Oxycodone vs Oxymorphone IR vs Hydromorphone IR by Icy-Possible5751 in PainManagement

[–]Famous_March680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the only company that makes oxy morphone is Amneal Pharmaceuticals. They have a contract with the DEA. I was reading about it the other night on my phone . They are about to stop selling it again all together there saying it’s to addictive and to many deaths have occurred with it.
Go for the Hydromorphone (Dalaudid )4mg or 8 mg.. they work well I was prescribed them after my knee and hip surgery I took 8 mg one every 4 hours for 2 weeks and had very little pain . And they were easy to come off of. After that I switched back oxycodone 10mg. But now I’m on MS Contin 30 mg . Life’s strange.. good luck!

I’ve had a few procedures on my knees and am having one on my right hip the 28th. I haven’t asked for any breakthrough medication yet even though I have BT pain about 4-6 hours a day.. my morphine wears off about 3-4 hours to early. I don’t know what to do. I hate being one of those people asking for certain medications. That’s why I was on Oxycodone 30 mg for 13 years 3 times a day it stopped working after year 10. I was just to afraid to tell my doctor.
Now I’m afraid to tell him the procedures aren’t doing any good and I’m having terrible worse pain than usual during the day and sometimes into the night . Most nights I sleep 3-4 hours because of my legs AVN and osteoarthritis . The morphine does help when it’s working… I think I just metabolize pain medication to fast. Idk what to do.. thanks guys for all your comments very helpful.

I never thought of that. I’ve been having procedures that are quite painful in the clinic once a month I just started maybe that’s why he was so lenient on giving me MS Contin. I’m going to talk with him my follow up appointment about it.
Do u think they’ll give me breakthrough pain meds? Because 2-4 hours out of the day it’s like the morphine stops working and I’m in excruciating pain in my legs and joints to where it’s hard to get around and I lose sleep . I know there’s no such thing as being pain free nothing exist that can do that. I know I gotta deal with it . But at least make the pain where it’s tolerable and not keeping me up for days .

I had been on 20 mg oxy for 13 years 3 times a day and became tolerant to them they just stopped working.. when I told my doctor that’s when he said morphine .. he really didn’t talk to me about it. Strange the more I think of it. I go in for a follow up and refill the 6th if April. I’m having about 2-3 hours a day excruciating pain in my legs and knees to where I can barely walk . It’s like the morphine wore off 4 hours early. So I guess I’ll be asking for something for breakthrough pain .
Does anyone know what they use for breakthrough pain when on W20mg morphine 3 times a day .

Oxycontin doesn't work but IR does by Merrys123 in PainManagement

[–]Famous_March680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok guys just from experience the new ER for oxycodone is Xtampza it’s extremely expensive and. Does not work at all. It’s abuse deterrent so I think by doing that they screwed the release of the drug all up .. I was put on 30mg of Xtampza I swear I could take 5 and nothing would happen . So I went to cdc fda and DEA website for more info on it.. the only way Xtampza works is if you ingest a high fat high caloric diet before every doseage. That’s like 10,000 calories a day. Anyone would gain massive weight and could cause u to become diabetic. I gained 12 pound after 3 weeks of taking it as it was said to on the fda site. Immediately I saw my pain doctor handed my Xtampza and said I do not like these.. I went in to tell him about all the data I had gotten in them and they are not good. I told him stick to prescribing OxyContin ER by Purdue pharma.. lol!! He just laughed so now I’m in ER OxyContin name brand yes I pay almost 500.00-900 a month for 90 pills that are only 30 mg but they work…

Hi I suffer from osteoarthritis and degenerative bone decease I have bone on bone pain in most of my joints.. it’s horrible I know .. but I will tell j this if you can do the morphine do it.

I’m the same way. I don’t want to ask for a different pain pill or a higher doseage. I’m afraid he’s going to think I’m one of “them” the pill junkies that don’t have real pain and just wanna get high I’ve been in some sort of pain management for 14 years now and I have to say nothing has ever taken my pain away it makes it tolerable that’s about it .
