OxyContin

When I just started to take this OxyCodone medication it was pretty beneficial and I was happy that I’ve started to take it, it helped me in easing the chronic pain but later everything changed when I had a back operation not so long ago. Because of the bad side effects I was experiencing my dosage was brought down. Initially I was taking a dosage of 120 mg a day but now I am taking only 25 mg a day for a couple of days now. I don’t know what would have been happen if I would have stopped taking it completely because reducing the dosage has been certainly stressful dealing with the withdrawal effects. Anyway, I have to tell you that learning how to cope with the withdrawal symptoms each day (my GP was helping me with this) has helped me to deal with this bad regression of the dosage. My GP become my counselor for a couple of weeks now and this has helped me greatly. I am taking this medicine for a period of about 4 months plus or minus and I have big hopes on being totally free of this OxyCodone withdrawal symptoms in at least the same of time I was taking it. Obviously I would want to make them disappear even earlier but I don’t really know if this is possible so, I am ready to deal with them for 4 months now. there’s no doubt that this medication has helped me to ease the pain I was suffering from but it stopped helping after I had the operation and moreover it has been a painful journey dealing with the withdrawal symptoms. Lately, I am searching very much for an alternative medication and if somebody knows one, I would be happy to know its name. thank you for your attention.

I injured my back very bad into an accident and I herniated 3 discs and had 3 failed surgeries and a ton of absolutely ineffective pain killers. My doctor gave me this medication until a cure for my spinal nerve damage would be found and there’s nothing more to say that wonderful! I am able now of doing simple things that I wasn’t able to do prior to take the drug. I can enjoy my life again near my husband, I can walk my dog and I can clean my house! In other words this drug gave me my life back. I think that the key is that I’m taking extra care about how much I’m taking because if someone wouldn’t be very serious about the possible addiction properties this drug has, it can simply make an already bad situation into one a lot worse. I don’t have side effects and I’m enjoying my life again. That’s because I’m using the drug with great care as I said above. I just wanted to let other know that oxycontin is good, but use care with it.

I was suffering from chronic pain for a really long time and I have tried many medications in order to combat it’s effects but nothing worked. I can say that OxyContin is the most effective and the most tolerable medicine for me especially compared to those I’ve been before. Now I’m taking this drug for approximately 10 or 11 years and as I said it’s quite effective but I cannot say that it is perfect. Over all of these 11 years I have had to raise my dosage periodically until I reached (as I know) the highest dosage of 210 mg of this medicine in 24 hours. As I know, there’s no point in raising higher than this level because a higher dosage won’t have any more effects and there’s a risk that side effects I have would be even worse. Now, the only thing I am abe do is to live with the same level of pains I am living now. I doubt that there are other medicines that would work better but if somebody of you knows something you may PM me the list of drug you think that will help. I’ve tried many of them before so there’s a possibility that I’ve tried your suggested drug too. Side effects are very mild but I don’t like that it causes erectile dysfunction. In the beginning I wasn’t sure whether this medicine is responsible for this but later I’ve talked to many others who take this drug and they agree with me. Developers of this drug claim that this drug doesn’t affect erectile dysfunction more than 1% but IMO it affects much more. Take care everyone and I wish you to be healthy! 

Hi everyone, I want to report that I have finally found a real pain management I was looking for a long time! OxyContin is really working for my chronic pains comparing to the previous medicines I was taking that never worked! I would say that this drug is perfect before but now I don’t know why they switched to a generic version and this IS a problem for me. I do know that there should not be any difference between brand oxycontin and its generic form but there is and there’s a bad one. When my doctor firstly prescribed me this drug, it worked perfectly, much effectiveness without any side effects but now after I started to take the generic form the effectiveness is the same but I have one side effects: I started to experience horrible headaches occasionally. I have never had them when I was taking the brand Oxycontin, too bad it started now. Even though the headaches are not occurring 24/7 they are still disturbing me because they are really awful! I would like to get back my old Oxy and I really wish that someday they would rethink their choice. Other than that everything is just perfect and I would recommend it anyway. I take it for about one month and I don’t know the effects for the long term use but until now it is good. I wish good luck to everyone and regardless of what drug you are taking don’t forget to take care!
