> I mean, yeah, Vikoden killed my anxiety when it fought my pain off, but I'm not about to use it for anxiety, though, it's too addicting for that... I don't know, I mean even amphetamines are like no-nos by most docs, who on Earth is going to give our opiates for depression when people in chronic pain have to fight tooth and nail just to get them for their pain?
>I waited 8 years to find a doctor willing to validate my pain and treat it. I suffered 8 years overdosing on NSAIDs and effectively destroying my stomach (now I have reflux for which I have to take 40mg prilosec daily, paid out of my pocket). Just two weeks ago I was started on a pain management program, 60mg codeine/APAP TID. By the way, I found codeine to be rather depressive, not uplifting at all. At least it took away the edge of the pain.
