Has your doctor provided a dosing schedule? if so, it is safest to follow their instructions.

As to answering your question, I cannot get the correct information without knowing why type of Oxycodone you were taking and how often your dosage was.

Were you on Oxycontin that you took twice a day?

ok here we go i was perscribed dilaudid 4mg for my back pain that i have. I have l1-l2 compound compressd fracture's in my back and we all know that not all quacks are giving with their controlled scripts. I went through numerous doctors and pain management doctors before i found the right one who just understands my pain and writes me out a script for 90- dilaudid's per mont for my pain. And i take 1-4mg in the am and chip at another for the rest of the day. I find that if i don't take it as soon as i wake up i feel horrible and in need of relief. I have done herion once in prison and it wasn't my thing and was also addicted to crystal meth for years and smoked buds for those years as well. I am clean and sober and have a heart problem thanx to the meth at 36- years old i find myself at peace with this medication and praise it's miricles. I know im an addict no doubt but this medication is awsome and it helps me get through life and my addicitve personally. I have contmplated snorting them but thought that was too close to my former addict behavior i dunno if you don't take this medication and are curious of it just don't do it. It is an opiate and is just as addicting and street drugs and can very easily be abused and mistreated if you don't know what your doing. But if you are in current pain management and can relate with this pill than you know it is the bently of meds and the rest don't have s*** on it. I think the worst pill i have taken was the morphine man it was s***, made you itch like crazy and was to heavy. The dilaudid is clean no itching or regreats. I have taken this medication for well over 6-months and am extremly happy with the effects and the relief. Thanks for listining to my story and i will be back to share more at a later time...

I want to take these 16mg exalgo er pills (hydromorphone er). Have a low tolerance to opioids, usually cannot take more than 35 mg oxycodone. Is it safe for me to take one of these? Could I overdose? Dont take the oxycodone every day, once a week. Thanks

I am 27 years old with chronic pancretitus, with a pausing sist almost the size of a baseball attached to it that causes severe pressure on my splene. Through many experiments with the whole roxi family I've found a home recieving 180 daludids a month with 60 40mg of oxycontin op for long term pain. I love the d's there great! The only thing wrong I find with them is I find my self takin more then six a day oraly/snorting because they have the tendency to fade away faster then the other drugs. Over all is take daludid over any narcotic. I find myself more relaxed focused, plus I think there a great remedy for anxiety. Besides there a life jaket if ur drowning in immense pain

You should try a pain clinic and also North american Spine in Texas does spinal work a fairly non evasive operation that yields results. I have chronic pain and had a botched surgery that made it worse and am looking into North American Spine for help . Tried T3's,percocet, Oxyconyin and find the dilaudid works best however if you look around it is hard to get off of so helping what is causeing the pain is your best option available.Being in constant pain really sucks just try to do as few meds as possible.

I take 60mg oxycodone every 4 to 6 hours. (usually 4 hours) I also take 4 mg hydromorphone every six hours to help with the tolerance ive gained from takig pain meds for over 3 years. Recently some family member decided they needed my oxycodone more than me and like most doctors they wont refill it except for every 30 days. Well i found taking 16mg of the hydromorphone every 6 hours kept me from having the symptoms of withdraws. Hope this helps someone. JT

Well ive been on oxycodone 30mg 2x a day for 2 years and now I think the dilaudids are 100% better. But with those I withdrawal faster so personally id stick with oxycodone because it seems bigger and better things are worse for you.

Dilaudid is a great pain reliever..all though very VERY addicting..my brother has had many back and heart surgeries..got addicted and began shooting up..not a good idea. hes had sepsis and has almost died 4 times from this..unclean needles isn't the only thing that can cause that though..when shooting up the good and the BAD bacteria goes straight to your heart causing infection. so stay away from the needles! But um..if you're looking for a pain pill that doesn't cause the loopy side effects i know tremadol works wonders.. its non narcodic but works just as well :)

Dude, there is a line between use & abuse. If you wanna get high opiates are for pain...not recrational like coike , pot, or even alcohol. Your dr sees you differently, lush, . Get real discover the line & someone will have to carry your 400lb body to the creamotary...wake up...or not..puke

I have been living on 4mg of dilaudid 4x per day and norco 10/325 for almost a year now for chronic functional abdominal pain syndrome... I notice when I don't take them on a consistent basis I am twice as ill as normal... I live with severe pain on a daily basis and they tell me there is no cure as it is a very rare condition

I have noticed over the past year though that the dilaudid pills don't seem to work as well as they use to... my dr. will not prescribe a higher dose, and I totally understand why... your body becomes so used to the drug being in your system it is almost impossible to live without it...

