I haven't spoken to my doctor that I have this problem. I will from now on be giving my meds to a family member who will be giving me each day what I am supposed to take. The problem with most of my family is that they just plain don't understand addiction. It has never been a part of their life. They don't understand what a grasp it has on you. And as for other meds, the other day I was asking the doc about some of the meds like celebrex, but I have right uncontrolled blood pressure and he won't try anything like that with me. And Ibuprofen works great on pain, I can only take it occasionally because it affects my urinary tract (I have had some kidney problems since I was a little girl). So this is where I've wound up. I take darvocet and oxycodone...the oxycodone at night to help me sleep. (or supposedly). But I think I would be better with giving that up and only having darvocet, which doesn't have quite as bad a grasp. But with the family member's help maybe I can straighten myself out. Good grief, I feel like a perpetual juvenile. Bleehhhh!!
