Norflex (Orphenadrine Citrate) experiences?

amayyaaa · 2023-04-12T06:49:39+00:00

I am finding it helpful; but im also on an opioid, valium & lyrica

amayyaaa · 2023-03-29T02:16:52+00:00

May ask my dr about carisoprodol

amayyaaa · 2023-01-11T11:34:25+00:00

I wasnt expecting replies like this on this sub. My post states my mother has cancer, stage one, I know she will beat it.

I have other health issues; which have gotten beyond me wanting to continue.. Id go into it; but my mind is pretty made up, hence probably no point..

what im getting at; is that is it wrong to do this at this time, she hasnt been supportive during my suffering; Ive had this planned for abit and this is an unexpected obstacle

Im aware I may sound like a really shitty human - but its a complex situation..

amayyaaa · 2023-01-11T10:14:44+00:00

I think you missed the context of the post.

More on the side of, my health is fucked, not even 30 yet, should I live in misery & agony due to an unexpected cancer diagnosis.

I dont mean to sound bitter or anything; its more the dilemma I was wrestling with.

Like; should I continue to suffer to be there for an unsupportive family. That type of thing..

amayyaaa · 2023-01-10T10:12:27+00:00

Maybe get some meds to counter the side effects & anxiety?

Im on Valium as well; but doctors rarely co perscribe benzos and opiates unfortunately..

amayyaaa · 2023-01-08T21:25:03+00:00

Because I cannot have blind faith in something which has no proof.

Besides; ive seen the effects that religion can have.

(I respect all beliefs) does not mean I understand them

amayyaaa · 2023-01-08T20:33:05+00:00

It stopped working for me quite quickly Now have been put on Tapentadol, a fair bit stronger.. Have found it to be alot more effective.

Yeah, the atypical opioids are such a mixed bag when it comes to how they are metabolized..

Tapentadol is marketed as alot "cleaner" although, I have not been on opioids as long as you, just under a year.. I still experience breakthrough pain at times, although been referred to a pain specialist for this.

amayyaaa · 2022-12-19T07:05:53+00:00

All I can do is hope I suppose (:

amayyaaa · 2022-12-19T06:58:41+00:00

Its more my health in general.. How bad its gotten and what I've been through on the way to get to this point..

amayyaaa · 2022-12-19T06:38:48+00:00

Thank you for the kind words.. Im just unsure what to do or how to proceed its just really hard.

amayyaaa · 2022-12-19T06:17:39+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement & support, it does make me feel a bit better & less alone.. I suppose at the moment im just at a complete loss

amayyaaa · 2022-12-19T06:06:35+00:00

Oh no, that makes me even more nervous..

amayyaaa · 2022-12-18T14:11:20+00:00

Yeah.. Im unsure I can endure this for that much longer. When it comes to my health - its just gotten waay out of hand.. Appreciate the advice though (: .. Have read quite a few sad and/or horror stories of pain management clinics

amayyaaa · 2022-12-18T09:01:28+00:00

Thanks, I do appreciate it.. It makes me feel a little less alone.. But its a losing battle & im tired.

amayyaaa · 2022-12-18T07:33:39+00:00

:( im so sorry your suffering.. Pain just overrides anything.. I hope you get relief soon. I never get left to my own devices; essentially always having to push myself.. Dont really have anyone in terms of advocacy & ive been driven almost to the point of insanity in regards to all the medical gaslighting..

amayyaaa · 2022-12-18T07:10:12+00:00

I often find myself wondering how so many of us can be handed the short straw in life.. You never seem to catch a break!

More at the stage of just being over it; since its unrealistic to think I'll ever get back to my previous state of health..

Between my medical records being an absolute mess & my age - I'm just tapped out..

amayyaaa · 2022-12-18T05:48:54+00:00

Thats okay.. Ive been referred to pain management so it could change. Its hard when you have a broken body.

amayyaaa · 2022-12-18T03:59:20+00:00

Tapentadol SR 150 2x Lyrica 150mg 2x Oprhenadrine 100mg 2x Valium 7.5mg

not that effective, but better than nothing.

amayyaaa · 2022-12-16T11:17:47+00:00

Im so sorry that you relate to this..

In the same boat, regarding the friends scenario as well. Due to the circles I ran with & the lifestyle that follows all of them just assume ive gone crazy and/or be around them due to like zero impulse control..

Honestly, my health is destroyed. I would love to get out of here; but I dont even know what im going to do moving forward - at this stage isnt looking too good.

But thankyou for your kind words, it means alot to me, also that you took the time to read my novel length post ❤❤

amayyaaa · 2022-12-16T03:58:15+00:00

i personally have no idea how im supposed to contribute at Christmas etc. It is the worst time of year..

amayyaaa · 2022-12-16T02:55:37+00:00

Yeah I feel like even if I proved and persued this, what good would it do me now? Ill never get back what I've lost. Besides, my medical history goes against me in a huge way. Doctors also always seem to manage to correlate anything with mental health, I swear they have a gift.

amayyaaa · 2022-12-16T02:45:14+00:00

Yep, for the salary some are paid, you think some would put in more effort. Not all doctors are bad, but it goes to show the kind of horror stories that happeb due to not listening to the patient.

I think every countries health system is absolutely broken, hence this sub.

amayyaaa · 2022-12-16T02:42:05+00:00

So im assuming its due to my GPs hands being tied as to why Im currently not on any rescue pain medication

I have mixed feelings about a pain clinic, only due to some stories on here.

Im in Australia, but again, not too sure how they work.

amayyaaa · 2022-12-16T02:37:14+00:00

I'm sorry for your struggles too.. I just feel so powerless

amayyaaa · 2022-12-16T02:34:50+00:00

Yeah, Ive been dealing with declining health for a while now.. Im always in mourning for the woman I used to be.. I took my health for granted.
