[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 549531, member: 1514"] Nancy,, i suppose you are directing that comment at me. I have not looked back to see what I said. It may have been susie though but also Marg could weigh in here. The research clearly shows that chronic pain patients do not any sort of high or addiction to long term use of pain medication. There is a major difference between addiction and dependence on something. We would not be having this conversation about thyroid medications, insulin, O2, blood pressure medications or any other medications that doctors have to adjust from time to time as a patients body changes its need for those certain medications. The most obvious is thyroid and insulin. Most people dont take the same dose of insulin every day. It depends on what their readings are. That is much the same thing for pain patients. I dont think I have ever gotten a high from my pain medications. I have felt bad from one or two and immediately reported back that I thought it was the wrong medication for me and asked for something lower for me. I refuse to take anything that will make me feel not myself. I am much more at risk of that from my psychiatric medications though. The combo I took for the H Pylori was absolutely horrible and made me feel like I was in some sort of a fog and they were antibiotics. [/QUOTE]
