Tramadol
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?

Duloxetine - Lack of Motivation
Opiates
and NSAID's don't even make a dent in the pain, and I'm very allergic to Amitriptyline, so Duloxetine is really the last chance saloon in terms of sourcing medication for pain management, and I have been on 60mg now for about 2 months.

Prednisolone vs Co-codamol 30/500
I’m long term PMR, down to 6mg pred and this will be my dose for life. I still ache every day and take normally two Co-codamol 30/500 first thing in morning and at 1800 hrs. I am due à medicine review by my surgery pharmacist and I am pretty sure they want me to cut down or stop the Co-codamol. My

my story
I live in the US and have had RLS and peripheral neuropathy for a number of years and controlled it using tramadol. My doctor took me off of it because of opiate regulations. After trying and failing at buprenorphine, that doctor decided that since I was 80 years old, had been taking a low dose of Tramadol

Dear Doctor
Since moving to a new area - I’ve had to reduce the MST I was taking. But it got to the stage, about a month ago, when pain was breaking through too much. I’ve tried to reason with the GP on the phone but the dose continued to be cut. (During this period, a different GP from the surgery came out on

Insomnia
From what I read online, Kratom is similar to
Opiates
and I am one of the few who get palpitations and Insomnia from both. I saw 2 doctors recently, both admitted ignorance, refused buprenorphine, and prescribed meds (one of which was amitriptyline) which made the rls worse.

The state of NASH & Liver Cirrhosis for me in 2023
Eight years ago now (wow has it really been that long?) My NASH journey began with a big bang... Five years ago I posted THIS https://healthunlocked.com/fatty-liver-nash/posts/137898399/coping here on this site which may give you a little background. My memory tends to get a little foggy on details

Buprenorphine patch failure. Now very few med options left.
I would favour
opiates
and know those that might be candidates, but suggestions as to any possible courses of treatment would be welcome.

Well, so much for feeling normal....
Opiates
do not work for nerve pain and the tumor is pressing on my nerves.

Post spine fusion pain management
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.

Kratom Interaction with other meds
Good morning all. I am trying to make sense of a hideous night I had last night and wondered if anyone has experience with taking Kratom alongside prescription meds? This si what happened... I have been on Kratom for 7 weeks (I used it to come off Tramadol to help with the withdrawals and also to control

Do you want you doctor to prescribe an opioid instead of DA ?John Hopkins statistics on both.
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.

LDN Dosing for Cancer - General Guide
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.

Hell is back in town
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.

Research shows Stimulants are effective in treating chronic pain. How can I become a subject in future research ?
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.

A critical review of Provenge. Your inputs welcomed?
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
