I am a chronic pain patient. PHN extremely severe acute and chronic suicide pain for 2 years. Had real bad shingles. It went away but the pain did not. It got worse. 10/10 24/7 unrelenting non stop. Tried all the stuff, injections in spine, all the meds, tradition and obscure ones. MRIs. Pain clinics. Infectious disease units and many others.
I am a big ongoing case study. Only thing that works is high dose opioids. I only take oxycodone now as I am sick and tired of being an experiment rat. 40mg oxyneo 4x day plus 20mg x 3 supeudol a day for B/T. I was on high dose hydromorph before but didn't like the drowsy so I went back to oxy. I can pick and choose what and how much I want. Addiction not happening. Well understood by all that I will leave this world if pain not controlled.
I am having a hard time sleeping from the oxy now for some reason. I wake every hour and not from the pain always. I quit MMJ and weened off clonazepam 2mg x 3 a day down to .5 sub Ativan a day. I want to take 50mg lyrica but afraid it will potentiate the oxycodone and ativan then never wake up. Does it seem safe to take? From my .5 ativan at 8pm is it safe to take the lyrica at 1am?
