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

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 would rather have one 30 mg instant release oxycodone than three time release oxycodone time release are way over rated instant release are way better.i get by with two ir a day where i was having to take 3 time release a day.but its your choice thats just my opinion.be careful taking this med very addicting.

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.

I have multiple conditions degenerative disc, spinal stenosis, fibromyalgia, arthritis, lupus, fused neck and failed shoulder surgery. I've been on pain medication for a long time. One response says get off them and be coherent. That's great if it works for him. I knows myself as others would be in too much daily pain. My pain medication is fentanyl patch 100, oxycodone 30g m release 2/8 hrs - 6/day and Diliadud 8 mg PM. Honestly when I'm in severe pain they really don't help. However I'm not addicted or incoherent either. If my Rx was late, which it has I suffer no withdrawal effects. That being said I couldn't imagine functioning daily by dropping all pain medication as the one reader stated. My only advice is be sure that you have a concerned yet cautious pain mgmt dr.

I am a retired nurse and a patient who has on pain medication by a pain manegment Dr. for over 10 years . I hope this information helps. Oxycontin is a cestained release medication that gives releases medication over a period of time (usually 12 hours). Oxycodone ( percocet). Is a instant release medication. It is very normal to be on both the long acting and then the short acting for break thrpugh pain. Some medications are based on weight pain medication is not one of those cases. It usualy depends on tolerance and pain level, most Dr's do like to start of on a smaler dose and move up as needed

Rock on Freddy I am a recovering pill lover and have been clean for 19 months until a total knee on 7/10/14 I am proud to say 3 days on percoc I have stopped. That warm fuzzy feeling wasn't the same I wanted to puke. My best pain meds are the green ones I grow

So "Cherrie" doesn't like Oxycontin. For me, they have been a lifesaver (literally) for 15 years. I went from spending my days huddled under heating pads in a recliner to living a life that is much closer to "normal", without the constant agony and thoughts of suicide. Everyone responds differently, it's true, but try things for yourself. Don't assume that what the pain reliever that was "bad" for one person won't end up being the medication that saves your life.

Highly addictive stuff. Seen plenty of good people ruin their lives by accident just doing what the doctor ordered. It's all about money. People dont want to hear it but Physical therapy is the best way to reduce pain. Im in the field. I know plenty of research and techniques

States have different rules for some reason. For instance, in NC and Oregon you can get 180 pain pills, I think. Here in CA it's a max of 120. Or so the doctors say. I wish I had a good answer for you as I certainly empathize. I'm in CA and I asked if I could have something stronger for horrendous pain (not to get high btw) than hydrocodone. Ever since I asked, I've now been labeled a "drug seeker." I'm a 62 yo white female, fwiw. I have stage 4 cancer along with many other autoimmune issues, so I certainly empathize with your dilemma.

I wish you and your boyfriend the very best.

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.

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
