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.

I don't see you being able to work with that combination of medication.

Good Luck and you should get SSD also

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

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
