Abuse of Opioids takes away from all the good it can do

I’m 70 and like you I was taking oxycodone 5/325 for well over 15 years always needing to watch my acetaminophen intake. Then I became allergic to NSAID drugs. I switched to morphine first which in 2005 was a recommended next step I believe. I’m now on buprenorphine patch every 7 days and only use oxycodone once or twice a week plus MMJ. Ask your integrative pain specialist about it, it might save your liver.

Yeah… I take tons of Tylenol to supplement my pain pump. I have to write the dose/time down so I don’t damage my liver. That was not a worry with opioids. I know opioids are dangerous for some, but for many, they equal a decent quality of life. (Can’t take any NSAIDS due to a GI bleed from advil. I was lucky I lived.)
