What are you prescribed Vs what you buy

[questionsguy]

For those of you in pain what are you prescribed Vs what do you tend to buy and why?

For me I'm prescribed an opioid called meptazin0l and Napr0xen. 

For me they don't do the job and I'm in agony most of the time even with the meds. Not only that I can only take a limited amount and it I'm not careful they will be used up too quickly. I even got told off by the receptionist last time for running out too soon and requesting more a few days before I was due.

I'm looking to get some tap and give that a go to see how my body reacts to that medication. For anybody interested my issue is back pain

I’m prescribed Gabapentin and Voltaren for back pain and lower leg neuropathy.  Take them both as they do help some, but nothing like an opioid.
