Re: A PRISON OF PILLS-- to

2-3 times a day on the hydrocodone.  Some days only 2.  It is just that I have

so many other things I take.  blood pressure, anxiety (xanax usually 1-2 a

day).  Then the Zoloft, the muscle relaxers (only at night because they make me

sleepy).  Now the Lyrica.   Of course Over the counter zantac for acid reflux. 

Some aspirin or naproxen once or twice a day. The multivitamin, the B12, the

Calcium, the Vitamin D supplement, Vitamin C.

I was so much like that. Always trying to remember which pills I

needed to take now. I finally said enough was enough and decided to

come off all but what was absolutely necessary. I now only take

insulin and Relafen.

All the medication combined actually made me suicidal. I went

inpatient in the hospital because I was on large doses of fentanyl

and morphine and that was the only way to come off. I live with so

much pain every day but I have my life back! I have learned to use

other ways of dealing with the pain, stretching, warm baths,

meditation, anything but the meds again. I know a lot of people

cannot deal with the pain but I like knowing what I am doing and not

being spaced out anymore. Have you tried alternatives to medications?
