I've always been very careful with the opiates, 'cause frankly they scare me to death. I could look this up, but I'll ask it anyway...is pot an opiate? Over the years I've had oxy, morphine, vicodin, etc.etc.etc., all of which I handled very well except vicodin. I abused them fairly hard for almost two years...and looking back, I'm extremely pissed I did it for a few reasons. I am a stay-at-home father for our daughter (and one coming), which was likely going to happen regardless, but w/ my pain there wasn't a choice involved. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE IT (most of the time! ), but those 'abusive' years took place the first two years of my daughters life. I remember very little of those two years...which yeah, I don't remember some of the 'firsts' which sucks, but what pisses me off is how intentionally/unintentionally (depends how you look at it I suppose) put my daughter in danger by taking as many as I wanted. That pretty much scared me straight...so all of these extras I have aren't even a temptation.

The neurontin was is something I've been on for awhile. I didn't realize how much they helped until my doc tried to lower my dosage. I hate how they make me so drowsy, so to 'combat' that I am also a caffeine addict like you wouldn't believe. :dance:

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. Ya know, I don't know if this correlation is warranted or not, but this site being full of potheads is one of the nicest boards I've ever been involved in!
