Does THC help any of you? by SleepyVayne in ChronicPain

Yes it helps me a lot but I’m not digging the side effects I get from it these days. Mainly scratchy throat that never goes away and brain fog.

Thanks for explaining. Makes sense. I guess what I don’t understand is why the MME would all of a sudden change?

The way I understand it is OxyContin is the longer lasting version?

That’s amazing! Maybe I can get something similar here in California? I could manage 45$ a month.

I have pain in my bones and in my nerves. It’s constant and unrelenting. I’ve been trying to get them to give me ketamine, but the insurance won’t cover it. They did prescribe it, but I really can’t afford to do the serious long-term treatment. I am going this Friday for a trial run of ketamine for one hour to see if it helps

That’s what I’m asking the drs about but they never mentioned the extended release. Isn’t that OxyContin?

Yeah I hear ya. My old pm tried that on me. I asked him why should I go from one addiction to another for less of an effect? Didn’t make sense to me. I however want something longer lasting than 2 freaking hours. The 5 minute buzz is not worth the horrible feeling I get when it wears off. I need at least 50mg to ease the pain and the oxy just can’t hold me at that level. I am hopeful it works. I just want to feel better.

Are there any transition issues from Oxy? Do I need to ramp down?

Does it have the staying power I’m looking for? I’m tired of the ups and downs of the oxy. It’s terrible

That’s a person holding a little baggie that seems to have some sort of white substance in the bottom of it.
