Fentanyl (had before)
- Buprenorphine (not had before)
- Hydromoprhone (not had before but seems a good option)
- Methadone (not had before, but sceptical because of the cardiac effects)
- Pethidine (not had before but unlikely)
- Tapentadol (had before but just didn't feel the effects)
- Morphine (had it a billion times before, doesn't help.
- Under no circumstances will I try transdermal patches again as I swim regularly and they just proved to be a nightmare so that my rule Fentanyl out - I don't think they will prescribe it in instant release.
- Buprenorphine, I'm not so sure on. I like the opiate high every now and again, who doesn't? But it doesn't see as this will be possible on bupre?
- Methadone - I really want to try this as I firmly believe it'll be the best painkiller, but there seem to be so many complications, and I will surely lose my ability to abuse them.
- Pethidine, old and don't really know much about it, but it's still tried here in the UK.
- Tapentadol & Morphine, had both before and didn't really help.
So realistically hat leaves me with Fent, Bupre, Hydro or possibly Methadone. I'm hoping that one opiate will have a high cross tolerance so I can really bring my dose down and rely on the Tricylics a bit more.
So that really leaves me with Fentanyl tablets, or Hydromorphone tablets.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom before I see my pain management specialist? I've tried substances like GABAPentin and Pregabalin and they just spaced me out so badly, I wouldn't want to try them again. Maybe Pregabalin at a lower dose, or even Dosulpein?
