Tramadol to Oxycodone: A Miracle

[melyssa221]

ive been through every drug in the book in search for BFS relief. i would say tramadol is the best but it really had harsh side effects. so i now take oxycodone 5mg 2 to 3 times a day.. it by far has the greatest positive impact on my life. it is like a miracle.. the pain in my legs..feet.. all the buzzing and twitching,, all the worm crawling sensations, the fatigue are almost completly eliminated. i finally have my life back.. i no longer spend time on the couch or soaking in epsom salts.. the misery of bfs. i now enjoy coffee without suffering. i go for long walks with my wife.. im up and doing things ,,, being active and enjoying life once again.. just like i was before i had bfs. you can say what you want about how addictive it can be or how its a narcotic or what ever.. its better than sufferring from bfs.. im not saying anyone should take oxycodone,,, im just expressing my happiness of having my life back as close to normal

Congrats on getting some relief. I have not tried oxycodone but use tramadol that was prescribed during my last Neurologist visit. You mention you had some unwanted side affects from the tramadol. Can you share that info in this thread or via email to me directly? Again, congrats on the pain relief.

12Drifter12,BEWARE. You deal with oxy, you may be headed for trouble.I know. I became addicted after back surgery. I am now clean and have go to meetings to deal wth this added hell.. Addiction IS HELL .I know that right now you feel great,I also found that narcotics make you feel 100% better,but over time you could be just adding one hell to another.Like we say,You think you have trouble now,Just pick up Anyway good luck,But be VERY careful.

i am well aware of its addictive potenial.. i will only allow myself 1 pill every 5-6 hours.. not even enough to get a narcotic effect. i take it because it gives me a bfs free life.. BFS is a chronic illness,, so if its with me for life and theres a pill to get rid of it... im going to take it.. ive tried everything...with little or no sucess. if there was a pill that was NON-narcotic that helped me live a bfs free life i would take it.. im waiting for a cure. there is no cure for BFS.. i will be safe.

I would eat the oxy's too. Anything that works would be great.

eat OXYs ,, yes ,., live BFS free.. it works!!!! im living proof.. been taken them for almost 3months.. the thing is its not a cure.... because when the drug wears off your back to BFS,,, but as long as you keep taking it BFS and all its funky symptoms go away and you can focus on getting your life back... the pain and parathesia buzzing,, ect gone hootie who!!!!!

Is your doctor worried about dependence on the drug? When I have a few alcoholic beverages, my twitching subsides... it comes back fierce the next day.... obviously drinking has consequences... I'd go out on a limb and say that anything that depresses your CNS probably makes things easier. I think after my ankle surgery, Vicodin did the trick too.

Anyway man, obviously you've got a band-aid here and not a long-term solution. I've got a neuro appt and am going to see if he'll script me Low-dose Naltrexone.

This new product may have some potential to both reduce BFS and avoid some the the stigma associated with Oxy.

Oxycodone does work and i take is as prescribed.. when and if im ready to stop i just have to tapper down... maybe switch to tramadol for a while..im under a physcians agreement.. i have to see my doctor every 3 months for an evaluation. its not a big deal.. i just made a choice.. live in pain with bfs or take a narcotic and live a bfs free life.. im well aware of the consiquences... i know what the drug can do to you if you take it improperly, but if you take it properly it is proven safe pain management. i dont have to deal with withdraw because i take it the way its prescribed.. i have no desire to take high doses and withdraw later... my party days are over ... im 34 years old.. i just want BFS and pain relief and i got it.

 

[melyssa221]

im very aware,, thanks.. i made a choice in my life to live bfs free.. as long as i take my meds im ok..when im ready to stop i will tapper off slowly.. i know your trying to save me from hell.. but everyones different..i have my plan all layed out ill be fine
