I've been on 4 30mg oxycodone a day and 2mg dilaudid twice a day. I'm in severe around the clock pain. The dilaudid for some reason does not reduce my pain level at all. The oxycodone does but it works for 2 hours and the pain is back. Should I switch to OxyContin? Been struggling with this for a while now if anybody can help let me know. Thanks

I'm currently on oxycodone instant release 30mg 4 times a day and they but only a short period of time. I have had 3 back surgeries and the pain is constant all day everyday. I want to switch to OxyContin but not sure what mg to be on to be rquivelant to what I take now because of the new formula OxyContin is made of. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know I would really appreciate it.

Do not feel bad, I have 500 stitches down my back, an 8" plate inserted, all tied to collar bone and ribs, and 4 1/2 inches of bone taken from my hip to graft into the plate (which at 50 is almost impossible to graft anything you use or move, even if then. ) 5 months later, same type proceedure on the neck. Was just in the V.A. for 4 days, and was refused my oxycontin because I don't have cancer !! So I ended up going into and through withdrawal and they were firmly aware of my medical condition. How would you like to be in a hospital and know you could die from withdrawal before the illness you were admitted for ?

In my world OxyContin is the name brand which is a tier 2 drug and Oxycodone is generic and is tier 1as far as cost.

Maia,
I too have CRPS and other multiple pain issues. My pain specialist put in a Neurstimulator implant to try to help it but it only made things much worse. I'm in more pain than ever. Now they are talking about trying a Ketamine infusion which is an 8hour procedure done as an outpatient at the Hosp. They infuse the ketamine all day as they increase the dose and its supposed to get rid of the pain for awhile, they will redo it as needed. I'm not sure If I should do it or not, I'm afraid it will make things worse. I'm on 30 mg of each the OxyContin and oxycodone 3 times a day plus I take Sevella and Neurontin- 900mg - 3 times a day for the burning in my legs and arms and neck. I've been dealing with this pain for almost 25 years, I wish you lots of luck and prayers will b sent your way if you dam

Good for you Freddy, I had back surgery 3yrs ago and they started me taking 12 ocycodone 30mg a day & 2 oxycontin 30a day!! Over the course of time my husbandhrt his back and the norco he was getting wasn't helpful so I gave him some of mine & pretty soon we were both hooked about 3 weeks ago we decided enough was enough and have cut down to 45 mg a day each and next week we should be completely weened off!! We can both now think better and I'm not constipated all the time and we enjoy sex again!! The withdrawal is hell but its so worth not being on these meds, I would rather have a little pain and a life then no pain an no life worth living! Good luck to all of you on this horrible drug that steals your life away an GOD bless

Oxycontin is Oxycodone in its purity. Yes it is time released filtering through your body for 12hrs. apposed to the quick release of Oxycodone that filters through in 6hrs. and is mixed with Tylenol

RE: oxycodone mixed with xanax

It's a great combo the xanax keeps the morning sickness down from the oxycodone, pot is also great and it's coming to a town [legally] near you very soon.

The key to a happy life is to find cool open minded people that know the true facts which is "since ALL doctors have been ordered to stop (prescribing drug cocktails) specifically Carisoprodol which was the major cause of the overdoses in the past.

i just got off fentanyl and hydrocodone and i feel much better i was so out of it i didnt know what i was doing and were i was most of the time. dont take fentanyl unless u want to be a vegttable. they switched me to 30 mg 3 times daily of oxycodone and cymbalta 60 mg a day i am feeling much better it took a month to get off the fentanyl and i am now use to the cymbalta which took a couplle weeks took half a dose first then full 60 same with oxycodone ir. the doctor told me and is correct the long acting pain meds are way more addittive and dumb you. alot of pain is in our heads and i have degenreative disc disease, siatticca in both legs, ostio arthritis, a buldging disc and fibromilagya and scolious and more so i am not in just a little pain but alot. and i am holding at a 3 most days not with meds i am on and i can think i am happy and i owe it to my doctor getting me off and myself wanting to be off the fentanyl.

wow...i would always agree not to be on meds at all..but when ur pain is so bad that it has u crying in fetal position, rolling on the bed and it doens't ever go away then I must disagree....I'd rather be dead then live with that pain..but since I don't want to kill myself and I have a disabled husband I need to care for then the next best choice is at least some kinda of pain management...even if my head is in some kind of a fog..but...if u control it is much as possible..don't take more then u really need...with Gods help u can still get through without feeling like a walking zombie.

You should try Cymbalta. I had a plate and screws put in my neck and the pain was awful. They had me on Percocet. The Cymbalta works better than a pain pill for me. It took a month but it was worth it! Hope all works out for you.

OxyContin contains the narcotic ingredient in an extended release form the name OxyContin means oxycodone continuous release, you can also get oxycodone as an immediate release called oxycodone IR. the IR version comes in 5,10,15,20,&30 mg doses the extended release comes in 10,20,30,40,60,&80 mg doses. The extended release gives you the specified dose over a 12 hour period where the IR gives you the specified dose all at once. I take oxy 30's IR 5 times a day for a fractured spine and broken sacrum. I've been on it now for about 1 year. I used to take the OxyContin but it doesn't work as well for me. Also OxyContin is the brand name made by Purdue pharma. Hope this helps clarify your question

From what I am reading it sounds like the pain specialist you are going to is a drug dealer. There are some doctors that only have cash patients and will write them for large amounts of pain pills and whatever else they want solely on their cash payment and not based on true medical need. Due to a rare incurable disease I see a pain specialist that is very cautious, becuase of how addicting these medications are. I would highly recommend you not continue to see this doctor; from what you have said, it does not sound as if he has your best interests in mind. My husband saw one of these "pain specialists" after a motorcycle injury and ended up in rehab for a very serious addiction. You have been very smart for not taking all of the medications as prescribed, but you are paying a doctor to give you poor medical advice. Good luck and you should be very proud of yourself for realizing this doctor was very wrong!
