Avatar f tn Hi lilkim~ I have had the botox injections for pain control and they did not seem to make any positive results. I think the steriod injections helped me more so than the botox. Of course the steriod injections are only for inflammation and are temporary. I have everything done and been given just about everything to help control my neck and back pain.
Avatar f tn Depending on this evaluation, the neurologist may prescribe oral pain killers (which are of several types including opioids, non steroidal anti-inflammatory pain killers—like the ones you have been taking, COX-2 inhibitors etc.) or round the clock use of patches with drugs for pain relief etc. There are many alternative or non-pharmacological pain management therapies which can be tried.
Avatar f tn I found an intersting site that might be of use to anyone needing help with the drug cost - it appears to be a clearinghouse of information. there is a list of drugs available for help and contact information - check it out at: http://www.needymeds.org/resourcepages/ms.shtml the low dose naltrexone that Alex mentioned is also a possible option instead of a dmd. You can find lots more information on its use with MS through a search on google.
Avatar n tn the toxins etc from narcotics can make fibromyalgia even worse...Nuerontin and lyrica are the drugs of choice for this condition with nuerontin being the safer of the 2 and less side effects as well...if u r not on one of these drugs then it is definitely worth a try and the nuerontin helps me alot..i tried lyrica and also cymbalta but did not do well with either drug..i work full time and lyrica caused me to be droggy..
Avatar f tn They collect all turned in medications and they BURN them instead of drugs ending up in the water tables . Check and see if your locale police have such a site or I'm sure they can direct you to the nearest station .. Good luck ..
Avatar m tn s a long list of medications that treat different types of pain. Some types of pain are treated with things like Cymbalta, which some get good relief from. Then there's drugs like Neurontin and Lyrica, which are often used for fibro pain and nerve pain. Neurontin was originally an anti-seizure drug. There's a long list of narcotics ranging from Tylenol w/codeine to Vicodin, Percocet, oxyodone, morphine, Dilaudid, Fentanyl patches and methadone and more.
Avatar f tn I have bad arthritis, RSD, nerve pain, fibro ...the list goes on. I was at very high doses of a many drugs, including narcotics, and it didn't really help my pain. I've had better pain control after coming off the narcotics, though some of the flare-ups are bad. I found swimming helped my pain quite a bit.
Avatar f tn With my other pregnancies I craved alcohol (normally hate it) but with this time I have been craving marijuana and narcotics. I'm not sure why because I haven't drugs for 15 years and I never liked them. My doctor offered to give me Percocet for leg pain. I didnt tell him why but I refused because of the feelings I've been having. Has this happened to anyone else?
Avatar f tn This review will focus on liver disease and how it is affected by disordered iron homeostasis, as observed in hereditary hemochromatosis and due to HFE mutations. The types of liver disease covered herein are chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, alcoholic liver disease (ALD), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), end-stage liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT).
Avatar f tn The DEA has an idea that they want the American public to evaluate: what if controlled substances were allowed to be prescribed electronically? In other words - make it legal for doctors to prescribe narcotics and other drugs online. Currently, this idea is going through a "public comment period" before any laws are put into place. Naturally as an addict in recovery, I have strong opinions about this topic - How does everyone else feel about it and why?
Avatar m tn HI in most states you do need a special license to write methadone but a lot of doctors just dont mess with it because it is so contravsal it will be ez to get off the fentnal and most doctors will then move you to hydro from ther making the withdrawal ezer ........methadone is the hardest of the narcotics to come off off due to the long withdrawal period what your doctor is doing will help eaz the pain keep posting for support and let us know how this turns out for you good luck and God bless..
Avatar m tn My doctor prescribed clondine and amitriptyline to help. At first he was thinking of tramadol to which I told him "no way" as apparently he was not aware of how horrible those wd's truly are an the addictive nature of that animal.. The two thing I've quoted about are to help ease the wd stress on the body (clonidine lowers one's BP, the amitriptyline has mild antidepressant qualities along with some pain relieving properties).
Avatar f tn Many types of meds are tried before delving into the world of narcotics. There are low doses of pain meds, antidepressants (not because you are depressed but you may be) but because many antidepressant medications are used to lessen pain and not just in FMS but other illnesses as well.(yes, narcotics CAN be addictive but for the most part if narcotics are given to someone in severe pain (after other meds are usually tried) people can become dependant on them rather than addictive.
1310035 tn?1305621642 It was actually through this community that i was able to get through to him about the types of drugs that are RX for neuopathic pain. He was dead set against using pain drugs because of his addiction and was very uncomfortable about psychotropic drugs because of his Asperger's. He was willing to try 'endep' which is an SSRI that his neice who also has Asperger's is on and one of the more common drugs RX for phantom leg syndrome.
Avatar n tn i'm a 19 year old girl,i have been using drugs since i was 14 almost every weekend, from exstacy to snorting narcotics and everything inbetween. At first it was just a laugh, i'm not a confident person but when i'm on drugs i'm the life and soul, my problems disappear and i'm happy. The past few months i have been worried about the damage i am doing to my body and a few weeks ago my worries came true.
Avatar m tn The best thing to do is see a psychiatrist as he is most knowledgeable when it comes to these types of medications and what would be best for you. Think about therapy as well, this can be a big help with social anxiety. Take care...
3206434 tn?1345997445 Does this make me an addict, the fact that I cant even comprehend the idea of living life without these narcotics? I personally do not think this makes me an addict, I think drugs are prescribed for a reason although I do regret ever taking benzodiazepines on a daily bases (but too late, the damage has been done, and I have excepted that, and I probably would not enjoy living with the anxiety I had prior to my benzos so i am not really complaining).
699217 tn?1323438700 I wanted to know what the difference is between hydrocodone and like-oxycontin or oxycodone, Percocet, tramadol, is this all just types of hydrocodone? All I ever took was hydrocodone....
Avatar f tn Anyway- floored and horrified to say the least- now what do I do, he never listens to me- so what do I say to shake him into some sort of reality- well, said my piece- that was 2months ago- nothing changed, no sex no talking- watching him fad farther away- Well- It all came to a terrible relief last night- busted ----- in possesion of 3 baggies of H - buying more and they found 12 diff kinds of narcotics in the car...
Avatar f tn Jerri... after a couple weeks, if you choose to do that, sometimes a number of us have found that our chronic pain wasn't as bad as we thought. after we stopped the narcotics. the drugs can make us feel... worse, in a way. pain-wise. i don't know your situation, i just know i was told that. and after a couple weeks, i realized that was true for me. i also know the narcotics f*** with your head. i've never felt suicidal except for when i was in throws of my norco addiction.
Avatar f tn so I thought/trusted. I have been on all types of pills for almost 15 years. Oxy was the miracle drug some seven years ago. Doctors said it was made exactly for people like me. I am now taking 80mg 3 to 4 times a day and have been for years but have never felt that "high" sensation from this drug but it took most the pain away.
