We found a bottle with two 15mg of oxycodone and two 80mg of oxycontin. Our friend had passed away and no one is sure why. While cleaning out their room we found this bottle with these in it.

Re: ja mart (# 18) 
Hi. So, which medicine would be most effective for chronic pain? I have had a traumatic brain injury with lots of headaches, but what is worse, is the abdominal pain I have from gastroparesis, paralyzed stomach. I was prescribed 5 ml of oxycodone every 4-6 hours. Would the strength of the OxyContin be as strong, only lasting longer? Is that better? My dr gave me permission to take 10ml oxycodone because that works better for me. Also, I need liquid or IV form. Do either of these come in IV form? Thanks!

Hi,
I'm pretty new to pain management. I have gastroparesis and a traumatic brain injury and on disability. I was given Oxycodone liquid 5/5ml. What is the difference between Oxycodone and Roxicodone or OxyContin? I would just like to be educated, and you all know so much! How did you learn so much about each drug? Also, 10 mg relieves my pain pretty well, but I have never had any strange feelings in my head or anything. Why do people want this for recreational use? How quickly can someone become addicted to this? I'm very concerned about becoming addicted, so I rarely take a full dose each day. Thanks for your help!

Re: Verwon (# 6)
Wow, you are well educated! Thank you so much for pointing this out. Sometimes I do wonder if I stopped taking all my medicines, don't worry, I know I can't do that, what I would need to continue taking, and what is just controlling side effects. I am taking nexium, zofran, Phenergan, carafate and oxycodone for gastroparesis symptoms, Propanolol, Imatrex and Botox for migraine management, Xanax er, Effexor and Wellbutrin for PTSD, anxiety, social anxiety and depression brought on by the Tbi, Benadryl for the narcotic itches, belsomra, remeron, Albuterol, simbacourt inhailers for my asthma. I just think this is too much medicine. But I'm afraid to say something to the dr because I'm afraid they will take something away and then find out that I really do need it and won't be able to get it back. Does that make sense?

Hi guys,
I'm on this stuff myself and it can make your life miserable. You feel like a junkie which doesn't help your psychological state. I'm on a reduction programme and it's getting to the sharp end where I'm finding it really hard. Got pain and feel like crap all the time. Unrealistic to think I can just walk away from this stuff. Hate the vicious cycle. Get annoyed by people's appalling spelling and grammar on these posts. How petty is that? Have no simple answer. Hating life.

No State has stopped selling any of these drugs but many Drs will tell people this to kinda "weed" out addicts or people just looking to get pills for things other than treating their pain. Have to find a Dr who you trust and who trusts you. Can take a year or more for that relationship!!!

You shouldn't be concerned with what the differences are or amount, etc. If your story is true you should just flush in the toilet any pills you find and rip labels off the bottles before you throw away. I really hope you don't take those pills, this stuff can kill you. I don't get why you need to know differences in the 2 pill strengths if you're just trying to figure out why your friend died? Just saying, be careful playin with all this s***, it's no good life being an addict!!!

If it really belonged to a "friend" who passed away why does it matter at this point what it is or what the difference is between the 2? Flush them or take to a local pharmacy and have them destroy them. If you are caught with a deceased persons medications each pill in almost all States is a felony.don't chance it man just get rid of

Oxycodone is immediate release tablet...Oxycontin is oxycodone in an extended release tablet. 30 mgs oxycodone is precribed to be taken every 4 to 6 hours where as oxycontin is usually prescribed 10-12 hours apart.

Depends on what State you're moving to. Also don't get your hopes up that a new doc is going to prescribe the same meds even though you have been on them and have medical history to back it up. Unfortunately all the i****s out there think they know what's best for those with chronic pain. All I can say is you should probably save as many as you can because doctors are becoming more reluctant to prescribe these meds. I jump through hoops every month and still have a problem every single month I go to refill.

Take any medical records you have proving your condition with you to show why you need it. Also take your meds with you to show you were prescribed this will hopefully prevent any delays. they can check your board of pharmacy as well to show a doctor was prescribing and how much and for how long. Good Luck and if they say not move on because someone will help

Hello if you're going to a new doctor make sure you have a CT scan or MRI because most likely the doctor will consider,but most pain management doctor's will start from the bottom....but good luck

Shouldn't matter to anyone but pt as to why they were prescribed these meds. They are both very strong pain medications. The best advice: throw it down the toilet, flush and don't be concerned w someone else's medical status. If he was a friend and wanted you to know I'm sure he would have told you. Just please don't take it as a way to feel high as someone can easily go into respiratory distress. Not a drug to be played with. Bottom line they are both used as a pain medication. Good luck to you.
