There are non-opioid choices. Pick one. The opioids will ultimately kill you.
Ziconotide is a fine choice. It works better too. The only downside is that you can't take it in pill form.

That drug can't even be given by IV or IM, can it? I'm a candidate for the intrathecal pain pump, which looks to be the only way the drug you mentioned can be administered. But most doctors have suggested I wait for some clear answers before hooking a drug pump directly up to my spinal cord.
Thanks for mentioning this drug though. I'll ask my pain mgmt doctor about it.
