| Add Oxycontin review I have suffered from chronic pain most of my life. It began when I was twenty years old. Veterans Administration hospital surgeons performed multiple surgeries on my left leg. The final result was the removal of a four-inch section of my fibula and ever-increasing pain in my left ankle region. For nearly forty years I treated my pain with aspirin based pain relievers, due to my aversion to nar ... for chronic pain i have been taking 40 mg 3x a day for 6 years my dr finally gave me a small increase but the insurance company is holding up approval to pay for it other than that the medication works very good 14yrs of taking oxycontin 80 mg x 2 per dayplus 10 mg capsules quick release for break through pain provided me with the abilityto live a partially normal life I have been on OxyContin for 2 years, the first year they worked great getting me out of a wheelchair because of two spinal fusions, I got sciatica on top of my usual chronic back pain, the second year they became less affective, be very wary taking this medication as it is near impossible to go without them after you have been on them any more then a few months, not only are they highly addictive ... MAYBE I'VE BEEN ON IT TOO LONG, BUT IT'S NOT DOING A THING FOR MY CHRONIC FM, CRPS PAIN! | Add Ultracet review I had open heart surgery. At first I was on Oxycontin 10mg every 4-6hours. They agreed that Percocet would give me to much acetaminophen in a day. After the script ran out. I was still in pain for the chest re knitting. No one would refill the Oxycontin. This was suggested. What a relief. Not only have I dodged a dependence problem. This med works better that the other. No pain less tablets per day. I feel fine, not sleepy or weak. After 4 weeks I'm down to 1 every 6-8 hours, if needed, some times longer. I pleased with the results, and know that I can kick it when the time comes to stop using it. This is coming from a over 9 years recovering person. I am taking Ultracet for Fibromylagia and Scleroderma pain. I was on Vicodin and hated how it made me feel plus it did not help that much with my pain. My Dr wanted me to try Ultracet and it has made my life so much easier, I take three a day and I dont feel weird or drowsy, it has kept most of the pain away and I am thankful for a drug that is not an opiate with all the side effects. I pray it keeps working and is not taken off the market like Darvocet was which helped the pain allot.I make sure I take the last dose by 7 pm or I dont sleep well as it tends to keep me awake. I guess you could say for now this med has changed my life for the better , I now get out more and do more with my family, before Ultracet I hardly ever left my home because of all the pain. It does not make me feel sleepy and I can function normally. It has also helped the depression which is a huge plus, not sure if it's because of allot less pain or it just has the ability to help depression. I make sure I eat fiber every day so I dont have any constipation issues. If I could only post a few words I would say Ultracet has made my life worth living again,pain is a horrible thing to have to live with 24/7. | |||
