Which Is Stronger 15mg Ms Contin Or 15mg Oxycodone
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I wonder what the difference is between 15MG MS Contin vs 15 Mg Oxycodone. Is there a substitute for MS Morphine..I take 2 30mg MS Contin twice a day and also with that I take 15MG MS Contin twice per day..which of course is 45mgs at a time..with 3 15mg Oxcodone for breakthru pain. I was taking 20 mg Oxycontin 3 times a day etc. But my insurance wasn't paying for the oxy. So what I take now is paid for. Do any of you have any suggestions of what would work better for the pain..since I changed to morphine it doesn't seem to do the trick..this is long..but any answers would be very appriciated..Thanks..

Same! I took Hydrocodone for back pain and nothing else would work. Well, that was from withdrawal! Best thing I ever did was to get off pain meds!

Pain is real and awful but get off drugs. Opioids make you worse the withdrawal is awful and I had one doctor he wouldn't help me ween off. I've heard too many honest people like me and we suffER while addicts are making it impossible to get relief. I've never been high. I don't even drink but it's true oxy increases your pain. Stay on morphine and codeine the only 2 opiates derived from plants not created for God knows what in a German lab in the mid 1900's I think getting your life back is hard but worth it. I'm in pain but am on 1/4 of what I was 6 months ago. I'm tired of pills running my life and most true pain patients agree and want off this rubbish. I pray for myself and all of you struggling but we'll only stay sick HOOKED on pain killer's

I was on Oxy 15mg 4x a day for 2 years and now my doctor has put me on MS( instant release) 15mg 4x a day . Its been a week now and Im suffering terrible pain! Ive had two total knee replacements due to Avasvular Necrosis and have 3 bulging discs in lower back and pain from sciatic and faucet joints. (Both sides) My doctor changed my meds due to people abusing Oxy's so bad that our state is barring down on PMP and can no longer perscribe them. And if I mention that I would like to try a certan narcotic, I am treated like Im an abuser. How can I go about telling him that the MS 15mg doesnt touch my pain and need something stronger or another narcotic without him threatning to drop me as a patient?

Ask him for OPANA 10MG immediate release & OPANA 20MG extended release.. I've been on percocet 10's, oxycontin 20mg ER, fentanyl patches, roxys, and not one of these can equal to OPANA! 10mg opana.= 20 my oxycodone

I think all the good drugs which are timed release are too expensive and insurance will not cover it and I seriously have to wonder why except that our insurance companies and drug companies are playing God. I have taken all these meds and have to admit the two best ones out there which are timed release are the Oxycontin and the Hydromorphone which is better and stronger than the Oxycontin. I was put on Methadone which works with the Oxycodone wonderfully and stays in your body for days. I loved it!! Then our wonderful DEA took us all off of it. It is now free for opiate addicts. Anyway I was put on the Fentanyl patch and it seems to do a much better job than the MS contin and insurance will pay for it. It is a bit more expensive than the MS Contin as the MSContin and Methadone were and are the cheapest ones out there. I hope this helped a little but honestly I think we should start doing something about these drug companies and how much they make you pay for drugs that you need, not just pain meds, but life sustaining meds that people have to have to stay alive!!

Methadone is amazing. I am on three 8 mg suboxone and my doc is such a ****, he won't even give me subutex which is stronger, but 3 subutex 8 mg a day keeps me happy and I've never met anyone with my tolerance. I prefer methadone.

Thank you for this post. I appear to be as healthy as a horse but I'm not at all. The doctor that I'm see for pain is not convinced of my complaints. It's truly hard for me I fill like I'm dying a slow painful death.

Since Ms Contin is a timed-release product and the Oxycodone is an immediate release product, you will see a difference in the analgesia between the two. I have taken both for nearly 12 years, until last week, three times a day. Thus, your Oxycodone will be much shorter-acting. The Oxycodone is, IMHO, necessary to cover those first two hours of the MS Contin's building up in the body to full analgesia. And yes, your body DOES get addicted, even if you dont have an addictive personality. Furthermore, according to my pain clinic doctor, these drugs also actually increase your sensitivity to pain, in effect eventually causing more pain. Consider investigating Mytragena Speciosa, aka Kratom, if its legal in your state or country. Its a leaf from a tree, with the similar action as a narcotic, but it does not seem as addictive, and does not seem to cause a 'high' or over-tiredness. I felt it worked great, indeed helped me withdraw from the narcotics- many people use it for the same... this all happened after my pain clinic went bankrupt, in a period of about a week it closed down, and left many of us in the air with nobody to prescribe our pain meds for us. Unfortunately, I am blessed with many allergies, and became allergic to kratom too. But it may work for you. DONT try it for a high- it'll make you feel yucky if you take too much.

Perocets ARE Oxycodone, both contain Tylenol. Why are so many people so confused about this?

Get away from the tylenol as much as possible it will destroy your liver. The ibuprofen can be dangerous to your colon & kidneys. The opiates have problems too but are actually safer IF used properly.

Way too many doctors are not reliable on this subject, especially pain specialists. In addition mant states laws make it difficult to impossible to change doctors for pain control or prescription problems.

Thank you. There are many corrections & improvements that need to be made in healthcare. Pain control methods & laws are currenty written for the benefit of insurance, pharmaceutical corps, medical industry, judicial/law enforcement budgets & for political effect. A crisis is at hand as people live longer with more chronic pain problems. New diseases like the tick born one I am afflected with cause severe nerve & brain damage & leave people in horrid pain. Cannabis & natural psychoactives could help many with pain, PTSD, death anxiety of terminal patients, etc. The ONLY people who can make these things happen are legislators & the people that vote for them. Unfortunately there are too many who dont care about these things until it happens to them.

Find a new doctor. There are still plenty of doctors that don't discriminate against narcotic users. Just make sure you truly understand the consequences of the dugs and what it is like to withdrawal

I agree, MS contin 15mg is not as effective as the 10mg norco that I take. It seems to be an insurance issue.