Granted, it is a great pain reliever and really makes a difference when I am in excrutiating pain, but is there anything else comparable? I feel like my body needs a change...

You should see about a spinal stimulator.I have got some of my life back. It helps alot with the pain. I use to not be able to get out of bed, because of the pain. I have rods, screws and a plate in my lower back. So, trust me. I know pain.

First of all, get as far away from this stuff as you can, I am 30 years old and have been on pain meds(they were legally prescribed) since I was 13 due to several surgeries for bone cancer, ectopic tubal removal, MRSA, and I recently had a lamenectomy discetomy on my L5-S1 just 1 month after giving birth to my son, and now I'm in line for another surgery for another malignant tumor, so I totally understand pain and how intolerable it can be, I live with it everyday, but I am so sick of being a slave to narcotics! I am on oxycodone 10mg, 6x's a day as well as tramadol and dilaudid 4mg, 4x's a day. It sucks, you will get sucked in and if you miss a dose, you will suffer greatly, I pray everyday that I could just quit, and I know the ones out there that use it for fun, you will ignore what I'm saying now but you WILL regret it later for ever using narcotics.. However, I saw someone mention Tramadol as well and it really truly does help so much and it's not nearly as horrible for you as oxy, hydro, or dilaudid.. It really is a miracle drug.. It still can become addicting if taken improperly but I'd much rather deal with tramadol than that other crap.. Trust me, it's a BAD idea to ever get started on narcotics! I really hope at least one person listens to what I am saying..

I respectfully disagree. there is nothing man can come up with that addresses pain effectively as opiates. they are far more kind to your system over the long run. problems arise when they're abused. tolerance develops and one becomes addicted and all sorts of evil can arise. one chases the dragon & it consumes you leading to the nightmares that are all to familiar to those who remain blinded by the sublime poision of extended release opiates, oxy, dilaudid, fentynl, etc. immediate release morphine or just raw opium enough to address pain during active part of the day is all that is necessary. any more is "getting high" or wanting to change the way you feel which leads to addiction escalating beyond all controll. for more info {edited for privacy}.

Yes l have the same problem. I was crushed between a tractor and an implement in July 2014. I have several disc screwed together in my back. Also broke all my ribs on one side and 3 on the other. I have tried bout all the pain meds too-but nothing seems to help. I'm taking 60 mg of morphine 2x a day and hydrocodone when needed.the last few nights been trying a 4gm of dilauldid that I had left over from before instead of the 2nd morphine pill. Been sleeping pretty good it must be working. I don't want to use to much pain Med but doesn't seem like l can stop the pain.

Why don't you find a doctor? I know why......because they would NEVER give you those pills, because you DO NOT need them!

If you send these posts to the President (which is just ridiculous) I would think the DEA would be knocking on your door... assuming he would even read the message of a drug addict, let alone agree that you should continue to abuse drugs.... I would also just bet MOST of you are just addicts and do NOT need that strength of narcotic pain medication! Seriously? All the people in their early 20s with such horrific pain....I doubt it. Get help for crying out loud and make your life count.

CeeJay and all others,
I am writing to the President, on behalf of all of us, chronic pain patients, to stop the DEA/FDA and certain politicians, from including us in their "War on Drugs!" I have copied and pasted some of the posts, on this site and other sites, of people who are in dire need for their medications and those who are losing their doctors and medications, as well. Won't you please join me in writing to the President, at this site:

whitehouse.gov/my-front-porch?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=economy

It's called "My Front Porch" where the President is asking us to write him and tell him what our lives are like. Please write to him, tell him your story, that you aren't drug addicts, aren't trying to feel high on the medications that are carefully being prescribed to you, but now taken away. Be specific on your suffering, also tell him how there are 100 million of us, Chronic Pain patients, some are considering suicide, just to get relief from our suffering.

