Oxycontin Op 20mg (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I have been on Oxycontin for 3 years. I am not stupid, I did not ask the doc to keep increasing my meds, I would decide to stop taking them for a two week on and two week off if I could. I am in chronic pain,my life has been altered to the degree I cannot walk without assistance any distance. I do walk into a store that has carts to push. Two back surgeries, the type of back that just keeps getting worse, had I not had the surgery I think I could have controlled the pain with Vicodan and Advil. But the doc. said I had to have the surgery. then the 2nd one did me in.It is a reputable doc who has done many surgeries, my opinion he wanted the money because this is when they discovered surgery was making things worse more than better. I blame that doc for me being in the pain I am in and for having to take the medicine. Now they want to treat me like a junkie off the street. I am so angry with this subject because of the reputation it gives you. If you have no choice then what?? I should have been given other options before the 1st surgery and I was not. Now they change the OC to OP and I became extremely ill over it. To the point I could not eat or drink or sleep. My stomach hurt sooo bad and everyday I got worse and worse. I felt like I was poisioning myself. The FDA approved this?? I want the people who approved it to take it!!!!!

I agree my rumeatologist put me the op, even after being off of it for a week, my stomach won't quit hurting. These doctors need to research these medications before they prescribe them to there patients. I never askèd for the oxy contin, she gave it with percocets 10 3.25 using the percocets as break through. I was also on fentanyl 25 micros it worked wonders but came off during bathing, so she discontinued that and left me with just the percocets. If someone ever tells you a dr is a good dr. That's bulls***. I'm going back to the nice dr I left and stay there. My knees hurt more now than they have in a long time and all I have for pain are the percocets. Rumeatologist quit managing my pain now, won't put me back on the fentanyl patch.

Bulls***. Many back surgeries are unsuccessful. How is it the patient’s fault? If a surgery makes someone worse it is not their fault for tying to get better.

Come on Dr. Sackler we are getting poisoned here, with your new Formulation of the Oxycontin I have never been so sick in my life.
If anyone is interested this is how you can obtain your old medication Go to Canada the same pills marketed with different markings on them they say 80 on one side and CDN on the other, you will have to go to Walmart in Canada on Victoria Island they have a walk in clinic right there in the super walmart.
Then bring your latest perscription bottle with you and also a letter from your physician stating what you take why you take it and how often. Get your functionality back and get your lives back Good luck

I have to agree with Michael James here. You blame the Dr's and they are just trying to help you. No one held a gun to your head and forced you to have surgery. You could have very easily went and got a second opinion. Or a third. You say you did not ask the Dr to increase your meds. I highjly doubt that. You must have said something to him like you weren't getting relief or you still were in pain. You always have the option of going to a different Dr if you feel the one you are seeing is not treating you properly. You say yourself you're not stupid. Then stop acting like you are. You don't want to be on oxy then check into a rehab and try something different.

Yikes, sorry to hear about your trouble, BUT, you need to stop blaming people for your issues. The surgeon isn't to blame for your pain, pain is common when recovering, even up to 2 years later, but quit whining, you want different meds, tell your Doctor, they legally HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU.

Honestly, you always had options, they didn't force you to have surgery, but surgery is much safer than trying to treat pain with Vicodin and Advil, if you disagree you're entitled to your opinion, but you are wrong.

Ask for different meds if you want, but gripe to your Doctor about your problems. No one is to blame but you, that's the truth.
