My doctor lowered the dosage of the Norco (Vicodin) to 5 mg and 325 of Tylenol. This has made a huge difference in my overall well being. I am no longer dozing off during the day and the constipation has lessened. However, I do have to take 2 Citrocel's a day for assurance and ease.
I had a really hard time sleeping last night because of a horrible knot in my back and shoulder and after taking a Norco, the pain didn't even subside. It's 10:00 a.m.and I haven't taken another Norco for 7 hours. I don't feel I need it but I am going to the doctor today for them to remove my splint and put on a cast so I'm being proactive since I will have my foot in weird positions on my way in the car.
I can't wait to get off these pills!
On the mend.
Mi Corazon Espinado, a branch of Finaltrypico™, endeavors to reach out to those people suffering with addiction, weather it be; drugs, obesity, pornography, smoking, drinking, you name it. Anything that is holding you back and keeping you from your day-to-day commitments and responsibilities is an "addiction". If you can admit that the addiction is more powerful than you, then you have a problem and you've made the first step.
It's not really that easy getting off this stuff. I don't feel I need it and then I feel I should take one when I feel the incision. My doc says I have to take them until the swelling is gone. I'm in the cast now and it feels better but have developed this weird cough in the middle of the night. I also have insomnia now..oh well, at least I am on medical leave so it doesn't really matter but I have to get on a schedule again like I'm going to work because I start my online class on Monday. It is my last class and extremely important.
ReplyDeleteI hope those of you who are trying to get off pain pills does so with ease although I know that is not possible.
Take Care,
On the mend
