Guest guest Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 MY body seems to adjust to new pain meds very rapidly. I was recently moved up from vicodin which I was on for 7 years. My last dosage was for 10/325 norco 6x daily. My Dr. then moved me to percocet 10/325 6x daily. they worked great for 6-8 weeks now it seems I could literally double that dose to stay merely comfortable. I know I can't tell him this new medication don't help as well as it did just weeks ago when I bragged how much better I felt. I am 38 and worked construction for 23 yrs. and have been diagnosed with R/A and osteoarthritis, however I feel like a junkie with the amount of meds I take. I know this is a big daily dosage for almost anyone yet the look you get when you say these don't help any longer is that of a dope head. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to approach this matter? And is it safe to assume that no matter what meds or dosage I'm prescribed I will just keep developing a tolerance until I have to stay in a zombie state of mind to cope with this problem?
