Anyways, I didn't take any today...so I haven't had any since last Thursday. I think I'll just tough the pain out and maybe save the rest of the roxys for when the pain stops to take for fun  |
Using good painkillers for a long time is trouble not only because of the addiction... My last surgery I woke up TWO times during the operation and have total recall of it. I told the surgeon before the surgery what I was taking, how much, etc. But they stick to their books because of all the problems with anesthesia. And I was knocked out with IV Demerol and some sedative. Scary shit.
If you can quit I wish you the best! If you can make it a week without you'll start feeling better. But any time you get hurt, have surgery, or anything that requires painkillers you're taste for them will come right back. They have some pritty good non-narcotic painkillers on the market like Ultram/Tramadol so you could always ask for those in the future if required.
Its always best to use the least amount of painkiller possible for pain. You never know when you'll need the really powerful stuff.
