Need advice about some non narcotic pain meds

[flaminokie04]

Need advice on pain meds. A lil over a month ago the pain clinic suddenly says they can't call medicaid for a doctors pre auth for my pain med which was oxycontin. But they didn't tell me this untill i was in full blown withdraw from the drug. I went to my gp and he is doing a weaning process for me to come off the narcotic more gently. The thing is, We are using loritab that I already had for this process. The GP can't perscribe narcotics from the clinic. this is all fine with me because I want off any meds that I could go into with draw from. So I'm looking for a non narcotic that medicaid will pay for. What are some that you guys use that is working for you?

I started using medicinal marijuana about 2 years ago. i usually get a tincture of half CBD and half THC.  It has been a God send. It didnt pass in law in Florida so we sold home and i now actively use that plus my prescribed meds by doctor. All my doctors are aware that i use it. None have had a problem. It keeps me having a quality of life, I can function

I have used Ultram in the past. I worked okay. Hydrocodone also works okay. But coming from oxy you are going to be in pain no matter what you do. I am currently working with my Dr to wean down the mcg's of fentanyl I am using. I was on 75mcg patches and we have gotten it down to 25mcg. I am going to one day be patch free. My reason was I had to have surgery to remove fluid around my heart caused by RA and the Dr's had trouble putting me under for the procedure due to fentanyl. A side effects that the pain clinic overlooked telling me about!!!

[flaminokie04]

Hydro and Ultram are both narcotic pain meds.

Maybe Tramadol...I don't "think" it's a narcotic but not 100% sure on that

Hate tramodol

Tramadol is an NSAID. So it is safe to use.
