I am nearly 30 weeks pregnant & have very badly herniated discs. This pregnancy was not planned but very much wanted.
I am living in pain, day & night & now I've dug myself into a hole & I don't know what to do.
My prescriptions have been changing as my obstetrician & I have been trying to find what works.
I am also away at my parents at the moment- 2000km from home so that has it harder. I live in Australia by the way.
I am prescribed at the moment 30mg oxycontin 3x day + up to 4 10mg oxynorm for breakthrough pain. I regularly go over what I am supposed to have but then my ob has prescribed stronger ones so she doesn't really know I have used that much more, just that prescription isn't enough.
Before the 30's I was prescribed 40's. They were making me sick & I dropped them into a pharmacy so I wasn't tempted to use them.
Apparently there is no record of this?!?
I rang my ob today so she could fax a script of 20mg oxycontin as the 30s are still making me nauseous + I've run out.
She tried but the govt won't let her unless I took some of the others back to a pharmacy as they think I might be selling. I'm not, just icing too much, am addicted and fighting my inner demons everyday.
She rang the pharmacy & there is no record of my return.
I only have a few 10mg oxynorm a left. I will go into withdrawal tomorrow & I don't know what I should do.
I know I have done the wrong thing but trying to cope with pain is doing my head in.
I have so much guilt constantly & I know I can't go into withdrawal for the baby's sake.
My obstetrician is doing what she can but her hands are pretty much tied. I knew this would catch up with me & I can only blame myself.
The only thing I can think of is to go to the hospital but I don't know what to say or do...
I don't know what to do, any advice truly appreciated.
