I saw my Dr last week, and he took me off most of the IR drugs, and put me on OxyContin 20mg twice a day, and left me with the Percocet 10 for BT pain. So far it seems to be working pretty well....
I take oxycodone, but have also taken hydrocodone. If you read the pamphlets that come with both, one of the possible side effects is headaches. I too get migraines, and there are times when I need a...
Part of the reason I want to get on an ER med is that I wake up in severe pain every day. I am hoping to stop that as it usually takes about 2 hours before I can begin functioning. Also I often...
As I have said before, I will be seeing my doctor in about two weeks to see about switching from Percocet to OxyContin the extended release. If I am taking 4 10 mg Percocet per day, what would be an...
It sounds like a good thing that your husband is willing to go to a doctors appointment with you. I would ask many questions of the doctor that you think your husband might want to ask himself but...
Switching doctors can be very stressful. I have been with my PCP for many years now, and he has no problem writing me the pain meds. I am hoping he doesn't want me to switch to a p.m. because the PMs...

All I know is my own personal experience with pain meds. I take them as my dr prescribes and that's it. I have legitimate pain, and I look at my pain meds as good as gold because they relieve my...
Thanks for the welcome again. I have tried Lyrica but it made my feet swell and I had to stop taking it. I was on Neurontin a long time ago not for this pain but it didn't work for whatever I was on...
Also, I am on a shared computer right now at work and see no way to log out. Is there a way to do that? I don't need all of work knowing my business. I try to keep it pretty private....
Hello all, I am pretty new here, and asked a question before, and I appreciate all the answers, but just wanted to let you in on my issues. First, I have diabetic neuropathy in both feet and ankles....
I am new on this forum, so please forgive me if this has been addressed, but I did not find it. I currently take 3-4 10mg Oxycodone 10/650 per day on a schedule for chronic back and foot pain. I can...
