hey we are on almost all the same meds I wanna chat and see how they work for u vs me

like?

that's what I heard too from my sis that has lyme and was lucky enough to get ldn

low dose naltrexone gave me horrible dreams. made my insomnia so much worse. tbh it is hard to get, i got it for my chronic pain. and a lot of doctors really don’t know ab it

I was prescribed that for both fibromyalgia (by a pain physician) and MCAS (by a GI who specializes in MCAS). I wouldn’t call it a wonder drug, but it does help

I take naltrexone with wellbutrin together because they act as an appetite suppressant.

was put on it for self injury. did not benefit from it at all, really.

my pain doctor prescribed it to me. I'm still titrating and only on 1.5 mg so far. Eventually I'll take 3mg daily. Do far- I've not noticed anything good or bad. I'm really hoping to feel a difference in the next few weeks. I'll check back and let you know.

it truly has been a wonder drug for me. I know there are doctors out there - please message if I can help in any way

I just started it less than 2 weeks ago for ME/CFS. Nothing noticeable yet but they started me very low dose at 0.5mg.

really??? I was on it from 1998 til like 2012. I just eventually stopped it myself.

lol same here

Same!!

same 🙏

same here.

you must have a very understanding pain management doctor. I wish I had the same.

wow I wish I had that collection of pain pills

how on earth did you get lucky enough to find a doctor that understanding

I cosign how lucky you are to have such an understanding doctor. Wow, if only.

You are so fortunate to find someone willing to prescribe like that. I can’t find anyone who will. The best I can get is Tramadol, and that does nothing for the pain I have.

🤗

couldn't agree more 🤣

preach

I want to look into this

that's the one! but if you're in the states be careful who you're buying from they're been putting fentanyl in weed ):

same

yesss

weed 😍

yes!

👍

💯

❤️ 👍

My wonder drug as well

100% yes

calms me down 🍃💨

cannabis gives me the munchies all the time too much of everything

👍

agree...or it's the best I have

enjoy the lung cancer

yes! For me there hasn’t been a single medication they’ve tried to give me that worked on tears to the shoulder. Surgery or live with the pain was my options… I tried cannabis and wow. I could finally do things a little better not 100% but a little more is better than the nothing before so for me that’s a miracle.

I wish IN would hurry up and legalize it!

Yes but it's exspensive

Yeah, I get this tincture, 4:1 cbd to thc ratio, from the dispensery. It's great for quieting my mind because there's nothing worse than being physically doped up from your meds so unable to get up and do things but unable to shut your brain off enough to sleep despite being stuck in bed. I've found that the 4:1 mix is subtle but gets the job done so if you're really suffering from insomnia instead of just wanting a legal way to get high, they're amazing. If all you care about is getting high, the 4:1 tincture isn't going to do much for you. But I still call it a wonder drug because I spent a decade trying all kinds of different insomnia remedies and none of them worked. Not Lunesta, not ambien, not melatonin, not scented candles combined with delta wave music or whatever you call that synth stuff that has those frequencies in it that are supposed to help with sleep combined with a loona dreamscape. I do recommend against delta 8 gummies that you can pick up at places like vapor maven etc, for insomnia or anything else for that matter. Before I had my medical card I tried them and I had an incident where I lost the ability to swallow for a few hours. It wasn't affecting my breathing but my mind was panicking over it as badly as if it were. Not a fun experience. I was doped up from my normal meds, and I didn't want to fall asleep till I was sure I wasn't gonna stop breathing, so I was having to pace the house with great difficulty. Probably should have woken my parents but mom works and dad is in constant pain so if he's actually asleep I don't like to ruin it for him because he needs whatever he can get. But anyway, the reason I tried delta 8 is because I knew cannabis helped with the insomnia and delta 8 is a kind of thc, one that's federally legal. But after that incident, I decided I should get my card instead. It's not worth the risk... and even though delta 8 is totally legal, it'll make you pop positive on a drug test anyway or so I've read since then. So it's a bad choice for people with jobs that drug test or who have pain doctors that won't prescribe anymore if you pop positive, even if you aren't particularly worried about the no-swallowing incident.

What type or a name brand of cannabis cream do you use?

I am on a similar regime except no weed

I haven't tried the topical but my friend swears by them.

I would highly suggest not taking gabapentin it is an under researched over prescribed big pharma drug that cause major health issues after long term use

ask if you can try Baclofen or Pregabalin

get that is it worth it

seriously! What is up with doctors overprescribing gabapentin

docs also want me to get spinal cord stimulator. Please do your research. There is an Australian company called Saluda that has the most sophisticated state-of-the-art stimulator

me too

Have you tried chiropractors in your area? They might have spine machines. I haven't tried Gabapentin. Have you tried higher doses on it?

I used to take a lot lot of K-pins and then I cut it out close turkey because it was just too much

same I plan to take them forever

Klonopin really helps with my anxiety, but I seem to swing back and forth with anxiety or depression being the most problematic

have you ever had issues trying to decrease or cease klonopin? 3mg is a lot, I was on clonazepam for years on a low dose and suddenly ceased because doctors don’t like to prescribe it anymore and I’ve had the most horrific side effects of ceasing this medication and the doctor just says oh “it will pass” only problem is it won’t stop and most days I feel so anxious I could die……it’s so uncomfortable and I am starting to feel like there’s no end to the pain and anxiety over it. Any information would help thank you 🙏🏻

oh Jesus that’s good to read cause I am over here thinking that’s my wonder drug but tbh it is addictive as fffff

does CBD work anywhere near as well as cannabis?

yes same here

that’s an awful lot of oxycodone. Most doctors won’t prescribe more than 100 mg a day you must be a lucky puppy dog

Drinking makes my anxiety horrible. It sucks.

what is that for

tramadol was so awesome back in the day. It kept me happy as a clam. But the stuff I do now makes something like tramadol absolutely worthless anymore.

lol it's funny you mentioned that. I am addicted to the Vicks Inhaler you stick up your nose.

😆

dr took me off of it because it’s bad for you’re kidneys.

Not addicted, but have ADHD

I have been on celexa for 12 plus years, it just stopped working 😩.

I have a script and haven't started it due to fear of side effects 😅

I feel the same way about Lexapro for PMDD but I have to get off of it because it's giving me muscle cramps. May need to try sertraline next.

same. Most drugs make me a zombie mommy.

my experience was very similar

but honestly those physical side effects you mention would affect my mental acuity in the long run (it was messing with my sleep) so it was pretty counterproductive. But yeah in the short term, it worked. They work for all people those, not just those of us with ADHD

I am so curious to see how the research for bipolar and psilocybin turns out! I've been worried about hypomanic episodes as a result of shrooms so I've never done them. Have you found that to be a problem?

I hear good things about the shrooms can't wait to try them but don't know how to get them

How can I get more information on this?

does it help with pain or just mood?

Prozac is amazing! Changed my life for sure

I'm currently without my Lyrica and it sucks balls

well of course. We are human, right? Humans need stable health conditions, right? And pharma knows that's exactly why people can't live without them. Any drug is addictive. Whether you are addicted to the feel when it kicks in or the feeling of your health progressing back to normal.

that is one of two meds I absolutely refuse to ever take again. It made me insanely violent. Never again.

seroquel xr is the only thing that helps with my anxiety. Klonopin doesn't even work! Seroquel helps so much

yes! Lithium is mighty effective but the side effects are terrible!
