Easiest Way To Remove New Oxycontin 80 Op Coating (Page 12)
(Newest replies first)

Hey! In all the other threads about the new oxy's -- everyone is stressing the new coatings, it seems. I have found the easiest and most efficient way to get BOTH coatings off is {edited for safety reasons}. Thought y'all would like to know that.

REPORT

Look beyond those who are here complaining of not getting high as I am a paraplegic for 18 years and use these to great benefit. So, before you tell me what I should or should not do, look in the mirror. The biggest problem Perdu has are all those going to heroin or some other drug that will kill them. Ultimately Purdu will bring these back as their balance sheets show a drop in sales. They dont care who is taking or how they are using if nobody brings up another history breaking lawsuit - or we'd still be where we were a year ago. $600 million is a lot to pay out but not as much as they will loose with this new formula. Take my word, private or not Wall Street will change their ideas. It was short lived and a nice attempt to appease those who lost loved ones due to OD's but perhaps the parents should have been clued in.I want parents to stand up and say I know my child is drug free with confidence every day. Know their friends, where they hang out, what they are doing, their interest, EVERYTHING about your child!

I got a rare disease called rat lung worm a parasite that enters your nervous system through your spinal fluid the nerve damage i have from it it makes my skin feels like its on fire that's the nerve damage and my legs got so f****ed up (paralyzed) i couldn't walk for month in the hospital (3 months) but now i walk a little better but i cant stand for long, most people that get it ether commits suicide from the pain or go into a coma and die, really sucks!! and they put me on oxy. along with the break through meds. and the oxy's helped alot to help me walk to the bathroom and around the house i have alot more symptoms it took my right eye and disabled it i had 5 different operation that year, I've had it for 3.5 years and was slowly recovering . Without the drug my eye seems to want to go back the way it was before i had the operation its like it lost its muscle and turn in and unalbe to move it . From the bottom of my heart i ask, not only for myself but for all those that are suffering from disease and misfortune and that for all my words are worth i ask that Purdue finds the compassion to give back the old oxy's for the people that are in real need and learn to regulate who is in real need and who is taking the drug to escape from the things that this world has put them through. God bless

Dear Notta Junkie, well aren't you just on your soap box! It is apparent that you do not use the oxy's. I am in CONSTANT pain now. I use them as directed by my Doc. Wouldn't think of snorting, shooting them etc. The OLD oxcy's worked and I wasn't in pain. The NEW oxcy's are s**t! Why don't you speak with one of us that really need them. Get a grip! There are some of us out here that really, really need the oxcy's for pain!

It always kills me to read posts such as these. You have your honest folks who come right out and tell you that they like to get high. Then you have the folks who became Legal addicts due to taking the Oxy's for a legitimate medical reason over a long period of time. Then you have the folks that speak all the fire and brimstone about how drugs will kill you etc etc... These folks need to stay out of the affairs of others, especially those of us who are really at the mercy of Drs. and yes, pharmaceutical companies. If anyone wants to call me a junkie because I take opiates for arthritis in my hands, back, shoulder, and knee, I could give a s**t less. But, mess around with the only thing that allows me to walk to the bathroom unassisted, and I going to have something to say. These OP's are garbage, plain and simple. These companies are more worried about the possibility of someone snorting one of their pills, instead of worrying about the quality of their product and the relief that it's supposed to provide. I wonder what would happen if the CEO of the company in question woke up tomorrow morning and couldn't get out of bed for 45 minutes because his pain was unbearable? WE are the people that you should be basing your formula on. Not the few that abuse it. Believe me, just from reading these posts, the people that are abusing it wish they could stop right now. Nobody wakes up in the AM and says, hmmm I think I'll be a junkie today, and ahhh yes, for the rest of my life while I'm at it. The way addicts are villified today, it's no wonder they are in the situation of not being able to stop. In order to stop, you have to say that you are an addict. Then, BOOM, here comes all the crap that carries the negative stigma of being an addict. Which way do they turn?

