Oxycontin 40mg twice a day, percocet 7.5mg for breakthrough pain, 4 daily, if needed, serax 15mg, 3 daily for panic attacks/anxiety (real bad flare trigger), soma 350mg, three daily, although I am slow to take all three, make me sleepy, I time them away from my other meds, only take half of one at a time, and welbutrin for depression, 150mg once daily. Tried two 150s daily, but I got way twitchy, made me too amped and the pain consequently got worse. I know it sounds like I ought to be living in a daze, but the truth is quite the opposite. The pain puts me into a fog that I'm not even aware of until my meds kick in, and then I can actually see a thin foggy kinda thing evaporate over a few minutes, my head clears, and I can think. Tried Neurontin and most all of the other new drugs that are available and they messed my head up worse than the 'evil opiates'. I have fairly good pain relief from this combination, although I can always feel the pins and needles and such, but it's a damn sight better than the weak help the new stuff gave me. It seems to be easier to moderate the pain, taking a half of a perc and half a soma and knowing that within an hour life will be better. Sometimes I need another half a perc, but that's rare. I was concerned when this all started that I'd be living as a zombie, and I hated the idea I'd be addicted to the meds, but aside from feeling like crap for a half an hour in the morning if I sleep too long and most of the meds wear off, I haven't a complaint. Not a zombie, not jonesing for a 'fix', just living my life. God Bless my doc, he's a good guy, doesn't assume I'm a liar or a doper, just a man in pain who needs his help. May you all find your own combo and live pain free, or better yet, be healed of this nasty business. Later all, Smoke
