Thanks for your reply "Vitamin"
I don’t mind posting in public, in the possibility that it may help others as well.
The issues I have been having are more along the lines of long term "chronic" use of this stuff. The dosage of Hydromorphone keeps going up. I started with 2 mg. and now I take anywhere from 12 mg's up to 30 mg's, depending on the headaches and neck pain. I understand the concept of becoming immune to the stuff, but what are the side effects of using that much of it, for such a long period of time?
Will it eventually do damage to anything internally? Would it be beneficial to switch periodically to some other pain killer? My doctor says "
as far as he knows" there is no problems with long term use, other than the withdrawing procedure. I know that will have to be done in a hospital / clinic type setting and monitored very closely. (ain't looking forward to that!) That’s if they figure out how to get rid of the pain.....
Will appreciate any light you may put on the subject
