Went to Google looking for information on some meds. I have serious health issues, and I'm in constant chronic pain from several sources, mainly my back. Was on a combination of medications for over 15 years, then a new primary care doctor cut me off cold turkey. Recently, I was put back on Hydrocodone 5mg/Acetaminophen 300...well turned out I had become allergic to it. So they put me on Morphine 15, and it did the same thing. My PCP then put me on Tramadol 50. It hasn't worked as expected. Pain level maxed out at 10. So doctor advised to get back on the Morphine even if it makes me itch intensely and uncontrollably...high pain level too dangerous to my heart. I found your site in the results from Google. I clicked on it, and was amazed and flabbergasted at some of the posts I read. there are a lot of people in my situation suffering from chronic pain. The only reason I registered on your site was so I could make a comment about this. I wanted to know if I could take the Tramadol, spaced hours apart, with the Morphine safely. What I found here, in my opinion, is people asking questions about narcotics just to get high or a buzz. I may have gotten the wrong impression. But I do feel strongly about what I read. People like the ones whose posts I read are what's making it very difficult for us, the ones in actual need pain relief, to get treatment. Then, it's very controlled and you have to submit to tests, and sign contracts. And there's a black market out there that people are mis-using and even abusing. What is wrong here? I sure hope I get some answers here. It is not my intention to criticize or cut anyone down. I'm terribly confused.
