Medication for chronic pain

[unluckysadness]

I can't handle chronic pain anymore. It's killing me day after day, but unfortunately I'm still here.
I'm less suicidal when I feel less pain so I'd like to try some drugs. My former doctor gave me Fentanyl but I had side effects.
May I ask you what medication are you taking if you struggle with chronic pain ? And does it help you ? Side effects ?
My disease is called cervical dystonia but I feel pain in all my body and now. And muscular spasms are awful. It's like torture. Now I have a new problem with my jaw. If things don't improve, I may CTB sooner than expected. I'm completely lost.

Thanks. In a perfect world, I'd like to escape from my body without dying but of course it's not possible. That's why most people are suicidal.
I will never understand how we can send robots to Mars and all this amazing technology but we are not able to find therapies for sick people...

Because huge pharmaceutical companies make money off of our misery. I really feel your pain. I also suffer from chronic osteoarthritis and tendonosis hence why I am on this site too.

I've been in this place too, the place where you would try ANYTHING to ease the pain, but I haven't find any solutions.

I've tried some opioids but they are not suitable for headaches. But even if they work for you, you will have the problem of tolerance as years pass by.

The only thing I've found I get relief from, is Ketamine, but I don't think it's a solution in the long term. At the end of the day it's anesthesia and you get drowsy, so is not you are going to be able to work all day and function like a normal person. But at least it brings some relief while staying at home.

When I get some, I tend to abuse it to get high tho, so everything ends in some weeks of happyness, and when the bag is over, back to the hole of pain and saving money for the next xD.

If you manage to take very little amounts (to ease the pain u need a small dose) maybe it could work for you...but keep in mind that the same as opioids, you will develop tolerance.
