The Magic Mouth wash seems to only help "a little" (at $100.29) and the pharmacist where we got it made a point of saying that my son should not take it more than every 4 hours because of all the other meds he is on. I'm planning to go over to my son's house today and he has asked me to bring my supply of Hydrocodone which I had left over from some back pain I had last summer and I really don't want to do this. He gets depressed a lot and does have a lot to deal with (no health insurance, no job, divorce) and sometimes I don't know what to do or how little or how much I should help. I try to help him have some control over his life and I don't want to be an enabler or do something that will make things worse. He does have a therapist but I don't know how much that is helping. Does anyone have any ideas? Do you think that since he is on a break from the radiation, and with the MM prescription that the pain will lessen? Thanks for any ideas you can give me.
