Honey im so sorry you are going thrust all your pain. Im groom Mo. and am on30mgOxies one every3hrs. See if your family physician if he can prescribe you some Suboxone.If he wont write you a script for Oxies. My family physician is the one who writes my scripts for my Oxies. He is a great Dr. Its a damn shame that because of all these druggies that misuse them that we have to pay for their mistakes.I wish you luck. Have a blessed day and God bless

Oxycodone 30mg doesn't have acetaminophen and is immediate release, the OxyContin is extended release or long acting while oxycodone is a short acting medicine, so OxyContin will work longer at controlling your pain than the oxycodone

I know for a fact you can get more than 120 in CA. I was getting 240 15mg IR oxy's a month and now I'm currently getting 150 30mg IR Oxy's a month. Your doctor or the office may have a limit of 120 a month and that's around the maximum daily morphine equivalent set by the government. So that may be why. I'm blessed with the most awesome doctor. He listens to me and knows I'm not just a junky trying to feel high and I would never sell my pills.

Wow Myla that's 300 mgs a day!!! No honey! Not sure how old this post is but I felt compelled to write you! Plus the diet and depression pills?! 300 mgs. Unreal. You need to switch doctors for sure. He's setting you up to freaking die! Honey please seek help from a different doctor. In my prayers. God bless

Oxycodone is tylenol with codeine and oxycontin is a much powerful pain reliever without tylenol, depending on the milligram.

Yes, you should go to a pain management doctor . You might need a referral from your your primary care physician.

Did you show this new doctor your previous records ? Did you discuss how long you had been on the other doctor's dosage ? I would keep on asking him to up your dosage and tell him that what he is prescribing you now isn't working at all ! Other than checking out of the area , then you might be stuck . However you could try anesthesiologist. They often specialize in pain management as well . Just Google them ! Good luck ! I know it's frustrating, I've been there before !
