I've recently been on 32, yes 32, 20mg oxicodone per day, for the past 7 years, and due to the war on drugs, now I'm looked at, as usual as a bad person becase doctors have prescribed me this dose, I have severe frostbite induced DEGENERATIVE OA,all my finger and toe joints are bone on bone, deformed but I grind through the pain and still have use of them. Over the past year I've been forced to ween down, I'm at 5, 5 mg tablets/ day, it's not even close to taking off the edge, to make up for it. I've kept every bottle from every refill which was 9 100 20mg per bottle per month for 7 years... it's an impressive pile, I saved them for shock value, I still havnt found a place to dump them in front of the medical establishment. But sorry to carry on, but I figured you needed a bit of a back story. I've been backed into a corner and have been stuck wth a new asshole dr, I'm short of meds, and tonight decided to use hot water to rinse about 2 months worth of 20mg bottles (100/per and 2 months of 5mg (100/per) and plug it, it does work, just sucks that I've been pushed to this.
