When God starts taking care of the horrid pain I have on a daily basis I will quit using this medication. To call the makers criminal is typical for a bible thumper. Yes people die from the drug, but the people who die are those who are the criminals. I doubt there are even a handful of death due to OD with patients who are taking the medication as directed by a real doctor not a quack who dishes out pills. Your comment would mean that car manufactures should also go to hell since they make cars that are used by people to commit crimes like bank robbery and such. I am pretty safe in assuming that you are not a suffer of a terminal illness or life long pain management patient or you would not make such a strong comment. When you have a family member with a severed spine who can not walk, control their bowles, or even bath themself who explains the pain to be similar to a hot icepick being stabbed in and out of their back bone over and over again try praying for relief and see how it gets you.

Purdue Pharm makes Oxycontin. Look them up on the web. My son, who had no insurance, and was laid off so had no income, was able to get the drug for his pain management directly from them for a $25 copay monthly. It is highly regulated and involves much medical information from the pain management doctor before being approved, but was a godsend when he needed his pain management medication. (he has a reconstructed/pieced together hip from a motorcycle accident 5 yrs ago that has failed and now has barely manageable ongoing bone & muscle pain)

My husband was injured 1992,He has taken EVERY pain drug(over200) I have proof, Oxycontin is the ONLY drug that gives him relief from his pain. He's had several detoxes and it only proved he'd rather take it and control the pain or let the pain control him. We are in the Medigap Hellhole and can't afford the drug-(worker's comp has abandone him) We need help and don't know where to go.

I work at Purdue Pharma and they are the only legitmate pharmaceutical company that makes OxyContin. I would recommend calling them and telling them your issue. They will hopefully solve it. It might be a subsidized payout, sample, etc. For the people who say it does not work, try amplifying the dosage as it can go all the way up to 160mg tablets (which is VERY strong & costly).

"IF", you KNEW REAL PAIN, and KNEW how much this drug "TRULY" helps those of us, who "REALLY" NEED IT!!!!! "YOU would "NOT", be saying the things that you are!!!! As with "ANYTHING", (food/drinks/meds) "some people" do abuse them! And, YES it does destroy them and those around them! BUT: there is a HUGE, difference in "TRULY NEEDING THIS MEDICATION" and "USING IT"!!!!!!! Until YOU walk in someone else's shoe's, you can NOT judge them!!!!!

I am on a Patience assistance Program thru PERDUE PHARMACY for oxycotin but their Reformulated Version does not have the same effects as the orginal oxycotin . Is there another company that offers a program for oxycotin assistance that is made with the orginal ingredients.

Yes I am wondering how the patients are suppose to be able to get their scripts when they want you to pay $600.00 for their scripts. My daughter has stage iv colon cancer that has spread to her liver & in her abdomial wall so far this has been her only way to get her pain under control so she can fuction as she has a 2 year old that she has to take care of . How do i make sure that she can still get her meds without us going broke to pay for it medicare doesn't want to pay for it so I get to watch my child suffer with the ungodly pain that she has to go thru each & every day. who can i get in contact with so i can get the meds that she needs.

Oxycontin is manufactured by Purdue Pharma, which is a very generous company when it comes to Patient Assistance Programs. I can't stay what they offer today, but I used to receive a full months supply for free - and it didn't take long at all for me to get into their program. Here's the link you need to apply: http://www.rxassist.org/pap-info/company_detail.cfm?CmpId=103

Good luck to you and God Bless!

I think some people really need them, for sure. But a vast army of people abuse them. It's really sick. My brother is a case and point. It has ruined his body and life. My neighbor is one, too. She is a mess as well, and does some pretty off the wall stuff to get her pills. My friend who has recently passed was a quadriplegic and had to take them though. She would try some days not to take it but would be balled up in pain. She would sell half of her perscription to pay for it because it was so expensive.

Wait till you have to get off of them. The hell of a lifetime. I was in major withdrawals for almost 3 weeks and still took months to get away from the side effects.

You neglected to say one thing, you have to be 200 percent under the poverty level in order to get help with this drug. That level for one person is a little over 23,000. So by the time you pay the doctor, get CT scans, MRI's, pay for your food rent/mortgage etc, a lot can't even pay for the copay. FACE IT, the company that make oxycontin spent a fortune putting another company out of business that was making a generic for it. So who's in bed with the FDA? For 60, 30 mp ills it cost $500, that's 8.33 a pill. Also many that rely on this drug because they NEED it normally has to have other pills as well for other problems. If the FDA didn't squash the generic, it could've been some help. Yes the fat cats are getting fatter, strat email your elected official, they don't have anything to do but ruin America.

Is that the same as oxycodone? My father takes that for his back pains for a deteriorating disk.

Where do you live? I am in KY, I am medially retired from the Federal government and disabled. I have been in pain management for 10 years and have taken several different pain medications. Now due to new laws in Kentucky, our doctors are afraid to prescribe me what I have taken for the past five years. For the last 10 months of my life they have decreased my dose leaving me in more pain and bed ridden. I am unable to do even the simplest of tasks. I feel like I am dying and now I'm on a high dose of blood pressure meds because my pain in uncontrolled. I am a real patient that has lost the help of this medication because it was abused. I have done nothing, but I am treated criminally. Does Perdue have attorneys to help the patients that have been hurt by the new laws? If so please help us. Hurting in Kentucky. Please HELP the real patients. We are suffering in silence, and the doctors
we trust to care for us are turning their backs on us for fear of losing there jobs.

I totally agree with you! This is a very effective and safe medication when taken as intended to be taken but the drug abusers have given it a bad name! Don't blame the company who came up with this very effective pain medication for the deaths of people who obtain it illegally and abuse it. It is not intended for them and because of them the medication has been reformulated and is no longer as effective and patients who legitimately take it are needlessly having to suffer!
