Misc non-opiate pain medication

^I agree for myself as well but I avoided mentioning that since 1.) I'm sure he's familiar with that option and 2.) if he's in recovery, its probably not the best idea.

Isnt methadone a pain killer?
Click to expand...

Yeah, but methadone's analgesic effects only last about 6-8 hours and MMT is usually only once a day dosing. Methadone is able to keep a person stable/out of withdrawals for 24-hours+ but its main pain killing effects last 6-8 hours after dosing. The residual effects of methadone last for a long time, hence the once-a-day dosing of MMT.

Also, sometimes methadone just isn't enough to treat some types of pain.
 
Toradol works well.

Its one of the only (maybe the only?) NSAID's which actually cross the BBB and bind to receptors in the brain.

I used it after a shoulder surgery a while back, and it worked well. Supposedly its painkilling effect is comparable to demerol, but I'm not sure.

It worked for me. Thats all I know.
 
When I was just in rehab, detoxing from iv opiates, wich I now believe I was self medicating with because of how bad my knees now hurt (over a week after withdrawal and all other symptoms have subsided so I believe it is genuine pain), I was given a medication I had never heard of.

My knee started hurting on day 5 of the detox, extremely bad.

I would rate this pain a 7 or 8 out of 10.

They were giving me tylenol and motrin which didnt even touch the pain.

Then the nurse came back and told me she had a medication that she prescribes for people who have stomache cramps that MIGHT help to relieve the pain in my knee.

She comes back with a little blue pill that reminded me of the roxy 30s and I got excited, then quickly remembered im in rehab and they are not going to prescribe me my poison for a fucking ache no matter how bad it is.

She then tells me it is called Bentyl.

I took the pill and about 2 hours later my knee felt totally fine. I felt litterally like I was through the withdrawals entirely. The pain was gone for a solid 24 hours and it then slowly progressed back to the same pain level as before taking the pill.

I just looked this pill up and apparently it is prescribed for people with IBS for relief of their abdominal pain. I cannot find any literature speaking of off label use for pain relief, but it worked very efficiently.

I did feel a bit of nausea as if this were a super high dose nsaid or something similar, totally worth the pain relief effects, and I imagine it was a combo of me being in rehab eating cheap food and taking the med though and am sure I could deal with the minor nausea easily in day to day life, I ate some bread and it went away.

Anyone else have experience with Bentyl?
 
Toradol is the only non-narcotic analgesic that has ever relieved any pain I had, and I tried mostly every other NSAID and nerve pain relief out there. I wish I could take it everyday since I can't get prescribed any narcotic analgesics, but alas it is not that simple. I'd definitely check it out, 3 days of IM injections are a lot better than nothing at all...
 
^Have you ever tried it orally?

I have had it a couple times IV and it was pretty impressive.

A friend of mine was kidnapped and beaten very, very badly by a coke dealer and his face was incredibly swollen. After they IV'd him toradol you could visibly see the swelling in his face reduce substantially, it was surreal.

this.

When my arthritis started, I got a shot of this and was amazed at the relief it gave me.
 
Toradol, I got that in the ER once but they didn't tell me what it was, they said

"We are going to give you a shot to help the pain" I thought oh good an opiate.

They gave me the shot, the pain was relieved substantially, it really was impressive....but I was still in pain and asked for another shot, (Feeling like a greedy dirty seeker since I had a n opiate tolerance, even though the pain was very legit).

The nurse than said, "OK we're gunna have to try something with a narcotic in it, Is that ok with you"

Needless to say it was ok with me, I felt tricked almost, than stunned because I actually got an IV NSAID they could have passed off as an opie, even on a fiend, impressive.
 
Toradol is orally active but you have to watch out, it isnt recommended for long term pain management because of the whole stomach lining thing.
 
^That's an issue for any NSAID that inhibits both cyclooxygenase-1 and 2 (basically every NSAID except celebrex).

VERY basically, cox-2 inhibitors interrupt the inflammatory process and cox-1 inhibitors reduce stomach lining production making GI complications more likely.

My ortho put me on Mobic ( meloxicam ), not to be confused with Motrin. Mobic is another one of the NSAID's and it really works well for me. Torondol is really good as already said.

I have not tried it orally. I was in the hospital because of some post surgical pain (excruciating pain, mind you) and I was on suboxone. They gave me two shots of Dilaudid and the suboxone kept kicking it off the receptors. They finally gave me Toradol and I did not expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it relieved my pain just as much as I would expect an opiate would without the suboxone fucking with it. Best NSAID by far and would love to have a stash of Toradol to take orally.
 
Uhm.... pardon me for asking but wouldn't the methadone you are taking, assuming its a stabilizing dose and not a low low dose that people stay on long-term when they want to stay off the junk; wouldn't that help kill your pain more so than any of the NSAIDs recommended above? I know that being given toradol myself as an ex IV-H/D user that the methadone was way more effective at getting rid of the pain as opposed to the steroidal anti inflammatorys. Feel free to viciously trash me for saying that if you aren't on a stabilizing dose like I am, but in my opinion nothing really besides more prescription opioids/opiates will kill pain assuming it is chronic and not something that is non-idiopathic like resetting a bone or sewing up a deep cut.
