Which Is Stronger 15mg Ms Contin Or 15mg Oxycodone (Page 7)

I wonder what the difference is between 15MG MS Contin vs 15 Mg Oxycodone. Is there a substitute for MS Morphine..I take 2 30mg MS Contin twice a day and also with that I take 15MG MS Contin twice per day..which of course is 45mgs at a time..with 3 15mg Oxcodone for breakthru pain. I was taking 20 mg Oxycontin 3 times a day etc. But my insurance wasn't paying for the oxy. So what I take now is paid for. Do any of you have any suggestions of what would work better for the pain..since I changed to morphine it doesn't seem to do the trick..this is long..but any answers would be very appriciated..Thanks..

I think all the good drugs which are timed release are too expensive and insurance will not cover it and I seriously have to wonder why except that our insurance companies and drug companies are playing God. I have taken all these meds and have to admit the two best ones out there which are timed release are the Oxycontin and the Hydromorphone which is better and stronger than the Oxycontin. I was put on Methadone which works with the Oxycodone wonderfully and stays in your body for days. I loved it!! Then our wonderful DEA took us all off of it. It is now free for opiate addicts. Anyway I was put on the Fentanyl patch and it seems to do a much better job than the MS contin and insurance will pay for it. It is a bit more expensive than the MS Contin as the MSContin and Methadone were and are the cheapest ones out there. I hope this helped a little but honestly I think we should start doing something about these drug companies and how much they make you pay for drugs that you need, not just pain meds, but life sustaining meds that people have to have to stay alive!!

Ask him for OPANA 10MG immediate release & OPANA 20MG extended release.. I've been on percocet 10's, oxycontin 20mg ER, fentanyl patches, roxys, and not one of these can equal to OPANA! 10mg opana.= 20 my oxycodone

I was on Oxy 15mg 4x a day for 2 years and now my doctor has put me on MS( instant release) 15mg 4x a day . Its been a week now and Im suffering terrible pain! Ive had two total knee replacements due to Avasvular Necrosis and have 3 bulging discs in lower back and pain from sciatic and faucet joints. (Both sides) My doctor changed my meds due to people abusing Oxy's so bad that our state is barring down on PMP and can no longer perscribe them. And if I mention that I would like to try a certan narcotic, I am treated like Im an abuser. How can I go about telling him that the MS 15mg doesnt touch my pain and need something stronger or another narcotic without him threatning to drop me as a patient?

Re: Jackie Jackson (# 11)
Pain is real and awful but get off drugs. Opioids make you worse the withdrawal is awful and I had one doctor he wouldn't help me ween off. I've heard too many honest people like me and we suffER while addicts are making it impossible to get relief. I've never been high. I don't even drink but it's true oxy increases your pain. Stay on morphine and codeine the only 2 opiates derived from plants not created for God knows what in a German lab in the mid 1900's I think getting your life back is hard but worth it. I'm in pain but am on 1/4 of what I was 6 months ago. I'm tired of pills running my life and most true pain patients agree and want off this rubbish. I pray for myself and all of you struggling but we'll only stay sick HOOKED on pain killer's

Same! I took Hydrocodone for back pain and nothing else would work. Well, that was from withdrawal! Best thing I ever did was to get off pain meds!
