So from 4pm the pain got so intense i gave into drugs. 200mg sr an 2x1oomg of tramadol 2x500mg paracetamol,10mg valium. This mix seems to work best of what I’ve got but it still doesn’t stop nightmares or completey stop Trigeminal Neuralgia.
The other day I was lucky enough to find a 40mg Oxycontin. It worked perfect the pain was numbing and light I could deal with it for hours. Pity the doc still has me on Tramadol.
This is How I’d Rate The following Pain Medications:
Tramadol – 5/10 Good because of its long lasting effect.
Acupuncture – ??? not sure yet only 3 shots. No drugs involved
Codeine – 7/10 Works well. but doesn’t last long enough. Slightly better then Tramadol
Tegretol – 3/10 Noticed small therapudic difference but many side effects. Eg. hallucinations, sleep probs got worse, vertigo, nausea, vomiting a lot.
Oxycontin – 9/10 1x40mg Worked the best the stabbing turn into a light throbbing Much much easier to live with. Unfortuatley I’m not got an official script. Pity as I rate it highly.
Diazepam – 6/10 some may disagree with this but I say it help calm my face down and definately getting rid of the anxiety of it I’ve used Valium for quite a while and havem’t seemed to become dependant.
Celebrex – 1/10 no noticable difference just more chemicals. possible minor effect(not sure)
I’m really hoping something will work soon I don’t want to get too depressed over this catch it before it gets that far so to speak.
Peace,
NW
