help with pain meds needed.

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

A you know I am going to my new rheumy on tuesday. I need to fkind some pain

meds that actually work for me. I am currently on Lortab and Ultram but both

do pretty much nothing for me. I was put on Darvocet for my plurisy but all it

did was make me tired.

Does anyone have any meds they can recommend? I need something that will

ease the pain but not make me " loopy " as I have the kids to care for.

Any and all advice is welcome.

hugs to all

I was on Davocet, it was like being in one continuous brain fart....Not

fun at all and it wasn't helping much. I told my rheumy I needed a pain

killer that could let me have a clearer head and he put me on Vicodin.

Believe it or not, the Vicodine does let me have a clearer head and it

was helping with the pain for a while but now it seems to only take the

edge off the pain. But that seems to happen to me with all pain meds.

That and I guess my body has gotten worst... I do get a bit tired with

the Vicodine but not as bad as with the Darvocet.

This is what happened with me, it could be different for you.

Everybody's body chemistry is different and it can be very frustrating

to find the drugs that work best for you. I think we all can attest to

that. You could ask your rheumy what he/she thinks.

Hi:

and it seems to be the opposite for me..........I am

on Darvocet and hate the way Vicodin makes me

feel......and Darvocet only takes the edge off the

pain but that is better than nothing ........guess

cause I have been on it for years..but i don't feel

like it is a heavy duty narcotic and my rheumy gives

me enuf every month with no questions.......

Yes, different drugs work differently on

everyone........

Dear , Please read my post #75210. Scroll down toward the bottom

to the section on " Opiate Pain Meds " for information re " tolerance "

since that seems to be what you are describing. Might be helpful.

Love,
