So im prescribed 60-80mg Oxycontin a month and with these new pills not being as effective I cut the pills up in quarters and chew the pieces through out the day, in addition I get 150- 30mg Roxy's (IR's) so 5 a day that I snort. Sounds great BUT im getting to the point that even my teeth and gums just ache and im assuming its from the oxy's has anyone else experienced this? I feel like these pills have such a grip on me its getting kinda scary.....Not sure if there is hope or not, I have tried to cut back but when you have the pills its real hard to say no-
I personally am on 9-10 15mg roxys and 3 opana 20s a day so that is around 270mgs aday, i havent had any problems with teeth or gums hurting. how well does the meds work for what they are prescribed for?? I ask because snorting your roxys you arent getting the best bang out of them, there is better Bio availablity taking them orally, now i also blow my 15s one reason is i like to mix them with my opana lines, and the other is it helps prevent opiate constipation, lol....sounds stupid but once i started blowing them my constipation went way down. That and if i let them sit under my tongue constipation went down. And allot of pain patients know about having the pills it being hard believe me!!!!!
As far as snorting them I think I fell in love with the habbit and the taste of the drip more than anything. The reason Im in pain mgmt is I was in an off-road vehicle accident and broke my leg in about 12 places so my knee is Titanium and the rest of my leg is screws and plates etc.... I have been to the dentist 3 times in the last 10 days and they cant find anything wrong so im assuming its the chemicels from the 80mg oxys kinda like burning my mouth. I wish there was a way to quit because I could make more money from selling the pills than I do at my full time job!
dude that sucks for you.. i'm in the same boat as you except my gums and mouth doesn't hurt .. when you say 5 a day? Do you spread them out through out the day? And can you still feel the effect of blowing a few? 4 days ago I blew 4 in one line and felt nothing .. I got tired and nodded but no longer feel the euphoric feeling .. EVER .. it sucks man
Ya I spread them out in fact sometimes I will cut them in half just so I have MORE times, I know its sounds silly. I agree with you at first it was fun now 2 years later it does suck the euphoric feeling is definitly gone. It would seem like with the amount of pain pills im doing I wouldnt be hurting this bad but it gets to where the pills dont do anything other than make you not feel like crap but they dont make me feel good like they used too thats for sure. When the dentist gave me a script for 12 Vicodin 5 mg I kinda just laughed inside but I didnt want to tell him how I was taking my pain meds for fear I might get in trouble with my pain Dr. because right now he will pretty much give me whatever I ask for within reason-
yea i was on Oxycontin and when they switched to the OPs they just sucked.....it may be something in them bothering you, not sure tho....have you tried opana???? that you could snort, and would be more effective than the OP80s and then you could just take your roxies orally or chew them and then see if that allows your mouth to feel better.....just an idea....or if it still bothers you than it may just be the oxy its self. But the opana is a waste to just eat/chew them IMHO
i posted before i read all the new posts, i would def check out opana if he would allow you to, and if you can afford them, they are a little expensive depends on insurance...
Ya my co-pay is the same for the oxys and opana = $120 which really isnt bad. I did try Opana before but to me it didnt seem as good BUT that was back when oxycontin 80's were the old formula, now your right they might be better. I was always afraid of the bad withdrals everyone was talking about but I think im screwed either way really........
exactly man .. just doing shit to avoid withdrawals.. but at the same time there's a small part inside that still attempts to achieve that euphoric status so i still try with no success .. but man it sucks i tell you.. where ya from??
yeah the euphoria is def gone, now its mainly these 3 in this order, lol Kill the foot and back pain (not like it used to, but still effective) Not to get sick in w/d catch a nod here and there......
