Concerned About My Next Dr. Visit (Top voted first)

im currently under a new drs. care, he prescribed me opana 5mg er....my next appointment is in 2 days and there were a couple times i had to take an extra one ,because i was in terrible pain...should i just be honest with him? if i take one tomorrow , that will leave me one for my visit & i dont want him to think that ive been abusing them, which i havent, should i ask for a hefty increase, cause i was once on roxicodone 30mg....or should i also ask for something for breakthrough pain or request to be put on roxicodone, or would the opana 30 or 40 mg solve this issue, thanks

Honesty is your smartest bet and the only way to let him know that the current dosage is not controlling your pain.

If you were abusing them, you would have run out a lot sooner and wouldn't even have one left and that should be obvious to him.

As to asking for particular medications or a hefty increase, that is the part that isn't such a good idea, because then you do make yourself sound like a drug seeker.

In these situations, it is best to tell him about the problem you have had and let him suggest how to handle it.

If he doesn't, then you may need to ask for something stronger.

If you were on 30mgs of Rocidone, then an equivalent dosage of Opana would be half of that, so 15mgs.
