The only thing I didn't like about oxy is, that it made me grouchy. And it seemed that I needed to take higher doses more frequently than I liked. So my Dr. switched me to MSContin,(morphine) and that works SOOO much better for me, I can't tell you. On oxy, I started out with 10mg. 2 times a day, had to go to 3, 2mo. later 20mg. twice a day, had to go to 3. 2 mo. later that still wasn't enough, AND they are so expensive, Instead of putting me on 40mg.twice a day, she did the MS, 60mg. twice a day, and they work very well. I can go to 3 times a day if I need to, but so far I have only had to do that about 4 times. And the MSContin is about 2/3 of the price. If you Do get the oxy instead, you can apply thru the manufact. for Patient Assist. Program.
The phone # is 800-599-6070. From the very beginning I applied for that and was approved for 1 full year. Free of charge. Express-Scripts is the place that will send them directly to You thru the mail. But since the MS works better for me, I can't use the program, because they only have oxycontin on that. Good Luck
