| Cymbalta any good for pain?? None 05:04:51 |
| | MY neurologist just prescribed Cymbalta for my chronic back and nerve
pain.
I've read that it's mostly an anti-depressant with some scant info on
it's ability to supress neurological pain.
Has anyone here had any experience with this drug?
It's generic name is duloxetine hcl.
I'm reluctant to start it what with all the numerous bad side effects
it could have.(I tend to be hypersensitive to most drugs of late. I've
tried most of the latest drugs for pain, with bad luck in regards to
the side effects etc... Am currently on opiate based pain
meds(percoset, Morphine sulphate) which seem to work most of the
time.)
Both I and my neuro think it's a good idea to try other non-habit
forming drugs so I won't develop over dependence on the addictive
stuff.(been on the opiates for years now.)
My pain is from back injuries and some crush injuries.
(radiculopathies and swelling around the L4-5 as well as 3 vertabrae
in the C region and 2 in my neck. marked abcesses and anular fissures
as well nerve pain in my legs and arms.)
I'd just had another mri done today to determine the best course of
surgery, if any for my spine problems and will be seeing my neuro
again in a couple of weeks on that.
Would be greatful if any here could relate their experience/knowledge
of Cymbalta to me before I possibly make the mistake of dosing on yet
another toxic drug.

| Re: re: problems with windows service pack 2 and drivers(ignore if i Loweyj 22:02:10 |
| | Hi Rainbow,
I have found a fix for this problem.
Do a search on your system for the following file...
CSS-DVP.SYS
Try renaming it to something like CSS-DVP.SY1 or CSS-DVP.OLD
Then reboot your system and see if you still have the same problem.
This worked for me, and after running my system for a while with-out any
problems, I deleted the file from the sys.
Let me know if it worked for you.
BTW, I did have Command Software's Freedom Internet Security on my system
at one time, but did not like it. I deleted it, but it left this old file
behind. It was what was causing the annoying start-up msg, everytime I
booted into XP.
Hope it works for you!
Jim

| morphine vs fentyl patch? Literallypours@Yahoo.Com 16:08:37 |
| | my dr says they'tr the same things but in different forms
I don't agree my morphine is taken every 8 hrs, the patch is every 3
days
what abt an hour for morhine kick in then it strtas faze out after abt
7 hrs (guessing here)
I do know the patch won't supply immediate relief and that often you
may have break through pain and need meds for that
any know of site that might compare the difference
I was 15 mgs 3x, now I'm on 30 mgs 2x and I'm so doped up but 15 mgs
doesn't do it
what do you all think abt morphine and fentyl patch
many thanks

No focal root compression and no extension to foramina
Focal centric disc herniation at L5-S1 with mild impression on both
the adjacent traversing nerver roots. No extension to foramina..
My doctor asked me to take physiotherapy or 10 days..
I do software programming and needs to sit in a chair for the whole
day..
My doubt is whether I can be cured completely from this herniated disc
forever..???
I dont smoke or consume alchohol..
I am totally depressed with this.. can anyone please give ur valauble
suggesions regarding this..
Also do anyone know the nutirents needed for a healthy spine and

