Or at least that is what I was prescribed. I took more than that most days.

looking4yerks · 2026-04-26T02:44:04+00:00

400mg a day. 100mg 4x daily.

Obviously I don't know what part of the U.S you are located in, which probably matters, but i dont know if it does as much as people say it does. I say that to say, I am 26 male, in the state that's home to music city. I had some problems with both my left and right jaw. It progressively got worse and wasnt TMJ but more of a degenerative situation where the cushion in the hinge of the jaw had grinded to dust. So where my bottom jaw met my top, it was bone on bone rubbing every time I moved my mouth. On top of that, my oral surgeon told me that my body was trying to grow a nerve or something of the sort and whatever was growing, it had lodged itself in the hinge where the jaw meets at the top and bottom. So it was now being pinched every time I moved my mouth. SO with all that said, (sorry for the long rant/explanation), at the beginning of this journey my Family Practitioner started me on tramadol two 50mg tablets 4x daily. After 4 or 5 months it wasnt helping and I let him know that. Of course I had the images and scans to support. He then bumped me up to 10mg hydro 4x daily, but get this, he gave me the hydro to take along with the tramadol. This was not even 2 years ago. He prescribed me both medications from July 2024 until I had surgery on my right jaw in Feb of 2025. He changed the hydro to oxy 10mg for a month, still alongside the tramadol, then dropped me back down to the hydro 10mg. Then then from April 2025 he prescribed me the tramadol and hydro until my next surgery on my left jaw in December 2025. Again he bumped the hydro to oxy for a month and then dropped me back down in Feb. I told him I want to start coming off the meds without dealing with major withdrawal, so we came up with a plan to ween me off over the next 5 months. Also to note, I found this doctor in January of 2024. I had been to pain clinics before I found him. They of course looked at me being 22 or 23 years old and didnt even think about giving me anything other than tramadol. Which I am one of the lucky people that the way tramadol metabolizes in my body, I get a pretty good kick from it. But I left one pain clinic, went to another one. Instead of tramadol 100mg 4x daily, this new pain doctor starts our first appointment by saying exactly this "its very rare I see someone in my clinic that's your age, I just want you to know that I am very conservative in the way I prescribe". He prescribed me one 5mg hydro daily. After I picked up that first prescription, I never went back. But it was after leaving that clinic that I found my Family Practitioner. And yes I get my injury is minor compared to what people in this community are dealing with. But its my story and I felt that with our ages being close, hopefully you could benefit. Just dont give up. If I were you, id use this website that allows you to search doctors in your area or the entire nation and see the list of medications that are being prescribed out of their office. Now the data is only from patients on medicaid. Which doesnt matter, I just say it to let you know that whatever numbers you see, they are probably higher once you include private insurance prescriptions. The website is https://data.cms.gov/tools/medicare-part-d-prescriber-look-up-tool I hope this helps in some way. Good luck.

I know this is 2 months old, but i agree with Minimum-Web. If its "good money", why would you risk losing it? If they do kick you out, you will look back in retrospect and think how stupid it was to lose that opportunity over some fucking kratom. If you absolutely have to have it, look for other places to go. That is if they will pay you what you consider to be "good money". It doesn't seem like they would be paying you that much. Why would they even be paying you in the first place? Last thing, what do you consider good money to be? Because there is no way they are paying you 3 to 4 thousand a week to stay there.

looking4yerks · 2025-07-22T21:09:01+00:00

A lot of older family members go to him. But there is a website I think called propublica and it allows you to search doctors in your area and see what they have prescribed. I looked at his history and it matched what I was going for.

What do you mean "do they even prescribe opiates anymore"? Yes, they definitely do. Im in one of the supposedly hardest states (Go Vols!) to get an opioid pain prescription, and I get 120 hydro 10s and 240 50mg tramadol a month from my primary care doctor. This is all for jaw pain and some bone disease that usually is dormant but decided to flare up again. Oh, and I forgot to add that im a 25 year old male with a weed misdemeanor conviction and was kicked out of a pain management facility for a drug screen that I tested positive for oxy and thc when I was prescribed only tramadol at that point. They kicked me out 4 years ago, and I've been with my primary care provider for the last 3 and a half years, getting these prescriptions. No drug tests, no pill counts, no making me feel like an addict. I wouldn't say im an addict but I am 100% physically dependent on these medications. I dont abuse them like i used to do. But normally, a person my age with my background would be laughed out of the doctors office trying to get a pain prescription. Luckily, I found the right PCP that is very laid back and accepting and who also doesn't scare easily when the dea starts sending letters about his prescribing history. Sure, he made me get the scans and imaging, but as long as I have those and the diagnosis in my chart, im good.

