"Itchy, itchy! I've found opioids analgesics are the best for my chronic pain. Roxicodone caused pruritis for me. That might not seem like a big deal. However, when dealing with pain that's been constant for years, a side effect like non stop itching is one more thing that magnifies the pain. Then there's pain, itching, and more loss of sleep. There were a couple of remedies. The doctor rxing a different medicine. Or taking an antihistamine to overcome the itching. In today's current anti-opioid environment, doctors seem more likely to throw up their hands, and say, "Well I guess you're just not a good candidate for opioids!" Which just isn't true. Switching worked like a charm for me."

"I have taken these as a med for breakthrough pain in addition to oxymorphone 30 mg ER. The roxycodone is quite beneficial in helping to control my chronic pain. I would rather have the brand name with these but it is too expensive."

"Roxicodone is the most effective pain medication I've had so far. 20 mg every 4 hours. Also, 25 mcg patches of Fentanyl. I'm stage 4 with bone cancer and am a recent 'incomplete quadriplegic' from a cervical, spinal cord injury but learned to walk again. I'll take the cancer any day over the paralysis. I was taking 4mg of Dilaudid every 4 hours in rehab, which was debilitating (to me). I'm starting to build up a tolerance to roxicodone, and was told that I can up the dosage. For me, roxicodone has the fewest side effects and lasts close to 4 hours. At this point, I'm staying with it because I can function well mentally and don't have the foggy / hazy feeling as Dilaudid and morphine gave me."

"I noticed that a side effect or roxicodone is body aches and pains. The reason I am taking it is because of chronic, severe body aches and pains, especially in my lower back and legs. Is the remedy causing the problem? I guess I will never know because my insurance company will not pre-authorize an MRI."
