That is just horrible. I am so sorry to hear you hurt yourself.

I don't know the answer but my suggestion would be to ask Dr. Eskapa on his site. You might get the best information this way.

Good luck to you and a speedy recovery!

WTE - what happened?

So sorry to hear about you getting injured!

I don't know if you have a problem with ibuprofen, but it works better fro me than aspirin, and I've had no touble with it while on Naltrexone. I'm sure you're hoping for some REAL pain medication, but I have no idea what would be safe. Hope you find some relief, and that you recover quickly.

Oh my goodness - that's horrible WTE! So sorry to hear this.

I just copied your post in the Questions for Dr. Eskapa section - hope that was ok, I can't imagine you feel like typing much right now.

Wish we could send you a voice activitated keyboard or something, I was wondering why you weren't posting much the last few days.

Take care,

A local doctor won't prescribe Darvocet, because he says all it consists of is the equivalent of one regular strength Ibuprofen, and two regular strength Tylenol pills. I've tried this combination on a number of occasions, and it has worked extremely well.

Good luck!

I thought someone here had medical problems and went off of the Naltrexone in order to have surgery or something. Think if you can stop the Naltrexone, get it out of your system, you can take pain meds. I would call a pharmacy and why not call an ER annomymously?

LaBear - your idea to call a pharmacy is an excellent one. We have several pharmacists in the family, and I have a good friend who is one. Without exception, they are caring, compassionate people who will gladly offer their expertise - and they understand that not all doctors are totally understanding of a patient's concerns, or willing to go the extra mile to help. In fact, many doctors knowledge of pharmaceuticals is limited to what the pharmaceutical reps tell them, whereas a pharmacist has a much deeper comprehension of these matters.

G4M is very correct, most doctors more often then not do not have a clue as to what they prescribe, we have a son and daughter who are pharmacist and you would not believe how many time they must call a doctors office back. To tell the doctor that they have made a mistake and have to change the prescription. Scary as to how many times that happens.

Yes, when I am in doubt I usually call the pharmacy! They always give you the best advise on these things.
