For Chronic Pain: Xtampa does not work. It says take 1 every 12 hours. For me it lasts around 3-4 hours max. I also take 800mg ibuprophen Oxicodone 10/325 worked good. It would give me 4 hrs during the day, where I was pain free. I felt like I had a little bit of a life. Anyways, I fell which caused a compression fracture in L1 on my spine. My doctor knows how much pain I'm in and prescribed me oxycodone 20mg. My insurance made me get the "generic" one. So now I have to go to a pain clinic. My appointment is on the 10th. So, thats my story.. It does not work. For Chronic Pain: Been on this for months, just don't understand why I'm having side effects, as my doctor says everything is the same, just time release. The first 4 weeks head aches so severe I couldn't put in a full day. I'm a secretary, so on computer screen all day. This is what gave me the head aches I believe, along with meds. I also got very nauseous, dizzy, and extremely moody. I put on 20 pounds once I was told to eat a fatty diet with this meal, as I guess the fats help breakdown the medicine, doctor never told me this, but helped a lot with being sick all the time. Doctor finally listened, as I was tired of being in a cloud all day. Also anxiety, and sleeplessness... This medicine may work for some, just not me.. |

For Pain: While getting an entire back tattoo, the artist in Thailand have me some tramadol to reduce the pain. As I had to visit him every day to get the tattoo done, so my dosage increased. After a month straight I was taking 500mg per day. Long story short, it was very hard to stop. This was years ago when the drug first came out and there wasn't any info on the Internet about it other than that the manufacturer said..... It's not addictive. Yeah, right!
