Avatar f tn Hey Suzy. Welcome to the forum. Oxycodone @ 10mg injected will produce the SAME results as morphine for most people. I'm mentioning this to point out that these types of drugs are opioid drugs, potentially habit forming narcotic drugs. The fact that they are prescribed legally, does not make them any less dangerous than street drugs, other than the fact that their "quality" and strength are consistent with what they claim.
1351082 tn?1479840132 I've been on 10 mg of oxycodone for 3 yrs for fibromyalgia then shingles and now brest cancer but it stopped helping my pain so my dr put me on the morphine er and now I only take may 2 oxycodors a day if that. How hard us it to taper off the morphine I don't want to stay on them long just long enough for the pain to calm down from my cancer treatment.
Avatar f tn I was stupid and changed my date on my prescription and my dr found out. I was let go whats the chances of me getting another pain dr. I've got fibromyalgia, DDD,thinning in my padding in my spinal cord. She fired me and I've been on 15mg of oxycodone. Dropped cold turkey its killing me and I'm scared what can I do. Will i be ably to get another pm dr?? I know i screw up but my pills were stolen from my daughter.
Avatar f tn Tramadol and oxycodone belong to the narcotic analgesic group and are given for severe fibromyalgia. Narcotic analgesics block the transmission of pain signals by binding to the opioid receptors in the central nervous system. The actions in the central nervous system are also responsible for side effects such as sedation, respiratory depression and intoxication. Using narcotic analgesics for a long time increases the risk of dependence. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I am currently on vicodin for fibromyalgia my doctor wants to switch to percocets..dont they have the same ingridents other than more tylenol or ibufrofen?
Avatar n tn ve tried gabapentin several times in addition to being on oxycontin and oxycodone (and some other meds at the same time.) I did find it helped with the pain but I had a bad side effect in that it made me slur my words (to the point people thought I was drunk and I don't drink.) Also, you cannot stop it cold turkey due to a seizure risk but it's not like you have withdrawals like you do with narcotics. I would also make sure you see how it affects you before driving.
Avatar n tn I just saw the prescriptions that my mother is taking. Methadone, Oxycodone, Klonipin and Tramadal. If she is taking all 4 of these drugs I suspect she needs to be professionally detoxed. She has been loaded for years now. She really can't function anymore. Any suggestions? She has fibromyalgia. I don't buy it, but, this is her story. Is this typical to prescribe this combination?? It seems over the top to me.
Avatar n tn Want to get off oxycodone, used for fibromyalgia pain and get on something not addicting.

Avatar n tn I have taken opiates and other narcotics for my severe migraines which have never helped my fibromyalgia. But I see plenty of postings on medical websites like this one, of people with fibromyalgia who are very upset not to get the narcotics. It seems like those people must get some pain relief from them? Makes me wonder.
Avatar m tn I have been on oxycodone off and on for about 3 years now. Ive been with 3 different doctors (all in the same clinic mind you) and they have all have transferred somewhere else. Im going on my 4th in mid January. Ill try to keep this short. Ive had 3 MRI's done on my lower and mid spine. I also have pain in my elbows. wrists, butt cheeks, knees etc. The 1st doctor cut me off cold turkey, he thought i was selling them.
Avatar m tn My question is - I was on suboxone for the pain and it did not work. So I have a new doc appt next week, and am certain he will give me oxycodone. Should I go to a different pharmacy? I thought there is a central database where any can see that I just got subs filled last month. I plan on telling my new doc that I even tried them for pain. I don't want to get into trouble. It's been a long, rocky road with sciatic nerve pain, chronic back pain, and fibromyalgia.
7810280 tn?1394402426 I started taking OC's about 2 yrs ago- prescribed by my Dr.- due to severe pain from what I know now is degenerative disc disease. He started me on 5 mg and now, I am at 30 mg- 4-5x/day. I started off at about 140 lbs- which is big for me! I have always been 108-115 my whole life- even at 38! I am currently over 180 lbs and want to die!! Yes, I am in pain and it keeps me from the gym. Yes, I am depressed. Yes, I eat crap when I'm sad......
Avatar f tn Hi all- I am a 27 year old female suffering from a very severe case of fibromyalgia. It has left me bed ridden for weeks at a time and when the flare ups are bad nothing works. I have prescriptions for morphine and oxycodone but on bad days they don't touch the pain. I can't do massages because the fibro pressure points are too painful to be touched.
Avatar n tn i had to go through a detox for 3 days, then went to an outpatient treatment facility and started suboxone treatment..I was in suboxone treatment for 8 mths. i stayed clean the whole time from opiates, but abused pretty all other drugs to compensate, my tricky brain was at work, tricking me to move the addiction/problem to other drugs..and of course it worked cuz i am powerless over any and all substances..
Avatar f tn My knees have been giving out do to havin fibromyalgia. My life has changed in so many ways. Its hard to get around my own house. And I live in pittsbrugh were there's nothin but hills. I can't walk up them anymore. Will this ever go away so I can continue to be 27 and get oldder and not be old now.
Avatar m tn I had only once tested my hbsag quantity since my diagnosis two years ago. The test was done a few weeks ago and came out about 17000iu/ml. In other words quite high, that should warrant treatment immediately, in my opinion, though my dumb doctors won't put me on treatment yet. But I'm going to fight them and insist that I need antiviral treatment.
Avatar n tn After seeing a psychiatrist at the advice of my primary care physician to see if this course of action was appropriate for me I was put on oxycodone, 30 mg. a day in 5 mg. doses. This seems to work fine but like all opiates my doctor says I will always want more. My question is this, if I have to choose between either being crazy and not sleeping, drinking heavily, or taking oxycodone, which is the best way for me to go. Here is a list of the things I've tried.
3119032 tn?1342038748 Often there is no cause for fibromyalgia and hence it is difficult to control pain. The cause of fibromyalgia is often hereditary or due to a physical or emotional trauma or due to lingering infection in the body such as due to mono. It can also be due to severe or long lasting anemia. The treatment is a mix and match of analgesics, anti depressants, anti seizure medications, physical therapy and counseling. Correcting anemia and treating infection also helps.
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.
Avatar n tn Yes I am on so many its scary!! I'm on Oxycodone, amitriptaline, omoprazole, sertraline, a water tablet amongst others. I'm almost 14 weeks pregnant and have fibromyalgia and arthritis and also have a slipped disc. I'm slowly coming off of the Oxycodone but I have spoken to a specialist who adviced me to continue with the other meds.
5769649 tn?1373931353 But regardless, depending on the test that is given, yes Tylenol 4 will show differently than oxycodone, and lortabs, because while they are all similar, oxycodone is oxycodone, lortabs are hydrocodone and Tylenol 4 is codeine. I hope that helps at least, good luck to you.
Avatar f tn My coworker took them her whole pregnancy her son is fine. I take oxycodone twice a day for fibromyalgia. I would say its ok but always best to talk with doctor about it.
Avatar f tn I had a coworker who took them her whole pregnancy her son is fine. I take oxycodone twice a day for fibromyalgia. Oxycodone is way stronger when I first got pregnant I quit cold turkey but was put back on them just a lower dose. Doctors go to school for years they know what they are doing.
Avatar n tn What to do to help with pain when you suffer from fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, and arthritis? How to switch from opiates to other safer treatments? Help. At the end of my rope. Would appreciate any suggestions.
