"my pain dr started me on 10mg x 2 per day after a few years on 7.5 hydros 4+x per day. after the 1st week, and some withdrawal symptoms, they give no relief. maybe dr started me too low mg and see him next day. i hope he ups mg to at least 15 and 20 probably will be better. he said he can add the old hydro for breakthrough pain but at this point i feel at least two 7.5mg per day and that&#039;s only 2 less than before. he should go to 20mg 2x per as i have a bad spine from head to tail, facet arthritis, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, deteriorating disk and spinal neuropathy....i&#039;m through...i covered them all!!"
