Have Any Of Y’all Stopped Taking Pain Meds And Prescription Meds? If So, What Was Your Reason?

I gave them up years ago because my husband was an addict in denial. If I wasn’t getting prescriptions he wasn’t taking mine. I realized it’s probably the best thing I can do right now. I’ve got other things that could use my attention like getting healthy with my relationship with God and in turn I have a peace through this. It works for me and it’s helped me to settle up some areas that needed attention. I know one day I will have no other choice but I’m more in control now.

I was getting night sweats and constipation all the time and got fed up of not sleeping. Didnt find it helped much with the pain anyways. Now im on THC CBD. Xx

Great question Betsy.

I'm totally off pain medications too. I got tired of getting constipated from the pain meds. Why should I take any medicine and then need one or more prescriptions to deal with the side effects from the first medication?

I was taking dissolvable cocodamol as cant swallow tablets. I stopped taking mine as they was making me feel weird and had to be aware as have a puppy to take care of but also a carer for my dad.

I am allergic to pain meds. I take Tylenol arthritis on real bad days. CBD everyday. I use reflexology, acupuncture, and now laser. They all take the edge off. But yes pain 24/7

I stopped all medications because of debilitating side effects. I have researched techniques like pain science, mindfulness, breathing, cold showers etc to help with my pain. I had help from a pain clinic to support through this process.
