Oxycontin Op 30 Mg Ter

I just got put on the oxycodone 30mg and at my next visit I am then getting put on oxycontin. But we r trying to figure out which strength would b appropriate. If I take one 30mg oxycodone every 4 hours what do u think would b the appropriate strength for the oxycontin? ## Based on a number of user reviews I've come across, people have been saying that the primary difference between Oxycodone and Oxycontin is that oxycontin is a time-released version of oxycodone; possibly making it better for patients who need long term pain management (versus acute short-term pain). These users also state that the dosage strength is pretty equal between the two, although I'm sure this varies for each individual. An opinion from another patient suggests that the time-released oxycontin may not ...

Will oxycodone be ## Because my insurance wouldn't pay for my OxyContin witch was only 15 mg my doctor put me on 15 mg moraphine and one a day 5mg Percocet for breakthrough pain I don't think it works as well and fell like I am having withdraws ## @Chuck, Sorry to hear about your situation.... Respiratory depression has been known to occur under the use of opioids (whether it be morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, etc)... So there's really no way of knowing if switching to another opiate is going to make any significant difference in terms of this risk factor (at least to my understanding). NIH.gov also goes on to list, "difficult or troubled breathing; irregular, fast or slow, or shallow breathing; & shortn...

I live outside if cola.sc any suggestions. .please?,, ## Hello, Just Tina! How are you? Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, a pain specialist is going to be your only option, if you require such medications on a long-term, ongoing basis. Has she offered to refer to a clinic? If so, that would actually be the quick and easy way to get the help you need. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness,...

Thank you ## I think I heard that the makers of Oxycontin (Purdue/Pharma) just changed their Oxycontin tablets with some sort of a plastic covering. I read about it about six months ago, saying that they will be moving to this new formula. It is supposed to curb abuse of the medication. Obviously it is working! Sorry dude. ## It is not a plastic, since that could not be broken down by the human body. However, yes they cannot be broken down to be abused, like the previous Oxycontin could be.
