Re: Can my doctor just cut me off oxycodone?????
      02/04/04 11:40 AM

Thanks D- for the post, I feel the same way.
But, getting back to my original post.....My doctor did what I thought he would do,he did not cut me off entirely, he lowered my dosage from oxycodone 10/650 three times a day to ONE tablet per day. I figured this would happen eventualy but it would have been nice for someone at the doctors office to tell me this!!
I called the office,told his assistant what I needed, he called back and told me my script was ready.
I get to the pharmacy and the pharmacist says," your total is $108.60!" .....I thought I was gonna fall over every other time it was like $15.00 for 100 10/650 oxycodone. I asked him to call the doctor's office and sure enough he cut me to one pill a day and my insurance will only pay for a 30 day supply. So, I got the 100 and paid out of my pocket!
To make a long story short....I now have a total of 118 oxycodone 10/650,I also have 50 hydrocodone 10/325.
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN......how should I go about doing this without going thru major withdrawel?
I asked the pharmacist,since my doctor didn't bother telling me, if I would have any side effects by cutting my dose. He said as long as I wasn't taking 4-6 pills a day I shouldn't withdrawel.......I guess I will find out.
AGAIN ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
