Re: Oxycontin/Oxycodone - Who has tried it?

Like poppy said, each med has different effects on people. I was taking 20 mgs OxyContin twice a day and Lorcet 10 for BT pain. Quite frankly, I think the Lorcet helped more. But, on the downside, Im one of those people that it made me kind of sleepy.

Oxy, on the other hand, worked for about the first 5 days I took it and then I guess I built up a tolerance to it that quickly. Also, it kept me awake and made me wired. And yes, I took it the right way, didnt crush it, etc. Its time released and supposed to last 12 hours, but I was hurting again in about 6 or 7 hours. I really dont know what all the hype is about with oxy, I never had the euphoric feeling, its overpriced and I think there are better pain meds out there. But once again, everyone is different. Just make sure that if you begin taking oxycontin and decide to stop, please taper. I tapered off of a rather small dose over a period of 3 weeks and did fine. No w/d whatsoever.

As far as getting it online, I wouldnt suggest it. If you have pain bad enough to warrant the med, I would go see a doctor.

Good luck-
Karrie
