I was just wondering how much medicine
other people might take for back pain.
Right now, my dr has me on: darvocet
100mg, ibuprofen 800mg, ultram 100mg-- all
of these up to 4 times a day. Also,
neurontin 100mg 2x a day and also
prescription sleeping pills to help me
sleep. Every time I have a drs appt, it
seems like he adds a new pill and I cant
take that many of these pills because 1-2
and I am just groggy and sleepy all the
time (obviously). I was just wondering if
this might be too many pills.

I would say you are , if your feeling
groggy and tired all the time that would
not be a ggod thing, I have back problems
due to a mva, even though im in extreme
pain, I dont believe in taking all that
medication, I feel your only adding to a
problem being on all that meds for a long
period of time is not good for your liver
stomach, etc, try something different,
tens unit helps with the pain, I also
take, herbs devils claw , st johns wart,
try homeopathic remedies, if you feel you
are being prescribed so many meds talk to
your Dr.
