GOOD THREAD ----
I am only on 3 of them and I am getting off 2. Celebrex and Advair. I am back on Naprosyn and now I am on QVAR for my damaged small airways in my lungs.
My biggest med worry, other than the LARGE doses of morphine/oxycodone is the Gigantic Doses of Naprosyn and Robaxin I took for several years. When my back was killing me in the late 80s to late 90s, before morphine, I would take 4500mg of Naprosyn and 6000mg of Robaxin (Methacarbanol) a day. I knew this was not good for me, but the agony was such that I slept on my elbows and knees, in the "fetal position" many nights.
I was still flying in the Air Force and the Flight Surgeon prescribed 800mg Motrin for a few years, then after I retired, civilian doctors gave me the Naprosyn/Robaxin.
So which is worse? Morphine or heavy doses of muscle relaxers/anti-inflamatories? I guess I will find out one day.
