oxycontin

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?
Avatar f tn Hi Everyone, I was just wondering if Norco, 10-325 is easier to withdraw from than Oxycontin 80mg. My friend was taking 2 oxycontin 80mg a day and told her doctor ( they were not prescribed) and she told the doctor that the only thing stopping her from quitting oxycontin was the horrible withdrawals. He put her on Norco and told her to wean down with those, and that going cold turkey off Norcos ( once she's weaned down to 5 a day) is easier than w/d from oxycontin.
725248 tn?1316162245 My pain doctor has me on 20mg oxycodone twice a day and up to 6-10/325 norco a day, prior to the oxycodone he had me on 15mg oxycontin twice a day. I am not getting any pain relief from the oxycontin or oxycodone, the norco does give me some pain relief, but am limited to 6 a day as to not damage my liver. What other long acting pain meds are out there??? I have an appointment to see my pain doctor next week, but would like to have some additional info when I go in to see him.
725248 tn?1316162245 I finally recieved a call from the psychologist, he will decide whether or not I am crazy or just addicted to the pain pills. Never have been to a psychologist before so I am kinda nervous. I have an appointment with my pain doctor on Monday and am going to ask if he will send me in for a catscan with dye and see if that shows anything more then the MRI's did. Right now they have me on 15mg oxycontin twice a day and 6- 10/325mg norco and 5mg valium.

917008 tn?1251223979 This is a re-posting of a thread that resurfaced today. Wasn't my question, but there's been a bit of activity on the old thread ... see the older version for recent posts. Are hydromorphone (dilaudid) and oxymorphone (opana) addictive as oxycontin?
776363 tn?1237390379 Oxycontin, Morphine, Fentanyl and Methadone. In my opinion, I would start with the Oxycontin. It is easier to wean off of if you ever find yourself in a situation where you don't need it anymore. Remember, just be honest and tell him that you're not getting the relief from your meds at this point. Please take care and good luck with your appt.
1866508 tn?1333984613 t know, Percocet contains tylenol and oxycodone in immediate release form similar to the norco you take but much stronger. And Oxycontin is oxycodone in extended release form. There are also other long acting meds beside Oxycontin that you could look into such as Oxymorphone (Opana), Hydromorphone (Dilaudid), and Fentanyl which all have a potency that is greater than morphine. My appointment is Jan 3rd, I will let you know how it goes.
Avatar m tn I have had 3 back surgeries and have been on Norco 10/325 for about two years now. I started out taking 1 Norco 3 times daily. I now have to take 2 to 3 norco up to 3 times a day for the same relief. My question is that I was just perscribed Oxycontin 80 and am supposed to take 1 every 12 hours. I have not yet taken any of the Oxy for fear that 80 maybe to much. I do have a high tolerance for the norco but am kind of nervous about taking a whole oxy 80 because I have never taken them before.
Avatar n tn t know about oxycontin and methadone but i know about addiction. I will pray for you and i hope your symptoms get better soon.
Avatar m tn They prescribed oxycontin 20 mg and oxcycone 5mg.
501792 tn?1261111106 0 mm I found old medicine in the cabinet Norco 10/325 from November 2013 under my name and now I am taking Norco Plus oxyContin I am scared to death now I have horrible pain in my lower back what r the substitute For oxycontin I want to take one painkiller one time long time ago February 2013 my doctor gave me oxymorphone er 20 milligrams and I got mad at her I told her history that my mom got sick in the hospital when she had a operation she was throwing up and I was paranoid taking oxymorphone
Avatar f tn She hardly ever takes the breakthrough meds and when her doctor changed her oxycontin from 40mg to 80mg she still had most of a months supply. Last year I started taking her breakthrough meds along with my own. I was taking about 60mgs a day of the oxycodone which was all I could take without her running out. My norco ran out and I had a two week wait before I could fill it again. I started taking my wifes 40mg oxycontins since she wasn't using them anymore.
725248 tn?1316162245 Hi Chuck, I was on about the same doses of Oxycontin and Percocet as you--except I was on 40mg Oxycontin twice a day. I was taking the maximum number of percocet that I could for breakthrough, and I was getting no pain relief from any of it, mostly because I'd become tolerant to the medications. We switched my prescription to Hydromorph Contin and Dilaudid for breakthrough, and the pain relief is amazing for me, with minimal side effects. So, I have had great success with this change.
