- HELP - Now what do I do? 28th May 2004

He ... pain and nothing would releive it other than the Lortab and hot showers.
Well I had been on the Lortab ... I told him I was afraid of getting addicted to the Lortab becuse it was not as effective. He said I could not ... get addicted to the Lortab in the dose I was taking. I never had any withdraw ... from Ultram when I switched to Lortab so I figured it would be the same going back to the ... went back to my family practice doctor and he gave me Lortab to take and I was fine. I finally got a hold of the ... pain management nurse and she said I can not take Lortab any more. I also found out that Ultram is not compatible ... management nurse and she just said no sorry no more Lortab . So then I decided to get a referral for a new pain ... soon as I told this to the ER doctor they gave me Lortab and I was fine! The ER doctor said you can't just ... stop taking Lortab and was upset about my situation. ER doc said if you ... have Lortab and you need it then take and find another pain management ... normally it is 117 over 74. What if I have to take Lortab once a twice a day for my pain for the rest of my...
... doctor mad at you? Why does he not want you on the Lortab ? Is the nurse prescribing for you or is she giving ... went back on Ultram that you no longer needed the Lortab ?
I would think that the question to ask yourself ... is do you really want and need to be on the Lortab for the rest of your life? I am living on Oxycontin ... So I believe you if you say you have to have the Lortab . If that is the case, then you need one doctor who...

... referred you to PM, The PM doc took over prescribing lortab , 4 a day. Then you decided to discontinue your Pain ... with your PM doc you went back to your GP for more Lortab ?
Then when your pain spiked you went to the ER ... and were prescribed more lortab . . Honestly i sounds like you were using 3 differebt ... docs to obtain lortab in the same month for the same problem. That is doctor ... bipassed the PM again and went back to the GP for Lortab . Even using just 2 docs is doc shopping.
You said ... you had lortab at home, what was the point of going to the ER and ... excepting another script for lortab . I understand you are young, your experience with ... hours so you went back to the GP to prescribe more Lortab .
It does look very bad. It basically looks like ... feel like it. If you wanted to try to discontinue lortab , you PM doc should have been the one to work out a ... going on and then when you decided you did want more Lortab you called him back for more pain meds.
You can ... don't like it.
For example, You didn't like the lortab so he prescribed percocet, percocet didn't work for ... matters in your own hands and went back to the GP for lortab . The PM doc has to have control of all aspects of ... opiates.
Turning your decision to stop taking lortab into an emergency that he has to respond to when you ... admit you still have lortab , what was the point of even calling him, to ask if ... you could start taking the lortab again. That's what you were supposed to be doing anyway ... plan.
Then you compounded the mistake by excepting lortab from your GP and then the ER. SO after all that, ... You still want to find a doc that will prescribe Lortab .
PM docs wouldn't consider a patient that wants ... one or two lortab a day in such desperate need they have to prescribe ... then become impatient and go to your GP for more lortab .
Your GP likely called the PM doc after you left ... as the ER doc saying you can't just stop taking 2 lortab a day, That's redicous. Yes you will experience the ... learns you have returned to your GP asking for more lortab , I would expect you to be cut off. CP patients don ... integrety because I imagine in order to recieve your lortab from the pain management doc you went into great detail ... are at a point where you could easily taper off 2 lortab a day. But if you pursue pain management and tell ... around the clock. If you think you were dependent on 2 lortab a day wait untill you have taken OxyContin or MScontin ... if you thought what you went through discontinung 2 lortab a day was severe. That would be nothing compared to ... top of my head. But no doc is going to prescribe 2-4 lortab a day for the rest of your life.
EVeryone would ... feel better after a hard days work if they had lortab to take when they get home., That doesn't mean everyone ... Have you tried anything other than PT , Ultram and Lortab ?
I'm not tryng to be nasty, just trying to make...

October:
My GP prescribed the Lortab -and flexeryl and I was taking it around 4x's a day ... beleive it was more tolerable because I was taking the Lortab and the combination of therapy. By the middle of April ... called my PM to see what could be done. I still had Lortab at home so I took it and when the nurse called me ... that I what happend and I wanted to go back to the Lortab and she got upset and said that was against the doctors ... sick so I went to my GP for that. He prescribed me Lortab and antibiotics because he thought I may have pnuemonia ... doctor when you come in and we can not call out the Lortab because you have Ultram now. I explained that I could ... reasons for my condition. ER doctor prescribed the Lortab for pain and Inderal for High Blood Pressure. He was ... working. I told him I finished out the remainder of my Lortab and I wanted to stay in pain management. He said not ... the Ultram but that I can take the remainder of the Lortab given at ER. He then said he did not really want me ... back on Lortab but he would do injections or surgury. Well I said ... into any procedure if I did not want it. He gave me Lortab and referred me to a nuerologyst and a new PM facility ... and knives. I dont see what is wrong with me taking Lortab as needed. Not all my pain is only at night but it ... after every attempt failed - I ended up taking the Lortab at 5pm today. No one can understand this pain unless ... sometimes and then I am out of luck.
