For Chronic Pain "Was taking 10mg oxycodone 6 times a day for an operation that went horribly wrong. I was always dizzy, nauseous, and tired. Started OxyContin 20mg twice a day and changed my life. Less Percs, feel almost normal. Now if the pharmacists wouldn't treat us like dirt, life would be good. Highly recommend."

For Pain "Using 20 mg OxyContin x 3 tabs a day, it's very good for pain, as good as morphine, I believe. At first, I felt sick and puked repeatedly, after 4 days, nausea settled down. I've been on the same dose for 5 years. The way I did it is to expect and live with some pain, if breakthrough occurs, then lie down, deal with that, and do not up the dose. For the most part, it works well. There are no prescribing issues as I am in the UK, and there's no problem here, and it's OC that I get and not OP. Overall, a decent painkiller if used sparingly, try to resist the extra breakthrough meds."

For Pain "Have had 13 low back surgeries. The OxyContin has helped me lead as normal a life as much as possible, until they changed them. They don't work even near what the OC had. I know they say not to crush them, but I would crush one. Doctor put me to 4 80s three times a day. To get to where I had been getting somewhat of a life back, I would crush one for breakthrough pain, felt pretty good. Now I am right back in bed 24 hours a day. Also noticed my body has been putting out a smell like burnt rubber, and sick to my stomach. Have not had a bowel movement in 2 weeks. I told the doctor I would give him all my OxyContin back to him to just get something else. So I will be changing."
