i got meds from my doctor

[strawberryshark]

i have fibromyalgia. i used to take vicodin 3x/day. i was also prescribed oxy 2x/day. that didn't work, so i didn't take it. since the statute of limitations is up, i can say that i sold them to a co-worker. he paid good money and bought jimmy choo stilettos and other designer shoes. that eased the pain of depression for a while.

the vicodin helped, though. but now, i live back in pennsylvania again. the drug laws here are so draconian. so my fibro has been untreated for years. i've been to tons of doctors are tried everything: special stretches, a tens unit, even pot gummies. i've never liked pot at all, but i was desperate. it didn't alleviate my pain. it tasted like freshly cut grass and gave me munchies within 15 minutes. so i gave them away.

i have a pcp that kind of helps me. every few months, when i have a really bad flare-up, my pcp will give me a few days of vicodin to help me through. i got some yesterday. but it's only three days worth.

i wish it was more so it could actually *do* something for me. you know, ctb. which, until i found this website, always thought meant "cross the bridge." i always equated it with the raidbow bridge that pets cross. that made me feel a little bit better with the idea of ending it. i figured i'd join my past furbabies that i miss so much.

tl;dr: got some vicodin. not enough to make a difference. just needed to vent about it.

Oxy is stronger than hydrocodone in Vicodin, you could have collected a bit but I understand you probably didn't have any serious plans back then.
Sorry you have to go through this, I know a few people with fibromyalgia and the pain you guys report sounds unbearable.
And cross the bridge sounds cute, might as well adopt this version. Not everyone relies on public transport.

I don't know your exact situation, but life on opiates can be pretty good, especially if you get them prescribed. You wont have to worry about supply, driving/ DUI etc.
