20-325 Oxycodone / Acetaminophen

Updated

I have been taking qty of 120/mo,10-325 (percocet) for 2yrs with no side effects. My new MD reduced the qty to 90 and all was ok. He then reduced the qty to 60/mo 2 weeks ago and now my back pain has increased so much I can no longer continue my 1/2 mile daily walks. On his progressive timetable that qty is to be reduced to 45/mo which will be intolerable. I think I will be ok taking the same strength for 75/mo or would I be better off taking a qty of 60/mo 20-325 extended release? I am 84 yrs old and do not smoke or drink.

Has he stated why he wants to lower it so much?

May doctors are trying to be extra cautious about how much they prescribe of controlled substances, and why they prescribe them, since they do have to account for every prescription. If the government feels they are prescribing inappropriately, they face serious sanctions, which could include fines, and losing their license.

The FDA warns that Oxycodone carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, headache, dry mouth, constipation, and nausea.

Is your doctor a pain management specialist, or a general practitioner?
