Common Questions and Answers about Avinza cost

avinza

Avatar m tn My PM doctor's nurse put me on various drugs until Avinza, then I stayed on it for the last few years. I have severe, life threatening Respiratory problems and my memory is getting much worse. I am 100% disabled from a car wreck. I am medically retired. My wife is here with me, so I am not alone. I got my dosage down from a high of approximately 450-500 mg a day to 30mg of Avinza a day. Oxycodone is for BT pain. I took my last Avinza at 10pm Sat, July 19.
Avatar m tn ADDITIONALLY, PATIENTS MUST NOT USE PRESCRIPTION OR NON-PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS CONTAINING ALCOHOL WHILE ON AVINZA THERAPY. CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL WHILE TAKING AVINZA MAY RESULT IN THE RAPID RELEASE AND ABSORPTION OF A POTENTIALLY FATAL DOSE OF MORPHINE." * MORPHINE IS METABOLIZED IN THE LIVER* You should get off of this one right away and switch to something like Paxill - this all is very confusing to me why any hep doctor would suggest this?
Avatar f tn My daughter was told at her pain clinic that she could not build a tolerance to Avinza. My daughter has to be taken off of Avinza and put on something else for a while and go through terrible withdrawl, including restless leg syndrome, then she sees the nurse again and has to argue with her to get her to put her on Avinza again.
Avatar f tn anyone have any problems with Avinza? (morphine sulfate extended release). My dr said that it had an antagonist that made it non addictive. He prescribed it to me alone with Norco (high dosage)- I stopped taking both, and it's been 6 weeks, but I'm still struggling.
518031 tn?1295575374 I am on medicare part d for my meds.. and i take Avinza 30 mg one a day and percs for breakthrough pain. Ireceived a letter theother day from my part d provider telling me that the Avinza will not be covered after this month i was wondering if anyone else received a letter like this.. i took a copy to my dr and pharmisct because my scrip refill is do this coming week.. they have to send in specific reason why i have to have that particuler med... now is this insane or is it just me??
210982 tn?1280983895 blah,blah, blah...does anyone know what is in this stuff? I have been taking it along with Avinza (60 mg) which is what my dr prescribed and so far I guess it works okay, hard to tell though since I am on Avinza, that may be what is helping my pain. Any info would be great..thanks!
Avatar f tn Can you build up a tolerance to avinza? After taking avinza for several months, my daughter just didn't get any relief from it anymore. She quit taking it for a while and then started using it again and it's working. The pain clinic nurse practioner say's that you cannot build up a tolerance to it.
210982 tn?1280983895 Is morphine (avinza) a stronger narcotic than percocet? I have 60 mg tablets of avinza, so if I take one of those, is that like taking 6 of the percocet 10/325?
Avatar m tn My best friend of 13 yrs just got prescribed avinza. Not sure of dose. He has been trying injection of pills. I think he is injecting avinza. Is that possible. What are signs or symtoms. He needs help.
Avatar m tn Has anyone had any withdrawl problems with Avinza if they miss one day of medication??
906738 tn?1251010478 s a day and liked the Avinza so much better. Avinza is basically 24 hour time release Morphine. I take two 90 mgs caps every morning. And it keeps me from going into wds and gives a good base of coverage.. way way better than I had for the year I was on the patches.
Avatar m tn This is problematic - he still has the original pain, deals with huge pain through out body, shower water is even too painful on account of detox over two months ago, and with one off and two days on sub, he is not very hopeful. A new doctor will use avinza to ease him off suboxone. Anyone have experience using avinza for this purpose? I am extremely wary, as he is odd in his responses to drugs. Persistent detox pain mystifies his doctor(s), except for one who expected it! Thanks very much.
Avatar m tn My third visit to PM Dr is in two weeks and I am not getting any relief. I take my medicine as prescribed. I went from 10/325 oxycodone 4x a day to 30mg avinza, and now I am taking 45mg avinza still with no relief. My pain remains between 5-8 with 9 most evenings. I dont want to be labeled by telling my doc I am not getting any relief. I am looking for suggestions.
