I use my Tramadol as Rx'd - 50mg as needed. Supposed to be every 4-6 hours, but I usually don't make it 3 before re-dosing.
My issue is that I also use oxy in the meantime for mornings / BT pain. Much less now that the trams are actually doing something positive for me, but I still need that something extra. I'm REALLY hoping that I can get hydrocodone 5mg combined with ~400mg ibuprofin for mornings and BT pain. 5-10mg in the morning, and another 5 later in the day (a bit after noon) would get me right where I need to be to resume functioning as a productive member of society. I'm almost at that point now, but I still feel debilitated / useless because of my whole body feeling like a box of ass...
Oh, but because I'm 22 and smoke weed they all think I'm just looking for drugs. Hey assholes, I'm not going in asking for Roxycodone 30mg IR.. I just want some basic fckin meds that actually work!
I also have pretty big problems with anxiety - even taking my .5mg KP this morning I'm getting the classic "pounding chest" from being on edge of a nervous break down. Granted I binged on them yesterday (I do it maybe once a month), so a little rebound anxiety is to be expected, but I shouldn't feel as though doing anything but listening to music and talking to people on BL is "too much" for me to handle. One of these days I'll be able to get a proper job. AND THEN LEAVE this god-forsaken cold-ass part of the world. I wanna head south, SO BAD.
I should have used all the $$ I get from car repair and parts swapping / flipping to move to Arizona, Utah, NM, or Texas when I had the chance. Now I'm waiting to get my proper welding certification so I can move anywhere and be guaranteed to find work.
Got my own plan, now just need a loyal companion... (One thing at a time though I guess.. - my OCD allows me to focus on ONE thing at a time though. I'll either be 100% enthralled by some female, or have ZERO interest in women and only want to work on my car, or whatever. I "cycle" as my doctors have all put it).
