I was like you. At first I just took them as needed. Now, I take almost the maximum. I try not to end up short because the withdrawal is worse than the pain I have to swap them for. I do order my drugs two days before I should because, its ok to get them a day or two early. I usually have a dozen or so extra. I set my re-order dates on my computer calendar when I get them so I don't forget. I will have a social drink but it makes things worse if I actually use it to fill in for oxys. I can get oxy's on the street, also. Sleep is a great pain killer and I can take tylenol pm's some nights. Befor doing the bowel regime, I will try to avoid the narcotic meds and smoke a bud to go to sleep with tylenols.

Taking a few more than I should. Anyone else? It's tough to go those 2,3 maybe 4 days without any! It was so much easier when I numbed (barely) with alcohol :-) Dianna
