In my experience with pain meds, all people tend to build up an immunity to this class of drugs. Don't misunderstand, they will get to be toxic at certain levels. Never take more than your DR. prescribes. I personally think that you are better off enduring some pain as long as you don't suffer autonomic dysreflexia.My doctor will give me oxycodontin if I need it, but I hate to take it. I do take 3 pills a day beside my morning vitamins. That makes 2 vitamins and 5mg Valium and 5mg vicodin and a 3mg melatonin before bedtime. I guess that's my addiction. Addiction is another reason I hate pain meds. At one point a few years ago I was taking 40 mgs per day of Oxycodone. Nowadays I have severe arthritis, but I do like to get into an intelligent conversation, so I keep the drugs away as much as I can. Best Wishes, John s.

I keep trying to stay on the list but my computer e-mails bounce so now I will try again and maybe post from my phone. I am interested in this subject of how many pills you fellow quads are taking especially pain meds. I have been noticing that my meds do not work as well as they used to and my Dr. says that happens in 1 and 5 people but does that happen for any of you? If don't mind me asking what you currently taking and if they work for you?? Meredith
