Hi Centurion, To be honest with you, you are not going to find another doctor that will prescribe oxycontin 4X/day. My guess is that the reason your doctor is cutting you dose is because the DEA is...
Hi Carl, Having withdrawl symptoms for that length of time would be very rare. I would be inclined to think that your symptoms may be from your ulcerative colitis rather than withdrawl. Diarhea,...
No need to apologize. We all have those days, including myself. When you have to learn a bunch of medications, it is pretty easy to jumble some of them once in a while. Best wishes, kurt...
HI Jen, Tylenol is often used for fever, pain, and Headache, but it has no antiinflammatory ability. Doctors really should know better than to suggest it to treat inflammation. Usually NSAIDS such as...

HI Anon, I would talk to your doctor about these feelings. It may be that you are having some simple seizures. As darren said sleep deprivation is often a trigger for seizures. So I would talk to...
