I didn't know that Demerol was just for short time use, my Neurologist prescribed me 120 for a month!And if they worked i would have stayed on them. I have really really really bad chronic migraines.. The thing that works the best to relieve the pain at all seems to be Narc's. I've tried pretty much every other kind of migraine medication, the non narcotic pain relievers EVERYTHING. I have literally have not been down below a 5-6 on the pain scale for 7 years now my normal range is between 7-9 . If i run into 10 i have to make an ER run because i throw up so much that i can't stay hydrated and the only way to stop everything is to get IV fluid and some IV Diluadid... And i have finally found a Doc that is willing to work with me instead of just judging me because narcs are the only pain meds that have any effect on me pain wise. I started taking the Duragesic/Fentanyl patches in March or April of this year. They are the 75mcg's and i have a supply of 15/mo and a supply of Percocet for breakthrough pain which i use regularly. The patches have been doing a decent job of taking my "normal" migraine pain from a which after a really close call to death in May (i also have been dealing with a chronic kidney/immune disease), i was on life support for a week straight..i spent my 25th bday/mother's day on every life support machine you can think of, was being given IV nutrition.and because of the ventilator they had me under heavy sedation so i wouldn't pull out all the tubes i had sticking out everywhere. but especially the ventilator.) I am so lucky to be alive, i guess i only had a 1 in 10 chance to make it, and even with that most of the people that make it to be the 1 to live, die within that year. And yesterday i just found out that because of the total damage done to my body because of the sepsis, MRSA, and a chromobactor they found in my stomach, i now need a transplant, my kidneys are basically dead, i only have 9% function. i was on life support for a week straight..i spent my 25th bday/mother's day on every life support machine you can think of, was being given IV nutrition.and because of the ventilator they had me under heavy sedation) anyway back to my original point before i rambled and gave you info you could prob care less about --sorry...
But how and where would you buy OTC codeine? and how high of a dose would i need to take with a tolerance like mine? When i am in the hospital i get 4mg of IV Dilaudid every 4 hrs and while it makes me feel great, it doesn't really do much except make me feel high. I can still carry on a convo, stay awake and function just fine. The nurses are always freaking out when they first look at the order and think that its wrong at the start of their shift and end up calling my doc or his office etc to make sure its correct before they give it to me. And even then i get a lot of nurses that won't say anything to my face but you get that look where you know that they think you're a junkie or something, and give you the shot grudgingly. And are amazed when i don't get all loopy and just sit there and thank them for making me feel better and helping to get my pain under control.
I do have a few more things to ask you, (i just re-read your post) with the Fentanyl did you get the Mylan brand patches? That's what i usually end up with because that seems to be the type that the Pharmacies around here have are the flat stickers without the gel center. I will normally keep about 5 or so aside to "play" with but i always end up using 10 or so and having 5 to last me until i reach the time when my Perc's are ready to be renewed again. I normally cut them up into strips fuse 2 strips together (that way the med gets absorbed by both my gum-line and the inside of my lips. and i also cut one larger strip to stick on the roof of my mouth sticky on the roof of my mouth opposite my tongue.) So i use about 9 at a time and they last for a few uses. I was just curious that after they stopped giving you that nice buzz that way, if using those i had let absorb through my gums would do anything if chewed up? Say using the four from the top of my mouth and the four from the bottom being chewed into 2 separate but equal balls to help release whatever was left in them??? i didn't know if there would be much left because they were used just in my mouth and didn't know how much of the active drug would have been used because of all of the saliva???
And another question: is possible to get any kind of buzz off of grinding 10mg Perc's into a powder than attaching it to some kind of plastic or tape and stick it in your mouth in your gum line like someone would put in a dip? Can that med be absorbed through the skin in your mouth like chewing tobacco... i was just looking for something else to try for both pain relief when im puking and can't swallow anything, and for a little fun. You said that you had been addicted to Oxy's so i just wondered what methods you had tried, or if you had come up with some of your own that worked really well. I've tried snorting it... i might have been doing it wrong.,..All i was doing was crushing up the pills and snorting up the powder,,,I don't know... I just need some help/ideas for both using the Demerol that i have and figuring out how/where to get the codeine. and what may i ask is a CWE?
Thanks for the reply! I'm not new to the Narcotic, Benzo, or Opiate scene, I've just always been prescribed these things and have a nasty habit of using too much of it too quickly.any advice on helping with the WD's and i was also reading that gabapentin or Neurontin is some kind of wonder drug that some people have said makes the whole WD thing feel like its not even happening? Do you know anything about that? Thanks in advance.... I really appreciate any help you can give me. Otherwise I'm going to be completely freaking out because i won't be able to sit still at all and then my husband will know whats up and that will just add to the problem. He is one of those people that think that pain can be controlled by mind over matter and that if you get addicted you are weak. etc. He's just one of those people that hates any kind of pain killer, or any drug for that matter. When he has a head ache i have to force him to even take one Tylenol. Which really sucks when i get a horrible migraine attack where I'm barfing, blind, and going numb in places, he always seems to think I'm always freaking out when this happens and that is why it gets worse. Well maybe a bit but i get those kinds of migraines at least 3-4 times a month. So the whole "you can control it, you just aren't trying hard enough makes me want to kill him sometimes.! But again i am rambling. If you could either comment back on here or send me a message that would be great. I am new to this whole site even though I've been a member for a little over a year, this was my first post. So if i go about things the wrong way i apologize, I'm just a newb.
And again sorry for the epic post of basically my life story!
PS: I am prone to the RLS, whole body crawling sensation, sweating, and the insomnia. The Restlessness and insomnia are the absolute worst in my opinion. I hate being so exhausted but whenever i lay down i feel like i have to move my legs constantly or i will have a full on extreme panic attack. So any help you could throw my way would be appreciated more than i can express!
Thanks a million!
