Hey Wes,
Yes I did start about 3 weeks ago. Terrible side effects at first. Its getting better. I still have to take marinol and all. I don't have to take dilaudid anymore for BT pain still useing Oxy IR 20mgs upto 4times a day. Still at 70 mgs methadone. Oh well. At least the sides aren't getting worse only better. I just took my 4th shot week 4 now. And I'm starting to feel tired and sick need to go thanks for asking...

Matt

Hey Autumn,

Hey ole pal ole friend of mine. today is beter. I took my 4th shot thursday night so for the most part I'm over the side effects. Back to reg meds. I think about you everyday and keep missing you online so that we can chat and catch up. I miss you and love ya tons. My deppression is alot better. Doc raised my wellbuttrin from 150mg a day to 300mgs a day. And he also switched me to focalin. instead of adderall. It is sposed to be like a refined form of ritalin. Only better than ritalin and it has helped tremendously. My pain level is better. Still just using the Oxy IR for BT pain. I still have a bunch of dilaudid if it gets worse.
enough about me how are you doing and all. Hows your daughter dealin w/the break up. Let her know that I'm pulling for her. Chars says hi as well. Hows your pain level doing. have considered going back on the long acting meds. Maybe we need to talk about it some more. Anyhow I do miss ya and love ya.

And WES thanks for your concern. Its nice knowing that there is someone on this board that knows exactly what I'm going thru. I hope all is well w/you. If I can help at all please let me know.

Take care all.......

Matt
