I have had major back surgery. I had 4 fusions. I have 12 3" screws in me. I'm still in chronic pain. What is a good slow release pain medication for the day and something at night when I get home? ## Hello, Josh! How are you? There are actually several available, such as Oxycontin, which contains a time released formulation of Oxycodone. MS Contin, which is a time released formulation of Morphine and the Duragesic patch that contains the narcotic Fentanyl. These are narcotic analgesics, so they have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Those are all options that you may want to discuss with your doctor. What are you currently taking? ## Much thanks for your response and info. I'm on ...

My previous doctor is no longer practicing and I have been a CPP for more than 20 years. For the last 7, I was prescribed 2-80 mg Oxycontin ER twice a day and 30 mg oxycodone every 6 hours for breakthrough pain. I have not been able to find a doctor who accepts my insurance, most want cash and the visits are sky high-which I wouldn't mind if I was getting prescribed a long-acting and short-acting pain medicine. If anyone has any decent PM doctors please reply. ## Hey, I'm in the same boat as you. I've been in PM for a while now taking oxymorphone er and oxycodone 30s. I'm from New Orleans but been living in Arizona while on PM. Moving back to Nola in a few months and I'm going to need a new PM Doc. Has anyone replied to your message with a good contact? If so, could ...

Id like to hear what other people are taking for chronic, acute, progessive pain. My doc wont write for oxycontin / he writes for compounded vicodin up to and over 100mg / yes 100mg compounded locally. I would like to know if any one else is getting compounded hydrocodone ## Is Opama ER 20 mg better for chronic pain than Oxycotin? ## What is compounded vicodin? It doesn't have 100 hydro does it? Can you tell me about it? Thanks! ## I have had chronic arthritis(osteo and other)for 40 yrs.I have tried everything,the best is MSContin 30mg(morphine)2 or 3 times a day,I used to take 4,but was impacted bad.On 3 with senna S(light laxative)I use a hot water enema to avoid straining!No alcohal or street drugs,smoking and I go to church every sunday(christian) You will always have pain,but i...

i would be very greatly appreciative to get an honest answer to the question if the new oxy 80 C D N are a new generic on the market in the U.S. I have remained on the oxy ops due to the fact that i have to take them for my chronic pain but i do not like the side effects at all but im stuck with them since they are my only option PLEASE REPLY ONLY TRUTHFUL AND FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGABLE COMMENTS ## The Oxycontin (controlled release) marked 80mg on one side and CDN on the other side are a "Canadian name-brand".

Ive been taking the oxycontin for 10 yrs. best drug I ever had till the ops just came out. I only swallow them as directed. It used to take 30 min for me to feel them. Now its 3 hrs. and then it just slowly releases. A lortab is even better now. used to take a 40mg at 5 am-11am-and 5 pm. they worked great. some people I know couldnt take them for i made them drowsy or sick at their stomach. not for Me, it kept Me motivated and was perfect for my arthritis. [which is 24/7] my wrists are the size of baseballs. I need to find a substitute medication that will motivate me and not make Me sleepy. Can anyone help?

Why do so many people want to abuse OxyContin leaving those of us who actually prescribed it for pain on the edge? ## I KNOW ITS SO UNFAIR PEOPLE THAT ABUSE OXYCONTIN MAKE IT HARD FOR PEOPLE THAT HONESTLY NEED IT FOR CHRONIC PAIN. I HAVE TAKEN 4 80MG OXYS FOR 10 YEARS AND MY DOC LOST HIS LICENSE & I NEED DOCTOR WILLING 2 TREAT MY PAIN WITH IT IN MONTGOMERY OR BIRMINGHAM AREA. ## Sorry to point this out but stefanie, your approach to pain management is largely a reason for this. I am sure you are a chronic pain sufferer but the problem is that now you are looking for a doctor to specifically prescribe this drug to you - you came into this thread and instead of answering Thomas' question you posted how you are looking for a doctor for this drug. Thomas, as you can see, this medica...

I have a blue round pill that has an R on the top and 215 on the bottom. I cannot remember if it is my Oxycontin or the generic for it. Can you please let me know if it is my Oxycontin? ## Yes it is the same thing... it is oxicodone. Blue round with R and 215 is oxicodone 30mg. ## Is there any way that the R on the pill could actually be an A ? The reason I ask is because a blue round pill with A 215 on it is Oxycodone 30 mg, generic for Roxicodone. Please let me know what you think... ## what's the difference between the old ones in that say op instead of oc ..... I think they're like the footballs ????? is this an accurate assumption ? ## Is the a time release on the blue 30 mg Oxus with R 215 ## I have 30 mg oxy hcl white pill imprint 114.

My husband swears that op is not OxyContin please verifiy this for me ## It is Oxycontin, it is just a new formulation of it that was specially prepared to help prevent abuse. Basically, if someone tries to break it down to snort or inject it, it turns into a gummy goo that retains its time released properties. The change, however, has resulted in it not working as well for some people that had been taking it and there are also some that have experienced unusual side effects. It is even still manufactured by the same company, Purdue Pharma. Is there anything else I can help with? Learn more Oxycontin details here. ## What is op? Oxycontin is morphine.Endone & oxycodone are the same & break down the same way morphine does!

