So, my pain meds are not working very well and the back pain is reaching an unprecedented level. I feel sick, headachy and tired all the time. Worst part: I can't sit through a day of class and concentrating on reading/studying is a no go. Bleh. I'm going to talk to my doctor about it tomorrow, and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with muscle relaxants/chronic pain relief and could recommend medications to ask about? I mean, apart from getting really drunk, which does help with the pain but not feeling tired and crappy the next day ^_-
Ibuprofen: 800 mg several times a day and does not even cut the pain x_x
Percocet: basically just makes me tired. It only works in combination with cyclobenzaprine and when I combine those two I can't keep my eyes open
Cyclobenzaprine: my nighttime muscle relaxant. It does help me stay asleep, but not get to sleep. It also helps me lower the base level of pain, but it makes me so tired the next day it's almost not worth it.
