When you are in really severe pain, you don't GAF what it takes to feel better. Good luck with that stuff. It will f'k up your life and everyone's around you if you're not careful.

I been puckered since I read this like 20 minutes ago. Gonna need a whole handful of them things to get over the thought...

Chit....4 pm's.....lol

Pharmacist here -
Start with 1/2 tablet
Stretch the interval
The pain will not go away, just the edge taken off.
Consume fiber.
Taper off ASAP.

Explain please

the times I've had to take opiates, I've never had a problem with them.

I'm looking for Poppy seeds.....don't want to blow a bum in a alley. lol

Back injury in 2008 in Fallujah working with KBR and DOD. Put me on a civilian flight home with Vicodin. Cage put in back and subscribed 7.5/325 hydrocodone. Several months in did drug test and didn't have any in my system. Read me the riot act and gave me information about overdosing. They figured I would eventually over dose. Been on it ever since and only take it when I'm really hurting. Three times I " failed" the test, none in my system. Only effect I can see is mild constipation.

More drugs should be made like it. Made by Johnson and Johnson who make Tylenol. The body processes it very well and it leaves the body. No residual per se. Easy on kidneys not a big concern for hospice patients but is a benefit. Can be dripped on tongue or given in IV. Its a common used drug for hospice and pain.

I read somewhere that Morphine is still the best thing for severe pain.

Take it as directed and if the pain is not that severe stop.

I don't understand folks that think that taking meds for a short time turn one into a junkie.

I have been taking ultram for almost 20 years and have not had a high from it.

Have not been constipated or had any other problems.

I do stop taking it from time to time just to see if i am taking it for the pain or just because i have had them for a long time.

Pain wins after 3 or 4 days.

I still function but i am much slower in my walking and don't do much in a day.

I understand if they make you ill or give you fits but there are folks that have used them for years and are still alive and able to take a [bleep].

Avoid all opiates.

I don’t drink at all or use weed, but I would do both of those before using opiates.

Many normal, productive people have had their lives destroyed by opiates. I know booze and other drugs are bad, but opiates can do much greater damage.

Great pain killers for 2 to 3 days then stop. Addictive as candy. Very bad for long term use. Great in medical kit for pain. Wish I had a bottle of them.

Let's be honest, Alcohol has ruined more families than everything put together.

It's an excellent painkiller, but even if I had a prescription I would avoid it if possible as it makes me itch furiously. Taking a big big dose of benedryl along with the oxycodone or hydrocodone helps some but nowhere near enough, making me weigh whether or not the pain is worse than the itch that's certain.

It's a yay.

Hydrocodone is my pain drug of choice. Works well on pain. Only use it for major things like knee replacement. Like others, after the first couple of days, switch to Tylenol and take the hard stuff every third or fourth night. Can't do oxycontin. Had one pill once right after knee replacement and it made me sick as a dog. The doctor's choice of pain killer last year for a knee retread was dilaudid. Have all of them and the Tramadol in the med cabinet now. With my first knee replacement I took the hydrocodone for about a week. Decided to stop on Thursday night. Felt weird all day on Friday and told my wife when I got home. She said yeah, that was withdrawal. She had been an addictions nurse.

I took those for years, because of Osteoarthritis. When I got the hip replaced, I no longer needed them and just stopped using them. For me, they were a good choice, did their job, and I had no ill effects.

Was prescribed 5/325 when I had my knees replaced. Took the edge off. Stopped taking it when no longer needed. Don't care if I ever take it again. Didn't feel the least bit addicted, and I took it for several months.

Every body is different. people process drugs differently. It doesn’t sound like you are going to be on them long so don’t fret it. Follow your Dr’s script not the internet.

Anyone that is on long term pain medicine and not getting good relief. Ask your Dr to do the DNA test to see which drugs will work best for you. Worth the time.
