Just wondering if they make a 30 mg roxicodone (oxycodone) hydrochloride that is peach in color? Not extended release or anything like that. I've searched every site and can't find anything about them, but didn't know if I overlooked something. Thanks in advance.

Just because someone is prescribed 30 mg of oxy every 2 3 hrs does not mean that they are a druggie.. It sounds like the Dr. Does not know what he or she is doing.. If the patients tolerance has gone up they should put the patient on oxycotin.. 60 mg every 8 to 12 hrs for pain.. Something time released.. And then put here on 2 to 3 30 mg of instant released oxycodone every 6 to 8 hrs.. It seems to me that you need to find a new Dr.. Taking 30 mg of oxy IR EVERY 2 TO 3 HRS IS WAY TO MUCH!!! NO THIS IS NOT A NORMAL DOSAGE.. FOR YOU IM SURE THAT YOUR TOLERANCE HAS GONE UP BUT HAVING YOU TAKE THEM EVERY 2 TO 3 HRS IS TO MUCH.. ASK YOUR DR.. ABOUT SOMETHING TIME RELEASED LIKE OXYCOTINE AND THEN ASK HER ABOUT LOWERING YOUR DOSAGE. OF THE OXY IR MAYBE 30 TO 15 MG EVERY 6 TO 8 HRS..

I am on 30mg roxys for torn nerves in my cervical spine with cervical fusion and havent been able to work since 2008. I take them as prescribed 6 times daily and have a little function ability now due to the meds but the pain is still high. You cant get rid of all pain due to nerves unless they are dead or nerve blocks. I hope you do not take the chance of selling anything, it will just lead to trouble and I hope they will help your loved one find some relief. Good luck.

My 32 yr old son was prescribed 30 mg oxycodone after not taking anything but OTC meds for over a year for his spinal stenosis and degenerative spinal disease. His instructions were 1-2 tablets every 6 hrs as needed for pain. He picked the pills up at the pharmacy on a Wednesday evening, and we found him dead on Sunday afternoon. Only 16 pills were gone from the bottle. It appears as though he was taking them as prescribed.

Your meds dont work because you have developed opiate induced hyperalgesia look it up. Your medicine is perpetuating your pain. Methadone is arguably the most addictive opiate invented and the hardest on the body. Get off of it ASAP anything would be better.Man up and fight the pain with physical therapy, nutrition, acupuncture, chiro whatever popping pills does nothing to fix your pain. I've had two spinal fusion's,addiction, suicide attempts been thru f***ing hell and trust me none of you will get better as long as opiates run your life.

This is disgusting. Someone is given a large quantity of Oxycodone for pain and what appears to be druggies are crawling out of the woodwork offering to buy, even travel to purchase some of their supply. It makes me sick if these are in fact druggies who will pay upwards of $25+ per and either take them themselves or sell them for profit. Do you realize this is illegal! If ANY of you do not need medication such as this, I hope you get caught. The FDA is clamping down HARD to prevent the very thing you all are doing.

If you indeed ARE in need of pain meds for chronic pain, the only place you will be able to get meds like this for an extended period is through a pain management specialist.

I realize this is a very old thread, so I get to vent. I suffer from unbelievable pain and take Percocet and Methadone. But I need to discuss with my doc that my tolerance does not allow the meds to work as they did when I first started taking them.

270 30mg Oxy's is a LOT! You must be in excruciating pain! Feel better and don't listen to anyone wanting to buy your meds. YOU could go to prison for drug trafficking!

It is not common, but if you are tolerant to Oxycodone and have been using it for a long time, then it is no necessarily dangerous, either.

Many doctors will try this when their patient has build up a tolerance to their current dose and dosing schedule. Especially if alternative medications don't work.
