Dr. Lowering My Dose Of Oxycodone And Morphine Er (Top voted first)

Updated

Dr is doing this after 6 years of oxycodone and 3 yrs of morphine er. Not sure why she is doing to me. I even offered to bring my meds in for med count. What should I expect with her doing this? I'm scared that Dr is doing this. When I've been chronic pain patient for long time. Before she believed I was in lot of pain. I hurt my kidneys n liver for taking up to 30 over counter pain reliever just to function at work

Hello, Nick! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having.

How much is she lowering them and what were your normal dosages?

The DEA has issued a new directive telling doctors that, unless someone has a possibly fatal illness such as stage 4 cancer, they should not be prescribed more than the equivalent of 120mgs of Morphine per day, some states have lowered this further to no more than the equivalent of 100mgs of Morphine per day. Thus, your doctor may not have a choice in the matter.

The FDA classifies these medications as narcotic analgesics, so they carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.
