I Need A Replacement Drug For Oxycontin
UpdatedI am using these for pain management, not recreation, so I don't need anything I have to crush up or inject.
I am currently on 3 (three) oxycontin pills a day (80mg), This drug has become amazingly expensive, and I am getting to the point to where I cant afford it much longer. It went off patent for a while a year or so ago, but apparently, they reformulated it, and i'm stuck with the name brand drug and the name brand prices. It's killing me.
So, I'm looking for something that is a generic drug that I could get that would do the equivalent of the 80 mg oxycontin extended delivery meds that I'm currently on. This is strictly a financial decision, so the drug name you suggest must be a generic form of something that is currently on the market and available.
Please do not suggest methadone, as I was on methadone for over a year and hated the medication. I got off the pill myself but it wasn't fun. It is apparently more addictive than the oxycontin i was then put on, so that's the last thing I need. I just want a generic named drug that can substitute for my current script of 80mg oxycontin, 3x a day.

This is exactly the predicament I am in. It works fine, but apparently I am over my $5000 allowed yearly amount, so everything for the next 3 months will be full price! I don't know what to do! Did you get any answers?
