I would like to know if there is any pain medication that compares or is an alternative to oxycontin (80mg), besides opana? ## There is a time released Morphine on the market, as both a generic and under the name brand MS Contin. It is not as strong as Oxycodone, so you would require a higher dosage. If you were taking 80mgs of Oxycontin, then you'd need 120mgs of MS Contin. There is also a patch on the market, which contains the active ingredient Fentanyl, it is very potent, over 80 times stronger than Morphine. Are there any other questions? ## I am on 80mg oxycontin, what strength ms contin would I require as a equivalent? ## I broke 10 vertebrae in a serious accident a number of years ago. I have been taking Oxycontin 30mg ER for several years to help with chronic pain. My healt...

I have a precipitation for Oxycontin 40 mg 3 times a day. One night before going to a doctor in the morning I took a Roxicodone 30 mg at 3:00 AM cause I didn't want to take my Oxycontin. The next morning around 7:45 - 8:00 AM my pain doctor did a urine drug test. I was told 2 different stories. One said the dr would be able to tell I took a Roxicodone and several pieces of advice said they are the same ingredients and the lab and dr would not be able to tell I took a Roxicodone. Can someone help me and tell me if the test result would come back that I took a Roxicodone rather than an Oxycontin? ## They both contain the same active ingredient, which is Oxycodone. It is an opiate narcotic, the FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such a...

This is the number to Purdue when calling select Opt # 2 and explain the adverse reaction that you are having from the new reformulated Oxycontin. The number is 888-726-7535. If the new type is working for you then great. I and several people I spoke with said it gets stuck in your throat even with food. Plus it does not last 12 hour. I understand why they re-made it kids should not take it and as far as how people take it snort, inject or chew its their business. Nobody should tell another ADULT how to live his or her life. It sucks to live in pain it really does. Good Luck All ## The new Oxycontin OP has been specially formulated to help prevent abuse. However, there have been many complaints about it causing weird side effects or not working. To get someone to take notice of the prob...

For 37 yrs I have had a crippling form of arthritis which has caused multiple, serious surgeries and from which I am in constant pain. Despite having tried almost, if not every pain Med on the market, only OxyContin and oxycodon provide some relief And unlike all others, I have not had an allergic reaction to either. How do I find a new pain management Dr. In Mpls/st. Paul who will prescribe the only medications I can safely take? ## Pain management clinics which prescribe OxyContin and oxycodon for chronic pain

Hi..I am currently taking OxyContin 20mg 3xdaily, Percocet, Zanaflex, Neurontin & Trazodone for the chronic pain that I've been suffering for for over 13 years. It's a debilitating illness (RSD/CRPS) and has only gotten worse over time. Now it effects every single part of my body. I can't increase the OxyContin because it is not avail in generic and I can't afford to continue to pay out $475 every mth for 90 pills so I need to find something that will help relieve the pain just as good as the OxyContin, if not better. Any opinions?!? (The OxyContin is the best pain med that has helped my pain & so thankful my pain management doctor suggested it...tho it bugs me that I can't increase it bc of the price) I am also quite nervous about stopping them because of wi...

how long does it take a oxycontin 80mg op to start working after you swallow it ## About 15 to 20 minutes, though it can vary some depending on your own body, as well as if you've recently eaten. Learn more Oxycodone details here. It is a time released formulation, so it won't have as much of an immediate effect as the regular or instant release, though. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have a Rx for OxyContin which is a month old. Can I still have it filled? ## Prescriptions are usually able to be filled for up to one year from the date it was issued. ## After an hour it's fully kicked in for me. ## I take those but I find chewing them makes them come on faster. Also it works better for me. ## I'm asking this for a friend of mine who takes 30s 3 times a day....

