I took 150mg of oxy IR (the 30s) in a day as an opiate naive person, and didn't get a nod from it.

The only time I ever got a nod from opioids was the first time I took MS 100s. I swallowed 1 of them, then 3 hours later when I was still at a 5 and sober, I chewed up another one to see where my tolerance really was. They were the blue endo ones.

I forgot to put Zofran on my list. lol
 
It can do that until you get used to it. Im completely tolerant now so it doesn't seem to help me anymore because I've been on the same dose for so long.
 
I've bounced my tolerance back andforth. I''l quit for acouple of weeks and indure the agony just to get my tolerance down so the meds will work again.That andI quit taking the drug that was causing the pain in the first place. My cardiologist wasn't happy, but I'd rather die from the heart disease than put a bullet thru my skull from pain.
 
My Happy list:
1)Roxicodone 30mg/120qt/month
2)Oxymorphone 15mg/120qt/month
3)Nortriptyline 75mg/30qt/month
4)Alprazolam 2mg/120qt/month

Do wish I had MMJ tho, except I dont know if my PM would allow me to keep my current regimen.
 
My happy list:

-Have no need for any fucking pharmaceuticals
-Be completely untethered from meds and be rid of the DEA's and my doctor's firm grasps upon my testicles.
 
I guess that would be my happy list...but I wanted to be slightly realistic lol...

edit: (though I fully realize my wish list isn't realistic lol)
 
My quality of life actually worth being around to experience list:
x amount of 100mg Ms continus
x amount of 80mg Oxycontin
x amount of Palladone
x amount of Diazepam and Clonazepam
 
Yeah-

I agree that is completely unrealistic but just finished watching the "Wizard of OZ" with my niece and could help but dream about living a life that doesn't currently exist. Don't tell the peeps. lol
 
You ever sit and watch all the other people prance about with their happy lives and complain about hurting their elbow or something and just sit there stewing inside.
Im watching everyone I know go out and get a life and im stuck with nothing being made to feel like a junkie for just trying to make a few days of the week bearable.
 
I had friends half-ass drop me because of the amount pills I take. They say, "I sheetrock, and I don't see how you always need something for pain. I can take one or two vicodin a day and get fucked up, what's wrong with you? I'm tired of watching you take pills all the time (they were referring to the ibuprofen and tylenol I take -.-) and wasting away. If you come over you're not allowed to bring you med bag in with you, leave it out in the car. I don't care if the 100 degree weather is bad for your meds."

I feel your pain mercc lol...
 
I think were about the same age ^

I've had a few friends just completely refuse to converse with me , sister has alot of hate for me cos she understandably hates seeing me nodding out.
People don't realise its a few hours of relief , its not meant to look fucking nice you fools. Now thanks to the university forcing me to phone my parents and tell them I'd been using hard drugs for a few years everything of mine is being searched. I don't think I could recieve stuff in the post anymore without it being searched. Its 'nuff to make you do something stupid I swear.
 
I lost most of my friends when i became ill because i can't do fun things like i used to i don't see any of them any more. Im used to being lonely now you just end up adjusting to the life of a recluse.
 
Yeah, this is kinda why university has been such a shock , your FORCED to be around people. I've been used to two years stuck in my laire at home with my meds and music.
This is very odd, very strange, a persecutory taste is in the air. I am expected to work whilst my mind is boujncing off the walls and my limbs are burning , well this makes perfect sense.
 
I had to quit my degree at the end of my second year when the crps spread i couldnt keep up due to my drawing hand being affected. Im starting a degree with open uni in Feb so i can work from my bed when Im bed bound it is perfect for me because i can talk to tutors via webcam.
 
One side of my family doesn't understand the need for medication. Friends are even worse. One "friend" asked me if I wanted to sell my medication. I lost it. "That is kind of crap that helped create this DEA mess in the first place". Friend no more.

Even when a doctor writes to the government that I simply can barely work with and probably not work without medication, discrimination continues. What is it? Do they think we are on a huge pill popping party and our pain is a joke?

I worked in agony for 4 years because I refused to take pain medication while on the job. Had I made an error and cost a patient their life while I was using pain meds it could have been disastrous. I suppose that is why I find the series "House" so interesting.

Granted Hugh Laurie plays a complete and arrogant bastard but he has to work in crippling pain every day and everyone around him is concerned when he starts taking methadone and throws his cane into a bin?

What might have happened if I took my medication on the job? Perhaps I would still have a job or perhaps I might have allowed a physician to tell a patient they had HIV when in fact it was my mistake that caused a false positive? The discrimination is real and not very pretty. I witnessed it first hand and in a setting that provides health care? That's an interesting conundrum.
 
Never been able to hold a job, can last about 6 hours until I basically start failing. Worked as a kitchen porter for abit, washing dishes in burning hot water - that did me a great favor.
