My pain management doctor told me starting at the end of the month was going to add an ER PK to my IR PK script since I have chronic pain.  I do not have insurance so I will be paying for the meds out of pocket.  The pharmacist told me that the morphine comes in a generic version that would be much cheaper.  It is my understanding that mg for mg the oxy is 2X the strength, which means I will need a higher dose of morphine if I go that route.  Right now I take oxycodone IR and I am pleased with the way it works as well as the way it makes me feel.  However, I have not tried either one of these PK's.  Can y'all shed some light on this for me so I make the right decision?  If the cheaper option works then good, but if I have to spend the money I will.  Please help!  Thanks,

 
NOT WHAT YOUR looking for, but wow, your doc still writes for 0xycood0ne?  And your able to get it filled..

I am not able to get it nor if I could get it, fill it in nyc or Florida...

May I ask where you are?

Ps, you might want to not spell the meds out..it get picked up by search engines that way...

maybe ask a mod to make a creative spelling of your meds since its past the time to edit it??

 
Sorry i didnt mean to sound offensive or anything.  Im just wondering where docs do prescribe that because I was on that and I cant find anyone who will prescribe it in nyc and or florida where im living now. :/

 
The docs still prescribe those meds in the NW. I've never had issues getting Oksea prescribed or filled. 

 
Can someone with knowledge please answer my original question on this post?  Thanks

 
I have never found morfeen in pill form very effective, maybe I was not taking high enough doses, but personally I would pay more for the other if I could afford it.

 
Now that's what I was looking for.  I have just recently tried the time release form of okseakowdoan and do not find it to be nearly as the immediate release.  So what your saying however is it is still better than the morpheen?  How about Oh!Pana!??? Thanks

 
Ew, I hated Op@na, it gave me the worst headache /default_sad.png

morphine did nothing at all, opana didnt do much but man what a headache...

the perks im on rock climbers, f3nts, work the best for me

 
My pain doc had me on the morph ER & I hated it. The oxy ER worked well for me u till I had the lap band. He does also give me the 15 immediate release for breakthrough so I like them the best. He still gives me the 40 ox Er but I don't take them. He recently gave me a new list of meds to consider such as the patch, dillies& op@ana. I hesitate to change as I don't know if he would stop the immediate release.

 
@nickiean I still think that you must have the best pain doc in the universe! Most of us would faint if our docs offered even one of these, I know I would.

 
I am super lucky to live in a state that has good pain docs but mine is super good. I do wish he would  switch me to the immediate 3o instead of time release 40. I don't even bother taking them as they don't work since the lap band. I've lost 95 lbs buy the way!! I'm trying to work that out with him. 

Just want to say you rock 2 earls. I haven't been posting a lot mostly I read.

Holy crap! 95 pounds is amazing. I bet you feel so much better regardless of meds. I lost around 30 pounds this last year myself and even that has made a big difference. Shopping for clothes is so much more fun when you can get what you like vs big enough. Plus more energy!

Thanks for the kind words and let's both never go back to our larger selves.

Oh dear, I apologize for going completely off topic /default_ph34r.png

that is why i wrote what i orginally wrote....i would bow down and kiss feet for that med again as DEA is trying to write it off the planet /default_sad.png

 
I have been on the okseacotton er for several years, and have found that the dose needs to be relatively high in order for me to really feel the effects. 30-40 mg range, plus still had the ir for breakthrough pain. The oksea er does give a decent baseline, but the ir by far work better. As for the morfeen, I've only had it in IV form, and didn't care for how it made me feel. Drops my blood pressure thru the floor. 

 
My Pain mgmt doctor prescribes a very good combination to relieve the major chronic pain in my back.  It may seem like a lot but it works like a charm:

Celebrex (arthritis, not considered a big drug)

Oxcee IR (4X per day, 10)

Oxceecontoon ER(3x per day, 20 mg)

Celebrex (for nerve pain)

Lyrica for nerve pain)

Vals (for when I need them)

The problem with the Oxcee IR is your pain is continually going up and down and you never get a real chance for pain relief.  The Oxceectin will provide a long term solution and you only take the oxcee for breakthrough. 

I would cry without my pain doctor. I feel 70% better with this cocktail medicine.

Hope this helps.  P.s.  I am in Southern California

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: @WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  4. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  5. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
