Hydro for legitimate pain

ronan · #1 (**permalink**) 08-04-2002, 08:46 AM

I know the policy regarding rec drugs, however I am in genuine pain due to constant headaches. I have had the CT scans, blood tests, eyes checked, etc, etc, etc.

Pain medication is not a hot point in Australia, and there is only 1 medication I have come across over here that rids my pain. I found 10mg Oxy's from O/S were good for pain, but I still need to be able to function during the day.

I have researched as best as I can, the China 2mg Hydro's. There isn't alot of info around. If anyone has experience with them, could you please share your stories regarding their effectivness for pain relief and whether they knock you around or not.

As I say, it is for genuine pain, and they seem to be priced well.:help:

i've has cat scans, MRI's, my eye's checked, neck doc, & they have still never found anythin....i get horrible migrains just on the left side of my head....(k thats my story)
now, r u taking anythin like e/c/a or do u drink alot of coffee? belive it or not, this has caused some real bad headaches with some of my friends....

i am in the same boat as u bud....some days its fine then others its beyond horrible....i've actually just learned 2 deal with it....when it's real bad i'll take a few 500mg pain releivers (over the counter)....it takes the edge off 4 me....

now with all that out of the way, if i was u i wouldn't start gettin in 2 ilegal meds....it's not worth it....i know u've been 2 prob every doc under the sun, but go 2 a few more....u may get a script 4 somthin, which is gona b better & safer....

good luck bud

As with any opiate derived pain med you got to be careful. The problem with pain meds is you can start on a low dose, but that can quickly become ineffective. Be safe and good luck. If you do have to go on pain meds for a long time, the safest would be oxycontin (low dose and don't crush it), as it does not contain acetaminophen which has been shown to be rough on the liver.

as u can tell, i'm totally against using stuff thats not scripted....
but, isn't oxycontin very addicting?

what about docs, that r kinda "out there"? u know, i can't think of the name, ummm like alternative medicine doc? i duno....i'm just tryin 2 think of another option 4 ya

whatever u choose, just remeber 2 have contol over whatever u use, b/c if ur not carefull, it could get control of u....

The only thing that helps me with sinus headaches is Darvocet. Just one tab will kill the pain all day without leaving me in a haze. Any more than that and I don't like the way I feel. My doc thinks I'm nuts and won't write a script for them very often because she thinks I'm just trying to get a buzz on. So I have to suffer with OTC meds that tear up my stomach and the headache is still there. Good luck.

Thanks folks, and particular to BBZ. Yeah, tried all the meds available in this cunt of a country, then went to Thailand recently and found Temgesic were wonderful and Nubain was freaking great. 0.5 a regular does IM and the pain would go for 2 to 3 days. Great stuff, although I know they are addictive.

So just wondering if anyone has tried the 2mg Chinese hydro's. I need to get quick. I'm sitting through a Supreme Court trial in which we could lose just over a million bucks, and the headaches are biting. Hence my need for them quick. Prompt delivery is assured, it is only the quality I am conderned about.

Cyclo, yes oxycontin and any other oxy or hydrocodone are very addicting. I was just saying that "if" you had to go on pain management therapy for a long period of time, then this would be the best option.

Paul Bunyan, you should tell your dumbass doc that if you were a junky, you would just visit other docs and try to get pain meds that are a hell of a lot stronger. Any former or current pain med addict will tell you that darvocet just doesn't do it for them. If you were trying to get a buzz on you would be trying to get hydro's or oxy's.
