Pain meds and baclofen, seriously, help?

Hi COS and also IYLL, Ne and Ginger its good to "see" you all again.

I havent read back COS but is this an injury which is causing your pain, not that it matters I am just being nosey. anyway sorry your suffering so much, I havent go any advice I can give you tho but I am very interested in all pain relief as it is something I am struggling with myself.

About this white grape juice IYLL do you mean the stuff they sell in supermarkets? and if I take tramadol or cocodalmol with it would it make it work better do you think it would be worth a go. My problem is that if I take enough pain meds to stop my pain I get awful headaches from it, so I am trying to balance it to get some relief but not the headaches but so far I am not being very sucessful. I do however get some temporary relief using heat and cold but thats not practical if you have anything to do apart from lying on the couch watching tv.

Fuck!!! This is just one very good example of why nobody should ever take any notice of anything any random person says on a forum. They are very unlikely to be experts and certainly not capable or qualified to give advice. Bebe, I meant white grapefruit juice. Grapefruit reduces the way a lot of drugs breakdown (metabolise) and increases their bioavailability. The result can often be an overdose. In the case of SSRIs you can greatly increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Yes, you may be able to increase the effectiveness of opioids (or semi-synthetic opioids such as Tramadol) but not in a way that is readily controllable. I would really, really recommend you tried taking DL-Phenylalanine to improve and lengthen teh effectiveness of those drugs. It's available in Holland and Barrett (you can find it in the amino section, which is usually amongst all the 'weight gain' and 'drink this shit and you will become a muscled-up chick-magnet' type products).

Again, to anyone reading this: I may not know what the fuck I am talking about and bear in mind I may just be a psycopath who gets his kicks from encouraging people to overdose on toxic substances. Seriously! There are a bunch of weird mofos on the 'net and even a few on this forum. Be careful what you believe!!!! Do your own research. Alternatively, PM me and I'll try and help you as best I can without giving out general 'advice' to the whole world, which I am really not qualified to give.

Hey space. Yes some back issues. White graprefruit has been used for a long time for that (potentiation).

Be careful as life says. I am titrating down on my baclofen right now so we shall see.

Thanks

I do know about the grapefruit thing with tramadol, in fact it says on the leaflet to avoid it but I didnt know it had any effect on ssri's.

Please let us know how you get on COS
