RE: Pain Medication/~~Back to Tigger~~

[Guest guest]

The vicoden DOES have added aceta...whatever!! I don't know why some doctors

just arbitrarily make up their minds about one certain treatment. I take the

plain oxycodone, no added anything else. I CAN take all of the OC pain meds

except , oh I can't remember the name right now, the newest one. AHA!! Aleve is

the one I can't take! I am obviously allergic to it. I take the oxys without any

other stuff so's I can take as many as I might need without worrying about ODing

on aspirin or tylenol. If I feel the need, I can take 2 aspirin or tylenol, or

even sometimes 2 Excedrin, which work best, but cost the most. I also

occasionally take a prescription motrin along with the oxy. They work well too,

but as you said, all of these things are worse on our systems than the plain

narcotics.

I think you should have another go at changing your doctor's mind. It really

can't hurt, especially if you point out the danger of the tylenol on your body.

Each and every day, reading the stories of the members here, I say a little

prayer of thanks for my own doctor. I wish I could clone him and send him to

everyone who would want him. Even people who can't take opiates...he would work

to find something non-narcotic that might help. He is so patient and

understanding. He really understands this affliction, and he really cares about

his patients.

Peace and Love
