I'm looking for a Pain Managment Dr, HELP!!
I just went back and read that whole thread.... I'm sorry I missed it before. You would think that there would be medical documentation.
I have not had the "pleasure" of being looked at as a drug seeker YET!
The inclusion of such large doses of acetaminophen in pain medication is a big issue. One online article dealing with this is here. I am presently on a 10/325 (10 mg hydrocodone with 325 mg of acetaminophen) 4 times a day. I copied this from a pain medication website....
The inclusion of high amounts of acetaminophen with all these medications is a rather CRUEL attempt by the pharmaceutical companies to prevent abuse, since overdosing will result in the destruction of the liver. I would describe this, at best, as "not very nice". The Puritanical ethic at work, destroying livers, and lives. "Let's kill off all the druggies." This is way beyond cynical.
Knowing that these drugs are abused, and then filling them up with the poisonous acetaminophen, is criminal malfeasance by the drug companies. One more reason to prosecute them.
So much investigation to do just to try to be somewhat comfortable and live a productive life.
