Hey everyone,
I'm April, im from Texas. Just came across the board today, still dont know what its all about but thought id sign up and find out anyway.
Ive had chronic pain for years and have dealt with several different medical problems ( i have explained on my profile). I am so scared to get addicted to pain meds but ive found that i really need them. Anyway, i hope i find friends here that i can talk to and maybe understand what im going through. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Try asking about neuronton, its a non narcotic pain reliever that in theory is non addictive. You dont seem like the kind of person whos on this site to learn more about drugs as a recreation so it should be a safe medication to take as long as you dont exceed the prescribed doses. I was prescribed it for my back because i have a long history of benzo/opiate abuse and id say its even more effective than narcotics for my back. Be careful though because its kind of a fucked up medication in that at 1800 mgs i had a psychotic episode that lasted almost two days and after a month of 1200 mgs a day plus i experienced uncomfortable withdrawl symptoms lasting a week. I also notice that it can make me irratable and kills my short term memory but the same can be said about any narcotic that a doctor might prescribe. Hope that helps

Hi! Thank you for the reply.
No, i am not here looking for ways to get high. I do have to keep increasing my dose though because it seems like taking just 1 doesnt even take the edge off, so i went to two and then three at a time.. Someone suggested a detox but i dont know where to even start with that.To be honest, ive read some of those threads and got so saddened. My medical problems just keep on getting worse and i have to take more and more pain meds to be able to feel okay. Currently im taking 2 Vicodin norcos a day, sometimes twice a day.

I have taken Nuerontin in the past and it really didnt do anything for me at all. Last weekend at the lake, somone took all but 10 of my vicodins so now idk what to do, its going to be a long while before i can get more and i don REALLY need them. I made a police report when i found them gone but i really cant tell you who may have gotten them, i just know im hurting and now have nothing to help with it. Is there something stronger than Norco that i could talk to my doctor about? I dont even sleep anymore, i feel so unlike "myself" anymore. I just dont want to be miserable /
