oxycontin

Avatar n tn I attended my ex's one time employee's funeral this past December. He had HepC, (tx relapser) diabetes and had had surgery on his tongue which for some reason did not heal properly and it was painful. I know he had neuropathy...from diabetes or HepC, I don't know. He also was an active alcoholic 41 yo. He saw a pain management team who had him on highest dose oxycontin, dialaudid, morphine (he had scripts for all at the same time!!!!).
Avatar f tn I am off all med except zofran oxycontin and a little vicodin. The pregnany has been going well. I have a significant amount of pain daily, quite a bit of nausea, and my energy is non existant, but the baby is healthy and developing just fine. I have had a little more frequent, and earlier sqreening (especially for gestational diabetes) than the average pregnant woman, but all that matters is that the baby is healthy and we are both safe.
Avatar f tn I have been clean from all drugs since june, but prior to june I was on methadone for about 4 years (I feel disgusted saying that). Prior to that I was abusing oxycontin daily for 3 years. I am 24 years old. I am not overwieght, nor do I have diabetes in my immediate family, but I am concerned that I may have developed insulin resistance or that my hormones might have been very adversely affected by the drugs I was on for the past 7 years.
Avatar f tn So, I have been taking oxycontin 20 mg bid and percocet 10 mg for prn. I personally feel this is a lot. This does help my pain, but I am starting to feel disconnected. Even depressed, maybe that is just from being in pain all the time or maybe its the narcos. So I weaned myself off of these drugs and have had nothing for a week. Now, granted I feel like crap but everyday I feel better.
Avatar m tn The hospital staff said I neede to stop all blood thinnig drugs (aspirin, fish oil, advil, etc) but did not say anything about pain mends (Oxycontin 4mg 2x day and Norco for the breakthrough pain (10 - 50 mg per day depending) Can I take the pain meds right up to the surgery?
5312547 tn?1367094865 t as strong and also has acetominophen in it so make sure not to take Tylenol in any other form. Oxycodone and OxyContin are essentially the same drug and have no Tylenol in them. OxyContin is a time relealse and is usually taken twice a day. Usuallymanother med is given for breakthrough pain. All of these drugs will case physical dependence and in some people can lead to addiction.
Avatar f tn t know any specific correlations with crack and diabetes (try googling it) but Type 2 diabetes is about taking care of yourself, diet, exercise and meds. He is highly unlikely to do this when he is high and doesn't care about his own life. If you want to scare him a bit tell him about diabetic complications such as blindness and amputations. But the bottom line is he needs treatment....yesterday.
Avatar f tn m right and these headaches are being caused by the analgesics the only solution I see here is to somehow wean totally off the oxycontin. The bone and muscle pain is unbearable and I cannot walk without the oxycontin but the headaches incapacitate me too. I don't want to simply exist. I want to participate in life.
874521 tn?1424116797 ) of the hips and DDD disease of the lower spine. I have terrible leg and thigh pain and take gabapentin for the neuropathy..this helps some..some days more than others. I have noticed when I take my celebrex(try not to use)..that the pain in my hips of course is less but also the thigh pain...so what I'm wondering does the inflamation in the hip joints radiate to the thighs????? this pain(thighs) somedays is excruciating. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn a year later today my back and shoulders and chest are covered wit what big bumps. . ? ive seen doctors and a derm.,but they all just say its really bad acne,but i know its something more. . .help please?
Avatar m tn currently on 4 diabetes meds, oxycontin,neurontin, BP and cholesterol meds . all of which they know about and have documented. After i tested positive i was in shock and was looked at as scum9 even though i've been there for 3 years with NO PRIOR PROBLEMS. I seriously have no idea what happened. she stated that they were going to send it to the lab to get further checked out. In the mean time she gave me the usual meds for 10 days as opposed to the usual 30 days.
Avatar f tn 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. When I thought about the next steps to get off the oxycodone, I thought to call the pharmacy for advice.
356518 tn?1322263642 I have to be honest with you I have not taken pure oxycontin, however I have taken percocet 7.5/350 and have not had to return to my dr. Now maybe it is different for pure oxycontin. Now my dr is putting my on Kadian and I don't really feel that I will have problems getting it. Now that is my dr.
Avatar m tn Accidentally overdosed on oxycontin. Was in alot of pain and took too many. Coming down from the high dose to my usual dose was horrendous. It was a week from hell. Had alot of anxiety, restlessness and agitation. Also was vomiting alot. Having a bad urinary infection didnt help matters. Couldn't sit still. Had to be on the move all the time. Couldn't eat, sleep. bath, shave or brush my teeth. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Avatar f tn I take the meds for real pain, and ran out of the percocet, because I try not to take as much oxycontin, becuase it makes me tired and gives me a headache. Any ideas?
2991133 tn?1340046931 my doc has me on Xanax 1mg and Oxycontin 30mg. every once in a while, I will take a pain pill then shortly there after I am having an anxiety attack. will it hurt to take both of my meds close together? this doesn't happen often. when I was on Oxycontin 15mg it didn't bother me.
Avatar m tn Over a year ago I was on very doses of Hydromorphone (dilaudid) and Oxycontin. I had been on these meds for over four years and they just stopped working and the side effects were awful.. My doctors weaned me off very slowly and I went of of the meds for about two months. I was then restarted at only 10 mg of oxycontin twice a day and it provided relief again. This had since been upped to 20 mg. which helps quite a bit.
Avatar n tn I had a few questions about Headaches and taking Oxycontin. My ex-husband just checked into the Diamond Headache Clinic and I was wondering how long it will take to get him off of this medication. What if he is not honest about his dosage amount? Will they be able to tell if he he isn't telling them the truth? Also, can Oxycodon (usage after taking for 5 years and being at a dosage that is 4-5 pills a day) affect your judgement and personality? What are additional ong term affects?
429155 tn?1205673264 6 days on and no sleep through OXYCONTIN C/T, anybody any idea how long this lasts, I am so tired, even with a S/Pill got only 1 hour, just this the restless legs, and sneezes to get through now, otherwise feel much better. David.
574735 tn?1232930123 I have a medical condition which requires me to take 40ml of Oxycontin twice a day, and 10ml of Oxycodone for breakthrough pain every four hours. I am concerned about becoming addicted to this drug. How can I wean myself even though I still need them for pain? Should I just start taking them as needed?
Avatar n tn Due to my health, I was on oxycontin and percocet for the last 11 years and I was on both while pregnant with my two children who are 8 and three. With my son, when he was born, he was watched carefullly for withdrawals and same with my daughter but I was also on other meds as well.
Avatar f tn With that being said, my family member decided to get off the pain pills and has been able to so far control her pain with diet and exercise. She lost a lot of weight, began eating healthy and exercising. How old are you? How progressed is your disease? If you do decide to quit, I urge you to get with your pain management doctor to devise a taper plan and possibly try some non narcotic things to keep your pain under control.
Avatar m tn 5/325 percocet and 10 mg oxycontin i still have some of both. i am down to 1 percocet a day (1/2 in mid am and 1/2 mid pm) and 1 oxy at night. At what point should i just stop? Thanks for any input this is a great site!
Avatar n tn Hopefully you will get back to normal. If not go and see your doctor and tell him what you have done. Narcotics will reduce your sex drive in a big way.
