My Oxycodone Is Not Working, What Do I Do? (Page 3)

I have been on opiates for over 10 years now and after refining the dosage amount finally found at sweet zone at 135mgs Morphine per day. I made a big mistake and asked my Dr if I could get rid of the day time Morphine and try something that would not be so sedative during the day. I was switched to Oxycodone from Morphine (not what I asked). The Oxycodone absolutely sucks as it only works for about 3 hours. I have asked several ways to get it changed and have now found myself being compromised. By me asking so deliberately they have now said they are taking all opiates away! I am freaking out, I am in tears in the morning and have to double dose in the AM to be able to not want to just give up. I started to argue with the Dr. and was just told there is nothing to do as that is the decision. They are tapering down 25mg each month. I do not want to be reduced but do not know what to do. This is the Veterans Administration and I'm just so freaked I do not know what to do. I am at my wit's end, please give advice.

So many people are giving up. In my family alone I have had 5 people commit suicide since the 90's because of either NO pain control or Doctors threatening to withhold pain meds/suddenly stop pain management. Until they understand pain themselves and put some people in power that ACTUALLY HAVE CHRONIC PAIN and are willing to speak out, this country is in big trouble. I pray for every one struggling with pain now. God Bless you all and I hope they will SOON legalize Medical Cannabis nation wide!

Well have not had any Morphine or Oxycodone now for 7 days. Hard, very hard. I think the worst part started while on Meds. The SKIN on abdomen is severely hypersensitive. No one seems to have an answer. It is damn near over whelming.

Hi, I got pinned under a loaded tractor trailer 5 years ago. Perforated my colon, I lost 16 inches of my small intestine, my spleen, I've had 4 back surgeries. I now have a plate in my pelvis two titanium rods 6 pins an artificial disc and nerve damage in my left leg and foot. I go to pain management every month, I have been taking Oxycodone 10mg 3x a day. I run out 8 to 10 days early all the time. I work at a truck salvage yard now. I drove a truck for 27 years and I can't be sitting for long periods anymore. It's awful. As of late, I'm getting a sharp pain in my right hip and thigh probably from compensating for a left leg problem. What can I get to help me control my pain? The Dr just keeps refilling same meds and tell me the pain shouldn't be that bad or they tell me to find an easier job. I have a mortgage and two kids I have to work. They (Drs) seem burnt out on dealing with fakers and liars but I need answers. I'm a real working dad. On a good day 10mg 6x works but I don't think they will ever go for it. I need help as the pain leaves me in bed on weekends because I take little to no meds to try to have enough to get through my week. I sometimes think that if this is how it has to be, maybe it's time for me to end it.
