*wince* It's a good thing you are actually aware of the effects of narcotic pain relievers and motivated to get off of the wagon, esp. with your inability to take NSAIDs. (Are you able to take kids' doses of the liquid stuff? I can tolerate a 60-lb kids' dose if I sip it slowly. Not that it'll kill all the pain, but it takes a bit of the edge off.)
You might be interested in holistic/vitamin therapies for pain/depression. I've been looking into Vitamin D and Omega-3 supplements as emerging treatments for mood disorders and depression. Also, they're turning out to be important to maintaining skeletal integrity with post-WLS shrinkage. FYI and all, YMMV.
Feeling you on the $$ issue - only I'm trying to make mine last until April 7th *ded* I feel like I'm in college again(only with more pantry options than generic mac n cheese, ramen, and stale iced tea bags)!
