Lately, I've been getting really buzzed by my usual dose - only to have it wear off in just a couple hours and then, of course, I'm suffering withdraw symptoms for 6 hours till my next dose. It's as though the its releasing all at once! (I take one 20 mg OxyContin 3X daily.)

So, I've gone from the medicine working fine (original formula), to hardly working at all - and now, to this nonsense! Is anyone else experiencing this?!?

Thanks.

You DO NOT know what you're talking about cause even my doctor calls them OXY and I doubt very much that he's a drug addict

I can see from reading most of these comments, that they are written by drug abusers. I hope you guys know that you are the sole reason this stuff is on the market now. For the people who really need the medicine we're the ones to suffer. Thankfully I switched to oxycodone 30 mg E/R with same pain management effects as oxycontin 40mg og formula. For anyone that is currently on OP, and wants the same relief as the original oxycontins, I would def suggest oxycodone 30mg E.R. I'm on 8/day as needed, but there are lower doses that work just as good. I hope this helps to those of you who need it for chronic pain.

The only negative about the 30mg e.r tabs is they are snortable. So getting used to how they work may be a bad idea, being they will probably change the formula soon to an anit-abuse proof.

You need to learn how to write sir. You sound just as bad as all the addicts chiming in.

Personally I hope the old ocs are brought back. For all the patients like my dad who ligitamitly need them. It worries me that in Perdue's effort to stop ppl from smoking them they added a fire retardant chemical that is also used in the inslation of homes. Doesnt seem to safe. I personally was on the other side of the coin and was addicted smoking oxys for yrs. Perdues decision to change the formula pushed me and everyone I know that was abusing to herion. I understand they were trying to stop abuse but really they just pushed the ppl abusing to a far more dangerous drug.

Im so sorry to hear about what you went threw on the op's i was prescribed oc's for about two years before they changed the formula i talked to my doctor we decided that i would try the 30mg oxcycodone and the 75 mcg. Pain patch not only for the pain relief but also because of the price i am a cash patient. I have been taking this dosage for about a year and a half now and it has killed my pain all together i dont get the high feeling but that is not a concern for me i just want the pain to go away so i can live a normal life. I hope thjs helps you a little bit. I know everyone is different and bodys reacts different but this is just something that have helped me. And also help my money situation cause those dame oc's and op's are crazy expensive if you dont have insurance.

Does anyone really know what is in the coating of the new Oxycontins? Does it really contain fire retardents? If so, how can they legally poisin us. As for those who claim everyone who needs pain meds are junkies. 1) I was recently reinjured, took months to get a referral to specialist. 2) Hip Specialist tells me to see my back surgeon 3) Back Surgeon tells me to see my hip specialist. and vice versa. The only relief I got was from a Chriopractor which was only temporary, but at least made me feel alive again even if for a short period of time. 4) It's been 6 months and still just get jerked around by the specialist and now my Chiropractor says they can't see me unless I become a cash patient because they can't get any reimbursement from Medicare even though they say they cover Spinal Adjustments. 5) This is why people turn to pain medications. I am at a point to where I will go on the streets and get lidacaine and self inject. Can they really blame me? This is why people in chronic pain commit suicide. You finally get tired of being jerked around by Doctors who should be banning together to find a solution instead of pushing you out the door to another.

I was just prescribed oxycontin15mg ER from ms contin(due to side efffects) and have no pain relief whatsoever, which is actually helpful in determining that I am still in pain in certain body parts after walking down Stairs on my crutches, (as advised by my p.t.).will work with MD this week asap to determine best course of action. Don't ever walk down stairs with your crutches...I was careful and accidents happen

you people are ignorant.
the reason your family members are in such pain is bc of how addictive and disgusting those pills were...
Do you even realize how many people started abusing them. Its synthetic heroin...
tell your family members to get use to a different pain medication then....Oxys shouldnt ever be allowed on the market. its disgusting.
I have seen soo many lives ruined from them.

Re: my post regarding FALLING down 9 stairs, anddwas given oxycontin er, which gave me zero pain relief....maybe it takes a while to build up in your system for pain relief, but I gave it a week then tried something else. I tore my rotator cuff, now have a vertebrae that is not not sitting on top of the one under it, its kind of tipping over, and, getting tested for torn hip ligaments and tendons. So yes, people like me and others do need pain meds just to do daily functions of life.
To anyone making judgements regarding need for pain meds, If you haven't walked a mile in my shoes, keep your erroneous judgements inside your head please.

DUDE OXYCONTIN WAS NEVER EVER LIKE HEROIN, I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE HEROIN, AND THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN ON OCS AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THE DETOX IS 100000 TIMES WAY WORSE THAN THE DETOX OF IMM OR CONTOLLED RELEASE OXYCODONE, AKA ROXYCODONE AND OR OXYCONTIN,,

I HAVE TAKEN OXYCONTIN AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY RELIEVE BETTER FROM ANY OTHER PAIN MEDS,

THE F***ING DEA AND FDA NEEDS TO LEAVE CHROIC PAIN MEDS ALONE, ONES THAT WORKED, I HAVE HAD THE POS AND THEY ARE NOTHING LIKE THE OLD ONES AT ALL, F*** THIS F***ING CORRUPT SO CALLED GOVERNMENT WE HAVE IN THE US OF A, F*** EM ALLL
