The VA loaded Vets up with 250-350 MG of SSRI’s on top of pain meds. Now they want Vets on 2400-3600 MG of Gabapentin a day to justify staying on their pain meds. I could not drive on over (3) 300 mg gabapentin’s a day. Try the 250-350 MG of an antidepressant SSRI they load PTSD types up with then see if you can do much.
These deaths are mostly 20-35 year old non Vet druggies .My wife’s 31 year old son stole a female’s car at 4 AM plus $50 bucks. He drove to East Nashville to get his heroin fix and wrecked the damn car. I have not had him in this house in over ten years.
Pain pills used to manage pain along with a 75 mg lyrica BID or Gabapentin TID is not a problem. I am on the same dose morphine as I was in 2000. In fact I cut down 110 mg a day. Do not let a non anesthesiologist put a needle in your spine. I had a jerk put too much pressure on a caudal ESI.
I got put on Oxy after I had a seizure and did something to my shoulder, I couldnt take it after about 4 days, it just left me feeling sick to my stomach... I really wonder how you could get addicted?? It didnt even do that much for pain, seemed about like reg ty to me..
Yeah...
It was SO much better when we controlled it well!
“We have a lot of problems in America right now, but perhaps the largest one is drug addiction.”
The largest problem is that we’ve turned from God. All the other problems are just symptoms.
