Oxycontin Changes

I do not take oxycontin anymore n haven't for past 3 yrs.although my mother does for her terrible pain issues, she is 64.
One day she came to she came me and said, "Donna I don't feel , like I'm withdrawing and my pain is level is really high. So we went a looked at her meds. We found that some didn't look like her usual 80mg. We at first thought that the pharmacy made a mistake, so I checked drugs.com and found they were new. Pharma perdue has made these new oxy's that are a rip off to insurance companies. They are still outrageously priced but do not work properly. They may work for new users but not old ones.I had made a switch sometime ago to opana, so I got my switched over. Well they work great for me but I find that they do not last 12 hours. So, I'm getting 3 a day. Mom made the switch but they don't work as well for her. Mostly they make her more drowsy. So I'm not sure what she's gonna do. She is getting an injection in a few days. That may lower her pain, but they've never helped before. So, where do patients go from here? Because of those who abusers, its taken the once well working med to zero now! Thanks abusers! For making us pain sufferers have be miserable!
If you dopers want to do drugs, just go do your herion and leave our meds alone!
Doctors n drug manufactures please stop changing our meds. Drug addicts will always find dope!but legitimate pain patients shouldn't have to suffer b/c of them. I will fight for our rights n continue to advocate for us.
My answer is yes new oxycontin OP sucks!!!!!!! Not giving pharma our money anymore!
