oxycontin

80 mgs is what I'm taking of the oxycontin. 80 mgs is all a person is suppose to take in a days time according to the Fed laws.. I am also taking Vicodin. On a scale from 1-10 my pain level went from a 10 to a three. I am very happy with taking the 80mgs along with Vicodine.
I'm wondering if 1 oxycontin (80mg) that my BF gives me every day to assist in my wean will help me. I am having minimal WD signs but the physical pain for which I was initially prescribed 3 Dils (8mgs each) per day by the former doc comes roaring back every morning. I am no longer on the Dilaudids.
People in Miami are useing a special chemical to remove the coating from 80mg oxycontin then, they grind 100's of them into fine white powder. There starting to mix it with cocaine and extasy. Sometimes a little heroin to make the users hooked faster. It's gonna be the epidimic in high school. It's being packaged in small sneak a snort vails. A 1/4 gram of straight oxycodone goes for $150. Mixed with coke and X, it can sell for $750 gram.
Hello Everybody. I need help. I have been on about 80-100 mg of oxy a day for about 7-8 months. I never took them before or any sort of opiate. I just stoped snorting them a week ago and now am just taking them orally. Really going to try to taper myself off and quit. What is the best way for me to quit completely? I don't need them physically because i have no chronic pain. I started taking the new 60 mg op that are time released.
I have been on Oxycotin for about 7 months. Prior to that I was taking Loratab for about a year, and prior to that I was taking percocet and vicadine. All of this was in connection with chronic pain arising from L-5/S-1 spine injury. Because the lami nectomy two years ago did not work, I underwent fusion this last May and am still in my "post-op" phase of recovery two months later. I am taking approximately 60-80 mg of Oxycontin per day and my efforts to taper have been difficult.
I was on oxy 80 oc since 2004 but when they changed to op they did not work from making me sick,memory lose etc
I advised some folks I correspond with on addiction issues never to take a single oxycontin even if legitimately prescribed for pain. I went through two rehabs in the 80's for drugs and alcohol and have spend about 18 of the past 23 years clean and sober. Nothing has kicked my but like this stuff, which I did almost as a lark. Today, I just got so depressed at being continually sick and down, and I did get some relief tonight. I'll pay for it tomorrow, assuming I don't cheat again.
He switched me from 15 mg. of ms contin to oxycontin 80 mg. four times a day! That is when the weight gain started. Like I said I gained 14 pounds the first month on my new doses. I continued to steadily gain weight for the next 6 months, at which time I was 178 pounds! I went from 133 pounds to 176 pounds in six months. I absolutely believe it was due to the oxycontin because there was no other changes to anything in my medical records.
I now take Oxycontin, 80mg every 7-8 hours. I am scheduled for hernia surgey in 3 days and am terrified that I will have terible withdrawl symptons from not taking the oxycontin. I am sure they will give me Demorol because I have had surgery in the past and Morphine made my heart race to dangerous levels and gave me no relief. The demerol had worked in the past but I wasnt on the oxycontin the last time I had surgery. My question is will I get the relief I need on the demerol?

I have started taking the drug oxycontin (about 1month) -which I am ABSOLUTELY for my job next week for good (so no need to tell me it is dangerous, I am well aware and I will be quitting the drug asap).

