Hi Oky,
Sorry to hear of the seriousness of your condition. I can only offer my experience with several years of pain meds after a car accident. I too would become tolerant and was afraid of addiction. What I ended up doing was alternating 3 pain meds and that seemed to work pretty well.
1.Vicoprofen (Vicoden if you prefer tylenol). I couldn't take codiene and Hydrocodone worked well.
2.Ultram (tramodal) a little milder
3.Toradol (no "high" but really works on pain) This med is hard on the stomach, and can only be used for a short time.I was taking ritalin and Klonopin at the time I started these meds. I think they augmented, and if pain got really bad I took an extra Klonopin.
Have no idea if this helps you or not, just my experience. Also, not sure if any of these can be taken with Parnate.
Good luck to you-hope you find a solution soon.
Jade