I got my Oxycontin (name brand) today and thought i had gotten the generic because it had OP imprinted on it instead of th regular OC imprinted on it. I ask my phamacist what was going on and he said that Oxycontin had changed their logo. I noticed the pill was slighly bigger so when i took my pill i noticed it give me heartburn really bad just like the generic did when i tried the generic. Now i am in pain, i have the heartburn, and i don't know if i will be able to hold this new formular down because i am so sick at my stomach. Do you think Purdue will ever change the formula of Oxycontin back to the original? I sure hope so. I am going to start a petition to get the old formula back again. Anyone interested in singing it please let me know. Loretta Sloan 630 Bird Road Magnolia, K...

I need to fill a script for oxycodone before I go in for a visit and don't want them to know. I was on weekly visits recently and they accidentally gave me a duplicate script. Someone has stolen my meds. I just got off probation so telling them that and showing up without a pill count doesn't sound like a real option. So I want to fill this week's prescription and use a few toward my pill count. I don't care if they know I filled it later. I will tell them. But my question is (I go in the morning), when will it show up on my report they print off showing the meds I filled?

Yesterday my doctor wrote me a prescription for "Oxycontin 20mg tablets" When I got to shoppers I was told they no longer make that medication. I was looking to get the generic oxycontins that I know are now available in Ontario. My doctor does not know much about this medication, and I am curious if she needs to write the prescription out differently. (I am thinking the generic name for oxycontin is oxycodone) Does anyone know for sure? As I have an appointment at the end of January and would be able to get the generic oxycontins that help relieve my chronic pain. I just need to be able to tell my doctor what the generic name is. Thank you in advance for all your help. ## Hi Mac, Oxycodone and Oxycontin are actually a little bit different. Oxycodone is an immediate release vers...

Live in Tampa and I have been on oxycontin SR 80mg, for 10 yrs. Prescribed by my physician , for injury. I can't afford the price my pharmacy is charging me. Is there any where in Tampa that is less expensive than $300.00 a month quantity #90 ( this is with insurance). Thank you for your help, I know there are people worse off than I am. ## RX OUTREACH ONLINE has very discounted meds if you qualify I would check it out also I have heard the drug maker has a discount program with express scripts your doc has to set up that you try. look up free discount meds online there are lots ofd programs but RX OUTREACH is legit I use them good luck ## I would suggest pursuing the suggestions that LLL has made, though I am not sure if Purdue still has any type of assistance program due to the re...

You will find that Pardue has made a deal with the Fed's for over 700 million, over charges stemming from Oxycontin ## Do you have anymore information on this? Such as a link to an article with details? Perhaps an FDA settlement page? We have many users that would be interested in more information on this, since there have been so many problems with the new Oxycontin formulation from Purdue. ## The link ur looking for is on Wikipedia. On Wikipedia search for Purdue Pharma LP 2007 and chek this outlaw Pharmaceutical company out. I was shocked at how many fines they have paid. It's getting close to a billion dollars. Everything from selling on the black market to drug tampering. These folks own Rhodes Pharmaceuticals to whom are tampering with Percocet generic putting Opioid deter...

P on one side 20 on other side Oxycontin 20mg Pink in color ## I have one and I could post a picture, but I just don't know how to. ## Yes, this medication is listed as being a 20mg Oxycodone CR tablet, which is a Canadian generic for Oxycontin.

If I take an OxyContin 80 mg at 10 PM Monday night, and on Tuesday morning I take one 80 mg + one 30 mg Oxycodone at 7 AM would it be working in my body by 8:30 that morning? Thanks ## Yes, based on your dosage schedule I'd say it would definitely be working in your body by then, regardless of whether you take immediate release or a delayed release formulation. For instance, conventional oxycodone has a peak plasma concentration in your blood stream of about 1 hour after taking it, whereas the time-released version would reach its peak after about 3 hours. Half life can be up to about 4 hours, and traces of it remain in your body for up to 72 hours (but by that time you would probably have taken your next dose if you are on a regular pain management schedule). Hope this helps! ## Ho...

white egg shaped tablet 53 on one side and 93 on the other side ## Small purple pill with RD 71 on one side blank on other side ## So did you find out if it was an oxycontin or was it a morphine ## The tablet with the 93 53 marking is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 5mgs of Buspirone, which is used to treat anxiety, so it is neither Oxycontin, or Morphine. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, and mood changes. Mac, the purple tablet with the marking of RD 71 is manufactured by Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 30mgs of Morphine in an extended release formulation.

Round, Thick, Blue pill with capital 'S' on both sides. ## Sounds like a 25 mg Sominex, which is a light blue with a large S on each side of it. ## I need the company name that makes 40mg oxycontin but NOT PERDU PHARMA CAUSE THEY SUCKS ## At this time, there are no generic version of Oxycontin available. The only time released formulation approved in the U.S. is the original name brand manufactured by Purdue Pharma. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. And there is no generic with an S on both sides. Badback, what types of problems did you have with the name brand?
