Newish pain meds:
--------------------------------

Zohydro (extended release hydrocodone). People really have their panties in a wad over this one. See news stories such as "Critics fear new painkiller’s ‘frightening’ potency". Ohh noo!

Targiniq ER (oxycodone HCl/naloxone HCl controlled-release)

Xartemis XR - This is instant AND extended release PERCOCET. (Personally I'm quite interested in this one.

Nucynta and Nucynta ER (Tapentadol)

I'm about to take all my pills. I'm in extreme pain since being in an accident 3 weeks ago. Have been in pain for 20 years, which increased 5 years ago, but now I can't handle this amount!

Been trying to get doctors to provide some relief, but my symptoms don't make sense, they never gave, so I'm not believed!

And the spinal steroid injection I received 2 weeks ago just made everything worse!

I've had enough!

I've been on 30 mg. 2x mscontin daily and 30 my oxycodone 4 day for break through, which some days I need to take an extra just to work. I work construction. I need dlb. Knee replacement server arthritis in knees, neck, back now shoulders. Aldo degeneration of spine, bone spurs and necks so bad they thought it was brokin and have very sever arthritis in neck. im in constant pain were some days it impossible to even work. I had to take a UA 2 months ago, It came back in 30 days later and was told I had almost no level of either drug in my body. This is first time in 4 years I was every checked for levels. I was checked we it the quick UA to see if I was taking my med or any illegal or until prescribed drugs, which I never failed. How can I have so low of levels on both drugs??? I do pass alot, always thirsty were sleeping is big problem because I'm up almost every 1/2 hour. Same during day. Always rushing to bathroom. Sometimes not making it. I had blood work w high came back normal, but they forgot prostate examination, which they drew blood again now to analyze. I had tumor removed from neck a year ago which came back negative. I have lost 100 lbs, at first on an kind diet which always worked for me. I tried to get weight off knees. I did have gel shots put in knees which helped a lot. I was read flagged with low levels with UA. On both drugs, which I take as prescribed, sometimes less on on oxycondone since gel shots.. well Doc accused me of not taking mess at all and must be selling them.. I was floored. I do everything he ask of me, ..I was paying $150 every month just to get script on top of paying cash for mefs. Since I got insurance his attitude has changed

My main question is why low levels...is there maybe something else wrong with me. 2 years ago I weighted 300 lbs, was built like a rock and in pat 2 years I look like a cancer patient. My muscle tone is gone along with my strength. I'm 6'7" tall. So at 300 I didn't look bad, I took weight off to save my knees. I climbed ladders for 30 years, worked construction. All heavy work. If my levels come back again low, I'll be disvh as red and red flagged, meaning no doctor will ever write a script for mefs I need. I can't have knee replacement because I have no money to live on while rehapping, or family to stay with. I'm 56, feel 80, and anxiety and depression is starting to set in , which I told doctor and he looked st me like I was lying.. I'm sick of the pain, the doctors, the pain meds and have absolutely no quality of life. I barely am bearly able to support myself and end up borrowing money, I worry every minute about work. Rent and bills. Now I worry about getting cut off of meds. It's no w as y to live and I'm st my ropes end. dooo.. WHY THE Low Levels. Anyone have a clue!!!

I have no life ether. I have been on so many drugs for 13 months. I have stage 4 prostate cancer. The drugs keep me inside the house along with the pain. The drugs do not get rid of all the pain. I am about to the point of ending the little life I have left. I will never get better. Cancer has spread to my bones and lungs.

Thanks for the post.
I suffer from chronic pancreatitis. It is so true the only time in the day I go without some kind of pain is when I first wake up. Sometimes I think it might be better to be a paraplegic. It's hard to explain to someone how bad it feels and how hard to deal with. I would not wish this pain on anyone but I sometimes would want some of the ignorant people out there to go through 10 seconds or so of this pain.

If anyone can help me out here. It's 3am new york time my ankle surgery was at 10am the day before. I had nerve block in my ankle foot plate and screws and they dressed it with splint and ace bandages. I do far took 10-325 percocet twice. Last one being at 11pm ..I woke up in pain ,throbbing pain. Feeling tingling so nerve block wearing off ...I took a 10mg oxy at 310am..it's really not helping much. Can I take another 10mg? I don't know what to do. It's excruciating pain. No fever, no chills, not nauseous...I have my leg elevated above heart and waiting for 10mg oxy to kick in ..feel like it is just a bit but omg it's bad. I can take pain and this is ridiculous. Any help would be appreciated....

Same here. Although my doses have never changed, the effectiveness is diminishing. I have been on a cocktail of 15 mg percocet and 15 mg of morphine twice a day for the past 3 years and am not getting anywhere. I give myself 5 years and then the end, if nothing changes or anything new comes along.

Listen I have had two cars drive into my body one of them causing a traumatic brain injury off of bicycle cracked open skull on the pavement the next blowing out my lower extremities 5 years post first accident. If you say that you can get a night's sleep and wake up in the morning and have one second even one nanoseconds of non-paid consider yourself lucky I have not slept in over 8 years but no f****** b******* I'm being dead serious when you suffer from traumatic brain injuries coupled with devastating consequences to your physical body you will not sleep you cannot find a comfortable position there is no REM. Just constant in an out maybe four to six times a night of getting up going to the bathroom laying down switching positions rolling over losing girlfriends because of it etcetera so if you're in the position that you're in where you have one nanosecond of non-paying consider yourself lucky

Methadone counters oxycodone? -that doesn't make sense. Most people are given methadone to get off of oxycodone, as it interferes with the receptors in the brain than intake the drug, and essentially stops it from working entirely.

Totally understand. 2 tbi's, c-Spine and lumbar screwed up. Plus ptsd. Not a second without pain and it would be the greatest to sleep. Done tried to checkout twice. That didn't even go right for me. I have no life at all but my kids. Which I can't even take care of by myself. I feel like a piece of crap cause I can't be a right farther to them. But they love me and I love them. Only thing that keeps around is knowing what it would do to them if I took my life. I can't do that to them.
