Thank you for helping, I will be at 1800mg a day on Monday. 3x600mg pills.
I have only been on for less than a month. I want to see how 1800mg does for the burning. I know what you mean about needing another pain med while you ramp up or for breakthrough. I have been taking hydrocodone when I need it for the late afternoon hours. I have several problems, I also have colonic inertia, which means food passes very slowly, and chronic consitipation, so I have to drink more water and take stool softeners more, so the painkillers dont constipate.
It seems like you said, everyone has a "cocktail" that works for them..
I take Neurontin, Bentyl( for muscle spasms), and then something for breakthrough Hydrocodone or ?
I am seeing a pain management spec in 2 weeks, so I will see what will be needed then.