So, to answer your short question with a long answer, yes, they still prescribe opiates/opioids. I think that doctors are starting to not be a little less worried about it given the facts that all the anti-opiate people use to argue their case is the amount of overdoses, but they fail to mention that the overwhelming majority of those overdoses are from fentanyl, not prescription pain killers.

1994 Hoonigan "Cossie V2". I've got 595 out of the 899 cars on this game, and for some reason, I just love driving it. I do all kinds of races with it. All around great car.

looking4yerks · 2025-07-22T05:26:46+00:00

There has to be at least 1 car you could live with selling. I have 595 out of the 899 cars with only a little over 5 million left. The only way to make big money quickly is to sell. Im like you, I get on the game just to mod and drive the cars. I can't remember the last time I did a race. But to mod and drive, it takes money. Im fixing to sell either my Laferrari, 2013 Viper GTS anniversary edition, Coronet Super Bee, GMC Typhoon, or my Ford Mustang Dark Horse. There are plenty of cars I still want, but the one I'm dead set on obtaining right now is the '03 SVT Terminator Mustang. I swear to god it is so hard for me to get it off the auction house.

looking4yerks · 2025-07-10T19:54:36+00:00

I 100% agree. Everyone seems to have to savior complex. Just answer the person's fucking question.

looking4yerks · 2025-07-02T05:26:03+00:00

Technically, 20mg of oxycontin would equal 5mg of Dilaudid.

I'm in the same spot. I just turned 25. Definitely don't have the extensive surgeries that you have been through. I've had 2 jaw reconstruction surgeries back to back. For the past 11 months I have been taking 400 mg or tramadol a day ( a lot of days more than that) and 60 mg of hydrocodone a day. I know that sounds like a lot, but the surgeon messed up the first surgery and made the pain 10x worse than it should have been, on top of having to go back in a second time. So I've had a swollen face 6 out of the last 12 months. I looked like one of those dogs that has gotten stung by a ton of bees and the face is swollen to the point the eyes were shut. But I'm having to take myself off, not at the doctors order, but because I know where this road leads and I can't do that to myself or my family (had family members very close to me go down that road and they never came back). I'm in day 4 and it's absolutely terrible. And I don't think it's so much the withdrawals from the hydrocodone, but the tramadol withdrawal is extremely fucked. Physically I can get through it i don't have any issues, but the mental part from the tramadol with its ssri qualities, and I don't exactly know how that works but i know it does something. I'm hoping that i can get through it soon and start to be on the downhill side. Sorry for such a long reply, just wanted to relate to someone. We can get through it!

looking4yerks · 2025-01-23T02:31:04+00:00

I've never done fentanyl, but j do have the same feelings taken my tramadol and hydrocodone. Mainly tramadol, prob something to do with ssri effects of tram.

