This was a great posting.

I am guilty of accepting a prescription from the doctor and assuming it is perfectly safe because a "doctor" wrote it. but now as of late I do immediately go home and get on the computer and read about the med as well as talk about it with my pharmacist. I find he has a complete history of all my meds.

I currently take oxycontin and vicodin as a booster for severe pain from the RSD and the neuropathy. But I am always concerned that I will probably have to go to rehab to get off these drugs. I have been on them for over a year. Hopefully though I can get weened off instead.

Thank you again for posting this very informative information. Chin Up!!
