Well I called my doctor today and asked him how much he knew about Levorphanol. Considering his knowledge of medications (he looks them up on an app on his iphone..heh, well he is an "intern" being apprenticed by full MD. Anyway, he said that he would talk to his master and call me back. Well he did call me back and said that he was willing to see me and we could talk about it, he wasn't against prescribing it to me but had to ask me a few questions first. So maybe this one will be the ticket.
My back was killing me so bad today that I took a 600 mgs of Lyrica, 60 Mgs of Oxycontin, and and about 30mgs of Oxy IR through out the day. I was high as a kite and still felt like I had a spike stuck in my back. I can't keep pumping myself full of these drugs at this level. I am going to build a tolerance to the Lyric really fast at that dose and I can't go floating around on massive doses of Opiates, when I take that much I feel like I want to puke my guts out most of the day.
Is Levorphanol some kind of super opiate or something. I have looked it up on the net but they don't really give many details about it besides side effects, addiction, blah blah blah. You guys know better than the websites out there.
That is alot of meds to take in 1 day & you could still feel the "spike stuck" in your back.
I can only tell you from my experience with Levorphanol. I went in for out patient surgery & was given Levorphanol. For the surgery I had, I was surprised how well Levorphanol worked & I was able to walk out after 30 minutes after the surgery & the pain med lasted about 8 hours after it was given to me. I can only imagine how great of a narcotic Levorphanol is w/o severe pain. Imo, Levorphanol beats Oxycodone hands down by far & many other opiates.
K'D Out received 100 Levorphanol pills in a bottle before & said he loved them. He also mentioned in this thread you should ask you doctor about switching from Oxy to Levorphanol just like I recommended.
Levorphanol has a long half life which is something you will really appreciate since you have chronic pain.
