Common Questions and Answers about Oxycodone and driving

oxycontin

Avatar n tn Hi the exact same thing happened to me ..... My buddy was driving me home and we were doing nitrous and got in a car accident and I didn't go to the hospital for 5 days til the pain was so bad I had to go to the ER and I found out I had 5 cracked ribs and 3 bruised. Been the worst weeks ever. I'm on week 5 and they gave me 30 mg of oxycodone ir to take 6 times a day. So I get 120 pills every 2 weeks and the pain only goes away for like hours.
Avatar n tn I am pleased to have found this forum although it was quite by accident. The compassion certainly shows through all the posts I have read. So that said, I would love some feedback and clarification on withdrawal symptoms and weaning. My history: I am a 52 year old woman with Fibro and disk generative disease. I never took even so much as an aspirin my whole life until 4 years ago when I was prescribed Oxycodone for my conditions which are particularly severe and debilitating at time.
Avatar n tn ve tried gabapentin several times in addition to being on oxycontin and oxycodone (and some other meds at the same time.) I did find it helped with the pain but I had a bad side effect in that it made me slur my words (to the point people thought I was drunk and I don't drink.) Also, you cannot stop it cold turkey due to a seizure risk but it's not like you have withdrawals like you do with narcotics. I would also make sure you see how it affects you before driving.
5341133 tn?1372011906 I'm only 7days in off oxycodone due to a couple back surgeries and my back is killing me. I'm feeling every little ache it's driving me crazy. I'm starting to get real fidgeting. I did take a Xanax last night and slept good. I got up took a little walk today to move around. Funny thing is that's why I started taking the oxycodone (by rx) because I was so scared of being in pain.
Avatar f tn I'm new here because I have been taking oxycodone due to knee surgery. I am taking 3--15 mg a day, that's what I thought but my husband corrected me on that because after my last surgery the dr. changed it to 30mg a day and told me to break it in half. Green or blue pills--I wasn't paying much attention becuase I was trying to get mobile again and off the crutches. I'm walking on my own and off all other medicine. The dr.

433485 tn?1321813390 Hi Sue what is Oxycodone? Do you get it from the doctors? I too have chronic gastritis and it is agony on flare ups. I take Pantoprazole,Gaviscon and I can take Sucralfate. They don,t do much though. Its really awful isn,t it I hope you find relief for your pain too.
Avatar f tn I had my gallbladder removed Wednesday and have been on Oxycodone since Wednesday night. For some reason it started affecting my sleep yesterday. I tried laying down for a nap but could not sleep. I slept an hour or two last night. When I try to go to sleep my thoughts start racing and I just cant sleep. I really could use some sleep. Help.
537731 tn?1268265286 Anyway Dr gives me a medicine i inject B12 weird-and gives me talwin nx- for pain to take with my oxycodone to help my pain more and tells me if i go to pain clinic and the call him he will prescribe what they say. I am confused this talwin has naloxone in it- i am about to research it but i believe that is what they use to reverse overdose effects.
Avatar f tn Sorry I missed one part of your question. Backhurtz is correct that the doctor is giving you dilaudid to take instead of the Oxycodone. That being said, you might want to call and ask what he or she wants you to do if they were not clear about it. Most times when I change meds my doctor gives me a written plan that entails reducing the drug I was on while at the same time increasing the drug he now wants me to take until I am completely switched over to the new drug.
Avatar m tn I have had pain in my right shoulder going down my right arm and numbness in my thumb, its been happening about 2 weeks now and doesn't seem to be getting any better.
Avatar f tn ve suffered with chronic fatigue for the last 20 years, spent thousands on pills and potions but then I started having back pain and was given oxycodone. However this seems to help my fatigue and can be like a normal human with energy. I've had very bad days with oxycodone so wanted to know if there's something similar that I could take without having to use oxycodone? Or is it the oxycodone that's giving me the energy.
Avatar n tn just the opiate and some other minor additives. For me there is no differnce between a 10mg oxycodone or a 10/500mg percocet even though they are both oxycodone. So yeah.... a 5/500mg vicoden is probably down on the list where an 80mg oxycodone is at the top. It also depends on how many are prescribed at whatever time interval because most addicts do not stick to their presctiption such as myself.
Avatar m tn Thats about all that has happened even worse with the oxycodone, and I also take ativan for anxiety but with them combined i can't stay awake to save my life thanks again
Avatar f tn I wonder if a semi synthetic pill like oxycodone, instead of codeine and morphine would be a better euphoriant for the dysphoria I feel inside from hurting piercings. Also I wonder if the poppy seed tea is adding to the hemorrhaging because of excess body fluids being pressurized into my body for later expelling. I bet a semi synthetic like oxycodone would be the best, maybe oxymorphone? Maybe if I make the poppy seed tea into a resin to take as a pill, that might help.
Avatar m tn cant obtain gabapentin anymore and would like to transfer to oxycodone 120mg daily as a substitute for buprenorphine and gabapentin.I would like to know is such change possible.
Avatar m tn Not sure if you are talking about oxycontin or oxycodone pills in various mixes and forms. Either way, oxycontin and percoccet have the narcotic oxycodone in it. Oxycontin is pure oxycodone in a time release form while percoccet is a mix of oxycodone and another OTC pain reliever. Oxycodone is a stronger narcotic then the narcotic in vicodin which is hydrocodone. Both will cause WD. The WD from oxycodone was always much worse for me then hydrocodone but some say it's the same.
Avatar f tn Here recently my back pain has been so severe I cant walk or get out of bed. My OB doctor prescribed me Tylenol With Codiene 30 mg tablets and than Oxycodone 5 mg tablets. I took my Tylenol with Codiene 30mg tablets for my pain because I couldn't sleep. Than 45 minutes later I took my oxycodone 5mg tablets. I had forgot I took my Tylenol with Codiene prior to taking my oxycodone. Will taking both of them harm my baby?? I'm in nervous wreck.
1144050 tn?1261292610 Hi everyone!! I'm about 6 wks. pregnant and I'm taking 15 mg oxycodone 4 times a day for arthritis in my back and knees. I wanted to know on that amount everyday will it cause birth defects or harm to my baby in anyway??? I read on Safe Fetus.com that it just sucreets into your breast milk but that it has no adverse affects on the fetus is this true??? Any help would be appreciated, I'm a new mommy and I'm worried if I might be hurting my baby!!
Avatar m tn t mentioned what your specific reasons are for wanted to quit the oxycodone. These reasons will be what motivates you, so you need to do a cons list and use it in your detox.
Avatar f tn On 10/13, I had total knee replacement. They put me on lots of pain meds including morphine, percocet and oxycontin. I am home and have to go to PT twice weekly which is quite painful. I went to my surgeon on 11/2 and he said to wean off of oxycontin and oxycodone. He didn't explain how to go about that. My husband cut the oxycontin in half and I took that once at night and once in the morning for 3 days.
Avatar m tn About a week ago I had to get an alcohol injection in my foot for a nerve (neuroma), and have to go get another one on Thursday. I have also been given oxycodone for an injury I recently had. I know that you cannot drink alcohol and take pain killers, but is this the same thing? Will the injection / pain killer interact with each other?
1778305 tn?1314483931 Hi! I'm 32 years old and 6 weeks pregnant. My dr has me on 5mg oxycodone 5-6 times a day for degenerative disc in my neck. I've been on this medication for 3.5 years. I know this medication shouldn't be used in late pregnancy because the risk of withdrawal is very high. I'm so worried that although my dr says this med isn't hurting my baby...it is. Any real life stories or advise would be greatly appreciated. Please don't judge me and leave unhelpful comments at the door.
