Hysingla 120

I have been on 8mg Dilaudid and 80mg hydrocodone for about 4 yrs. My doctor now changed me to Hysingla (hope that's right spelling). Anyways, they are 80mg, but had to change back because they didn't work as well. Now he's telling me that between the 2, I'm taking like 12 times the amount of the highest does of morphine given out and is now sending me to a pain doctor. Is that true? ## No, you are not taking 12 times the highest dose of Morphine, but you are exceeding the highest dose that the DEA recommends. They have issued directives that doses be limited to no more than the equivalent of 120mgs of Morphine, per day, some states have lowered it further to no more than the equivalent of 100mgs of Morphine, per day.

I have multiple sources of pain resulting in three surgeries in two years(detailed shoulder & foot/ankle and sinus) and have been on numerous pain medications throughout the healing and PT aspects of healing.

I have been on Morphine ER, Oxycodone 20 mg x 4 daily for breakthrough! At the same time I took 120 mg of OxyContin in England, so it’s not the gel hysingla, I’ve used fentanyl patch! Everything from tylox, Norco, Vicodin etc! My doctor put me on 80mg hysingla with NO breakthrough medication! This does NOT last 24 hrs as it says and I need something for the breakthrough to function! ## How long have you been taking it? What were you taking before the Hyslinga? More details would enable people to provide you with more details. You might not be on a comparable dosage. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache.
