Oxicodone And Oramorph
UpdatedI have scoliosis and 5 slipped discs L1-L5 and c1 which is causing me more bother. Went to pain clinic and he asked where is most of your pain and I replied at the moment its a burning pain so its different. He didnt have any notes and after giving him a list of medication he said oh you take 60mg of oramorph and dihydacodeine. He said tha he was going to start me on oxicodone. What im worried about is ive taken oramorph for 6 years and now he is changing me. Im worried that the oxicodone wont be as strong as the 60mg of oramorph I take twice a day. Does anyone know if this is te right move to manage my pain. I dont want to go from being able to get about to being housebound due to pain.

Hello, Tanya! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain.
The Oxycodone is actually one and a half times stronger than the Oramorph, so it should actually help you get better pain relief.
The FDA classifies this medication as 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.
What dosage has he suggested?
