oxycontin

Avatar f tn I live in WA state and have been prescribed Oxycodone by my Dr twice. Each time I went to get the prescriptions filled I was told that they were out of it and it was on back order due to some problem with the manufacturer. I went to 3 different pharmacies and got the same story. Is there something I should know here? Also both prescriptions were subsituted with Hydrocodone which contain acetaminophen. Due to my condition I am not supposed to take anything containing acetaminophen.
Avatar f tn I have been on Oxycodone 30 mg 6 pills a day for 8 months. I want to go off of it but I don't know how to do it safely. I get so anxious when i miss a pill and start to sweat. I am not working right now so my pain seems to be there all the time. What do I do? If I go off it cold turkey what should I expect? If I should taper the doses how do I do that most effectively? Please help me.
Avatar n tn The fact is you won't feel that great for a little while yet. The good news is the more you get out and do stuff the more you take your mind off of what's going on. It's so hard to get up and get ready for work and drive there but once you do your mind will be occupied with work... Not pills or how you feel. Don't get me wrong...you will still feel physical effects at work but honestly it's better to be at work than at home where you will sit and think about it constantly.
Avatar f tn I've been on oxycodone for years for injured and deteriorating lumbar, thoracic and cervical discs. Currently I take 30 mg oxycodone 4 times daily (sometimes more depending on the day). This works very well for my pain and restores (mostly) my ability to perform daily activities. My problem as of late is sleep. My sleep is interrupted due to pain - it affects my being able to fall asleep sometimes and without doubt gets me out of bed BEFORE I am fully rested.
Avatar m tn Well its been a while since I've posted anything but with great news. I quit myself , my habit was about 200 dollars worth of em a week. I took 3 days off of work and locked myself in my house during hurricane sandy. I must commend all of you for helping people like me everyday. I wouldnt wish this on anyone. I havent slept since i quit iam on day 4 now. Iam pretty sure the worst is over but it consisted of crapping about 8 times every 6 hours...
Avatar f tn Have gotten addicted to oxycodone for about 10 months now. When I called for a refill my doc would not refill the script. This weekend and still I am going through withdrawal. Today (3/4/08) makes day 5. How long does this goes on? Managed to sleep one night. Seems night is the worst time for me. That is when I would wake up every 2 hours and take 2 until about 6:00 am. My arms are crazy. No sweating today. Just sore arms.
Avatar n tn I have been taking hydrocodone for about 3 years and for the last year have been taking Oxycodone. I really want to stop, but when I don't take the oxy, I get the sweats and chills and my body hurts so bad. I take about 160mg a day. My question is, are these symptoms of withdrawl? and How long will this last?

Avatar f tn With the recent news on Tylenol I won't take it now drink a lil caffeine and whole bunch of water then lay down with a cold compress
Avatar f tn NOT oxymorphone dear, oxycodone. Oxycontin has the sole active ingredient oxycodone, Perocet has both oxycodone and acetaminophen...hence the "cet" suffix. Theres also Percoden which is oxycodone and asprin. Oxymorphone is a totally different drug 2x the strenth of oxycodone.
5341133 tn?1372011906 I'm 7 months clean for a 90-150mg oxycodone a day addiction. I spotted cold turkey. It took me 3-4 attempts before I finally called it quits for good. The first week is hell no sleep no appetite for the first few days. Than comes the month long drag thinking life's not easy or you don't know how to feel normal.l, well that's because your not used to feeling normal.
Avatar f tn So she switched me back to the oxycodone. Now I have 15 mg. oxycodone four times a day as needed. I started back on it yesterday and so far no hot flashes!!! I'm hoping we'll be able to leave the medications alone for a while now. Wishing everyone a happy and safe 4th of July!!!
Avatar n tn Hello, I am currently in my second day of cold turkey detox from the oxycodone 5/325. i was taking about 6 pills a day for about 2 months have recently run out. My question is if anyone has experienced the excessive diarhea? All the other symptoms are bearable, sweats arent too bad and can sllep with aids, yet I am on the toilet every 15-30min for the last two days. Is there anyone that knows how long this may last? The imodium doesnt seem to help or the pepto.
Avatar n tn Vicoden is a brand name for oxycodone with acetaminophen. Oxycontin is a brand name for controlled release oxycodone. Same opioid. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... Not sure about the white packets though. You can order testing kits online - just look up 'field drug tests'. But you might as well just ask him what it is instead of going through all that. If he won't be honest about it with you, there's not much you can do in any case.
Avatar f tn I have been taking oxycodone for only 3 days 20 mg 1st day 30 mg 2nd day and 40mg today.
Avatar n tn I don't have personal experience with Sub, but on this site you'll get plenty of action on this question. My answer is: never use an opiate to stop an opiate. Your withdrawal will keep going on and on. You're in a good position to stop right now. You're already into it and 2 days have gone by. Thats good news. You'll feel sick for a period of time, length depending on how much oxy you've been on, but the rewards of going through with this are wonderful.
29837 tn?1414534648 Taken Oxycodone 30mg for about a month now. Does hardly anything to quell the enormous back pain I have. Can crushing it and drinking it with apple juice make a difference? Will it work faster?
1855076 tn?1337115303 I know I'm being a little repetitious but I can't help it! I am feeling like I have a new life. For nearly 5 years every minute of every day was consumed with RSD and nerve pain. It also seemed to cause my other pain (from fibromyalgia, old herniated disk and arthritis) to also escalate. The doctor still isn't sure why I've suddenly got this reduction in pain and says we may never know. She still says we can't be sure if it's permanent.
725248 tn?1316162245 s every 48 hours. For break through pain I am taking 15mg oxycodone 4x a day and 5mg valium 2x a day. The problem is its not working. My doctor made mention of trying something different next month. What out there is stronger then the fentanly?? Its getting beyond frustrating and now starting to become depressing that I can't find any relief. So what other long lasting pain med is out there??
Avatar f tn Hi behumble I have good news and bad news. First the good news . It will get better each day you dont use. I took vics oxy hydro whatever I could for 8 years . I was taking 100 mgs a day when I stopped. The first time I went through wds it took about 5 days of not using before I starting believing that I would make it. I used a few pills after 2 weeks and went right back into wds again. Thats the bad news you are not on day 8 of withdrawal . You are on day 1 because you used yesterday.
Avatar m tn Awesome news! Good you are doing it together but important to stay with the plan. I worry if one of you slip the other one will too, Having said that you're doing great! So was that oxycontin or oxycodone?
Avatar m tn I'm about to have an artificial disc replacement in my neck. I've had cervical and lumbar fusion and am glad I did. (don't know why so many are afraid of surgeries). I know doctors are leery about giving pain meds to patients, as well they should be, but there are instances where it's necessary. My question is why do I get nausious when I take hydrocodone and not when I've taken oxycodone? I asked an er doctor for oxycodone instead of hydrocone and told him why.
