I'm just not a drug kind of girl anymore.

A narcotics that work for me are fentanyl lolipops (especially for breakthrough pain) and methadone (also easier to wean off of- though I don't believe in weaning until the pain is really gone.) A dose of zoloft is easy and gets rid of the down you get with pain and being laid up. Robaxin is really good to use with the others. The key is multi-pharmocology - MIx THEM UP! (although some docs who don't really know a lot about treating pain may disagree.) Unfortunately I know long term pain issues as a patient and fortunately as a doc. I think the key is to find a mix that is right for you- a muscle relaxant (robaxin-oldie but goodie), long term pain- methadone or oxyCONTIN unsplit, short pain increases, beforec hanging positions (fentanyl), zoloft, marinol. Also anytime there are narcs there should be colace...By the way, beer does come in IV form- seriously. Better to stick ti the marinol though. You call if you want , have questions, etc. ReamerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276394445294788649.post-46916506226538173372008-11-30T23:16:00.000-05:002008-11-30T23:16:00.000-05:00Heh... two beer pill - sounds like you need some V...Heh... two beer pill - sounds like you need some <I>Vip</I>.Decrepit Telephonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702592848508905557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276394445294788649.post-19081591826255089992008-11-30T21:20:00.000-05:002008-11-30T21:20:00.000-05:00David, you're funny.

A pharmacy will not resell pills that have been in someone's possession, and I do believe flushing them down the toilet will suffice, since they aren't exactly hazmats.
