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.
My boyfriend and i were on 40-80 mg of oxycontin a day, sometimes a little more. We did this every single day for like 3 months, and before that we did them a couple times a week for the past year. We decided to quit cold turkey because of the amount of money we were spending. We are now on day 3 and feel nothing. The only withdraw symptoms we have experienced are being grouchy and tired. I have been in school and wor everyday and he works in the coa mines. Why are we not sick?
I have needed to use oxycontin for pain relief post-operatively. Prior to surgery (hip replacement) I had been on Suboxone program for 3 yrs. Now I'm trying to taper the oxy and getting dope-sick bad. MD says that the Oxy w/d is complicated by the Suboxone w/d (which had been masked by the Oxys.) If that makes any sense. My question is does anybody have experience with oxycontin taper? Reduce by how much for how long, etc?
Hi I have been relying on 20mg of controlled release oxycontin to wake-up in the morning for months now. I have been starting with 20 then as that wears of I take another 20. The most I have taken in a day is 80mg. Forgot to mention that I have been chewing them before swallowing. Do you think this will be hard to get off? and what am I going to feel?
I HAVE BEEN ON 4 80 MG. OXYCONTIN FOR SOMETIME NOW AND JUST HAD MY PRESCRIPTON CHANGED THIS MONTH TO OP'S 80 MG. THESE PILLS JUST DO NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH THAT THE OC'S DID. I DO NOT ABUSE MY MEDICATION AND NEVER HAVE AS I NEED IT AND RIGHT NOW I AM VERY FRUSTRATED. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO US THAT THESE PILLS DO NOT WORK? WILL WE GET OUR OXYCONTIN BACK. I AM A 51 YEAR OLD FEMALE AND ALSO HAVE EMPHYSMA AND THAT WAS THE ONLY QUALITY OF LIFE I HAD!!
I just recently found out that my husband has been taking 3-4 oxy 80's a day and now he is trying to quit himself. I have begged him to go to the doctor or treatment center to get help and he keeps telling me that he has to do this on his own. He's taking methadone to try to come down.
I have been down since then. Nothing seems to help. Im on 80 to 120m of oxy daily. I been continous for about a year. I was on vicodin for 3 yrs prior.
SO MAYBE I DON'T EVEN TAKE ENOUGH OXYCONTIN TO BE TRUELY ADDICTED? I KIND OF FIGURED THAT AN 80 mg A DAY OR EVERY OTHER DAY WASN'T A BIG DEAL, BUT THIS FEELING OF WITHDRAWL SUCKS AND I COULDN'T IMAGINE BEING MORE ADDICTED TO THIS **** THEN I ALREADY AM...
i agree with lostmakeupgirl. i also am a VALID PAIN MANAGEMENT PATIENT. i didn't think id become a junkie over oxycontin but i did. i didn't think id stoop to the lows i have done but i did. i also find it rude and non productive to tell addicts how selfish we are. and if you reread rhe post he/she is scared that we will be the reason the drug is pulled from his/her life. that is the start of addiction in itself. reread how focused fourfer is on that. and fourfer is uneducated.
Hi guys. I'm on my 4th day of Oxycontin withdrawal, was snorting about 6 or 7 OC 80's a day for 3 years. The problem now is, not only am I completely sick of it, but Purdue Pharma only makes a tamper proof formula that really can't be crushed, believe me I've tried everything possible. Most of the people on here probably know, the new one's, the have OP-80 instead of OC-80.
There are many and varied doses of opiate pain relievers available in both instant and extended release so that chronic pain patients can get the best coverage they can get. Indeed, some very tolerant people can take an extended release 80 mg oxycontin tablet. However, that could be a very dangerous pill for another person, for whom it was not prescribed. And if you cut it it becomes even more dangerous (hopefully this is harder with the newer formulation).
My question is, how much riskier it is for him to have this 2nd re-op in comparison to his 1st and second op? Is the scar tissue/age a big obstacle for a surgeon? At the Cleveland clinic, what is the mortality rate for someone my dad's age having a 2nd re-op and how does this compare to an 80 year old having his primary AVR there? Also, is it important for him to have a CAT scan along with a cath before the surgery?
When Purdue Pharma reformulated the pill and renamed it Oxycontin OP, that extended the patent on Oxycontin. Purdue Pharma won the lawsuit and all the generic manufacturers that were producing Oxycontin had to exit the market. A similar scenario happened with Opana ER. Endo Pharmaceuticals reformulated Opana ER so that it couldn't be crushed and snorted. When they did that, it extended their patent for at least another 10 years.
I quit smoking oxy 80's over 3 days ago, well at least i tried, what i mean to say is i use to smoke 500-1500mg a day for a month and a half straight i really binged. Then i had 1 oxy 80 left in the house i found over 24+ ago i swallowed it. So if you count that 1 relapse as starting over i'm now at 24-30 hrs of detox.
, doctors who will not mention new drugs -- please read on) help. I have been addicted to Oxycontin for about two years. Before I was addicted to Oxycocet and Tylenol 4 and weaned mself off successfully; although, when I told the doctor that I wanted to get of Oxycocet, he said the "usual routine" is to use Oxycontin. I have been taking about 5 80 mg tablets per day.
I was also on amityiptyline, ambien, and a rare xanax. I had been on oxycontin since 2002 for lyme disease but was off completely a month before surgery. I was on vicoden for the post-op pain for the first surgery. I did fine after the first surgery except for a cough and pain in my neck.
The second surgery, a skin graft, was more painful. The lortab and tramadol the plastic surgeon gave didn't work. The fifth day post-op I went back on oxycontin short term for the bad pain.