374225 tn?1269899262 Someone (a friend of mine) has asked me if it's safe to cold turkey... stop Avinza. They've been on it for a month. They want to quit. I know nothing about any of this at all (quiting or Avinza). I figured I'd ask here and then kick his behind to his HCP so he can get a straight answer. He's probably not "supposed" to be taking it and probably doesn't have an HCP to talk to. This is complicated stuff... trying to quit... man...
Avatar m tn I've had pelvic pain for the past 4 yrs and been to 8 different drs. last dr at the clevelend clinic diagnosed me with pelvic floor disorder so i've been going to a pmd and been getting 120 mg avinza&750 norco.I'm tired feeling sluggish from theses meds!Pretty much ween myself off the norco the avinza pretty hard into my 3rd day of weening off the avinza!I'm going to get off it no matter how bad the pain gets!!!Feeling really depressed lately!!It will get better!!
Avatar f tn I will see my pain manangement doc in 2 weeks. I ahve been on avinza 90mg for 2 years. Xodol for breakthrough pain for 2 years. My pain level is increasing and the xodol does nothing for my break through pain. Any ideas what options are available for me.
Avatar m tn Avinza is a 24 hour Morphine realease. Its like MS Contin except you only take it once a day. I cant use either (aside from the obvious reasons for addiction because they are addicting too), but they made me not be able to breathe!
Avatar f tn I was prescribed. Suboxone to avoid WDs from Avinza. Avinza is a continuous release morphine pill that a pain clinic dr prescribed me for severe & chronic pain. I was on a very high dosage of Avinza and could not function. When I asked to get off of it they put me on suboxone. . I wasn't given an option. I've been on it now for approx 3 1/2 years. My 1st attempt to taper off suboxone was he11! I didn't sleep for a month, was in the worst pain ever.
Avatar f tn Hi...I am 49 years old woman with rsd in both hands. Just wanted an opinion on the med's i'm on. 3200mg gabapentin...40mg nortriptylin..( these were both just raised) 60mg cymbalta 15 mg roxicodone..4xdaily as needed...75mg avinza once daily...is this alot of medication? My pain isn't under control at this point. About a month and a half ago my pain mgmt nurse pract had given my lorcet...that along with the 60mg. avinza , gabapentin, roxicodone cymbalta worked pretty well...
347645 tn?1283220742 What about Avinza (time-release morphine)... I know it sounds scary, but I have a horrible case just like you -- I know the pain of not being able to kiss my husband -- a man who has been there for me through thick and thin and DESERVES to be kissed and kissed a lot! I too, experience bad side effects from tegretol, topamax, neurontin, injections, etc.... I will have the Ganetta procedure done in a few weeks and my fingers are crossed...
210982 tn?1280983895 Some of you have read my story, was taking percs 10/325 and morphine (avinza) 60 mg. This last script I got of percs I finished in 1 1/2 weeks. I couldn't believe it. I had the morphine to last so I didn't go into w/ds from the percs. Well it has been about three weeks w/ no percs. But on Sat I took my last avinza. I felt okay, sat and sun, but today the wds have kicked in. I am feeling achy, diarehha, anxious and have RLS which just started tonight.
Avatar m tn The last time I asked about this, he gave me more pills and tried more meds (Avinza, Opana). I just want to be done with opiates all together. At the point I'm at now, 4.5 pills at once do not a)touch the pain b)give me the "ahhhh" feeling I once got. Does anyone have any advice or opinions on what to take to make the withdrawls, well NOT HELL!! I am so scared of w/d I have cried and cried for the last 2 days just thinking about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!
Avatar m tn I want to become a mother again. I have a 19 y/o. I am a newly wed. My husband has no children we are considering IVF but it is so costly. Not sure if I am able d/t high FSH. didn't get result for AMH as of yet. But if its not possible for me to have one biologically we are considering using DE. My question. Is it cheaper using a family or friend as a donor in comparison using an anonymous donor. Where I am living, it cost $16,500 for DE...IVF cost almost $20,000.
Avatar f tn Oh my goodness! That is so expensive. Here in new zealand all medical care is absolutely free. It seems unethical to charge someone to give birth!
Avatar f tn Can anyone give me a ballpark of the cost for the suppressant drugs after a transplant. Just want to get an idea, know no one can give me exacts but any info would help. Thanks.
Avatar n tn umm in the usa without insurance, n im chronic.
