What Effects Are You Having From The Op's?

Updated

I was curious as to what effects everyone is experiencing from these new OP's? I know what I'm feeling and thought I was crazy, but here and there I am noticing complaints of stomach problems and such. So I just want to hear what's going on with everyone so when I go back for my RX I can tell my doc that I'm not the only one having issues.

Unfortunately, there have been many complaints about the new Oxycontin OP either not working as well as the original or its causing odd side effects, so you are definitely not alone.

Here are a few links to some other posts on our site with these types of complaints:

http:/­/­www.prescriptiondrug-info.com/­threads/­oxyicotin-80mg-with-OP-ON-THE-OTHER-SIDE-COLOR-GREEN-S174720.htm

http:/­/­www.prescriptiondrug-info.com/­threads/­round-pill-80-on-one-side-op-on-the-other-S174263.htm

http:/­/­www.prescriptiondrug-info.com/­threads/­Call-Purdue-Pharma-about-new-OXYCONTIN-80MG-OP-S175556.htm

And those are just a few of the discussions going on, there are many more if you search our site.

If you have been having problems with the medication, along with reporting it to your doctor, I suggest also calling both Purdue and the FDA at the following numbers:

Purdue Pharma number for drug safety/medication issues:

888.726.7535


FDA MedWatch number:

800-332-1088

You may also want to print some of those discussions to show it to your doctor, so they know you are not just making things up regarding the problem.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Stomach problems, headaches,as well as other side effects - main one being not feeling the meds working at all - USUALLY are caused by chewing or breaking coating.There are many posts out there by people wanting to figure out how to avoid new ingrediant that is added to OCs to stop people from getting high and to force them to take as supposed to.

I had stomach surgery that causes me to have problems with lots of meds. I can't even take advil. My doc understands my issues and thankfully adjusted my meds accordingly. This whole oxycontin issue reminds me of the gun control issues we hear about almost daily. It's not the guns that are bad, it's the people who use them illegally and with bad intentions. Best of luck to all those having problems with their meds and docs right now. I hope it all works out for you like it has for me (at least for now).

I suffer from migraine headaches/cluster head aches, and OP's are a direct trigger. Not only do they bring on a migraine, they are level 10, which for those who are lucky enough not to have true migraines; are so traumatic that you think your going to die for 15+ hours of unholy pain. Your senses become acute, so much so that a whisper will cause you to extreme pain (even more), any light is like looking into the sun and simple smells become so over powering that you will puke..... well thanks to Purdue's filthy greed, their so called bio-equivalent, same exact medication, is nothing less than poison and 100% different. I can't wait to jump on the class action lawsuit that they will get hit with for this breach of trust.

Maybe that's why my migraines have come back with a vengeance! I have had to start taking Topamax again to try to keep them at bay, but it takes time for the meds to take full effect. I temporarily switched to double 10's from 20's, but now the 10's are OP's as well. I timed them too! I took a 20 without breakthrough meds and after about 9 hours the pain starts kicking in and so do withdrawal symptoms. So much for 12 hour time release

Well so far I take all my 5's first. Then when I run out I move to ten's and the, lastly the 20's. Thats when I have to take in only hot liquids as any type of food source. Still trying to cnvince doc of problems, but he is so terrified of the powers that be

Hi Dragon,
I have the same problem with the time frame - no they don't last 12 hrs but I thought it was because I'd been on them so long that my body has adjusted. With the old Oxys if the level was to high I'd have headaches & stomach issues plus I became a MAJOR witch. These new ones don't seem as strong or last as long - maybe everyone who reads this site ought to start contacting company and flooding them with complaints. These days the publicity about these meds are so tilted toward negative that all of us that truly need them need to voice our opinions loudly and in the right places!

My daughter is having extreme reactions to the new ops including,headaches, nausea and soaking sweats. She is being told that since she must be on pain medication for a prolonged time that there is no other medication that will help. She will not be able to work with these side effects. The pain is too great without pain killers. I called Perdue Pharma at 1 888 7267535 and filed a report for her about the ops. Is there anything else that I can do? Do the ops get easier to tolerate with time?

I've noticed personally that the side effects are sporadic. The nausea, soaking sweats and headaches come and go. It doesn't stop, but it doesn't happen all the time. I wish the best for her and hope that she can get off the meds or we can all find something better!
