Mark,

First off, thank you =]. I'm prescribed Percocet from my pain management doctor. DEA is cracking down hardcore on doctors and pharmacies here in Las Vegas. The doctors are scared to prescribe over a certain amount, and the pharmacies are afraid to fill them. The small amount I'm prescribed doesn't get me through the entire month. My friend gives me just enough of the drug (Percocet) to make it last. But, like I said, my tolerance is going up fast. That's why I'm gonna start teetering down and use the 3-4 days on 3 days off method. Eventually, if everything goes as planned, I won't have to obtain them from an outside source.

Long story short, I do have a current bottle of legally prescribed Percocet every month. Even though I have a prescription, I never leave the house with them in my pocket. They're always locked away safe in my medicine box.

I really do wonder what part of the compound is improving these functions. If I could find out, maybe there's another route I could take for relief.



Living_Dazed,

Thanks for your response and concern. I've done extensive research on opiate-based pain medication. I'm aware of the risks that come with usage of that particular drug. I know what the withdrawals are like, I have lived them on more than a few occasions. Everything that is associated with using this medication, including the addiction and dependency is well worth it for me. You have no idea how much of my functions have been restored while using them. I won't say the problem is fixed, because it isn't. It's only a bandaid that works very well if taken on a regular basis.

About finding a doctor I could trust...There is no doctor who I could talk to about this. They would cut me off immediately if I were taking them for any other reason besides headaches. It's the cold, hard truth. Too many people out there who take it only for the HIGH that ruin it for people who really need them.

I'm sorry for what you're going through. I feel for you. I've been living in a nightmare for the last 3 years now. I am lucky to have found a temporary/bandaid solution to the majority of my problems. I wish for you to find peace as well.

Nick
