Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Moderator's note: Kris, I would find a new doctor. Kaylene I don't know if this is allowed, but I am a desperate person and I need help. Any advice you can give me would be great. I was recently dropped from 90mg morphine sulf. twice a day to 40mg oxycontin 3 times a day. I had to take 2-3 of these at a time early on just to keep the pain at a tolerable level. I figured once I got too low, I could just take one twice a day to last until I got my refill and then until I saw the Dr. to discuss my meds. I have been trying my best to stick to two pills a day, but I have to take them earlier and earlier, about 9-10 hrs apart, to keep down the worst detox symptoms. I am going through hell right now. I have been too afraid to call the Dr., because he has capitalized the fact that I am an addict and that they want to get me off the meds altogether (which is a joke since my condition is chronic and degenerative and is not going to get better on it's own.) I know if I tell them I had to take more than prescribed they will not have any sympathy for me at all and they have always refused to give any leeway in the past. Do you know if there is anything else I can do to combat these symptoms? If you have never taken narcotics for pain, I recommend staying away from them as long as possible. ~*Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
