I WAS ON PERCOCET & ALL THE TYLENOL IN IT WAS MAKING ME SICK, I TOLD THE DOCTOR I NEEDED SOMETHING WITHOUT TYLENOL, HE SAID NO PROBLEM. HE TOLD ME PERCOCET IS OXYCODONE WITH TYLENOL, SO SINCE THEN I TAKE OXYCODONE, GREAT FOR PAIN & EASY ON YOUR STOMACH & YOUR STILL GETTING THE SAME INGREDIENT AS YOUR PERCOCET WITHOUT THE TYLENOL, GOOD LUCK.
I've had chronic pain for years.(On a scale 1-10 I was a 8) It wasn't until I went on Methadone that I soon became almost pain free without the high feeling you get from Vicodin etc. I take 30mg TID (3 10mg) with Roxicodone 30mg every 6 hrs for break thru pain if needed. I have a life now. my pain doesn't control my life anymore, I control my pain. People have the wrong idea about methadone, it's a wonderful pain killer, but you won't get high.
I use methadone for the same purpose. For pain relief without a high feeling. I was taking oxycoden for years and it was only making me moody and i felt so sick when I didnt have it. Now I take methadone and I feel amazing everyday. If I miss a day, I dont get sick, I still feel ok for a few days. Its a great pain killer.
I'm in OC, CA. I need a doctor that will prescribe roxy and methadone. My doctor won't go past Norcos, it takes too many to work on my pain. Please help me.
