What is your ideal pain medication?

Norco 10/325 worked very well for me spaced out with otc meds... however, I would love to just have a permanent dilaudid drip attached so I could float on a puffy pink cloud of happiness for the remainder of my days...

try soma it works well, it blocks pain signals travelling to your brain

I do not build up tolerance easily for opiates, so codeine 60mg (no apap) has helped with fibromyalgia that I have....unfortunately my mother is the opposite, as she has fibromyalgia as well and is on morphine sulfate IR 30mg and hydrocodone/apap to supplement as well....

However Watson brand anything imo is as goog os parent co was the same, even thiugh drug may bot have been, e.g. percocet, norco

One of my favorites so far.
I'm picturing one of my pharmacists writing this.

I think different pain meds work different for everyone.Soma does not work,tramadol constricts my brochol tubes making it hard to breathe,7.5/200 works the best no side effects no withdraws when I'm having a good day best out there for me anyways.

10/325 Watson Vicodin - no question.

I want what you were taking when you typed this

me too, only i want 2 of them @royce , I've posted when medicated, i look back at them and think holy crap did I do that

[royce]

@betsky Boy can/could I ever get in trouble with those time released pain meds.....

Have an agreement with my pm doc in regards to them.... He does not care what I want, ever!!!! Still dream about them!

[bernie131]

Yeah, My dr prescribed Opana ER for me and I didn't think it was doing much until I ran out and realized the pain was WAY worst without it. The real relief for the breakthru pain only comes with Soma and hydro taken together and I can get stuff done. Now to find me something for breakthru pain...

I wish I had figured out how to start an new thread, cuz every time I see this one I. start dreaming about favorite drugs, all different kinds, not just pain meds.

I still enjoy reading this!

@royce
I want your doctor too now

I liked the old formula Oxycontin Purdue 40 mg yellow & 80 mg green pills. The other medication for less severe pain that works well is Norco 10/325.

Just me .02 cents

[royce]

@Gladheart ....you are after my heart. I do not agree that brand Norco works as well though, but I sure do like them, and Watson generics too! ahhh!

[evanedge]

those yellow 10/325 pers are pretty good.... Alot of watson brand you are actually only having about 75% of the active ingredient taking affeect. Its a warning label on those bulk bottles.

Sorry...got kicked out of typing in high school, and yes it was called typing not texting. I am not even remotely close. In work, high shool employees frequentlly do data entry for me (boss orders this) for accuracy and input error controls are kept to minimum this way. I wiosh I had tussionex (old OLD formula before antihistamine was changed. It was great (BID dosed).... Older family member preferred this to top shelf liquor (used to reasonably easy for some to get from doc). I loved it, but much different now. Dad said it would really zonk him out after it was changed.....

sorry, probably wrong thread, but formulation has changed.

Maybe it's just me but isn't that kind of a serious problem for someone who is a "pharmacist" and working with these dreamy prescription drugs all day long?
Especially those time release pain meds.

[bernie131]

I am not so happy with time released meds cuz when I need to do something, I want to be able to go and do it. They are good if you also have break thru meds but unfortuately you get a tolerence then you always feel like you are trying to catch up just to reach a point where it is possible to go do something.

[royce]

need to reread cuz I want to have sweet dreams!

[bernie131]

I thought cutting back on Tylenol would be best but I find Norco, which is less tylenol does not help as well as hydrocodone with at least 500mg tylenol and ER meds once you have them it is hard to do without!
