Half Life Of Oxycontin Ir

Can someone tell me if Someone takes 2-30 mg Oxycodone IR and 60mg Oxycontin ER are they same and dispensed the same into your body if you would cut the ER in half? My friend takes both and she is on mail order. They have made a mix up in her pills so now she will run out of the 30 mg tablets her doctor is 2 hours away and she has to have a driver take her there and that would be me and I am sorry I really do not have the time this week to do it.

Can a 80mg Oxycontin be cut in half and broken down to work immediately instead of the time released? I'd rather use it for breakthrough pain. ## You can't......plain and simple. Oxycontin contains a "plastic" component that does not break up so it can't be turned into an IR from an ER. There are things people are doing instead, rectally, but it is quite dangerous.

I have a friend on oxycontin and he said the pain relief just ...

I live in Virginia. Lynchburg VA 24501 to be exact. I've been on opiates 15+ years now and my doctor is retiring in 3 months. I've got all the MRI's, all my major issues and list's of my meds over these years. I was told I needed pain meds the rest of my life as they can't do operation. I'm on Oxycontin er 30mg 2 a day, 30mg oxycodone ir for breakthrough pain 8 a day, 240 a month. I'll take half of that if I got to as I tried getting off them and almost died, started hallucinations, 14 days of pure hell. In 9 days I went from 140lbs to 98lbs. I had no choice but to get back on them. I got any and everything proving legitimate need for being on meds. I became permanently disabled at age 24. I'm now 39 and I got any and everything a doctor would need to tak...
