what dose is affective for you?

[Guest guest]

Hi I am a lurker here but have wondered this for a long time. What dose

does everyone here find effective for there different kind of pain.

Please tell me what causes you chronic pain the meds you take and the

dose. I have fibo-endo-scatia and anxiety. I take 6-7 norco

(10/325mg) a day and half a ativan at bed. Plus mortin for breakthrough

pain when needed. This barely covers my pain but I do get by. My liver

and kidneys are fine.Please chime in. Thanks Terri from Michigan

Hi Terri

Glad to see you posting, instead of lurking :-)

As for your question -- there's no definitive answer for it. We all

have a variety of pain issues. As well, no two bodies react exactly the

same to medication. What may seem like a low dose of something to one

person, is enough to put the next person to sleep fo 24 hours.

Terri,

That is a lot of Tylenol to be taking along with the Motrin. You might

talk to your doctor about a timed dose. When I started taking maximum

amounts of daily pain meds, I was switched to a timed morphine around

the clock so I did not have to depend on the every 6 hours stuff.

I am tittered up to 120 mg of Avinza twice a day and 5mg of immediate

release of Oxycontin. The Avinza does not last 24 hours so that is why

I take it twice.

Intractable pain needs intervention and in flares I have had to use

Actiq and other interventions. I no longer am on anti-depressants,

neuro meds, or muscle relaxants.

I do go to the physical therapy, do home exercise programs, and know I

will have to change that again sometime.