And then you read a few more posts all to be informed by two individuals here that we are just waisting our lives on presciption drugs. How they had cleaned up their own private hell's etc. And now are compelled to spend time posting to others a presciption ( pardon the pun) for life without meds etc. Mark Twain once said nothing ever so needs reforming as other people's habits and I always find it funny the amount of folks that want to save the world with there advice after they, themselves stopped taking whatever........ First, I dont need to clean up my life for I wasnt dirty to begin with. I just have to take pain meds like a person has to take blood pressure meds. Lastly, is that I am glad you found a better way to get your life to work for you. If you were not having to take meds then that is great. I have to take them to get out of the bed and I will until I can find a better way to keep putting them on an going on. Just dont use the words you used to hurt others and try to stereotype someone into a junkie or whatever role. Believe, me if they need to take pain meds then their lives are already difficult enough. Dont add to the problem. THanks

There is a post from a lady whose husband has severe back pain an relied on oxycontin to help with his pain. She went on to say that when she picked up his last script at the pharmacy it broke him out in hives and from what I could hear an allergic reation to this new compound of oxycontin and had serious blood pressure issues until they got him switched off of that to a different drug dilaudid, i think for him to be normal. so to speak. She stated that she was angry that her husband had to go through this and I couldnt agree with her more. And she is only a small microcosm of the folks that have been affected by this new way they are supposedly making that drug. Its rediculous what folks have to put up with just to get help. How doctors treat patients that need help and cant get it because of the pressures put upon them from dea etc. And that gets me sort of angry because of the struggles myself and a lot of folks have to go through that are similar to what this lady is describing. I just was curious if she was angry at some of the same people that I am for when I saw the opening to this forum I opted to read some of it and the first post was a FYI on how to take a razor or something to tear these type of pills apart so they could snort them. Why would someone take a genuine benefit such as this room and mark it up with remarks about how to snort a pill. These are the folks that make it difficult for some of us to get the right meds and treated properly because of statement like snorting pills above. I would bet a lot of money to say that I imagine these kids snorting pills that are designed to be swallowed are not doing it to stop hurting. They are just getting high and from the babble I read they feel a desire to educate others on how to do the same by chopping up a pill I would think to expedite the high they are after by cutting out the time release portions of the medicine it seems. Literally this is the reason the lady's husband had to get sick, and be put on a different med to control his pain, get hives and spend a lot of money none of us have this day an time because some idiot has to chop up a pill so the manufacturer had to react by using other additives that in this case were harmful to her husband, just to keep someone from acting childish, irresponsible, and not out to rid themselves of pain, or care anything about anyone that is in pain. I really hope they enjoyed that buzz they got from snorting a pill. Wish they would look at the folks they really are hurting.

HEY NOTTA JUNKIE- some people don't do well with change- especially when it comes to medication ok? It's not just changing the route you take to work , it's not just some inconvinience. This is medication that goes into one's body and changes chemicals, creating feelings and strong side effects- with them being oxy the side effects are pretty extreme.. Getting used to a certain med for YEARS- as some have posted- is probably uncomfortable.. and don't even start on me cuz I don't take them, my husband's back was was broken in the army and he takes them.. mmkay??? junkie-n maybe you should re-think your words and things you say.. addiction is a disease that people struggle with their entire lives- which you know nothing about obviously because of your lack of courtesy.. how bout ignorant hater or dunno why I post here - that fits a little better.. def. something with ignorance in it! xoxo!

I'm glad you wrote what you wrote Fortune cookie: It pisses me off when you hear someone say to just stop taking these pain pills and your life will change. When you have a severe disease or disabilty and you are in chronic pain from it, your life will not change just because you stop taking pills. If that was so, there would be alot of people claiming It's a mirable, I'm healed!!! You are an idiot Nottajunkie and Addictionisinsanity!

I resent anyone on here who says people posting are junkies.I have systemic scleroderma,and i like having quick relief after taking my PRESCRIBED dose.The new pills are not nearly effective,do not offer the same relief.Unless you are a person who lives w/a painfully chronic condition such as mine,dont BLAST EVERYONE on here making a legit complaint please.

Don't you all realize you're going to die from these drugs? Don't any of you feel worthy of living? You need to detox and begin your second chance in life before it's too late. I survived death from prescription drug addiction. You WILL die. It's just a matter of when. Death from overdose is accidental, meaning you didn't plan it. Your body has a limit. Get clean.

