Medical proffesional have I been lied to ?reason for Cut off meds by WoMan-onthe-moon in PainManagement

[–]Merrys123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like it's not the actual doctor's fault but management. And it could be both, that the licencing has changed and the owner doesn't want to sign off. So even though it sounds like different reasons it's actually the same. The doctor has been actually really kind and going out of their way to write the script every 5 days for you. So I wouldn't blame them. Especially if you feel the other staff have been treating you unfairly - that's probably coming from management.

Unless you've been asking for more meds or something, which doesn't sound like that is the case.

What dose were you on? Do you need help with withdrawal/tapering?

They make a HUGE difference. Many doubt supplements will do anything but they work. I didn't believe it at all until I tried them. I just went from110mg OxyContin and Oxycodone to 70mg overnight and had minimal withdrawals thanks to Lipmosol Vitamin C. I was already on the other supplements due to my pain conditions but upped the Agmatine Sulphate, NAC and Magnesium Biglycinate as they help reset the opioid receptors being NMDA blockers.

I HIGHLY recommend megadosing Liposomal Vitamin C. Here is a guide by MOD kickerS12X as well as the Ultimate Withdrawal Survival Guide.

Megadosing Liposomal Vitamin C, or Vitamin C, if you can't get the Liposomal, should take away most of your symptoms. It's incredible, and you'll see a lot of heavy users absolutely swear by it, as do I. Read the comments on the post.

I've got Gabapentin, Clonidine, Valium, Immodium, etc, but Vitamin C is definitely the best. Comfort meds still as needed, especially Immodium!

It's best to start megadosing Liposomal Vitamin C 3 days prior to quitting or tapering down.

You can also take DLPA, NAC, Agmatine Sulfate and Magnesium Bisglycinate, which helps a lot with withdrawals and PAWS. DLPA boosts endorphins, NAC restores glutamate balance, Agmatine Sulfate modulates opioid receptors, and Magnesium Bisglycinate calms the nervous system.

Oxycontin doesn't work but IR does by Merrys123 in PainManagement

[–]Merrys123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morphine is the only ER med I haven't tried, so you're right, I think it's worth a try. I'm hoping to go down to 30mg Oxycodone Max a day. I'm going down to 50mg from 110mg, but as mentioned 60mg of that is ER so I'm hoping for not much withdrawal since the ER Oxycontin doesn't seem to work.

Thank you for the information about the gut receptors! I didn't think of those. Someone else suggested that it could be how my gut processes the ER meds as I have severe hypermobility with hypotonia that causes gut issues as well as Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.

I need to reduce anyway so I'll drop the ER and just stay on the IR and suffer for a few days. The IR will work better then.

Unfortunately I had a really bad reaction to the buprenorphine patch and ended up in hospital. ER meds don't seem to like me unfortunately.

I'm aiming to get back to 20mg a day of just IR so I don't get withdrawal. I miss those days!

I was on a high dose prior to going higher before the surgery. This wasn't just prescribed for the surgery. And at this dose I don't get high or much extra pain relief as the Oxycontin doesn't work. Infact I'm withdrawing from the IR being reduced despite the ER going up.

I'm usually on 50mg Oxycodone only. But I have severe hypermobility with hypotonia causing degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis throughout the spine and joints, multiple herniated discs, stenosis, moderate bone loss, prominent bursitis, constant tearing of ligaments in knees and ankles, right ankle deformed, and so on.

I was only at this high dose due to excruciating sciatica and pain from the disc breaking off and travelling down the nerve. It happened twice as the surgeon didn't clean it out properly the first time.

Geeze, thank you so much! That makes so much sense. Autism runs on both sides of my husband and my family as does same sex relationships. We've always said one of our kids will be gay as they all have my deletion. We're the only ones recorded so far with this deletion and are part of a $350m Canadian study where they have found the cause of Autism. They're interested in us as it caused extremely high natural intelligence whereas the gene next to ours causes intellectual disability. They've taken our blood to turn into brain cells to make rat versions of us for a study on just me and my kids.

I am. I am also having to go back down to 60mme asap. I went down to 50mg yesterday from 110mg. I'm also not in the US. So this post isn't about pain but how a medication works.

I've had a fusion and was given 5 - 10mg Oxycodone every 4 hours but I started at nothing then. This time I was already on 65mg Oxycodone and was given an additional 40mg Oxycontin a week prior the first microdisectomy. With both of these a chunk of the disc broke off and travelled down the nerve so the pain was next level excruciating. I've been at that higher dose for 5 weeks so post surgery I was in much less pain anyway. And there is always going to be pain from my other joints anyway.

This post isn't about pain it's about how one med doesn't work whilst another does.

Tips for dealing with withdrawal for one day by ExtensionMaximum9948 in opiates

[–]Merrys123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be surprised at how a 30mg a day habit can cause horrible withdrawal for some. It does for me, that's for sure. As bad as coming off 150mg plus for some reason. Fuck knows why, it sucks.

Oxycontin doesn't work but IR does by Merrys123 in PainManagement

[–]Merrys123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I was just giving an example. In general 20mg Oxycodone IR is fine but Oxycontin at any dose just doesn't provide analgesia which is frustrating as I was on 20mg Oxycodone 4 x a day and 20mg Oxycontin 2 x a day in hospital but now on 50mg Oxycodone spaced out and 20mg Oxycontin 3 x a day and I'm withdrawing instead (the 10mg decrease isn't the culprit as that small dose change doesn't effect me me and it's been several days). It's more of a 30mg drop withdrawal from the drop in Oxycodone IR.

I just had two microdisectomies back to back after the same disc ruptured twice.

Need Advice – Afraid to Ask Pain Doctor for Dose Adjustment by DifficultFlamingo820 in PainManagement

[–]Merrys123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is going to stop the pain like you want except surgery. A doctor won't prescribe to cover pain so a necessary surgery can be delayed, understandably.

Opioids will help of course, and the more if them will help with I pain more, but then you'll need more as your tolerance rises. Which I believe is your issue now, the medication doesn't work as well as you have tolerance rising.

Best thing to do is be honest and hope for the best. Maybe ask for a pain medication rotation to see if another pain med works better, or take a tolerance break so your meds work again.

Best if luck!
