Avatar f tn Could someone please tell me what the actual with drawal affects are of going straight off Oxycontin and how long does it take to get out of your system. I have seen the with drawal of people that have slowly cut down but not someone who actually has to give up straight away. She is devistated and in so much pain. She is only allowed Panadine forte and Nurofen plus which does nothing.
Avatar f tn Hi emmaless, Am I reading your post correctly that you were taking 80 mg of Oxycontin 3x per day and 40 mg of Oxycontin 3x per day? If yes, keep reading...LOL. I thought you wrote that you were taking 80 mg and 40mg total of Oxycontin per day. That is why my post to your other thread stated that you were on more medicine through Fentanyl than through Oxycontin. That is not the case if you taking the 80 mg and the 40 mg 3x per day. That is 120 mg x 3 or 360 mg of Oxycontin per day vs.

Avatar f tn Then, 2-3 years ago, I fell down some stairs, and now I have sciatica in my left leg. Yay clumsiness! So, I have a couple of herniated discs, some arthritis, plus which, the sciatica. Six years ago, I decided to try pain management. I was prescribed 30mg Roxicodone 4x a day, then about a year later put on OxyContin 80mg 2x a day, with the Roxicodone for BT. Wow.
Avatar f tn also i am worried about it being in the babies system when i give birth can someone please tell me how long it stays in the babies system please.
Avatar n tn Since I had my son, I was prescribed percs.. I had those for about a month and moved onto methadones, to oxycontin.. Its been about four and a half months and I am ready to be done. I am curious to see how bad withdrawal will be. I have gone days here and there without using.. Only took 40 mg methadone a day, and if I didn't have that 80mg of Oxycontin... Has anyone gone through withdrawal after this short of time?
Avatar m tn Hi, I went to my doc said I had withdrawal from stopping hydrochodone (on day 5) and so she prescribed me 10 mgs of oxycontin 12 hour release. I took it for 2 days felt a bit better but stopped. Doesn't this seem like one evil for another?
Avatar f tn t believe me. They believe that a small amount of the virus stays in your body forever. I agree with them. Some do not. You will never get every doctor to agree on every fact about this virus. Here's the bottom line: Is she a virgin? Did she get the vaccine before she started to have sex? Has she slept (safe sex or not) with more than 4 guys in her life? If she has slept around, then she's been exposed to it too. If you are going to tell her, let her know the stats.
Avatar f tn t remember what it was though) and after being in pain for days with no relief, in only a few hours after taking the 1st dose of the new drug the pain started easing and was almost completely gone after another dose. A pain specialist is a great idea, they might try different types of painkillers to relieve the pain you are in.

The Riba in combination with the Pegasys Inf, makes the half life of the Inf extended though...You should ask your Doctor, and there is also some good threads on here about.
Avatar m tn radius of curviture of cornea, axial length of eye and anterior chamber depth, A constant of the IOL and a modification of that constant by the surgeon's previous results. Our practice does not do ORA so we have no experience with it. There are no controlled studies that show it is worth the extra expense. If a surgeon has bought ORA he/she wants to use it as much as possible to pay for it.
Avatar f tn The length and severity of depression is different for everyone. It has a lot to do with how long you were abusing and at what dosage. I see that you were only on them for 4-5 months and at a relatively low dose, which means a faster recovery for you. Are you currently on any antidepressants? If not, you may want to consult a Doctor and discuss your depression treatment options. I also recommend you start attending NA meetings.
Avatar f tn It has been known for several years that how quickly you clear the virus once you start treatment is highly predictive of your chance of success. If you are genotype 1 and you clear the virus in four weeks you have a very high chance of a sustained viral response (SVR). If you clear between 12 and 24 weeks your chances are much much lower.
Avatar f tn t just a way for the makers of oxycontin to have a new med patent to keep exclusive rights to for whatever the time length they get to keep the drug formula to themselves for? And is the ingredient that makes the pills tamper proof considered an" inactive ingredient" which to my understanding is somehow not importan . Personaly I never have been a fan of the whole Oxycontin craze.. I have never found it to be that effective for pain control.
Avatar n tn Hi, I have some questions regarding weening off of oxycontin... In my previous posts, I stated that I was going to start suboxone... but I really don't want to do that, and get hooked on that. So here is my next gameplan: I take 240mg of oxycontin per day, 3 times a day. Starting today, I am going to take just 1 80mg tablet, 3 times a day. I want to see what my body will do. Here is my question: If I decide to go cold turkey and stop altogether, I will use the thomas recipe...
Avatar n tn To repeat. This is not an issue. End of story.
Avatar f tn t have a good plan on tapering but I do know that Oxycontin comes in 20 mg, 15 mg and 10 mg. Personally, I would do the oxycontin first, but that is just me. See if your doc can help you come up with a plan and help. I know you need to stabilize from one taper before starting the next one or at least I should have. I did do some tapering, but the length you have been on the pills and if it is for chronic pain all play into this.
575947 tn?1220742187 My doctor informed me recently that it is high time I was taken off OxyContin in favour of something somewhat different, coupled with pretty much constant supervision from the local pain clinic. Today whilst attending a Dr's appointment I was informed by him that the most likely rout that wil be taken with me to kick the Oxy will be Methadone.
Avatar m tn You need to be so many hours free of the narcotic in your case oxy, and be in a certain state of withdrawals, otherwise you'll find yourself in real trouble. Also, from what I understand, suboxone is a program, not just a pill. And if you stay on it past a certain length of time, you'll have another dependence, if not addiction. My understanding is suboxone is extremely hard to get off of. Do you have anyone to help you through this? Keep checking in here.
Avatar m tn It started at 40 mg of hydrocodone per day up to 40mg of oxycontin, 60mg of morphine, and about 50mg of oxycodone ir as needed. I'd say around 7 years total and all prescribed by my MD. As for the 24mg of suboxone per day it was very unusual for me to take that much and looking back it was probably to help with anxiety/panic attacks. I'm not completely withdrawl free but this is NOTHING like withdrawling from the oxy or morphine.
Avatar n tn sub is for those on high quantity doses for an extended length of time that can not quyit on their own...fear of wd can paralyze u..dont jump into deeper doo doo than u r in now No one here would recommend sub for a 3-4 month oxy habit unless it is a relapse and u have tried everything else...
Avatar m tn thanks for the response and i do understand what you are saying. I could have been more clear. I am not interested in the "gel" thing whatever it is. My sister can't stand the strength and length of the longer one and i wondered if it was possible to take it in smaller doses and how to do that. This is what the dr wants her on but a whole one makes her sick to the stomach. Why can't you just make pieces---smaller amts that would be safe??? Is that clearer jeph?
Avatar f tn I was reading up the effects of crushing up the oxys and it read that doin so would or could result in an overdose.. i am in the process of tapering off... i was just woundering just for peice of mind what the dose would have to be to actually overdose... i am currently on 120mgs a day and dropping.. i am scared a night sometimes to fall asleep do to respitorie depression.. thanks any feedback would be appriciated.
Avatar m tn m gonna start off slow and just apply it overnight for 8 hours for 10 days. Of course if the skin gets irritated ill stop. Ill repost to this in a couple of weeks. Ahhh I wish there was just a pill you took and this all went away. Can I get an amen!?
