Long story short. My back is fucked, couple of years ago I was carrying some heavy water bottles and some idiot pushed me over and I must have twisted the wrong way when I fell. After MRIs, X-rays, CTs ect they couldn't find anything wrong so they say it must be muscle or nerve damage.
My doctor started me on the standard diet of T3s but they weren't even touching the pain so he gave me perc 5's. Just one of those had my back pain at the back of my mind and I felt great (opiates, always making you feel good). After the 5mg perc 4 times a day he upped me to perc 5 x2 four times a day. I was worried about the apap so he put me on Supedol 10mg four times a day. You probably know it as roxis outside of Canada.
Well I had to move to Montreal and leave Vancouver so byebye family doc of 15 years. The guy trusted me like nothing. I could have asked for liquid fent if I wanted it and he could have given it to me. He knew I didn't abuse my meds or sell them. So when I got to Montreal the only family doc I could find was an intern at a clinic, fresh out of med school pretty much. Needless to say it was liking pulling teeth to get opiates from him since he thought that what I was taking before was too much or I was just selling them. Year later after going through everything from Lyrica to many other meds he finally put me back on 5 mgs of oxyIR 4 times a day. I told him that the stuff was barely touching my pain after being on a higher dose for so long. So after more teeth pulling I got put on Oxycontin 15mg every 12 hours and some OxyIR 5 mg for breakthrough pain but I was only supposed to use it if I REALLY needed it.
The thing is that recently I have noticed that the Oxy is starting to mess me up. It is causing over simulation, making me all speedy, and I can't sleep. Not really a problem normally but I am Bipolar I with rapid cycling so missing even one day of sleep has a chance to make me go manic and at this point right now I have been awake for 5 days straight. I need to ask him for a new painkiller that will have the same painkilling effects as oxy but more sedating. So does anyone have any ideas. No looking to get high, just want to keep living a semi decent life without wanting to feeling like I am going to die from pain.
Current meds I am on right now....
Oxycontin 15mg twice a day.
OxyIR 5mg ONLY AS NEEDED
Xanax 2mg ONLY AS NEEDED
Temazepam 30 mg at bed time if needed
Seraquel ER 900 mgs at bedtime if I am acting manic
Lithium 1200 mgs at bedtime
Epival 1000 mgs at bedtime
I don't want to have to use benzos in large doses every night just for the off chance that I might be able to break through the manic induced insomnia.
So what painkiller is equal to Oxy in painkilling ability but is more sedating. He wants me off the oxy anyway since he keeps hinting that I am probably selling my meds because he things oxy is king of the street drugs and in high demand. Once again I am not looking to get baked on this stuff, just want to have enough to keep my back from feeling like it had several knives stuck in it all through the day.
Thanks for the advice.
