The two chemicals are <i>almost</i> identical, but individual responses aren't. I have a friend who would be demographically and physically almost identical to me, but he reacts badly to hydrocodone, and finds oxycodone to be quite effective.pygalgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423302866723206260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3470097808236648178.post-57229975507143499482009-07-02T18:50:20.177-07:002009-07-02T18:50:20.177-07:00H in NV, your case is exactly why we need to chang...H in NV, your case is exactly why we need to change health care. My complaint was that the pharmaceutical lobby has pushed the combination medication into being the standard treatment, rather than having the best for the individual patient. But each different patient has different needs. In my case, I'm a former heroin addict, so while I needed a very high dose in the short term, I don't need pain meds in the long term. The problem was that I couldn't take enough hydrocodone to effectively relieve the pain without nearing a toxic dose of acetaminephon. And alcohol (as much as I love beer) really isn't a very good pain med.<br />It's somewhat funny that the opiates, even with their problems, are actually safer than the drug you can buy OTC.pygalgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423302866723206260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3470097808236648178.post-82238589977284962742009-07-02T09:28:35.267-07:002009-07-02T09:28:35.267-07:00They deliberately put the acetominophen in in orde...They deliberately put the acetominophen in in order to make the opiate medications more toxic, so they will be less likely to be abused.Mike Goldmanhttp://cannablog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