I recieved my monthly perscription 3 days ago.10 were the old crs and the rest were the new op's.I couldn't figure out why I didn't get the relief I used to untill I took the cr as opposed to the new op's? I called the VA and talked to a pharamasist and was told that PUDUE had done all the home work and found them to be completely safe and I needed to talk to my DR. to be changed to another drug to achieve the same results in pain relief since PUDRUE has NO intention of changing the formula back to the original.So I have to go through the same hoops it took me years to do to get a med that allowed me some relief enough to function somewhat.I have PAD(almost lost a leg 2 years ago) diabeties,a blood disorder requiring 2 blood thinners,artheritis of the ankle,DDD from s1 to L3,hepititisC,as well as copd.I took them orally as perscribed and now I have to start over at almost 60 yrs old.I would like to live out my remaining years with out all the added stress and pain I must now endure AGAIN to get back to the level of relief I had which still limited my life to no physical activity to speak of and limited mobility.Thank you PUDUE for making my last years so much more unproductive for whatever reason suited your alterative motive!

Purdue did test these and they have been in the works for years now. The FDA approves anything before it is sold to the public. You all sound like junkies trying to makeup legitimate problems for why they should bring back the older OC's. The symptoms or problems many of you describe can easily be seen through. This is probably the best thing that could happen and your lives will all be better eventually.

The new OP's r no good. I keep getting sick from these. They r saying these r the same. How would they know. They r not taking these new pills. Put the OC's back before ur company go under or some1 has to die b4 u change them back. The OP's r not good 4 people and Purdue know's this. Once again change the OP's back 2 OC's b4 some1 get very sick or die from them and then Purdue is going 2 have a big problem. We r not ur GINNY PIGS

What the !*$#. These don't work, and my doctor and the pharmacists were defending them. The docs and pharmacists think in certain situations (which is true) that even chronic pain sufferers abuse them so they think these new ones are great. But the don't work like the old ones period. I would say taking a new 80 is like taking an old oc 40. These OPs are a ripoff, and are absolutely the result of the illegal drug trade. My pharmacist told me theyre less addictive. That makes NO sense.

I agree these pills suck, im in a wheelchair with neuropathic pain and while the old oc didn't take that pain away it made the pain a little more bearable. They should bring the old ones back we need them, I've been on them for about ten years now and not once have i crushed them or cut them. It's the des fault they're gone they prescribe them like candy they need to be strict on who they write the scripts to, someone twists there pinky and they get 80 MG oxys please dumbass docs. Blame the drs.

obviously I'm a patriots fan and we just spanked the dolphins on monday night, but to the point I got hurt 11 years ago while framing houses i fell from the trusses and hyper extended my knee. I had a surgery and another and another and another 4 I started out with percocets 10mg then i was taking 10 per day so we switched to oxycontin and ive been pain free ever since and im not ruining my liver in the process. I take them orally exactly how there prescribed and I have done really good for 10 yrs or so. Now all of a sudden they have to mess with them and im really sick and my heart is palpitating im breaking out I cant breathe good and I do 40 mins of cardio daily on the stair master Oxycontin original formula has kept me functional after my injury and able to work and feel good about myself that i can go out and be a man in society and produce. I just dont understand how purdue can put a less then quality product out there in it's place and just sit back and call it good. This is wrong for us out there who don't abuse and who ligitimately in alotr of chronic pain If theres an yone out there who feels my pain I need support cause I'm going to have to quit I can't do this with this generic medication I'm better off dying in pain at this point. I'm going to check some detox places out and try to get clean. Unless somebody can help me figure this out thank you all who read and God Bless. Ps. It's kinda strange after Obama passed health care my scripts went up considerably and now our medications are being tamperd with thats the conspiracy therorist in me. LOL.

If you just want to eat them. Soak them in {edited for safety reasons}
I got my scrip last month and thought I was going to have to go to the ER because when I swallowed them they wouldn't stop the pain at all. After three days I was hurting. Then I remembered in HS(in the 70's) the science teacher showing us how coca cola would eat up a penny to nothing so I thought why not. I did the rest of my scrip that way this month. I have a lot of stomach problems and I called the company that makes them and the hinted around that it was probably the meds I take for this ailment that wouldn't let the OP's break down in my stomach. But they never did come out and say that to cover their asses. told me to ask my doc about alternatives. So I am going to see about instant relief OC's. If he won't, Ill keep a batch soaking in the coca-cola. I don't abuse them, I just don't get the pain relief from just swallowing them. even the old ones.I guess because of the Nexiums and the other stomach pills mess up the stomach acid. Anyway, good luck to all. Hope this helps the people who just chew them up. My blood pressure is higher with the new OP's too.
