I am now on 30mg of oxycontin x2 a day, and its a horrendous drug. even 10 minutes late and you get sweats, pain comes flooding back from my pysical injury to my back and hips.

20 mins late and i get a horrible ill feeling in my stomache and dizzy spells plus the above.

30 minutes late, all of the above plus now its real slow movement and now the sweat turns into a torrent of sweat and now i feel real sick.

Phew. taken my meds now and the effects of being late are fading. its now replaced by red eyes and very very heavy eyelids, i need to sleep.

after an hour of sleep i usually awaken under the influence of Oxycontin but today i awaken to random vomiting while asleep once again. Nice drug eh.

well at last its 6 hours now and its all settled down. only another 6 hours till i go through this all again. my 2 am meds i sometimes miss if i fall asleep in bed or in my chair and my partner is asleep and kids.

And i just found out i am in the middle group in my esa medical. LOL.

Hi maddy,

Its quite true re meds and effects!

I am on lyrica and soon as starts wearing off i slow rite down, i feel rough and its hard to explain too.

I tried to wean off at one point but i felt so rough and helpless and weak.

Bit like a car when low on fuel or if runs out!!! I dont wrk if do not take them.

Quite worrying how i progressed over 2 yr period and trying so hard not to think ahead.

So glad you feeling better now you re fueled but talk to Dr if it is worrying you! Xxxxcazziexx

Ohh Maddy Wow i feel amateur lol i not upto that yet but yes i know it goes to 600mg and thats max as far as i know.

I have 4 times a day and its been a miracle for me but still really suffer am almost to wanting to up again!!!

I talk jumble rubbish and balance and thinking, memory all i can say is that it was something i had to really persist with to wrk for wks and now i am so slow weak and really suffer if not take! It gives me some life back or be on sofa or bed.

I do wrk running my own business and struggling really so much now.

Previously tried other things that did not agree!!

Yes its a funny drug, but once you get the dose right, its good at dampening the fibro pain. i have had every single pain killer on the market. since 1996 when i became fibromised but never knew what i had nor docs, they done tests and hit me with every drug known to man, finally in 2008 i was found to have fibro and i could finally fit into a pidgeon hole.

since then i have full support and everything possible done for me.

fre stair lift for when i can not walk far, walk in wet room show all new and free, adaptions to house, and a 1 month pain course.

now i can apparently learn how to cope with and try to avoid pain.

and my sleeping or lack of i should say was treated. Did it help, bits did.

And i am in the majority, because i am male and fibro mainly hits females. Anyhow, i cope and carry on and bring my kids up and thank god i have the internet which is the best drug ever for fibro pain.

Well done Maddy and great you have got everything too!

Your kids will be an asset to you aswell like mine are!

As much as i not got stair lift or wet room but my hubby did put a shower in for me and i still fall out ( how i do not know i must judge the frame wrong lol)

I do now sliwly get up stairs and the thing with me i still run my wrk,

I feel in denial a lot but i am having to realise its a part of me now and my family.

Simple things wear you out for days !

Still struggling finding what help i can get being an Employr.

I love internet always googling and researching :-)

I think this Lyrica is amazing for me as i am sooooo weak and nothing in me without it, then i seem to come around when take it and can do a bit more.

Xxxx thanks maddy

Aw bless you that sound s awful havent heard of that drug but dont think i want it lol

Its what they use to bring heroin addicts off the drug and its actually a drug which is misused by hard drug addicts. Its morphine based drug. But its either the side effects or really bad pain. no good for fibro but superb for real pain.

I have tried many other things too but this is best for nerve pain :/)
