Default please clarify

seantheman21-
I think first you need to keep to one post- it makes replying much easier. Second: you are taking soma/klonopin/aderall/ and you are afraid of percocets? If the dr. wrote the script "prn" pain- that means AS NEEDED. if you take your medication AS NEEDED and NOT as "wanted"- you should be ok.
However, I do not know anything about these other medications- only the pain med. When the pain gets too much try an OTC pain med first maybe? Has the same dr. prescribed all these medications?
Good luck- hope the surgery works for you-h8

Hi seantheman21
Im going to have to go along with h8...I think you will be ok untill your surgery if you take your pain pills as needed...
I wanted to tell you one more thing tho..you had another post somewhere about your sex drive. ..I just wanted you to know it is probley from taking klonopin and percocets ...that would be enough to kill it...
Dont worry tho, it will come back when you stop you pills...
Talk to you later, Melinda

Hi h8
It sure is nice to see you around...
