So recently my backs been hurting way more than normal so decided to renew my pay killer prescription.
Man I forgot how much easier life was on a few hundred my of codine a day. Hardly any pain when I'm moving around but mainly I'm just happy and cheerful and anxiety is completely gone. Do have to mind my mouth though as I tend to get far to open and chatty. |

Tried that stuff when i had a brutal concussion, i was a bit of a tit for a while. Couldnt read/walk straight for a few weeks either which was annoying, plus my mate took away my car keys for my own good.... I felt great though, codine rawks. |

Ah codeine. Nothing quite like it, I wasn't so keen on some of the other side effects though e.g. constipation that only dynamite would shift  |

You can get used to being pain free,or almost pain free. It does make you more cheerful and a nicer person. I only took codeine in co-codamol for a cold because Lemsip capsules weren't helping. Luckily for me when my immune system is fighting a cold it leaves my body alone so I don't take my anti-inflammatory medication. |

"Its all very well until you become addicted to it"
Yes that's why I stopped I was on it for about 18 months continuously and stopped because if I missed or forgot my pills it was horrible the withdrawl was very very unpleasant which is why I haven't taken them in about 6+ months till now |

Most doctors who have prescribed it to me have been very careful to ensure thst I have a plan to come off it. There aren't many effective pain killers that aren't addictive. |

Our bodies show pain for a reason. Blocking signals with pain killers is only a temporary thing. Codeine is addictive and also damages liver and kidneys and bungs you up. |

I just have a prescription for 11 boxes of 100 and every time I get a new one the repeat goes back up to 11 boxes. |

I know the feeling. The lack of support for anyone going through prescription drug addiction issues is next to none. If I was (generalising as an example) a heroin addict, homeless and committing crime to fund my habit all the stops are pulled out to help you. If you have issues with painkillers its very hard to find help. GP's cannot prescribe buprenorphine (an opiate subsitute used to rehab from opiate addiction whether thats heroin or codeine which are essentially the same thing) |

Yes to inform me that the soft tissue is damaged however since it will always be that way now it's kind of like your child going "are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet" on a long journey, yes you should probably listen to them but every so often it's nice a to stick the ear phones on and have a respite. |

What kind of back injury do you have (yes I'm a nosey sod). Codeine is great for pain relief in the short term but an anti-inflammatory such as diclofenac or naproxen would probably be more beneficial in the long term or if the pain is muscular diazepam.
Saying that codeine is kinda awesome, just keep some ducolax handy. |

I don't know about your first part tbh I've known people in that exact situation being given the phone number of a charity is not what I would call "all the stops pulled out"
buprenorphine has a lot of issues that don't really make it suitable for outpatient use though. |

A sweeping statement possibly but ive seen people as described assigned caseworkers who pretty much do everything for them - get them on a rehab programme, find them housing, get them legal assistance so on and so forth.
I think buprenorphine is very useful for outpatient use when compared to say methadone. But thats just my experience and opinion. |

The nhs diagnosed it as "soft tissue injury" and went as far as giving me an xray with the doctor going "really this is pointless you need an MRI" :/
Followed by "physio" which consisted of being given a pamphlet that was so badly photocopied it was barely readable with some exercises.
Insurnace after about 12 month managed to get me private physio as part of the settlement where they said cause e of the injury I'd started to hunch which made my lower spine curve more to compensate which is what's now causing the pain from muscle tension and compression
The private physio included manipulation of each vertebrae and the muscles of the user back to loses them up and deal with the bad curvature and for a few days after each session I could stand up perfect try straight with no pain no issue and didn't need pain killers. But after the sessions ran out after a few months bounced back to the nhs which despite all the info from the private firm resulted in....you guessed it a pamphlet with some stretches.
After that I stopped taking the pain killers and just learned to live with the pain. It just infuriates me to know that there was something that worked perfectly and was helping and I was making head wag to improving the posture and the problem without he sessions but once they were gone the exercises alone just weren't enough. |

For addiction yes for pain use it had the problem that it stops the painkillers working and in desperation people will keep upping the dose and potentialy od on say the paracetamol or the opiates.
An inpatient course though would be a very good way.
Spending most of each night in the bath room alternating between vomiting and dhioreha was not fun.
I think a lot of the care you get varies mainly with where you live.
One thing I do find worrying though is I have a basically unlimited prescription for opiates....I have a medial history of depression including a suicide attempt by overdose of opiates.
You'd have thought that would have been an issue lol. |

You can ssk to see a different physio if you don't think the first one was much good.
I have to say though that i have mostly had good experiences with nhs physio |

I've had some shocking physio's through the NHS but I've had some great ones too.
I'm surprised they've not prescribed Diazepam to relieve/reduce muscular spasms, it's very effective but sadly also addictive/habit forming. |

Correct, buprenorphine binds to receptors in the brain so if one was to take any other opiates they wouldnt work. Paracetamol and ibuprofen do not bind so still work in normal fashion. For severe chronic pain buprenorphine has been prescribed and does work well for some.
Sounds like the vomiting could have been withdrawal or reaction to the bupenorphine dose, it can cause heavy nausea when first administered. Some studies have shown it to reduce depression and anxiety in some although everyone is different but its worrying to think the drs would just tick off your prescription knowing your past issues.

i have a slipped disc and have been juggling painkillers for 2 years..now im on naproxen,paracetemol, 2 codeine last thing at night with amitryptiline for nerve pain...as pain free as i can be until they actually get rid of the problem..im suprised you've been given so many prescriptions..that sounds really unethical..or at least somewhat cavalier! |

I have psoriatic arthritis and was taking codeine like smarties, never had any side effects with them though. Am now on tramadol which is a more effective painkiller, but leaves me feeling like a constipated zombie at times  |

My GP prescribed me varying strengths so that I could take the maximum when I needed it then slowly wean myself off when the pain was bearable. |

That's a lot of pain and a lot of painkillers.
My GP, knowing my suicide attempts with painkillers, only lets me have a handful at a time. Codeine did make the world feel better though.
I hope your pain eases.

I think where medication is concerned I'm lucky to not have an addictive brain. I had Lorazepam sat in my cupboard for months and they are very addictive. I would hate to be addicted to painkillers. |

I'm very controlled about things I know I can become addicted to. Except when my brain goes doolally.

Haha it was funny as at one point I was picking up a box of 14 mirtazapine anti depressant tablets every two weeks so I didn't "od" (not even sure it's possible) while on the same prescription I had boxes of 100 codine tabs. |

This is quite an interesting thread,
Opioid overdose are common these days.
Noloxone usually perks ppl up depending on how much they have had.
Long term damage can be bad and in cases of ODs you'll usually end up on acetylesaline depending on your levels.
Am surprised from the ppl who suffer from chronic back pain why they didn't give you slow release patches instead.
I'm also "someone in the know"
