i’m no longer on oxycodone but i’ve taken it in the past. i’m now on a fentanyl patch that we change every 48 hours & have another narcotic for pain that becomes intolerable. i think it is important to remember that these pain meds are not meant to take away your pain completely. they are just suppose to make it manageable. when I think about it that way, it helps me navigate taking these meds (especially narcotics) a lot easier. ✨I✨ personally always stick to only taking pain meds (minus the fentanyl patch i am on 24/7 because otherwise my body goes into literal shock due to the intense pain i experience every day thanks to a neurological condition i developed from a birth control) when my pain is so bad i cannot sit still, i cannot sleep… THOSE are the times i use my pill form of narcotic. and that is because i know that i’m playing the long game. i want to not be addicted now & stay that way for the rest of my life and addiction runs HEAVILY in my family… does that make sense.
