[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1252075, member: 17713"] I personally would agree with GP for steering clear of some meds that could be seen as helpful for pain. I ended up on diazepam (shouldn't really be prescribed for longer than 7 days) for 5 months and also morphine patches. Not for neuropathy though. They did not get rid of my pain and made my mental health really deterioate and wasn't an easy time getting off the drugs and patches. They were also blamed for my increased stomach/colon/bowel problems. Tablets meant to be able to help opiate paralysis in colon did not help at all. My colon was already bad prior to the other drugs but whether they made it worse?- probably. I feel for you as I know how seriously bad pain feels. However, I also know how bad the other increased damage from stronger drugs can be. Some drugs (if you drive) have to be notified to dvla. Driving can be restricted. My GP referred me to a pain management consultant. He offered me other options. I've been on pain management courses and through these I have gained better management of the pain. I also got offered different choice to drugs but that option isn't a choice for neuropathy. If your GP can send you to pain management courses there are other options to take and worth the time and effort to go. [/QUOTE]
