| Add Oxycodone review I have Head and Neck Cancer,I take 5mg every four hours as needed to relieve pain. the pain never goes away very effective This helped a little when it was first prescribed, but is ineffective now. I've had the dosage increased from 5 mg every 4 hrs when initially prescribed to 60 mg every 4 hrs now, but it has long since stopped helping my b/t pain. I'm happy for anyone who is able to get pain relief!! | Add Vicodin review somerelief Good drug - especially for my sinus infections.