If people bring suits against bad drugs, why can we not bring a suite for turning a good drug that worked until they changed it to where it does not work half as well any longer and have alot of side effects. does this not make oxycontin a bad drug. this all happened due to people abusing it, ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DO IS FIND SOME OTHER DRUG TO ABUSE AND IN THE MEAN TIME MAKE HE NON-ABUSERS SUFFER FOR NO REASON. PLUS THEY WILL NOT EVEN GIVE OUT INFORMATION OF WHAT WE COULD CHANGE TO THAT WOULD TAKE THE PLACE OF THE OLD OXYCONTIN THAT WOULD WORK THE SAME. I AM A GRANDMOTHER OF 6, I USE TO BE AT LEAST ABLE TO PLAY WITH THEM FOR A WHILE AND KEEP MY HOUSE CLEAN, NOW I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN, I SIT IN A CHAIR ALL DAY.

oxycontin 40mg versus opana 30mg, which one helps most? ## It really depends on the person and which one works better for them. The 30mgs of Opana, in this case, is the more potent of the two, if that's what you're asking. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I know this is a very old post but i just had to say the Opana is no more but the generic(oxymorphone 30mg ER) is still available and BLOWS EVERYTHING out of the water by far including the oxycontin 80's n especially a 40mg oxycontin thats all

I have a white oblong pill with V 3592 on it, is this Oxycontin 10 mg ER? ## This tablet contains Hydrocodone 5mg + Acetaminophen 500mg (NDC 0603-3881). Inactive Ingredients: - Hypromelloses - Lactose Monohydrate - Magnesium Stearate - Sodium Starch Glycolate Type a Potato Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. This medication also carries the risk of being habit forming. Another note that needs to be added here is that as of 2013, the FDA has made a request that all manufacturers lower the amount of Acetaminophen in these combination prescription products to no more than 325mgs per dose. There are legitimate concerns about the dangers of liver damage and failure that can be associated with long-term use of high amounts, as well as the toxic...

I found several small, round, orange pills in the cabinet under my sink today. The letters "OP" are printed on one side, and the number "40" is printed on the other side. A friend said they were a generic oxycontin pill that was time released. Is this accurate? What is the proper dosage for this medication? Thank you for your help. ## This is not a generic, since there isn't a generic for Oxycontin, this is the name brand and they are 40mg tablets, the ones with the OP marking are the new formulation that has been made to help prevent abuse. Oxycodone is a narcotic pain reliever. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.

Can dronis 30 cause hair loss? I took the medicine for 3 months (march, april, may of 2012) for irregular periods. Please give me a solution. I'm 25 years old. ## No, it's a hormonal contraceptive, but it really shouldn't cause hair loss. Learn more oral contraceptive details here. How severe is the hair loss? Are you taking any other medications? ## Hi. I am 22 yrs old and am taking dronis 20 everyday. I started 2 months ago and plan on continuing, but I am always having stomach cramps on my right side (upper portion) and always feel bloated.

I'm a patient going to pain management receiving OxyContin for chronic lower back pain and nerve damage in my feet and legs! I'm also seeing a psychologist who has diagnosed me with severe anxiety issues and ADHD disorders! I have hardware in my lower back (plates and screws), back fusion from S1 through L5 L3 L2!

She's telling me I can't receive my pain meds and my Xanax too! I have a contract with a comprehensive pain specialist. Can she kick me out of pain management because of the new guidelines in Tennessee? I'm going through a divorce and I've lost my son in a car wreck! I'm in constant pain and I'm having a pa...

My boyfriend takes high dosage of oxycontin and oxycodone through pain management doctor. He had to get his prescription early because he took too many the first 3 weeks. His doctor gave him a urine test today when he picked up his prescription early. He told the doctor he was going out of town so he could get them. He was only able to take a small dosage last night...no where near his normal prescription but up until yesterday was taking very close to his normal dosage. I am wondering what kind of test they would be running. If they run a level type test and since he was only a day of taking a smaller dose will the level show up as what he is supposed to be taken? He started to go into a withdrawal state last night. If it shows up as too low will he be kicked off pain management? I am ...

i think it might be a oxycotin 20 mg but not sure if anyone knows please let me know it is very important...thank you all in advance.... ## No, there is no Oxycontin with this marking, nor have I found any other Oxycodone formulations in the U.S. that have that marking. The FDA warns that Oxycodone carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Can you double check the imprint?
