Long story short, I'm being treated for chronic facial pain, and after some improvement have relapsed, and NOW the doctor cuts off the prescription pain meds(hydrocodone), there's no reasoning with him. I've never asked for extra drugs, in fact have consistently stretched each one week script into two weeks of doses. He won't switch meds. either. OTC stuff has only minimal effect, even large doses, example: today at 10am I took three Aleve, at noon three extra strength tylenol, at 2pm three Ibuprophen, and never had significant pain reduction.
Any recommendations for other OTC stuff or effective mixtures of stuff? AND how much of this stuff and in what mixes can I take without killing myself. I am NOT good at being in pain! CarolAnn
p.s. also taking Doxepin (antidepressant for pain)100mgs. thanks ya'll!
