avinza

Avatar f tn I am on avinza 60mgx1 daily and it does dull my pain. I take it in the AM. My pain doc is strict and it is a fight with him he will not give me breakthrough. also gampahamentin 600x3 helps with celabrix. I am miserable most of the time. People hate me. I hate my PM doctor..
Avatar f tn t work, rather than the fact that it does work, but you do build a tolerance and the dosage needs to be adjusted. This nurse also says that restless leg syndrome cannot be a withdrawl symptom, and yet it goes away when the Avinza is restarted. The bad thing is you can't even switch pain clinics. Once you've been to one you're stuck there forever. When my daughter started there, she saw a doctor. The doctor left and it's just the nurse practioner that see's everyone.
Avatar f tn Long acting meds. are addicting, but probably less than the so-called "break through" pain meds. like Vic's and Perc's etc. because they don't give you the buzz. i did take the extended release morphine for a very short time and it was fantastic 1 pill a day and felt like my spine was numb--not my brain. The name Morphine scares me, and I wont take it....but, it is effective. Don't know about Avinza, but as long as you take it like your suppose to.......
374225 tn?1269899262 m just really curious to see how my body does without all the crutches. I bet it will do better not worse. Still exercising. My parents bought me an inversion table, it helps. I'm doing my physical therapy and everything else I can do to put my body back in charge.
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.
Avatar m tn It is generally used for moderate pain and, so I have heard, and it works well for lower back pain. That may be a good thing for him but if it does not work, more will put him back to square one. I don't know if your friend is seeing a pm doctor but that may be the way to go. You didn't mention whether or not he is an addict and has been abusing his medication. If so, then Avinza is not for him.
Avatar f tn how long does it take for the medication to work?? especially if its been like that for seven years?? and did anyone feel heart palpitations on it?
Avatar n tn I was recently diagnosed with dermatitis by a local dermatologist and he prescribed me a topical medication called "Elidel", since he didn't think steroid creams were appropriate for the area of body that I am treating which has thin skin. Anyways, I have been using the Elidel for about 10 days now, and have NOT seen any noticable difference in my skin condition.
Avatar n tn Yeah I'm a bit scared to ask for Oxycotin, but it is a long term pain reliever. I'm just not sure how to approach her about it. I feel she would just balk at it and then have me see a pain specialist, and I really don't want to go through the hoops and start all over again.
Avatar m tn I got myself off of the Diluadid and am currently trying to get off of the Avinza. I went from 90 mg to 60 mg to now 30 mg then 10 mg to 5 mg of Percocet. So my goal is to be off of the 30 mg Avinza and 5 mg Percocet by the end of the year. I looked at a Detox center but it was just for illegal drugs and people who seek out drugs where as my legal drugs were brought to me by doctors. My questions are: How did you stop the Avinza because I can't do cold turkey and I am just miserable.
Avatar f tn It takes 4-6 weeks for a med change to reach full potential in your blood, then after that, it can take another few weeks or even a couple months for your body to get well. While I don't condone sassiness and talking teenagers talking back to their parents, ask your mom to be patient and understand that the thyroid controls quite a few body processes, so without it, your entire body has to readjust and get used to the medication.
1047962 tn?1253728090 I went in for my lp test and some blood work, they said they thought they were sending the lp to the mayo clinic but werent for certain. They said it could take up to months? Does anyone know when i should except to get some tests answers from my doc? Or when I should call my doc and find out if they heard something? I had it done thurs the 24th but I am so parionid of what it could show. I just want it to be over and done with finally. U know. Thanks for all the repsonses ahead of time.
906738 tn?1251010478 I had the same problem with the patches and my pain dr. switched me to a medicine called AVINZA. I went from 150 mcg of fentanyl to to 90 mg Avinza'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.
