I usually post in the Personality Disorder section, but this is about pain.
I have chronic pain of multiple types and in various places. I've been using Tylenol #3 for pain for several years. I don't think that I'm addicted. I have never needed more than prescribed for and most often don't use the 60 tabs that I get a month.
My new GP wants me off it, but she doesn't seem able to find me a replacement. She mentioned Amytriptyline, but then felt that it interacted too much with my Mirtazepine.
I just don't know what to do. How can I find a pain medication that will give me relief and not mess up my psych meds. I'm just so frustrated. This has been going on for a month now. My psychologist suggested getting referred to our Chronic Pain Clinic, but that will take months & months. I need help now and to get me through until then.
What can I do?
