My Percocet 5/325 And Lyrica Don't Work
(Newest replies first)

Hi my name is Tree & I have rods & screws in lower back, need a plate in my neck bc I have C 3-7 bulged disc, neck is 4mm from being broke, fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, gun S*** left hand with medal and screws, breast cancer in which I had to have a double mastectomy and the blank blank doctor took muscle from each side of my back run them under my arms and attached them to my chest wall but could have used my chest wall muscles and all this is since 2002 but when I was 7 I was hit by a car broke my leg in five places with bad head injury and almost died and up till 02 other injuries so I'm in bad shape but still try to do what I've always done. The surgery if moving my back muscles was the worst I've ever been through and was completely unnecessary and I have severe depression which I assume is caused by all the aches and pains in my everyday life. I take Percocet 5/325 4xdaily, Lyrica 200mg 3x daily, Baclofen 10mg 3xdaily, well that's how I'm supposed to take it. Just the fibro alone is more than these meds can treat. I've taken Methodone 10mg 3xdaily before and it worked for the most part but still had fibro pains with that and the side effects are dangerous you can fall asleep doing dangerous stuff like driving and I smoke so I burned everything including myself on that med. but the worst thing for me was mental bc other doctors think your a drug addict when you tell them you take methadone so I couldn't stand ppl thinking I was a drug addict. I need stronger meds but I'm scared to say bc I'm afraid if being looked at like I'm an addict but I just can't take the constant pain anymore I have no quality of life. You know if your in constant 24/7 pain it affects everything in your life. My record of taking my meds is great last time I went to my pain management doctor I had 3 prescriptions of Percocet at the pharmacy and I didn't know it. If not for the pain I could drop meds cold turkey day. Anyway if anyone knows of meds that are stronger than what I take but not like the methadone please let me know what is best. My doctor will prescribe it for me but I don't want to try a dozen different meds. Thanks in advance.

Hello, Tree! How are you? I'm so sorry that you're in so much pain.

If the Percocet helps you, there are higher doses of it that you can try, there is a 7.5/325mg and a 10/325mg available. Additionally, there are higher doses of Oxycodone by itself that you could try, if your doctor feels it's appropriate.

The FDA classifies this medication as 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.

There's really no way to say that any given medication is best. It depends on you and your body, what works best for one person might not help you, at all.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?