I went on a trip to a remote house boat with freinds and discovered what WD really are. I'd been using oOxycontin up to 300 mg a day for about 2 years and while on the trip i thought it would be ok to break my 40 mg pills into 4ths and take them because i was running out with no chance of refill before the trip. The WD started and the whole 4ths of a pill thing was out the window.
It started off, I remember my mother having all these extra bottles of oxycontin 80 mg's and also 30 mg oxycodone, fentanyl patches morphine, xanax...you call it she had...my mom could have ran her own pharmacy pretty much. So I started taking 30 mg a day...within a month 4-6 a day just in my school classe which was only 8 hours. then within a half year I was a full blown addict. I was takin 12 30's each day just at school...and another 10 or so after I got out.
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!! NOW I CANNOT GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AGAIN.
If the new oxycontin OP worked very well on your pain, I highly recommend talking to your doctor about Opana ER. It is oxymorphone and it is strongest pain medication available in pill form based on pharmacology. The oxycodone in Oxycontin is metabolized by the liver into oxymorphone. Therefore, the Opana ER would be a drug that is very comparable to the Oxycontin, only twice as strong.
an 80mg oxycontin is equal to something like 20 percocetsor something)
I did pretty well I think, then 2 months ago my town (including my brother and best friends) started seeing a lot of oxycontin primarily the OC or OP 80s. So i've been on them for the last 2 months now and Tuesday of next week i've planned to leave and am lucky enough to be able to go to New Zealand for a while (not as a vacation though).
Not trying to cause dissent as I am here to help in anyway I can but there is no longer a generic oxycontin formula on the market. 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.
We have now been addicted to Oxycontin for the past 3 1/2 years now I never realized the withdraws when we were doing the REAL ocs but now that they've been changed to OPS and that's all we can get I've noticed our withdraws are a lot more intense and we get so irritated with one another we argue constantly, keep in mind we were best friends and never really fought until these ops came into play. Even though I really enjoy the feeling I'd really like to stop, it's taring my family apart.
I do know that oxycontin does not come in a 30. Just 10-20-40-and 80. They used to make a 160, but it was taken off the market because people were dying from taking them.
He has been prescribed pain medication since 1988 and for the past 6+ years has been on oxycontin. Just like most, he was started on 10mg and is now prescribed 80mg. He also chewed them and took more than prescribed. He has been to detox twice and the doctors put him back on these meds. This time, he detoxed at home, tapered to Norco/vicodan and is down to about 5mg a day. He is determined that this time, he is done with the meds. Thank you all for your openess about your experiences.
AFTER 3 spinal surgery,the last one 2001 ,it involved 2 atificial disc replacement , inc a new repair on my previous fusion l/4 l/5 l/3 ,, after surgery i was left screaming , MY Secialist,had no answers for me , in hope that 80 mg morphene oxycontin 2 times a day would help, yes it did ,still . I am in constant pain 24 hrs a day , but a very limmited time frame to stand // sit/ walk aprox... 10 min > before pain increases up my spine & require to lie down to regain.
While 800 mg/day seems incredibly high to me, we don't know the OP's story. It sounds to me like the OP has spent the past five months tapering from 800 to 620 mg and for some reason, his/her doctor is discontinuing care. If this is the case, the OP is certainly in a predicament.
The people on here are always so amazing and helpful! Im addicted to oxycontin (op) , vicodin and percocets. I take about 3 80mg op's a day and a couple of vicodins, percocets in between. I have 3 80's left , not buying anymore after this. Im so scared. I also have sum vicodins and percocets and am wondering if the withdrawals would be easier if i took them to kinda taper off from the oxy's? Or should i just go coldturkey on all pills from the start?

I have prev.been on Oxycontin for about 5 yrs, 1yr ago my doc switched me to ms contin (this is for 2 lower back fusions that have left my left leg numb and both legs and lower back aching const.) during the time I was on the Oxy he also had me try the F patch.
Hello all. I've been addicted to oxycontin,roxicets, and the new "no crush" op's for the past 3 years. I started taking methadone about a year ago but will switch from that to roxi's on occasion. I only take 1 10 mg pill a day and am trying to go from that to half a pill per day. I can't keep going back and forth. I already feel the symptoms with the restless legs and the sweats and chills. It is severely interfering with my job as am in outside sales.
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. Anyways, cutting to the chase, I've felt like absolute death since about 12 hours since I last bumped some OC. I know I'm probably looking at at least 7-8 days clean for the physical symptoms to subside.
So I started getting them through a friend for a very long time went from normal hydrocodone and stuff then to I think oxycontin it says OP then 80 on the other side. So I've almost made it 48 hours without anything and I kind of feel like I'm dying. Please any support or suggestions?
