Re: long acting mild pain rleavers to Kimber

[Guest guest]

Kimber,

My pharmacist is a very conservative person. I love her to death!! It is a

personal/professional opinion that 120 of vicodin a month is too excessive. Not

the tylenol. She considers the narcotic too much unless you have cancer or

such..

I am on my second norco 10 of the day and I feel so sick. Can't think, feel

nauseous (sp), cna't focus on much of anything. I HATE pain pills. But I hate

the pain even more. I wish I could just live on my C2 and be done with it. Low

sugar and cold caffine. MAkes taking the pills better. And yes I know about

caffine being bad for CP and SOD but have never been affected by that so I am

lucky. ALl I want to to do anymore is drink my C2 and leave the food alone. But

then I have to take a pill or two and I feel sick and need to eat something to

make it all better.

Guess I sholdn't complain. Things could be worse.

Sandy,

I think you need to ask why your pharmacist thinks 120 vicodin a day is

excessive. She could be thinking that the amount of tylenol in the

vicodin is too hard on the liver, not that the amount of narcotic is

excessive and that's why you got two different answers.

Lots of pharmacists say we shouldn't take the dosages we take if we don't

have cancer. That's a lot of dootie. Let them have some pain. People who say

these things, medical professionals, do not have the training or experience

to say them. Just because you have a pharmacy degree does not mean you can

PRESCRIBE. Only doctors do that. Only docs have experience with chronic pain

patients and can make that determination. Pharmacists do not do residencies

working with patients. All they know comes from a book or a prof or a drug

company. And the drug companies spend millions on pharmacists in training.

Bottom Line: A pharmacist is not qualified to prescribe.
