non-opiate replacement for hydrococone?

Posted by liliths on December 8, 2006, at 8:19:48

hi all,

Does anyone know of anything I can use that might work like the hydrocodone did without testing postivies for opiates in my urine?

My diagnosis is ADD/anxiety/depression
my current regimen is
focalin xr 40mg - once day
wellbutrin 100mg - 2x day
buspar - 22.5mg - 2x day
klonopin - 1mg - 2x day / 2mg evenings
hydrocodone 7.5mg - 2x day

Despite being stated as "safe and stable to practice and doing well on my current regimen" I am being forced to withdraw all use of opiates and submit to random urinalysis for 5 years if I want to obtain my state license to practice Massage Therapy

discussion of what I'm up against has been moved to 'work' but I need med info if I'm going to consider accepting their conditions to get my damn license while I also mount a discrimination suit.

I'm posting the links to the threads for anyone who wants background info:

the original thread for the whole story:

the update of what happened yesterday:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/work/20060706/msgs/711363.html

I am really concerned as, obviously, with all that's been going on, I'm a mess - hardly in a position to be changing meds right now and the hydrocodone appears to be the only thing that allows me to 'do' anything - it really does affect my motivation/depression. The buspar does nothing for my anxiety - it only works as to augment the wellbutrin.

I've been so stressed out since this thing began, I'm basically non-functional and suicidal (BUT that is NOT a threat - I have a 16 year old cat totally dependent on me that I've sworn to never leave - as long as she's alive, it's not an option.) But I do obsess about it constantly as I feel desperate and defeated and hopeless. It just seems inevitable

this has been an ongoing nightmare.

so I thank you for allowing me to rant and I do apologize for that

and once more, in case you've forgotten the original reason for this post through all my nonsense

are there any meds that might work in place of the hydrocodone? I don't do well on SRRI's and can't handle any drug with weight gain side effect. Is there anything I can try?

thanks for listening

namaste,
lilith
