Hello, Gena! How are you?
How about one of the time released narcotic patches? Both Duragesic and Butrans are available, they are very potent and basically skip the internal processing step.
This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
Is there anything else I can help with?
To by pass the digestive process of the pain meds, you can go the way of the pain pump. It's surgically placed under your skin and currently is the size of a hockey puk. The medication goes right to the spin, by passing the stomach, kidneys, Etc. and the amount is only a grain or more. Because its delivered directly to the spine, the amount you had taken eariler ( orally) is reduced. Having been a victim of crime in my teenage years, rendering me a quadriplegic, now 50 Something, I now use pain medication. Was taking a timed release Morphine named "Kadian" which worked well for me and my studies/school. It didn't make me "foggy headed" but worked well on the neuroathy pain, back pain. Considering going by way of the pump myself. Best of Luck !
Neurontin should help you and it's a non. Narcotic med.I have taken it for a long time and it could help you. R
Looking for a good doctor now such h i really need help.
Can you please put that is in my hand and let me know what Dr.
your going to .
Thank you!!!
Can you hide the pump in your breast?
Dihydrocodeine DHC alone is mail order or in the UK here you can get trezix with acetaphetamine dihydrocodeine and caffeine or synalgos with aspirin dihydrocodeine and caffeine
