"I have been taking this med for a long time, starting out with the 10s, now on the 20s. They are too strong, so I now take the 15s with a 500 mg of Tylenol, and that helps the best. You have to just peak it and find what helps you the best."

"Itchy, itchy! I've found opioid analgesics are the best for my chronic pain. Roxicodone caused pruritus 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 nonstop 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 prescribing 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."

"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 4 mg 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 of 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."

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