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

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.

Hello. I am so sorry that you are going through this! It's really scary! Have you become dependant? So you have methadone clinics in your city?

Methadone clinic are just a legal way of getting High!! My son went to a clinic they had his dose so high, finally was able to find a rehabilitation facility that would even accept him because he was on Methadone. It is only my opinion but never will I ever accept Methadone as pain management
