Oxycodone Forums (Page 18)

Go to dr kevin weiner on nelson ave. Good luck ## Thanks for the suggestion on Dr. Kevin Weiner. I was checking out some of his reviews on HealthGrades and he is definitely regarded as one of the top doctors for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in the New York Metro Area. Posted below are the contact details to his office in Staten Island for anyone interested in paying him a visit: Kevin H Weiner MD 2071 Clove Rd Staten Island, NY 10304 (718) 442-4422 (Office) Would you describe this doctor as being pretty liberal or conscious of his patient's true medical needs? ## Apparently he does not prescribe opiates anymore, I called to try to make an appointment. Does anyone still see him? Is the receptionist just trying to sway people away?

Can Oxycodone be given with Xtampza ER for break-thru pain? ## Hi Red - Well, Xtampza is an extended release form of Oxycodone, so I think that technically what you are asking is if you can take both an immediate release and extended release Oxycodone in conjunction with one another? Unfortunately I'm not qualified to answer that without knowing your specific case, but I have read other comments on this site where someone is given one medication for breakthrough pain and another which is extended release. Your doctor or pharmacist should be able to provide some insight, or perhaps your doctor can even give you a proper prescription for a breakthrough pain medication. I hope this helps! ## Yes, you can mix the 2 drugs! I'm taking Oxycontin and then Roxicodone for breakthrough pai...

Walgreens and Cvs in Tampa FL are not carrying oxycodone or dilaudid. Most pharmacys will fill for cash. I am disgusted. ## Walgreens pharmacy manager just told me that they will only fill opiate perscriptions from pain management dr's for a maximum of 6 months. ## I really can't blame you for being so frustrated with this whole situation going on in Florida. The number of patients in the entire state who are going through this, only appears to be rising rather quickly. Is this the case too, with 'Mail Order' services through Walgreens or CVS? I wouldn't be surprised if many pain patients left the state of Florida just to make life a little easier. ## I went to Walgreen's as well as a host of others and they said the manufacturer is backordered on thm. My scrip i...

I am a 50 year old woman in severe pain due to a degenerative disc disease, something I was born with and has progressed to the point to where I am unable to stand, walk or sit for very long without medication. I recently was accepted by the Social Security dept. as a disabled woman due to severe pain. My Dr. Has prescribed oxycodone 30 mg 4 times a day for break through pain and OxyContin 80 mg. 3 times a day for long acting pain. The medications help but the fear of my future haunts me every minute of the day. Every month I attempt to get my prescriptions filled. most months I go to 6-8 pharmacies, with them all telling me No, the dose is too high I'm not comfortable filling that or, we just don't carry that drug. 2 months ago I was placed on Walgreens "Good Faith Policy a...

My husband has been relentlessly trying to fill my scripts for over a week, spending hrs on end daily, going from Parmacy to Pharmacy, with no luck. I've had CHRONIC pain for near 8 yrs from car accident, where I was sole survivor. I've never had a problem filling my medications until now. I can NOT function without them and have no hope of any quality of life without the assistance of these. My pain is unbearable and I can't stand that my children have to see me in pain. It's humiliating for my kids to see me cry, struggling to do simple tasks. I REALLY NEED FOR SOMEONE TO HELP ME find a Pharmacy that has in stock in Sarasota FL. I've even called my Dr to see if they could change my scripts, so I don't have to be in so much pain, and apparently he's out of t...

My father in law takes 120 milligrams a day or 4-30 milligrams a day and is looking for pain management doctor who is willing to prescribe that amount for him. The only ones he's been able to find only want to do half of that. Does anyone know of any good doctors around there? He used to go to a doctor in northern Az but they quit the pain management program and now he has to transfer to Phoenix. Thank you! ## Advanced pain management in Chandler.

I can't believe how hard these doctors are. Is it the doctors or govt. I fly back to FL every month to get my 180 30mg roxi and 60mgs 2X a day. ## It is the government, new regulations were put in place this year that restrict which doctors can prescribe what medications, how long they can prescribe them, how much they can prescribe and why they can prescribe them… and of course, they are all concerning controlled substances. If you are currently living in Phoenix, then no doctor in Florida should be prescribing you such medications and no pharmacy there should be filling them for you. You should live within a certain radius of both the doctor and the pharmacy. Continuing to make this trek to get these medications could cause you to end up getting flagged and that may cause yo...

I have "Idiopathic Small Fiber Peripheral Neuropathy" and have been fighting this HORRIFFIC PAIN since Jan 24,2012 and it took till April meeting with my Neurologist (I lived in Atlanta) to have an EMG and then a Biopsy to verify my illness.

Have out of date oxycodone prescribed to me in the past. Instead of going back to the doc an getting charged $700 is it safe to take them. ## Most solid form medications, such as tablets and capsules containing powder, do not become dangerous once expired, but they can lose effectiveness, so they may not work as well as they did, when new. Thus, it is actually best to dispose of them, and see your doctor for a new prescription, if one is needed. The FDA warns that Oxycodone carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. $700 is a lot to be charged for a doctor's appointment. Was is a specialist, or a general practitioner?

