    Hi, I'm pretty new to this site so I don't really know which questions are appropriate to ask. But I figure if my question is no good I have being new as an excuse[​IMG]

    I've had chronic daily headaches since May of 07 and have gone through various forms of guesswork with my regular doctor and the neurologist. I won't bore you with all the flaccid attempts at reducing the headache pain, but they've been very hard on my overall well-being.

    The limit on my access to opiate painkillers is (30) 5-325mg generic percocets a month. They don't get to the pain well enough and I hate the tylenol that's in them. My dr. physically winced when I asked for stronger rx's.

    Do I need to look for more laidback dr.'s, or would that be a waste of time and I should try to get something the old-fashioned way, viz. through private sources on the internet? I'm not asking for a direct hook, I just want to know whether the odds are against me in that pursuit.

    Since the cause of my headaches is still unknown, I don't know if the average doctor is going to be very quick to give me a pk regimen; oxycontin or morphine or equivalents, but those are what I'm looking for. [​IMG]

    I'm suprised you're getting percs. Headaches usually are not treated by opiod therapy presently.

    thats why he only gets 30 5mg percocets a month cuz hes probably been complaining and tried an assortment of different meds b4 he actually got prescribed those and even so 30 5mg perc's a month is nothing...a normal user could kill the script in as little as 2-3days

    Sounds like you need levodromoran. The optical isomer of dextromethorphan, it is a very potent analgesic, about 3-4 times as potent as morphine.

    wow thanks everyone for posting. yeah when my friend was in jacksonville FL, he got a bunch of oxys that said ABG on the back. pretty good, but there's something unique about the real ones. It sucks that they so taboo, cause I could sure use some. I'ma try to find a hook online somehow. I guess I need to be intuitive to know whether I'm chasing a scam or not.

    yeah the dr.s don't like me taking opiates, but since their attempts at medicating the pain have been so worthless, it's a concession they make. I personally don't want to keep going through expensive guesswork and I'd be content just masking the pain with opiates. It took me a while to get so cynical

    just be careful, using stronger opiates (OCs, roxis) to treat pain, especially regularly, is like playing with fire. mainly due to the terribly addictive nature of the drugs. you may want to invest in a non opiod pain medication. there are some rather powerful alternatives out there without the threat of a life ruining addiction

    He's right man. I got put on 10/325 percs, then oxys, now a mixture of percs and oxys for severe joint pain, and now I'm so addicted that my doctors are considering rehab programs for me.

    Opiates are the best and worst thing in the world. Handle with care.

    I'm jealous of people who are addicted to opiates. j/k. I've had them many times before. I was content with small amounts, but even had larger amounts, rationing them and making them last longer. And some times I binged on the larger amounts, I felt like I wanted to quit the drug forever, then I don't feel like it again for another 3 months. Now is a time when I haven't had them since last april so the recreational value is callin my name, plus I have inexplicably acute headaches that I feel warrant some access to decent pk's like oxy.

    I realize people have damaged a good portion of their lives due to an opiate addiction. I've never been inclined to use any drug too heavily or too frequently. I smoked cigarettes for a while, got sick of 'em. did coke for a couple months, swore it off for life and have never any manner of craving for them since.

    I love herb; it's a staple, it's just part of life. Something like oxys would be a luxury to me, to be fully relished and remembered but not to spoil myself with. I've asked my wife that if I get a supply, I want her to hide it and dispense to me only what is needed for a week or whatever, because I know what an opiate is. I know that the brain gets higher and higher with larger amounts of an opiate. But with cannabis, large amounts would actually make you less high due to tolerance.

    My dr. tried several nonopioid medicines, but they all had oppressive side effects and were ultimately ineffective. Some homeopathics and opiate pk's are the only things so far that give me any real relief. I appreciate your concern, and you all seem to give rec drug users a good name by taking the drug seriously.

    It's a serious drug...I cannot think of another drug that combines potent pain relief with potent euphoria. ;)

    so my neurologist was cool today and gave me a tylenol-free oxycodone, 5mg generic(mfg Amide). i'm supposed to take 2 at a time. I don't think they are time-release or have any advantage by crushing them, but it's good to have something more pure. He said that if it's not strong enough, we can increase dosage. I wonder if I need to ask for the name brand in order to get it, or maybe that'd be weird.

    From what i've read you should go back to him and not mention the medication at all. Just say that it doesn't quite get rid of the pain...something to that extent.

    My friend takes... I think she said it was Plomax or Flomax for migraine headaches. She says they work well.

    cool thanks. It took him seven months to give me an opiate, so I don't want to make him question it. It was funny cuz on the way their I was complaining to my wife that I feel discriminated against because of my young age. i guess dr.s see me as more likely to get addicted if I'm young. Even when I was checking in, I saw a Rx for 'oxycontin', so I knew he wrote them.
    These pills are pretty good, but they do only slightly better than the percocet in dampening the pain.[​IMG]

    Yeah, isn't Flomax an inhaled steroid? for Athsma/brochial problems? if your friend is on this for migranes, then she needs a new doc.
