[SMAFriends] Chronic Pain Meds Help!

May 31, 2010

Everyone,

I'm trying to get off the Hydrocodone. I'm down to 1 or 2 a day. I used to

take 4-6 a day.

Now I'm back on Neurontin, 300mg, 3xday. Anyone else on or have tried

Neurontin? Is my dose too low or too high? I don't think its working.

Maybe its too soon to tell. How long does it take to kick in?

Has anyone been on or is on Lyrica?

Are there other meds for chronic pain that are not narcotics?

I was put on Adderral recently to help me with my chronic fatigue. Its

actually decreasing my pain and my doc doesn't even know why. I still feel

the pain, but strangely, I can tolerate it and that's why I am able to go

down on my Hydrocodone. Has anyone experienced something like this?

Please share your experiences/knowledge on this issue with me.

I need to go to a pain management clinic or doctor. I'm near Chicago. Does

anyone know of any clinics for pain management in my area?

I'd appreciate any info you could share with me. Email me privately

(meg.w@...) if you don't want to talk about it in public.

God Bless,

Meg W.
