How To Iv Oxycontin

i have been taking pain pills since 1995. i live in tampa but work in nevada so i go btw two drs when im home or working. Well, i guess they are out of the blues here in nevada or the pharm messed up but ive been getting 3 generic oxys a day, which work GREAT for me, i was overtaking the roxies these actually i can take every 8 hours w great results. well, stupid old me decided to be honest and tell this old man dr in nevada about the error. now he says i can only take them twice a day, which results in me feeling like s**t 8 hours a day. my question is are ppl typically / ever / commonly given 3 oxys a day, meaning every 8 hours? this man and i are about to battle it out, because i refuse to live in pain and detoxes when there's no need, and i could have said nothing and was honest...

are there any gerneric oxycontin.the new op 40 make me ill.ive ben on this drug for years now,i dont want to change ## Unfortunately, no! Due to the proliferation of abuse and diversion, it is now only manufactured by Purdue. Even when the ones on the market listed as being from Ethex are made by Purdue via the same formulation, they are just a licensed distributor. There have been many complains about them not being as effective and causing odd side effects. I wish I had a solution for you, however, since you don't want to switch medications, the only thing I can suggest is that you let both Purdue and the FDA know of the problems you are having with it. You can do so by calling the following numbers: Purdue 888-726-7535 FDA 800-332-1088 Have you talked to your doctor about this pr...

I need a new pm doc anywhere in Louisiana or nearby state asap. I have med rec;s and legit pain but my doc got n2 trouble and cannot prescribe my meds any longer. ive been on oxy's for years and cant find a doc who will take my case. ## The first question I always find myself asking people in your situation is... How have you been looking for a new doctor? And the reason I'm asking is because if you're calling them and telling them you need to have certain medications prescribed, none of them are likely to even let you get in the door, because most doctors will see that as drug seeking behavior. Learn more pain management details here. Thus, what you need to do is set up an appointment with a new doctor and just make sure they get a full copy of your records. When they see w...

Hi ther ive been taking oxycontin for the past 2+ yrs (prescribed by my doc). I usually can only make my monthly script last about 2 weeks and then i find myself having to buy them on the street:( (which is very very expensive) im so sick of planning my life around these F***ing pills and have decided that tomorrow morning is the day i quit. ive taken (hopefully my last)40mg pill at midnight tonight and will be w\d free till prob about 8am. For the past yr and a half ive been up to 200-400 mg of oxy a day depending on what i can afford except when i have my script i tend to take more then. Ive been reading all day about w\d and the time it takes 2 get off but if there is anyone who can give me some pointers or support it would be greatly appreciated. Ive managed to keep my addiction sec...

i do not think the op version of oxycontin are working.they seem to go through me without digestion.i have literally seen them in the toilet up to 6 hours after ive taken them so im not getting relief from the pain. are the old version ones still made and provided to pharmecies? ## No, the old ones are no longer available. However, it is normal to find the tablet shell of these time released Oxycontin OP in your stool, later. However, it is just the shell, the medication is slowly released from it. As to the problem with them not working, there have been many complaints about this, as well. You can contact both Purdue Pharma and the FDA to let them know of your complaints, the more people that do so, the more attention they will pay to the problem. Purdue Pharma number for drug safety/m...

These posts are yrs old... in australia this tablets have just arrived and ive had a day on them and have belly problems I have had pancritus and gall bladder taken out im scared re stomache and from wot ive read here u guys in usa have had no luck so I may be out of luck too. I guess I will jluave to wait and see if u can't get anywhere wot luck do we have? ## Ask Apotex or Sandoz australia for public release dates for new generic tablets approved by federal government here. Let us know! ## Mate I'm in Australia on methadone program... But my pharmacist said there is definitely a generic coming bout it's going through court. They've been made and are waiting on a ruling. Probably end of August. Try oxynorm. There only 20 mg but are just as good.

I have been in Pain management since 2004 in California and just Moved out there to muskogee Oklahoma... unfortunately there are NO doctors here willing to treat my pain i was on a regiment of 80mg Oxycontin 2X daily 10/325mg Norcos every 4 hours and 4mg IV dilaudid as needed for breakthrough pain... i am in search of a doctor out this way who is actualluy willing to perscribe these meds... thanks ## Well, the first question I have is, how are you checking with the doctors about getting help? The reason I am asking is because if you're calling various doctor's offices and asking if they'll treat you and prescribe specific medications, then you will pretty much always get told no. When someone does that, doctor's and their staff are taught to see it as drug seeking behavi...

I'm sorry, but a PCP can no longer write such prescriptions, due to the new regulations that were put in place last year. If you require such medications on a long-term ongoing basis for the treatment of chronic pain, you'll have to see a pain management specialist. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential ...

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.

ive been on these for about 7 years and was just asking coz my teeth are slowly getting worse also on oxynorm amitriptoline seratail co-codamol and have just started on fentanyl patches please help ## Your teeth can be affected by many medications, especially narcotics. The problem is caused due to the fact that they tend to sap the minerals from your body, plus they cause dry mouth, which allows more bacteria to sit on your teeth. From the medications you are taking, all of the narcotics, the Oxycontin, Co-Codamol, Oxynorm and the Fentanyl can cause a loss of calcium, as well as dry mouth. And the Amitryptiline can also cause dry mouth as a side effect. Many people on long-term narcotic pain management end up with severe dental issues and a lot have lost all their teeth and required de...

I am not a big fan of the formula change but find the op oxycontin to still work on my chronic pain. The main thing I notice is Ill get only 8 hours of relief where the older formula had lasted longer and stronger. This new formula also takes 45 minutes to get going even on empty stomach. but it does work on the pain once it kicks in. im waiting now as i just took my oxycontin about 14 minutes ago and beginning to lose my vision(thats the first sign for me is i get tunnel vision and itching) but just saying, i was on oc formula 12 years and been on this formula 2 months so i dont like it alot but as im getting used to the pills and how they work best,etc, ive learned to still prefer oxycodone over dilaudid for my pain...period. dilaudid is weird, it takes a while to come on and makes me...

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Or you could look into trying a different medication, altogether.

It's been so hard to get them filled where I live in PA. The pharmacies r going crazy with their power. They don't take any new patients. Gotta live within so many miles, it's crazy. Like I need them or i become sick with withdrawals and they don't care but they will fill anybody's script for oxycontin or strong pain pills even if it's a young kid. It's ridiculous. ## Zig, That's so true. What makes it even harder is that you have subutex and not suboxone. To the misinformed that sadly enough includes pharmacy staff they immediately see visions of addicts using this protocol for I.V. purposes. Now I'm not naive enough to say that doesn't happen to a fraction of users but they lump all users together and form a belief that these drugs lack medical ...

Mainly for Iv but can be ingested. ## YEs, if you're on the regular release formulation, you may want to ask your doctor about using the time release formulation for longer pain control. As was already mentioned, it's called Opana ER. Does anyone else have any ideas to add? ##...
