Ask your doctor if methadone is a alternative for you. My husband takes this instead of the oxy and works far better for his pain, but not all doctors are willing to prescribe this. Good Luck

We have had many posts with similar complaints about the new Oxycontin formulation, on top of the odd side effects, many also say that it is not as effective for pain.

I am very sorry to read of what you are going through.

As to alternatives, other than that which Tyna already mentioned, there are some other time released products on the market that you could ask your doctor about.

One that is very effective would be Morphine, it is not as strong as Oxycodone, so your dose would have to be figured according, but there is both a name brand and time released version of MS Contin.

There are also patches available that contain the active ingredient Fentanyl, it is over 80 times stronger than Morphine and they are time released, as well. The name brand for them is Duragesic, though the generic is also available.

Are there any questions or comments?