If you don't want to write to him, directly, (don't worry, you won't be in trouble, if you do, for I've already written him, several times), I started two petitions, for chronic pain patients to sign. When I get, at least 10,000 of chronic pain sufferer's signatures, I will send it on to the President, the DEA, the FDA, and the politicians who all think we are drug junkies. Please, go to this site, sign my petition, which is designed to help us all, get what we need, to live a more humane life. After all, animals are being treated more humanely than we are. This is the link to my petition:

petitions.moveon.org/sign/stop-the-judgement-of?source=c.em.cp&r_by=10582339

Please, don't be afraid to write your full name, there is no danger in doing that, I've already gotten 100 signatures, the more I get, the more I can help us all!

I have a good friend. His name is Dennis Kinch, who has walked the country, making people aware of our demise. He is very ill now, but aside from that, he's written a book, which might help us, but is also producing videos and perhaps put our stories on TV. He is a very kind man.

May GOD bless you all,
Marianne

CeeJay,
I wasn't referring to your post. Please don't be angry, for I have several illnesses, myself, including scoliosis, which is now affecting the lower half of my body. I can't sit, stand, walk or sleep without it causing pain. My other illnesses are Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, (Lupus, RA, Scleroderma, which is the hardening of my organ walls and skin, and other associated illnesses), plus Crest Syndrome. So, I do know what pain is about. I didn't mention your name, in my post, I was referring to those who write about how they abuse it, for pleasure. These are the fools that are making it hard for chronic pain patients to get and keep our good doctors and our medications, that don't give us "Highs" but relieve our pain. I'm sorry if you took, my post personally, I wasn't addressing you.

Are you taking these things for recreational use, only? For if you are, it is people like you who are causing the oppression of the DEA, making them think that real chronic pain patients, are drug addicts! We are losing our doctors, our medications, after everything else, doesn't work, because the DEA has decided we are drug abusers, like you, doing it only for "Highs!" But, we don't get "Highs," from our medications, we don't insufflate it, we don't smoke it, we follow our prescriptions to the letter. We need our medications to just be able to brush our teeth, let alone take care of our loved ones, and other disabled ones. Yet, people who insufflate, smoke, or just take these drugs for their own personal pleasure, are now causing us to lose our doctors, our medications and our pharmacies. Please, if you don't need it, don't do it, stop hurting those who are in real pain! Above all, don't advertise, (brag), about what you do, on the Internet, please be kind and stop! Also, if your cousin passed away from these horrible cancers, don't you think you would get a clue and stop taking these drugs? I had a fiance, who smoked marijuana, all the time, every waking minute of the day. He didn't need it, he just wanted it. Guess what, he died of lung cancer. Just because it felt good, to smoke it. I'm not against, legal, medical marijuana, for I know, through my own, intense, non-curable pain, that it helps some people, (not me), so please don't get me wrong. But, if you don't need it, to live a normal life, without intense pain, stop doing it. There is more to life than abusing drugs, which I think you are doing.

Can I take 50mg Tramadol WITH 4mg Dilaudid? Actually, I need it as an additional medication to "fill in the blank". My doc is only allowing me to take the Dilaudid 3x/day and I have spinal stenosis, scoliosis, spinal arthritis AND am a Melanoma survivor with a left leg that thumps due to lymph node removal. I took 2mg Dilaudid for 2 years and coming off of it was insignificant. Now with all of these back problems, 4mg Dilaudid 3x/day is NOT enough and I need to know if I can supplement with 50 mg or extended release Tramadol. I need to know asap. I'm so p*ssed that I'm ready to dump this doctor, it's a roller coaster ride. Then again if I take Tramadol as a "filler" between Dilaudid doses, what is the worst that can happen? Better hurry to respond. I think I'm going to try it tonight. MY EFFIN BACK HURTS and I'm SUPPOSED to be working (lucky me, it's Friday and the boss has left the building). HELP! We all know that unless you're about to die, no doctor is going to help on a weekend. I go back to the doc next Friday and I'm afraid I'm going to tell her to cram it. I feel that anyone who has not suffered through nerve pain, doctor or not, has NO idea how it feels and moreso, how good it feels to have it disappear. So Tramadol between Dilaudid doses or no???? HELP!!!!
