Hi there Newbie to site

[Beachbobble]

Hi I am a 51 yr old female with a chronic pain condition due to spinal fusion and multiple spinal defects. I am also lucky enough to have fibromyalgia as well. I have tried many different meds over the past ten years. Recently my dr tried me on oxyneo 10 mg in daytime and 20 mg at night as well I take gabapentin 400 mg and clonazep 1 mg both at night. My pain is severe when I lay in bed and thus I am sleep deprived. I really want a quality of life. I like to have a drink once in awhile but I am scared due to the meds. I am talking once every two weeks but I am not sure of a safe way to do this so I came to the site to find out. Hope someone can give me advise thanks

Welcome to bL. I'd recommend you check out the Pain Management Mega Thread if you haven't stumbled on it yet. Lots of people there who will be able to relate and offer helpful advice.

As to mixing alcohol in with that many other CNS depressants, it's not really something I could in good faith advise. Everything has a cumulative effect, and especially if you get carried away the risk for respiratory depression will very quickly enter dangerous territory.

Any question about the site. Feel free to ask. Good to have you.
