Opoid Tolerate
Question:
http://arthritis.about.com/od/analgesic/a/palladone.htm This is also on the FDA site which is the new Palladone for pain control. Thought this might help with something new that your body hasn’t taken before. UM MOM Susan

My GI has been pretty good with my pain medicatin, but lately he said he didn’t want to be my drug dealer. I normally run out of my pain meds before before my next refill. Like with the oxycodone, im suppose to take 6 a day, but i have to take 6 just to get any effect. > I don’t know if the tolerance will go down as long as you are on pain > control medication.

75 of demerol wasn’t really that effective, well it was but only for like a hour or so. They refused to increase my dosage. The most i was on was 150, which i think is the max. > As long as you are taking you medication for pain control and for the > high you are not doing anything wrong. > I hope that I was able to help.

I normally go out of town to hospitals, at the local hospital here they treat me like im some kind of drug addict, So ill drive for an rather than deal with the ebarressment and frustration > Good luck, be comfortable – Paul

You are no longer what the call "opiate niave" this is a normal status for someone who has been on narcotics for an extended period of time. This is not something that you should be emarrassed about or even worried about. As long as you are taking narcotics for a purpose you will not become an addict. I am on a program of oxycontin, a slow reelease form of oxycodone and when the pain gets too bad I take straight oxycodone. I also take dexedrine aat breakfast and lunch so that I won’t be groggy. I had a flaare and noticed that I was taking oxycodone much more frequently, the Dr increased my oxycontin and my consumption of straight oxycodone went down. This scheme was developed by two anesthetists and a psychiatrist, I have been on it for a year and it works great. My GI is a firm believer in providing as much comfort as possible for her IBD patients she says we have a right to it and any doctor who does not provide adequate pain control the physician in question is not doing his/her duty. I don’t know if the tolerance will go down as long as you are on pain control medication. By the was Demerol 75 isn’t bad, I usually get 100-125. For additional comparison, a Percocet 10 contains 10 mg of oxycodone, caffiene, and aceteminophen. As long as you are taking you medication for pain control and for the high you are not doing anything wrong. I hope that I was able to help. I have been through this discussion with my GI many times because Of an intrinsic fear of over using my meds. She always puts my mind to rest over it.