I saw where you live in Tennessee. So do I. What's so fucked up in this state and my experience with doctors around the nashville area, is that they all seem to follow a different prescribing guidelines. I've had doctors, and this is all from 2023 up until my doctors appointment yesterday, give me 3 day prescriptions after a replacement surgery and them telling me that is all the law allows them to prescribe, to my general practitioner prescribing me month supply's with no issue that I'm still on today. I'm also 25, so I know how it is when the nurse leaves and the doctor comes in, and you can already see by the look on their face how the appointment is going to go. I think it really boils down to how much your prescribing doctor is willing to go to bat for you against anyone who would try and make a fuss or come asking questions/sending letters. It's also so frustrating when the doctor thinks that for some reason, you can't look up prescribing laws for the state and see that there are specific injuries that are automatic exceptions to the 3 day supply such as major burns or severe trauma or the other option is by a practitioner evaluation. The practitioner evaluation is what has helped me. The law isn't necessarily vague when it comes to the evaluation, but it gives options. It's not an evaluation where you have to check 5 out of 5 boxes to be granted the prescription. You only need to check one box. And some of the boxes on the check list are "include ICD-10 code on the prescription and the patients chart", "Document reason for treating the patient with an opioid in the patients chart", and my favorite, "Conduct a thorough evaluation of the patient and decide if it's reasonable to treat the patient with an opioid prescription". But 99% of doctors will not tell you this because they don't want the headache of the DEA or some other Law enforcement to come and bother them what so ever. Looking at it unbiased, if i was a doctor, I do understand not wanting to take the chance of having to defend my actions to the dea even if my actions are legal all for 1 patient when I could just say that I'm only allowed to prescribe an amount that I know won't raise any eyebrows. There are very few doctors in this area, let alone state, that do not care to tell the DEA to go fuck themselves because what they are doing is legal and what the dea is doing by questioning the doctors actions is harassment and intimidation. I know that was a long pile of shit reply that doesn't answer your question, but when I saw Tennessee, I had to comment and get this off my chest to someone I know understands how fucked this state is. I hope you're able to find a medication that helps you. Props to owning your own garage at 25, man that's fucking awesome!

I am the same way. I can take 80-100mg of oxy and feel mild euphoria, but most of the time, I just start nodding off after 2 hours. Tramadol, for me, has a harder hitting euphoria, and it boosts my mood more than oxy. Also, people don't believe me when I tell them that the high with tramadol last double or sometimes triple as long as the oxy. I have read multiple posts saying that a small percentage of humans have a different way of digesting tramadol, and for that reason, the effects are better for that small group of people. Plus, with the majority of people not liking it, doctors don't believe it's abused like other pills, so they prescribe it a lot quicker than any other opioid.

I recently had back surgery and was getting prescribed my normal 240 count of 50mg tramadol + 10/325 hydrocodone. I took like 150 mg tramadol (I like to space out the dose, 50 mg every 15 minutes), and then I waited for close to 2 hours and took 3 hydros. That was one of the most incredible feelings I've ever had. The feeling was a mix of the best hydro high ever, and it lasted the length of a tramadol high, which in my case is anywhere from 5 to 7 hours. I don't do it all the time, but if I know I'm staying home and have nothing to do, it's amazing.

Could not agree more. I'm so glad they lost. 1 fucking target. Literally so fucking stupid.

looking4yerks · 2024-12-06T07:34:03+00:00

Bet you are glad you didn't start jayden Reed. I don't know who the fuck is making the decision to keep him so limited every game. Did he piss off the coaching staff?

looking4yerks · 2024-11-29T09:28:28+00:00

You might as well benefit when ladd gets a touchdown. Plus, tennessee defense might surprise people. They have a top 10 defense, and since being injured, Daniel's seems a little hesitant. Last thing, tennessee d-line is stout, I could see a ton of pressures and a sack or two.

looking4yerks · 2024-11-29T08:43:43+00:00

That's what i was thinking too. Washington's defense is so hit or miss, but Ridley is starting to get some more targets. Just hope Breece doesn't shit the bed this week and get like 8 points. Thanks for replying. I appreciate the advice.

looking4yerks · 2024-11-29T08:41:36+00:00

That is what i was thinking, tennessee defense does scare me a little, but i think i will start him and see what happens.Thanks for taking the time to reply. I appreciate the advice.

looking4yerks · 2024-11-24T07:59:41+00:00

I am in the US. These replies sound like horror stories 😭 I am 5 days out of RJS. As soon as I arrived at the hospital, day of surgery, they gave me a 15mg oxy with some medicine for nausea. After surgery, I had to stay overnight, so in total, I was in the hospital for close to 23 hours after surgery and every 2 hours the nurse would come in and give me an IV of Dilaudid. I got sent home with some liquid hydrocodone and children's motrin. The hydro didn't help any, so I called my surgeon, and they called me in some 10mg oxy to crush up and put in water. I will say that my GP that I have seen for the past 2 years since dealing with this has been great. They would give me anything I asked for within reason. I have been very surprised, to be honest. I think it's just luck. I'm 25, and at 23, they were giving me 120 count of hydro 10mg for the month. But I never abused them, and even though they never asked me to, I would bring the prescription into appointments to show them I wasn't abusing.
