oxycontin

323051 tn?1206924683 I came off of oxycodone and vicodin and felt the same way. I am on Neurontin now, which is an antiepileptic medication and that seems to help a lot. Hope this helps. I know that the feeling sucks!
Avatar m tn I was sent to neurology who wanted to be on the safe side and sent me for an EEG and an MRI. Both were normal, though they found slight abnormalities in my EEG, with slow waves in my temporal regions. They thought it was basically fine though. They are still investigating me for epilepsy and said if I had another episode, to let them know. A few nights ago, I sustained an injury and woke up with the bed covers strewn everywhere, acheing limbs, fingers bent into claws, exhaustion, etc.
3655415 tn?1352837277 I had run out of oxycodone back in the summer and was only on my second day of withdrawl symptoms. I blacked out, fell to floor and starting convulsing. The people I was with kept calling my name to wake me up, just when I started coming out of it I blacked out a second time a convulsed again. When I finally came to I felt a little tired but good. Is this common at all?
Avatar f tn I gained about 50 pounds since quitting pain management and it seems to be a lot worse. Did the oxycodone and oxy cotton mask the numbness .
Avatar n tn He wrote me a rx for 4 days (enough to get me through the weekend and make a decision. I talked to my husband and MIL and I decided to check into rehab. Monday evening I was FINALLY admitted (the process took 7hrs). I know that suboxone has a 37hr half live and it takes a while to get out of your system. But when I went to rehab I was VERY determined that I did not want any more opioids.
473384 tn?1210206242 Both immediate-release and sustained-release oxycodone are now available (OxyNorm and OxyContin). There are no comparative trials showing that oxycodone is more effective than any other opioid.
Avatar m tn Now fast forwarded to about 6 months ago They put me on 2 - 60mg oxycontin a day and 4 - 10mgs oxycodone. I couldnt stand long enough to cook dinner. So i bought poppy seed online. very carefully drank just enough to be able to cook dinner (no pain). Didnt think anything of it. But i did stop 4 days before pain management appt. this monday. Low and behold the morphine from the seed was in my pee. I said well i was not taking prescriptions. i ordered poppy seeds off ebay.
Avatar f tn Theres also Percoden which is oxycodone and asprin. Oxymorphone is a totally different drug 2x the strenth of oxycodone.
435658 tn?1257805781 I was taking oxycodone and yes i take medicine for my seizures, the only thing the doctors could find about 6 yrs ago was leasons on my brain, they said it had to of been from some major trauma to the head, but in my past there was quite a few trauma's so don't know which one caused them?
Avatar f tn how much have you been taking and for how long? tramadol should not be stopped suddenly, it should be tapered down slowly or you run the risk of seizures and other very unpleasant WD symptoms. When was your last pill? Do you have more around or are they all gone now?
374225 tn?1269899262 t moving at all for 4 days. A doc-in-the-box got my whole story that I had been taking oxycodone and soma and the normal stuff but hadn't taken it for about 8 weeks. He asked how my pain was and I said, "Worse". He said, "Stupid!" apparently you need to keep the pain at bay or it will cascade. Anyway... He gave me 10 Mg of Valium, 10 days worth of Percocet, 10 days worth of Soma and told me to get back to my pain management doctor immediately.
Avatar f tn t take it away but make life a little bit easier. I also take Tizanadine and oxycodone for flare ups. In the morning I start taking Savella the new Fibromyalgia medication. My Rheumatologist gave me a four week starter pack of Savella today. I'm really nervous to take this medication because both Cymbalta and Lyrica were horrible medications for me. The side effects scare me. Suicide, nausea, vomiting, bleeding problems, rashes, etc. and I do mean the list goes on and on. Wish me luck.
Avatar f tn no one can tell a person that they won't have seizures but most people do not comming off of pain meds..cold turkey or tapering. I will assume you are taking oxycodone is some form..hopefully not methadone..but it would be helpful for us to know.
Avatar f tn Another problem with tramadol is that it can cause seizures, which, while the potential for abuse is still there with hydrocodone or oxycodone, the chance of seizures is almost nil. With tramadol, the chance for seizures in higher doses is pretty good. Please be careful with tramadol (Ultram). It's not a great thing to get your body involved with.
