User Reviews for Oxycodone

oxycodone: I don't care what most say, this is the best pain reliever I have ever had for my chronic pain. No other medicine works like this does. Only problems I ever had with it was the one time I ran out a day early and I had some withdrawals so yes it will give you withdrawals but if you are taking the right amount and doing what you are supposed to, and have a good doctor, that won't be a problem. This is a great drug for people that follow directions and are in severe pain. After a year or so, you will get too used to it, that's when you go on something else for a week or bare the pain and take ibuprofen and then when the week is up it will work again. That's how great this drug is, it works again in a few days!

oxycodone: I took Oxycodone 325mg, every 4 hours after my facial surgery. They worked very well and had to stop taking after a few days for the effects of controlling the pain where to much for me, I went to regular Tylenol afterwords.

oxycodone: It works

OxyContin (oxycodone): I'm on Oxycontin 10 mg a day, 4 x 10 mg percocet a day, 1 Soma a day. Have bulging/herniated L45 disc, as well as small annular tear on L5S1 disc. The problems on those discs...Without the pain-killers, I would be suffering everyday.

oxycodone: I noticed that the relief from pain has diminished from 8 hrs, down to 6 hrs.

Roxicodone (oxycodone): I was taking Oxycontin after 2 shoulder surgeries, then I was in a bad auto accident. Even upping me to 80mg 2 x daily wasn't enough. My doctor suggested the Oxyfast for breakthrough pain, so I tried it. This was the only combination that took away all my pain, so I could work and care for my family. Then Oxyfast was removed from the market and my doctor put me on roxicodone. It doesn't work nearly as fast as the Oxyfast which worked in under 10 minutes, this takes 30 minutes and works almost as well. At 29 yrs old I thought my life was over, but these medications gave me my life back. If it wasn't for these medications I don't know where I'd be now (10 yrs later). I have kidney and liver function tests done 2 times a year with no changes from day one.

At 29 yrs old I thought my life was over, but these 2 medications gave me my life back!

oxycodone: Worked better than all other opiates.

OxyContin (oxycodone): I have had 3 major life-saving surgeries in 11 months, and have tried a number of pain medications. While grateful to be alive, the constant pain had reduced my quality of life to just about zero. I now take Oxycontin 20 mg 2x a day, vicodin 10/325 4 times a day for breakthrough pain. This "recipe" has literally given me my life back! Occasional constipation is the only real side-effect I've experienced. 6 months ago I spent most of my life in bed. Now I am able to participate in all the activities I enjoyed before the surgeries, and take care of the day to day responsibilities of housekeeping, etc, without help.

Roxicodone (oxycodone): This is the best out there. I have been on Roxicodone for 2 years and it is the only pain medication that actually takes away the pain and it doesn't even make me tired.

oxycodone: I was not satisfied with the effectiveness of this drug for my earache.

oxycodone: I have a L5 S1 herniated disc. And have been through MANY pain medicines and this is the only 1 that has done anything. I have been on it since January 09 and have had the dosage increased once. I was referred by my family doctor to the NeuroSpine Clinic.

oxycodone: The only problem I have with this pain medicine is the itching I get from it. I had neck fusion surgery in November and lumbar fusion on January 13 and emergency back surgery 2weeks later. This is the only pain medicine that has ever really helped control my pain.

oxycodone: I fell 25 foot off a roof at work and shattered both heels and ankles, in October of 2008 and from the trauma of the fall and surgeries I got RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy). If it where not for the Oxycontins I would not be able to do what needs to be done day to day. And they work well with the other medications I am on.

OxyContin (oxycodone): Works miracles for Fibromyalgia. I don't ever want to experience the pain of a nerve attack without Oxycontin ever again. I'm 19, so I can't just stay home and suffer and lounge around. I have a life to live, and if it weren't for Oxycontin I wouldn't be able to perform simple every day tasks. I will say though it is much, much safer to stay with the lowest possible dose, which are the 10mg ones (I don't take generics so there are probably lower doses, I just don't know of them). If you use Oxycontin in moderation and as prescribed it is easy to control dependency. They also work great for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Hope this helps.

OxyContin (oxycodone): It allows me to get out of bed. I can't imagine living without it.

oxycodone: Had lower back surgery, disc removed, nuts and bolts installed. Oxycodone helped with the recovery. No side effects. If used as prescribed an excellent pain medication.

oxycodone: Awesome for teeth pain.

oxycodone: The only thing I don't like about this medicine is that it doesn't work for very long...3 hours at the most.

OxyContin (oxycodone): I have been on Oxycontin for over a year now and it has helped me tremendously although I only take 30mg XR 3 times a day and IR for break through pain 3 times a day. I am not in pain most of the day. I awake in the morning feeling crappy but take an IR and within 1/2 hour I am fine. I do not feel "high", I can function normally and even care for 3 grandchildren I am now raising. So, without this medication, I'd be on short term pain medicines that do nothing but make you sleep. I was on Roxicodone for a year as well and they took me off at my request and because I needed pain medicines for the long term I thank whoever is responsible for finding this medication for us, who depend on it, to let us lead normal (best of our ability) lives.

OxyContin (oxycodone): I have been on Hydrocodone 10 /500 and Norcos 10/325 for a year. He recently moved me over to Percocet 10/500. I was still taking 4-5 at a time 3 to four times a day and functioning fine, going to school and taking care of my kids without a hitch. I could not afford to take them anymore at 100 dollars with no insurance for a script.

OxyContin (oxycodone): Very strong medicine. Good for long lasting relief.

oxycodone: I'M 21 YEARS OLD AND HAVE A LOWER BACK PAIN FROM BEING OVER WEIGHT AS A CHILD. I HAVE LOST THE WEIGHT BUT STILL HAVE THE PAIN. I HAVE TAKEN 3 x 5MG OF OXYCODONE AND IT HELPS ME WORK A FULL DAY.

OxyContin (oxycodone): As a pharmacy technician, the advice in this column recommends that unused portions of the drug should be flushed in the toilet. This is an incorrect myth. Drugs flushed in the toilet can contaminate our resources and water supply. Any drugs not used should be turned into a pharmacy so proper disposal can be taken care of. *** Editor's Note - Only about a dozen drugs, such as powerful narcotic pain relievers and other controlled substances, carry instructions for flushing to reduce the danger of unintentional use or overdose and illegal abuse. The FDA worked with the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to develop the first consumer guidance for proper disposal of prescription drugs.