I have been prescribed Oxycodone 15 mg tabs for my chronic pain. My pharmacy, when in stock, carries Alvogen brand. I have absolutely no issues with this brand. They are very effective with easing my pain. That is what it is intended for. Not to feel high as a kite. So for those who suffer from LEGIT chronic pain, this should be just as effective as other brands. ## Your comment is extremely upsetting. I suffer from chronic pain and have been on Roxane brand oxycodone until this last refill that is Alvogen. As a stay at home mom, I cannot stand a loopy drugged up feeling because I have many things to do with and for my son. I have taken several doses now and it is absolutely horrible. I get more of the drugged up feeling with it than normal and I have no pain relief. I could barely walk...

I just moved here to the suburbs of Atlanta (Woodstock) from NJ and I am having a very difficult time finding a pain management doctor. I currently take 90mg of oxycodone and 60mg of methadone for chronic neck and back pain. Two of the doctors that were on my BC/BS provider website told me that they could not treat me and made me feel like I was on a high amount of pain medications. In NJ my pain management doctor had been prescribed that amount for years and I never got the impression it was a big deal. But here in Georgia it looks like I am going to have some problems. Can anyone out there recommend a good pain management doctor in the Woodstock Georgia area that is not afraid to treat a person that has legitimate pain management issues. I am starting to get the impression that I migh...

Norco 10/325 quit working for me. I was given Morphine 100mg, TOO MUCH FOR ME, Now I have been taking Oxycodone 20mg IR and I am have shortness of breath and chest pain ? I can hardly breathe . I see my lung Doctor today, where do I go from here for pain medication, I am suspecting that the Oxycodone is my breathing problem and I must give it up. Help ## What did the doctor say? Oxycodone can cause suppression of the central nervous system as a side effect, which can cause breathing issues, sometimes chest pain, severe drowsiness, and somnolence. What issues did the Morphine cause? If that dose was too high, there are lower ones available that you can try. Alternatively, you might also do better with a time released formulation of Oxycodone, rather than one that releases all the medicat...

I have a Spinal Injury (Cervical and Lumbar) Va Doctor Treated. Was on Percacet 5/325 for 4 years, Dr. placed on Oxycodone 15mg for 16 months. Switched VA facilities and new doctor has Opiate concerns and switches me before even reviewing my records because of her belief of no Opiate treatments to 5mg Oxycodone(Tolerance levels made them like aspirin) stating additional Insaids and Anti-inflammatory should do the job. After 9 months and many conversations, she still says she is concerned about Opiate abuse and will not increase me because of addiction fears. How do I express that I know my body is addicted but, at least with the 15mg I would relieve some of the pain. As it is now I just have enough Opiate in me for the body to need it, but not enough to be effective as a pain relief. If...

I have crps/rsd cutaneous lupus and diabetes and was put on oxycodone aceteminophin 10/325 for pain, the other scripts i take daily are lantis. novalog pen, doxcyclaine, lisiniphrol., metformin, and voltaren gel. I tested positive for oxymorphone on urine screen 1322 ng/ml and cannot get a reply from anyone as to why this is happening, these are the only meds I take and at a loss here. ## Your body converts some of the oxycodone into oxymorphone I think I read its like 15% or something. Your good as long as the levels aren't too high. If they're higher then they're supposed to be it could be a some kind of drug interaction making your body convert more of it than its supposed to. As long as the Dr don't say anything don't worry about it. ## Im tataking oxycodone. 6 x...

Someone that me and my husband got into a fight w called dyfs on us and children. I then got my script stolen. I was without my script for 2 wks i got a new script and the next day had to take a drug test and they said i came back positive for morphine. Y? Is it possible to be a false positive cuz i didnt do anything! ## Do you know what type of test was used? Was it one of the dip tests that they do right in the office, or was it one where the sample was actually sent off to a lab? If is was one of the in office tests, then the less expensive, non-certified ones have been known show false positives anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time. ## Many testing facilities have very poor quality control standards. Several have out dated reagent chemicals, poor technician training, not to mention if...

Reading some of these posts I feel I am reading about myself .. And I don't feel good about it because there are way to many of us suffering and not knowing what to do or say... 18 months ago I injured my spine and am now in a wheel chair unable to walk properly without my legs going into massive spasms and falling out from underneath me I cannot feel parts of my purple feet, my toes and feet are permanently curled inwards and I have no feeling in regions, very limited feeling in regions, or a sort of "spiderweb' pins and needles tickle feeling in different regions of my legs, thighs, hips, and groin region. This is due mainly to my S1 nerve root being completely compressed as well as everything else in that region being compressed inflamed and drowning in scar tissue. Conse...

It is supposed to be a pain pill but it's not working at all. I have been prescribed the medicine and it always worked well enough to allow me to function, but this new pill doesn't work. I think they gave me the wrong medication. Can anyone verify it's contents? ## Hi Roxanne, Is there any chance your pill says T 193 as opposed to T 133? I haven't come across any specific details on T 133, but T 193 is reportedly identified as a 7.5/325 mg generic Oxycodone + Acetaminophen tablet. For verification, the manufacturer is listed as Camber Pharmaceuticals and the pill itself carries a National Drug Code of 31722-0193. On a side note, there are numerous complaints throughout this forum on Camber Pharmaceutical products lacking efficacy. I hope this helps! ## I agree 100 perce...