Avatar f tn Well he only did those because he was actually selling them but he hasn't been selling since hes been doing perks. But he did 30's about 4-5 times a day. But he hasn't vomitted since yesterday morning and it's my brothers gf's parents have seizures and our family doesn't have anyone who has seizures. And the doctors did tests and they said they don't know why he was vomitting and all they see is a unusual red spot in his stomach.
Avatar m tn Congrats on 48 hrs clean! It's great that you have your wife and a good friend to support you as well as finding this forum. I think maybe you should try Valerian Root for anxiety first..also at a health Food store Yogi Relaxation tea. I say this because I have heard these work really well. I have to find Gnarly's post on the tea..not sure I have the correct name, You have made it for two days without the need of a Benzo..maybe keep doing what you're doing.
2178523 tn?1337618945 I have been on the 100 mcg Duragesic Patch as well as 120mg of oxycodone each day for about a year now. I stopped the patch cold turkey about 6 days ago and am slowly tapering down my oxycodone usage. I am also prescribed 4 mg of Xanax a day, which I am also trying to taper down. I was in a really bad car accident about 5 years ago and have had a total disc replacement at the L5-S1 level as well as a neurostimulator implanted.
Avatar m tn They will also give me clonidine for panic attacks, phenobarbital for anti seizures, IV fluids and zofran for nausea and I will be hooked up at all times to a heart monitor. Oh yeah and I also have multiple sclerosis. Have any of you got off your meds this way.? I'm supposed to be in the hospital about a week and then ill be on AutoZone if it works for pain. Otherwise ill have to try a morphine pain pump.
433485 tn?1321813390 Hi Sue what is Oxycodone? Do you get it from the doctors? I too have chronic gastritis and it is agony on flare ups. I take Pantoprazole,Gaviscon and I can take Sucralfate. They don,t do much though. Its really awful isn,t it I hope you find relief for your pain too.
Avatar m tn Anyway I am already on Valium (for years) and Lamitctal However the ER doc prescribe oxycodone, flexeril, and for some reason ativan? Which I kept telling them i don't understand since i am already on 20mg valiums? They kept saying they will ask and the Doctor said she would update my med information but when i got home I saw they did not update any information and she wrote to take all 3 with no comment on the valium i already been on for years?
Avatar f tn I had my gallbladder removed Wednesday and have been on Oxycodone since Wednesday night. For some reason it started affecting my sleep yesterday. I tried laying down for a nap but could not sleep. I slept an hour or two last night. When I try to go to sleep my thoughts start racing and I just cant sleep. I really could use some sleep. Help.
537731 tn?1268265286 Anyway Dr gives me a medicine i inject B12 weird-and gives me talwin nx- for pain to take with my oxycodone to help my pain more and tells me if i go to pain clinic and the call him he will prescribe what they say. I am confused this talwin has naloxone in it- i am about to research it but i believe that is what they use to reverse overdose effects.
Avatar f tn Sorry I missed one part of your question. Backhurtz is correct that the doctor is giving you dilaudid to take instead of the Oxycodone. That being said, you might want to call and ask what he or she wants you to do if they were not clear about it. Most times when I change meds my doctor gives me a written plan that entails reducing the drug I was on while at the same time increasing the drug he now wants me to take until I am completely switched over to the new drug.
Avatar f tn t had my first appointment but I plan to ask how to get off everything right away and I cannot do the suboxone or methadone program because I was on subutex for six months a year ago and the withdrawals sent me to the ER six times and I ended up back on oxycodone to avoid withdrawal from them again. I tried doing a short taper last month on suboxone again and ended up having too bad of withdrawals and couldn't fathom them so I got back on again.
Avatar f tn I will try to keep this as short as possible. I know you generally don't titrate but if someone could help me a bit I think it may be the only way I'm going to possibly make it. I had back surgery, as told pain was from collapsed disk. Pain didn't leave and I was told the pain would go if I got off the pills. Went Rapid Detox. Pain stayed. Ended back on pain meds. Was told when I built up back pain would leave.
