I am not an addict in anyway. I simply have been sufferring from severe back pain that goes through my hip and down my leg. I have been to the Dr., but can't afford the MRI needed to find out what the problem is, and do not have any hea;th insurance. I would just like a reliable, safe amount of relief.

Good luck! Are you in Florida? I have the same problem.Severe back pain for years,no insurance,no money hardly. All I can tell you is you better not get caught with any opiate derived pain meds not in your name.Such as Lortab,Lorecet,percocet,fioricet,oxycodone,hydrocodone,oxycontin,codeine or anything related,it's in the same class of drugs as heroin,yes heroin! The penalties are out of this world.A 25 year minimum mandatory sentence in the state prison system for possesing anything over 28 grams and they weigh the whole pill,acetaminophen and all.Over 4 grams up to 28 grams is a 10 year minimum mandatory and 4 grams or less is a 3 year minimum mandatory.Now this is for trafficking,but if you read the statute,possesing it is in the same sentence as trafficking it.It's all looped into one convenient package for the unsuspecting citizen who has to rely on others for pain management. All because we couldn't afford insurance and had to rely on a friend to ease our pain.If you don't have an x-ray showing something then your out of luck.Then again,when you don't have insurance you can't afford to get an x-ray anyway! Don't you love our country? Now if I was an illegal alien or an unwed mother with 5 kids on welfare and food stamps,then i'd be okay.
BTW-I'm no addict either,I ate a half of a 10mg lorcet twice a day as needed at work,just to get through the day. I have a very labor intensive career. I feel for you,I am there with you!! Just can't offer a solution,only can offer what not to do.It sounds like you may have sciatic pain or sciatica.I had that for a couple of years and dealt with it the hard way,grinning and bearing it.It eventually went away.Google sciatica and you can get some info on relieving the pain without drugs.

You would be better to go to another doctor, rather than self treat. Another doctor may not need to be so reliant on an MRI for a diagnosis.
You may want to check your community for a free clinic. A doctor who works in a free clinic may be less reliant on expensive technology or at least more open to empiric treatment to control your symptoms. OR he may know where to get free diagnostic test. I would suggest you check first thing in the morning.

Alternatively, you could let your regular doctor know that you can't afford the MRI. IF he doesn't do something else, then indeed I would switch doctors.

Whatever you do, don't self treat! Not only does it open you up to abuse, it may be the wrong medicine. It could be a pinched nerve. Nerve pain doesn't respond to opiods, you need a different medicine then. OF course, it could also be arthritis, which might be better treated with other medicines still. Speaking of pain medicine, don't take more than 4 grams of Tylenol in a day (12 regular strength, or 8 extra strength) because large amounts can cause severe liver damage.

Hope this helps.

No, you can not buy prescription meds without a prescription anywhere..... especially benzos. Benzos are highly addicitve if you take them all the time and they stop working after awhile then you end up with even worse anxiety that you have now AND an addiction. How about workign with a therapist for the anxiety.... it really helps especially with the intrusive thoughts.

In Mexico you can get almost any prescription you want over the counter with just the name and dosage you want.
