Avatar f tn i weened myself off oxycontin in 03 without much withdrawl, but my dr. then placed me on 400 mcg actiq 5 times a day and 30 mg kadian once daily. the kadian never seemed like the problem, i could take it or not, but i could not go without the actiq.i always ran out b4 appt time and so forth. i realized i had a problem so i began to detox myself, and my dental bills were racking up from sucking lolipops all day. my dr. @ my clinic was and is a wonderful dr.
Avatar m tn I came to this site a long time ago in a similiar position as you. I was doing about 60-100mg of oxycontin a day. It hadnt taken over my life yet and I was still maintaining college, friends, job, social life, etc. People on here warned me of what was to come but I was too stubborn, I didn't think what they were saying could happen to me. Wow, I wish I would have heeded their advice because I ended up having to drop out of college and go to rehab more than one time.
Avatar f tn I mean, I know Oxycontin is slow release, but percocet is Oxycodone and how is that different from the Oxycontin? I thought they were the same only, one was slow release and one was not, but there must be another difference... Right?
543624 tn?1214240491 I have degenerative disc disease and started taking pain medication about five or six years ago. I've recently been prescribed 30mg roxycontin for my break through pain, and 40mg oxycontin twice a day. On some mornings, I'd wake up sick because I slept so long, and the only way I'd be able to get my medicine in me is by snorting because I throw them up right after I swallow them.
492561 tn?1209349433 Hello. My name's Kacey. I just recently decided to stop taking roxy and oxycontin. I'm young, only 20. In high school I expiramented with all sorts of things but in the end, I only kept smoking cigs, drinking, and smoking pot...until recently. I moved back to Florida and I got this new job, telemarketing (haha), started meeting people...and shortly thereafter...I was offered a "roxy". I had no idea what it was, just a pain pill was all I knew.
Avatar f tn Oxycontin is OXYcodone CONTINuos release (time) -------- Roxy is oxycodone immediate relaese --- roxy's are not perc's
667913 tn?1242700488 I think one is just time released (oxycontin) while the other is regular but you know it is really easy to find this info on the internet -- just google it.
Avatar f tn Is the methadone clinic a good idea if im tryin to get off of oxycontin? Im just worried about getting hooked on that as well and it will be just the same thing but i wont be spending as much money everyday on my habit!
1200909 tn?1306815081 Actually my WD's are gone and there were nothing! I turned it all over to God and he helped me through my weakest times and got me through. Your WD's from Sub's yes they do suck but they are no where near the WD's of going cold turkey off my drug of choice which was Roxy 30's and Opana's of any kind I could find, Oxycontin from time to time when I couldn't find what I wanted. But YOU hang in there! How are you coming off them?
1264863 tn?1391118193 I started Jan 9th and I was taking 60mg of OxyContin. This week if my first week off and I feel better than ever. I am clear, stopped forgetting things, I'm happy! And best of all I have LESS pain! I am still taking some Oxycondone for pain when needed but that is it. Anyone who is thinking of tapering, DO IT! You won't regret it!
Avatar f tn Thank you so much for an outsiders opinion! I left my husband of 14 yrs 10/13/08. I myself have been on many meds over the last 10 years for stress, depression. I am still on pain meds after being hit by a 24' box truck in 1/07. I was in such a FOG for years & just wanted to sleep all the time. I left my husband (which is not her bio father but he has been there for her) & I left behind my pills.
Avatar n tn Superbowl sunday was the last time he smoked a roxy and has gone through tremendous pain from the withdrawals these past 8 nights. He's lost a lot of sleep because of them but has also had an epiphany about drugs and god as well. He realized that he doesn't need to do these things to be happy, which is all a great thing but my biggest worry is that he isn't making any sense when he talks. He goes from one idea to the next without completing his first thought.
Avatar m tn ve been on OXYCONTIN 80mg 2X a day plus ROXYCODONE 15 MG 4x a day. About 3 months ago I started complaining to my doctor that my meds do not last as long as they used to. He Upped my dose of ROXY's to 30 mg 3x a day. Since my accident I have also become very DEPRESSED. My Psychiatrist has put me on Xanax .5 mg 3 x a day as well as Pamelor 25mg 2x a day. I always take ALL my meds EXACTLY as PRESCRIBED. HOWEVER I am starting to notice that I want more a more of everything!
Avatar f tn Is it possible to be taking approx. 300 mg roxy, go cold turkey and on day three eat, walk around, converse normally, just some aches and pains. Started suboxone. but thought that took 24 to 36 hours to kick in. . . . is this on the level or is someone not really clean?
210982 tn?1280983895 Yes although dosage and frequency of usage does matter. In my experience morphine, high dosage oxycontin and methadone are the most effective (and the most addicting) pain killers.
Avatar f tn i am almost 8 months pregnant. i recently took a blue pain killer called a roxy similar to an oxycontin due to severe back pain. i regret it now and i am very worried about the effects of my decision. i need to know if there are any harmful effects to the baby. also i am worried about it being in the babies system when i give birth can someone please tell me how long it stays in the babies system please.

Avatar n tn I have been taking oxycontin 40/ and roxycontin for over a year now. I started off takin them recreationally. from a half to now 5-7 oxys or roxys a day(mainly roxys, until they run out then oxys). I want to get off these so badly, but am so scared of the withdrawls. I have withdrawn before but only for 2days and they were hell. I am going to quit cold turkey but i need everyones help.. anyone who knows how to calm the withdraws down or make them more comfortable please respond.
1151955 tn?1262643533 My insurance stopped paying for brand oxycontin so I was switched to Methadone for pain management. My mood definitely changed on those. It was awful. So I went back to the oxycontin and pay out of pocket. We all react differently so you very well could be reacting to the oxycontin. However taking a medication and having to take more than what is prescribed is not good for you long term. You need a proper pain medication so you don't need to take more medication than you need.
1200909 tn?1306815081 Norco is 10/325 hydrocodone roxy or roxy is the same as oxycontin it is just a 15 or 30 mg oxycodone pill the diff in roxy and oxys r the roxy are imidiate release so u get the whole 30 mg of oxycodone all at once while an oxycontin is the same drug oxycodone but if used correctly just swallowed not crushed snorted or injected the oxy has a time release layer so you do not get the full dose of oxy at one time so roxy is imediate release and oxy is time release.
Avatar n tn 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
