Members shared their experiences with pain management combinations, with several confirming they have been prescribed both medications simultaneously, though many noted that recent laws and regulations have made such combinations harder to obtain. Several members described their own pain management approaches, including using extended-release medications alongside short-acting breakthrough options, switching to alternatives like methadone or CBD oil, and the challenge of finding adequate relief without becoming dependent on opioids. A recurring theme was frustration with changing regulations that limit access to effective pain control, the difficulty of managing chronic pain within current prescribing restrictions, and the exhausting cycle of trying to stay ahead of breakthrough pain.

Usually they will give you a long lasting form of pain medicine and a quick acting pain med for peak pain. It’s all about dosage but diluadid is stronger than oxycodone. There used to be a long lasting dilaudid med called Opana. The manufacturer had problems and they quit making it. Personally I believe that methadone is the best long term pain med and hydromorphone(dilaudid) worked best for me as a peak pain medicine. The methadone keeps you from riding the pain roller coaster. The pain roller coaster is when your pain med doesn’t last long and you’re always trying to get control of your pain.

I use prescribed dilaudid (Hydromorphone) 2 x day plus breakthrough up to 3 times a day. If I think the hydromorphone breakthrough 5 mg will be too much I take t1s over the counter. I confirmed this is ok with both my dr and my pharmacist.
