They may work for pain but I couldn’t tell any difference. In order for pain meds to actually work for me I would need to be off the Sub for over a month or more. What ended up happening (again) was taking too many just so I could feel them. Then the guilt comes back and I give up right away and go back on my Sub. My wife said she can tell my personality difference when taking the Lortabs vs the Sub and is pleased that I’m back to my old self.

So here is my plan. Stay on Sub until I need more pain meds for whatever pain I’ll be facing in the future. I do have an appt. with a Pain Clinic next week but I will call them today to make sure they can dispense Sub. If not, then I’ll cancel the appointment and go see my Sub doc for more. I have about a weeks supply left. My Sub Dr. told me to stop the Sub and go to the pain clinic and stick with pain pills until my cancer treatment is over. I will do that only if they give me strong enough meds to do some good. 10mg Lortabs are nothing. All they do is keep me out of w/d. And if I can get a time relief something I won’t/can’t abuse it. Yes I know you can abuse it but I won’t. It’s different when you have a jar of 50 pretty blue pills staring at you.

My question is; just how long does one have to be off Sub for the lightweight stuff to work?(Hydro) My guess is two months minimum. Just a guess.

I am facing Radiation Therapy and have researched and found that there is a lot of pain. Normally, morphine, fentynal, or Oxy’s are prescribed. Hopefully I won’t need those because I am getting a low dose version. My pain was having the cancer surgically removed. Others take the full rads to shrink the tumors. So now I’ve paid my dues and the rest should be easier. We’ll see very soon. I start in 5 weeks.

Bottom line. I was not able to put aside my addictive behavior for more than a week. The brain wants that warm fuzzy feeling and even taking 5 at a time, couldn’t get it. Back on my beloved Sub. I do feel so much better on it and my addictive brain goes back into remission.
