Hey
@TessaBella
I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with what I assume is a very uncomfortable situation. What would be helpful for me would be a little more information regarding your current intake. You mentioned Gabapentin (Neurontin), Clonazepam (Klonopin) and Baclofen. Are you currently taking these drugs and if so, what are the dosages and how long have you been taking each? Do any of these auxiliary medications have a positive impact on your pain or more generally, your quality of life?
For those who are experiencing pain, I would tend to recommend using something like Gabapentin if it actually helped. The synergy that is created by the combination of these two drugs can lead to lower dosages for each medication respectively. In this world, both from a biological sense (you want to keep your tolerance low) and a political sense (Opioids are not easy to obtain, hence lower dosages directly correlate to an easier time acquiring the medication on a chronic basis).
There are other Opioids that you can try besides Oxycodone. I understand this is an easy jump for prescribers to make, but there is not reason why you couldn't try something like Morphine, Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) or what have you. If you are in need of something stronger than Hydrocodone, you can also just pursue a higher-dose version of Hydrocodone. For instance, they do have extended-release Hydrocodone products that feature higher dosages per unit and cut out the APAP (Paracetamol) - (Tylenol).
As
@evo4ever has said, you don't have to wait for any specific reason like, "these drugs are dangerous when combined", just wait the normal amount of time you would wait in between your Hydrocodone dosing and try again with the Oxycodone
Can I please ask, what are the worst symptoms that you experience when you're taking these Opioids? Nausea? If so, there are ways of remediating these symptoms that are not extreme or difficult to acquire. Do you use Cannabis? Are you open to using Cannabis? I throw this at every pain patient I encounter here on the forums. Cannabis is an awesome medication for pain, nausea and frankly, lots of other shit. Cannabis can enable you to use a lower total dose of Opioids and can also help mitigate some of the negative side effects of Opioids like the aforementioned nausea.
Get back to me with a little more information and I will do my best to help you out.
