Pain Medication ???
 

Is there a pain medication out there (to use for MS leg pain mostly) that you can function while at work? I have a hard time that most pain medication makes me dizzy & of couse I am asleep within 1/2 hour..... I use Darvocet now but can't take it unless I am at home. :(

My little lambchop, has your neuro ever mentioned neurontin (Gabapentin)?

Vicodin or Norco? I take either of those two meds during the day in half strength.

They do take the edge off...

nope.... I will ask

can't take Vicodin - I vomit within 20 mins of it in my system - never heard of Norco?

PCP called this afternoon and wants me to take 800 mg of Ibuprofin in the morning and midafternoon until I can see the neuro.

Norco is a stronger Vicodin. So if Vicodin makes your vomit in 20 minutes, then Norco will probably have you vomiting in 10... we wouldn't want our little lampchop throwing up all the time!

Ask about the Neurotin. Maybe 1/2 dose of dilantin? It's for the same kind of pain...I know that stuff put me to sleep so maybe it's not a good idea, but it did help...just a thought.

Get better...:hug:

Hi yeahbut
 

YEAHBUT,oh boy seems like I'm heard that for 30 yrs,by my 3 30
year old kids..Not about dope,just yeahbut..Well Cindy got a pretty
goos idea, Gabapentin sub for Neurontin it worls for ms,pn and many
other problems..The Ibunrofin make sure you take with food or milk.
Have you spilt the Darvocet,cut it in half,may not make you so dizzy.

Where am I??? Well doesn't matter getting my excersice,,Ok bye to
the most gorgeous,you know who you are..Well Hugs Sue

Sue that is where the yeahbut came from for me! my girls seems to say that all the time and it drove me crazy! They thought it was really cool though when I put it on my license plate and my email.... and they are 20 & 17!

Hi
 

Good idea that's what i'm trying to teach my 10 month old Grandson..
Ha hope it works..Hugs to you all,Cindy is that you lambchop???:confused:

I used Neurontin for over a year, 900mg a day, without side effects.

I also have used Valium (OK, can't remember how to spell Diazapam...uh..Diazopam, no...it is....sorry, having a morphine moment here) -- Those are the two I have used. My RLS went away for 4 years, just came back.

I now take Neurontin every evening -- 300mg. Seems to be working. When it REALLY gets me, I use my Oxycodone. But I have been on Avinza and used Oxycodone for a couple of years, so the Oxycodone does not put me to sleep.

Good luck with it...

Cindy, I know the answer to this question but I will let you answer since she directed the question to you...... ;)


Do you take the Valium for the RLS? My dad has just been dx with this... I don't know much about it but they haven't given him any drugs for it yet, he has to go to another doctor for that.
