"^ Btw, I'd imagine the percocet you have contains 5mg of Oxycodone and around 325mg of Tylenol. Or is it really a 3mg percocet with 525mg of tylenol? That's very odd. The small number is the opiate, so maybe.. Dilaudid is serious. If you're taking a 5mg percocet once a day that's very, very little, so a 3mg percocet is next to nothing if taken daily. Of course, you don't need an extreme opiate dependence so it's a double edged sword. The tramadol is sort of opiate like but less potent. Vicodin, which is hydrocodone, is less potent than oxycodone. "

The Percocet I am taking has 3 mg of the oxycodone and 525 mg of tylenol. that's how it is written on the medicine bottle. The dilaudid is very serious stuff. I had to go to the ER due to my amt of pain just about 2 months ago & they injected that into me along with another painkiller, but I cannot remember the name. They also gave me dilaudid in pill form. The tramadol is pretty potent, in my opinion, but now it hardly does anything for me I feel like! Perocet honestly works the best for me

probably a typo involving a switch of the 3 and 5--you likely have 5/325.

They don't make a 3/525.

LOL. You are probably right!

Have you really tried that many pain killers and never tried marijuana?

I've never suffered from that much pain but if I had gone through the list like that I don't think I would have any problem what so ever being viewed as a "stoner / pot smoker". Hell I dont even think any MD would even have a problem with it.

Good luck. Sorry to hear about your condition.

Oh, I've tried marijuana for recreational purposes several times, but never liked it much. Never tried it for killing pain though.

Thanks, I am tryin to be positive!

I honestly don't even know if it would help but seems like you're willing to try things.

Good to hear. Mental strength is more important then anyone will ever admit.

Haha, yea I've heard people say that they think smoking weed would help, but I just don't know bout that!

And yea, being mentally strong is what will get me through these tough times. Physical therapy seems to be helping a lot thus far.

Try it and find out--at worst it doesn't help and then you know.

10/3/2008 6:00:30 PM

Very true. We'll see!