Avatar m tn Hello. I was recently diagnosed with inactive/latent tuberculosis and was given Isoniazid 300 mg to take for 6 months. At the clinic, they warned me that isoniazid is processed mainly by the liver and that drinking alcohol could cause liver damage in combination and should be avoided. I have no problem not drinking, but I take norco on a regular basis for chronic pain and I'm concerned that the acetaminophen in the norco's will combine with the isoniazid and cause severe liver damage.
Avatar f tn I have been averaging 3 tabs of 10/325 Norco a day. I take it for numerous reasons...spinal stenosis - but it helps all of my arthritis. I stopped 2 days ago and hurt all over...I do this even when on the meds sometimes but the meds will pull me up. If I increased to 4 a day I am fairly pain free. But my Dr. won't do that so I am trying to just stop. I have fibromyalgia and I started with 3 tabs of 7.
725248 tn?1316162245 Which by the way is not working very well at all. I am on 2-40mg oxycontin a day and 4-15mg oxycodone a day and 2-5mg valium a day. I see that Opana only comes in 5mg, 10mg, 20mg and 40mg. I wonder how opana compares to oxycontin???
Avatar n tn Hot showers, and things that you like to eat ,lots of fluids ,minimal asprin products,no tylenol PM ,sleep aids like that tend to drag you down even if you sleep on them,,try and keep occupied and realize this is temporary and will be gone in a few days.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Norco during that time and never had to take more than 6 in a day. My main pain medication is ibprofen 800, but my prescribed dosage for Norco is now 3 per day. My knee pain has been getting better and I have good days with my back that sometimes allow me to take only 1 Norco a day. But one of the odd things that seems to be happening concurrently is that I have been getting a runny nose and watery eyes on a very regular basis.
Avatar f tn Will clonidine help me with withdrawal ? I have had 5 operations on my hip and have been prescribed oxycontin and hydromorphine for over a year. I tried getting off them but can't do it as the symtoms are terrible..Will clonidine help me? My medical dr has prescribed them to me and I havent tried them yet as I need some input on them.
874521 tn?1424116797 My internist put me on norco 10/350 for the pain in my legs. The norco helped for a while, and then my tolerance took over. He then put me on oxy and that helped for a while. He now has me on Fentanyl patches and so far thy have been God sent. I hope that I was able to help in some way. Take care.
Avatar f tn If you are on a high med 40mg oxy/3x's day plus norco 3/4day and I have pain very badly but I dont want to do this anymore How long can it take to detox,I want to do it on my own , I stopped the oxy 3 weeks ago but are still taking the norco having a hard time but i hope this wont take forever ; I have a Autistic son and 2 other children i cant stay in bed forever please let me know how much longer
Avatar f tn I am getting ready to quit my habit that started with vicodin 5mg, 7.5mg, and 10mg then progressed to percocet 5mg and 10mg then oxycontin 40mg and 80mg and oxycodone 5mg, 10mg, 15mg, 30mg (basically anything I could get my hands on). Lately it has been primarially mscontin 30mg (orally), oxycontin 60mg (IV), and dilaudid 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg (IV). Of those three it has been Dilaudid 4mg that I favor because I can get it the easiest.
Avatar n tn My insurance quit paying for them this year and a script costs almost $600.00. I ran out and stopped. I upped my Norco intake to help w/ the detox, but it is still VERY rough. I am embarassed to tell anybody, my doc, family or friends that this happened to me again. I am just trying to get through the day. Tomorrow is the third day and hopefully will begin to improve some. Its amazing that I am still taking about 15 Norco a day and still suffering such withdrawals.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm a 26 yr old woman and have been diagnosed with IC for about 5 years now. Over the past year and a half I was taking Norco, then progressed to taking Norco & oxycontin. I was taking a lot each day bc I got addicted. I quit cold turkey 5 days ago & experienced terrible withdrawals. I decided I didn't want to feed my addiction anymore, so I wanted off the opiates. However, the opiates have seemed to be the only thing that has helped me manage my pain.
1264863 tn?1391118193 at 16 went back on the pain meds because i just couldnt take the pain and tried to start with lower dosed ones like nucynta 100mg, ultram taking 250mg at a time then went back to the 10mg norco moved back up to the 10mg percs then they added the 30mg oxycontin back it was just a horrible cycle well last october i had a bad flair up and was scared because my doctors didnt really communicate with me they just throw scripts at me well i found a good doctor who put me on 30mg ms-contin 3 times a da
217599 tn?1202850952 I am not sure they make the 160mg anymroe, but they do still make the 10mg, 20mg, 40mg, and 80mg oxycontin(which is a time-released oxycodone) Much stronger.