| ANY HAD PROBLEMS SWTICHING FROM METHADONE TO FENYTL? Jim 05:44:30 |
| | Hi.
I've been on ever-increasing doses of Methadone for about six years for
chronic back pain.
I was an opiate abuser many years ago, and ended up on a Methadone
Clinic to treat my addiction. Even after all these years, my tolerance
for methadone -- and other opiates -as well is unbeliavable.
When I was on the Meth Clinic I was told and read in the literature
about methadone treatment that the main reasons they use methadone to
treat opiate addiction is because IT BLOCKS THE EFFECTS OF OTHER
NARCOTICS....Or at least it blocks the euphoric effects, and I would
assume it would block the painkilling effects.
I know I'm going to get alot of dissagreement saying that, and that's
OK. I want to hear other people's experience with taking methadone and
other opiates: My last two doctors say it's not true. I've read nothing
in this pain site that says anything about it.
BUT I KNOW IT"S TRUE TO SOME DEGREE BECAUSE WHEN I WAS ON ONLY 50 mg of
METHADONE AT THE CLINIC, I ABUSED EVERYTHING FROM HYDRCODONE TO
DILAUDID -- and I NEVER FELT A THING.
Now, as a pain patients, because of my meth tolerance, I am precribed
400 mg a day -- and can tolerate twice that much -- but I rarely take
more than 200 a day, because I found that 200 doesn't work any better
than 400.
Yesterday, I told my doctor that I REALLY WANTED OFF OF METHADONE OR AT
LEAST A BREAK FROM IT. My opiate recepors are simply saturated with it.
My doc knows of my past.
He decided to swtich me to 200 mcg of Fenytl and 75 mg a day of
Hydrcodone for breatkthrough pain. The doctor said to wean off my 200
mg of methadone over a 3-day period, and to start using the patches at
once, and to change them every other day rather than every 72 hours.
Several things have me worried.
First, Methadone is the longest acting narcotics there is, with a high
life of 36 to 48 hours. It's going to take at least a week before the
Methadone clears my body. I'm worried that I'm going to suffer
withdrawal from methadone blocking the patches before the meth finally
leaves my body and allows the patches and the hydro to kick it.
BTW, The 200 mgc patches are an "equivilant" dose of 200 mg of
Methadone, according the my doctor's opiate conversion chart and
several I've found on the Internet. So, I know that I'm not being given
a LOWER dose of Fenytl, at least.
But I have NO experience with patches. And reading this site, the
patches seem like a hit and a miss -- some people get relief, others
don't. And some are changing theirs everyday!!!
My questions:
1. Has ANYONE who take about 50 mg or less noticed that their other
breakthrough pain killers don't work?
2, Has ANYONE else here every heard that methadone blocks the opiate
receptors? That was notion was DRILLED into our heads while I was on a
methadone clinic.
3. HAS ANYONE SWITCHED FROM METHADONE TO THE PATCH AND A BREAKTHROUG
SUCH AS HYDRO? IF so, what was your experience?
I really, really want to get off methadone because it's not working
anymore, but I fear withdrawal until the stuff gets out of my system
and clears the way for the patch to work.
I'm also worrried that 200 mcg of Fenytl may not be enough medicine for
someone who can tolerate 800 mg Methadone (again, I DON"T TAKE THAT
MUCH. I RARELY EVEN TAKE MY PRECRIBED 400 mg. I stick to 160-200. But
I'm still worried that these patches just arent going to work -- even
though I'm "technically taking the equal dose to methadone"
But as most of us know, what is supposed to happen Technically or
clinically, doesn't always transfer to real life.
I tend to catastrophize everything -- and I very well may be doing it
here.
But I just don't want to suffer withdrawal. It just increases the pain.
I'd rather slap on a third 100 mcg patch for a few days while the my
body is clearing the methadone.
I wouldn'T OD. 300 mcg Fenytl is equal to 400 mg methadone, which like
I said, I tolerate quite easily.
If ANYONE HAS HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THE SUBJECTS I"VE DISCUSSEED --
or if you totally disagree with me and have never found meth to be an
"opiate blocker" to other meds, PLEASE EMAIL ME OR POST A REPLY>
Any comments, concerns, experiences or feedback will be welcome.
You can either email me at Laneinfla@yahoo.com or post a reply to this
message.
Thanx. jim

