    When I ended up in the hospital in 16 the nurses wouldn't give me what was prescribed, said they were not going to be the ones to kill me. I've been on 72 MG of dilotta a day along with 90 MG of methadone and 5 MG of Xanax for three years because of the nephropathy and most of the time it's not enough. I've got five broken disks from falling off a roof that have fused I think. Then with this infection in my spine it ate up four more disks. I came out of the hospital four inches shorter then I went in. I assume they are also fusing themselves together. I'm missing 7 disks all together, not suppose to do much, wasn't suppose to live once the virus got in my brain. It sucks getting out. And not having xanax is really going to suck I have a lot of anxiety with these pills because I'm definitely strung out, no way I could just stop, the withdrawal would probably kill me.
    Man I feel for ya, wish there was something I could do to help.
    This is your mind on drugs!

    My issues are minor compared to yours, no question there, I've just got to navigate the VA socialist health care system and learn how to do it better....

    CBD oil is said to help with anxiety and pain & lots of guys with PTSD use it. I tried it and at a low dosage of 40mg really made things worse, don't know if it was the brand (a pure non THC CBD) or what, but woza it really spooled me up like there was no tomorrow and as soon as I stopped it 4-5 days later was back to baseline....

    I know people who take 1500mg a day (think that's the correct dosage) or morning and night & say its gotten them off all painkillers Xanax an such.

    All I know is for whatever reason, it backfired on me.....but I'm strange....
