Just wanted to let everyone know that my wife is taking me to a mental health facility. I cant go on feeling like this any longer.
Damn doctor's.

Since I'm majoring in pharmacology I can't help but mention that Norco contains hydrocodone, not codeine. Similar, you make hydrocodone from a codeine synthesis, but some people tolerate codeine better than hydrocodone. Might just be that you have a genetic predisposition for having lots of the enzymes that metabolize hydrocodone into other stuff (hydromorphone and norhydrocodone being the main ones), so what would for someone be a standard 5-10mg dose may be "treated" by your body as more even though it's technically not. Had an old ladyfriend that couldn't even take a single 5mg hydrocodone because she'd puke, she took 2 Tylenol 3's (60mg codeine) and could barely keep her focus without nodding out every few minutes. Everyone's different and I suspect that either you're a hypermetabolizer or just sensitive to the side effects of opiates (which is a blessing itself, truth be told...)Thanks everyone, pain has subsided a LOT, but damn my body does not even like baby doses of Norco. Thankfully MMJ helped, but not totally. My body just does not like codeine tablets![]()

There may or may not come a time where you'll have to deal with pain that cannabis can't touch so you may want to give codeine (hell even half a Tylenol 3, would only be 15mg codeine) a shot if narcotic relief is needed.
I'm back and even more confused. Mom - you already know. It's like the doctors are having a pissing match of what to do for me. Now my psychiatrist says what my neuro did is insane! You can't stop an anti-psychotic without weening.
So now I'm back on it and they doubled my fucking anti-depressant.
I'm like a pill disposal.

If we ingested the nutrients we needed versus the food we want each of us would be in much better condition.
I am more of a supplement guy, I just discontinued my most expensive script (a powerful anti-fungal) recently for a much cheaper (and better) home remedy. I just started with a new regime, where I take a packet of pills that my (integrative) doc came up with (no more stupid multivitamins), but I also have plenty of specialty pills that I can't discontinue. So I alternate the packets with the other pills on odd days, with just a few that I take daily on both. If I was following label directions, I would be taking 40% more pills daily (about two dozen), feel worse, and have less money. So for me it's a synergy thing.
I've been doing this type of juggling for a while now and have learned that less is sometimes more when taking a shitload of pills, because they can interfere with each other. Now I feel like I'm finally hitting my stride with these things, the only two scripts I still take (pain pills and muscle relaxants) are dirt cheap just the way I like them

If I could only sort out my cramping/electrical issues I would be good to go, but I fear that this condition can only get worse and I have no idea what to do about it. It's my biggest issue now, the other night I didn't get any sleep because I couldn't lay down for any length of time, it was the worst episode yet and I was fucking miserable. It has nothing to do with minerals, hydration, or electrolytes, it's degenerative cervical stenosis.

I do know and it has been painful watching it happen to you mvapes.....I'm back and even more confused. Mom - you already know. It's like the doctors are having a pissing match of what to do for me.
