Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

PURPLE, ALLAN,

THE NEXT TIME I GO AND SEE MY CIVILIAN PSYCHIATRIST AND SOCIAL WORKER, I'M GOING TO ASK THAT QUESTION. I TAKE ALL THESE MEDS FOR PAIN SUCH AS OXYCODONE, TOPAMAX, NAPROXEN AND SEROQUEL, KLONOPIN, TRAZADONE AND ZOLOFT FOR MENTAL HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO FUNCTION. LAST BUT NOT LEAST PURPLE I HAVEN'T WORKED SINCE 2005 SINCE THE VA GAVE ME MY 100 % IU P&T. I'M TRYING TO GET MY SOCIAL SECURITY NOW.

Good Luck and you should get SSD also

In the SS second denial of my claim, they stated that the meds I was taking should control the pain enough so I could work. I was taking Gabapentin 300-2700 mg a day, hydrocodone for breakthrough pain and methadone 20mg twice a day. We finally won at the alj level. I also had 3 independent doctor statements. good luck
