Medication Increase

I have been on 15 milligram oxycodone instant release for almost a year I've got to where there are not working as well as they were in the beginning I need an increase to the 30's and my doctor has me on methadone I don't understand why he has me on methadone for breakthrough and opiates at the sametime I would rather him give me something else for breakthrough like a 30 milligram oxycodone to help with my breakthrough and take me out to methadone

Hello, Vince! How are you?

Methadone is also an opiate that treats pain very well for many people, so it's in the same drug class as the Oxycodone.

And why do you want to just suddenly double your Oxycodone? It would be better to increase it in smaller increments, to prolong the amount of time it takes you to develop a tolerance to it.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