| TALULA...on your question about ADH Legend 22:05:02 |
| | in a word, (or link),
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.drugs.hard/browse_frm/thread/c02a05e9bb90895c?hl=en&
Where you discuss getting high on Xanax and methadone, speak to another
member about how to get higher doses, and brag about how "innocent" you
look when you go out (what happened to the panic-stricken woman who
needed the medication just to be able to open your own front door) with
your pierced, biker-type friends?
So, I guess Juba was right about the kind of "help"you were asking for?
So, I got a prescription for Xanax 1 mg. yesterday. Would it be better
to take it sublingually, or to snort it?(as you discussed?). LC would
go ballistic if I dared to even suggest that I was using my meds
improperly...but, I guess you figured that out, and knew when to keep
silent.
All these posts of yours were made to the same thread, on March 25th,
this year. And you didn't just decide to post on an open group...your
NYM, TALULA, is there, in nice, bold figures...a service reserved only
for those who have actually oined a group.
They also seemed to know you...which leads me to susppect that you were
there before, under another addy...this group might have been the FIRST
for you to join, but definitely, 14 days later, there you were, on
ADH...something you asked about later, and didn't explain "oh, I get
it" in your responses.
It's strange that I would "out" you...I'm pretty tolerant of people
getting high, and having the right to do what they want to their
bodies...probably more than anyone else here. But I AM NOT TOLERANT OF
LIES, AND PHONY SUICIDE THREATS. Suicde is NOT a romantic, or tragic
thing. It's ugly and leaves people who cared about you wondering what
else they could have done. Obviously, you've been spared the
experience-even though your friends don't sound like the biggest
winners.
I don't want to see you hurting...so, post, don't post, email people,
whatever-just don't LIE-and threatening suicide, that's the
lowest...the absolute lowest.

Ah yes, those "sweet nods" are harder and harder to come by when your

I will explain it you whinny little git...
Fact one. Neither Sue, Codeee nor I have hidden ourselves
using false addies. Sue has changed servers and addies but
has said always informed everyone. We are who we are. We
have no reason to hide behind an anon server like you do.
Secondly, you ARE a sockpuppet. Someone who was once here
using one name, who made such a clown of yourself, you
changed your name to something else hiding behind an anon
server..
Thirdly, neither Codeee, Sue or I are using any elaborate
schemes to hide, while you use the infamous criminal
friendly Databasesix, owned by a CONVICTED CHILD MOLESTOR
who is in the business of hiding flaming miscreants like you
and Ruada.
Fourth, you are the biggest flamming trouble maker here at
present; a dirty, foul, screaming lying little git, who has
whatever comes at them COMING.
DIL, Chris, Nat and Mary all said the same thing you do,
scream-deny all accusations of who they really were with
accompaning NANANANA you cant prove a thing bleating!
But all those people were proved to be sock puppets of Ms
Humphreys just as suspected, because she admitted it along
with being in league with YOU, and YOU being privy to her
fake death.
So the only way you can PROVE you are not Nick Burns, which
is just another sock puppet anyway, so what difference does
it make, is to do a mea culpa admitting you are Jill Short.
I must admit, you do talk like a goil a lot...

| Re:censorship :{ Talula 10:08:59 |
| | Dear Rack Jite,
Hello, I hope you see in what way i felt i was misunderstood,And i
think it really sux that i have to be so cautious about every word i
type but thats just the way it goes i suppose and i can accept that, i
just recently invited 2 lovely ladies to E-mail me (NOT FROR TRADING
DRUGS OR SEELING DRUGS!!!) but to be able to talk and laugh
'uncensored' without being misunderstood,and for those who remember me
saying i do not check my E-mail,and dont bother with it at all, well my
husband and i share our E-Mail cuz i've yet to even set mine up, so
someone that didn't read my post about please dont E-Mail me , did and
it at fisrt freaked me out ,then i finally felt like i just took a
breath of fresh air cuz, now i can SPEAK MY MIND,MY HEART, AND SHARE MY
HUMOR! i have shared soooo much about myself in this group in just the
short time i've been here,just waiting for someone else to be as
equally open and honest, and even though i feel many are being honest i
feel like there holding back so much. Is that because some of you have
your certain friends from here that you E-Mail to, and open up to them
in private? cuz i just wanted ALL OF YOU to get to know me, the
good,bad,and ugly. like this: i know trading is a felony cuz i have 2
felonies and a misdemeanor, all from one night. And getting arrested
that night saved my life, Although i'm looking into getting my civil
rights back since it was a one time offense and haven't broken the law
since( not anything big,or caught for).I just want the right to bear
arms and go to the shooting range with my sweety, all of his are legal
but i can't touch them,sux! Anyway thanx for the warnings, they were
appreciated but i must have mis spoken or was misunderstood. I hope all
is well, take care, and i wish you a pain free night or at least a
moment . Whatever you can manage.--TALULA
