Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Okay, Dan has another appointment on Thurs. Now we have to convince him that Dan is not abusing the hydrocodone, but that 1/2 a day isn't enough. I take the bottle to show how many are left. When I looked at the rx today, I saw that he is only allowed 2 refills (60 each) until March! That means that if he is in extra pain - well forget it and just suffer!
I get tired of having to beg for the pain relief he needs. 1/2 hydrocodone lowers his pain from a 9 (scale 0-10) to about a 7. He needs more, but the dr. seems very reluctant to give it.
Any advice? (He's on other pain meds, but this is the only strong one.)

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
You'll have to keep talking about the pain levels... docs are timid these days, afraid of folks abusing or selling their pills. Sometimes my doc refuse to write my script if there are pills left, make me wait until the run out and then the doc will call it into the pharmacy. My doc only writes one month at a time with no refills. Good Luck!
How often does he suggest you take them. Devide that by the number of pills per month. Percripton usually run in 30 day cycles, but if it say 1 every 4-6 hours, that is 4 a day. At 60 pills, 30 day cycle is at least two a day. I'd call my doctor and ask them to explain the script. Take as suggested on the bottle, one every....how often.
Hope he feels better, chronic pain can be a bi#$h. Even living with it is hard.
