Experiences with

Opiates

Most doctors in Mexico are not permitted to prescribe any opiates, however tramadol is OTC. I don't know if any of the other synthetic opiates are available, but will check. My question is because I have augmented on tramadol, will I have the same response to other opiates, synthetic or natural?

I’d be grateful for advice on a.) potential withdrawal issues, and b.) alternative opiates.

After reading about research being done in Md re: the use of Stimulants along with Opiates for chronic pain, I was interested in being a subject in this study. I have had excellent results and wish to help others. Anyone know where to apply to be a subject in this or related research? Thanks.

I am aware of the research into opiates and chronic pain not being effective, which on average maybe true, but for certain pain patients with chronic low back pain along with sciatica opiates can be effective.

Also possible bowel problems- I already have serious chronic constipation caused by opiates.

I would favour opiates and know those that might be candidates, but suggestions as to any possible courses of treatment would be welcome.

Thus for over 300 years opiates remained the ONLY truly effective treatment for this disease. This category of medications includes codiene, hydrocdone ,morphine , hydromorphone , methadone , Buprenorphine and pentazocine.

hello, i was curious I have refractory rls and even buphenorphine and Methadone don’t do much it’s so strange my body hates me lol Has anyone taken opiates and had them not to much for u?

I have recently been prescribed Oramorph to deal with back pain, but have read on an alternative site that opiates "feed" the tumour. Does anyone know anything about this statement please? Jenny

I think this is much better than opiates, or kratom Or pharmaceuticals. Anyone else using, seems like an easy thing to get in USA.

I know ‘pain medication’ are dirty words these days but thank the Lord for Opiates, Analgesics and NSAIDS! Pilates is a big part of my daily routine. 3 x 1 hours sessions per week plus 4 x 15 minute sessions first thing to get me moving more easily.

I would never tell RLS sufferers to not use opiates we need it desperately. I just feel like most first line meds do nothing unless it’s a mild case supplements do nothing and I was thinking how is opiates really helping us?

Suffering with pain due to gallstones, as I am allergic to NSAIDs and opiates like most mastos, pain relief has been poor. Consultant has prescribed Nefopam 30mg. No reactions and at last pain is bearable. Better than fentanyl as not as strong.

Prior to this procedure, I used every alternative option, including 4 surgical procedures, acupuncture, chiro, massage, PT, opiates, etc. Nothing was successful, and I am quite happy with the pain relief I have using this implant.

The GP I like has left and the remaining ones are anti opiates although they allow my Morphine as its slow release they won't let me try any other apart from Targinact which I found pretty useless My ferritin is normally checked annually and hovers around the100 mark but GPs refuse to do it anymore as

My doctor even wondered if I had RLS at this point or if it’s something else.. it does seem weird that some opiates don’t even touch the symptoms.

And eventually was hospitalised for a week because the pain was unbearable with limited response to opiates. I also began to experience bladder pain and urge to urinate constantly. Issues defecating but also accounted to high opiate doses. I felt often dismissed and told cysts are painful.

For an adult cancer patient who has “no evidence of disease” and wants to use LDN as recurrence prevention, I generally set a target dose of 2mg – 4.5mg. I start at 2mg and gradually increase to 3mg then 4mg then 4.5mg as tolerated. I use bedtime dosing as long as sleep is ok prior to starting LDN.

Any thoughts on this critical review. One thing that strikes me as odd, is how there is no information regarding efficacy since 2012. That's 10 years. If something works well, then why isn't there new data showing that? Some people say, it can't hurt, so just do it. That makes sense if it is true

I have been on a 2mg Neupro patch for the last few years, I have had good success with it and it has given me great relief in the past. In the last few weeks they have stopped working and I now find I have to take an opiate every night to get any sleep I can.I am thinking of trying Buprenorphine ....
