Yay? I'm just wondering what I need to ask for to deal with the breakthrough pain. I'm worried about going through more med trials. Maybe somebody here can offer a suggestion of a really good drug that will work for me. Here is what I've dealt with already (during this or in the past).
Currently taking: Oxcarbazepine, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Levothyroxine, B12 combo w ALA and some other stuff, Magnesium, medical marijuana, mirapex What hasn't worked: Gabapentin (made me too stupid), Tramadol (horrible reaction that involved puking), Vicodin (either doesn't work or if I take enough for it to work it does my stomach hurts even w food), Percocet (I got addicted in hospital off half what I was told to take, took 6 weeks to ramp down and stop, but man that was a good high) Advil (I can take it on a case by case basis, but not continuously or my stomach will hurt) Despiramine (took it at night, woke up all sweaty and feeling horrible at a really low dose, had to stop it) I have to work, I already have a harder time concentrating on work. I can't be all spaced out all the time. The pot works to help me deal with most things, but I can't use it at work, and it only helps so much. I need something for breakthrough pain and also when I'm at work. So I'm guessing maybe two things. I also have a generic only rx plan, at least until Nov when it renews. I can't afford anything out of pocket right now, at least for a few months from now. I'm kind of afraid to take more opiates considering what happened with the percocet. I need something that works, doesn't make me "high" (I could have one that does that as long as I have another option for work, I can be as high as a kite the other 16 hrs in the day as long as I'm good for work), doesn't upset my stomach, and something non-addictive. So what are my options? |
