Hello- new poster just seeking advice really
I've been prescribed the following (taken daily as prescribed, no abusing meds, crushing, etc)
Morning: 10mg Oxycontin, 50mg Tapentadol
Evening: 10mg Oxycontin 50mg Tapentadol 20ml Oxynorm
but due to breakthrough pain I have increased my dosage to:
Morning: 15mg Oxycontin 100mg Tapentadol
Evening: 20mg Oxycontin, 100mg Tapentadol 25ml Oxynorm
However my doctor is concerned that it seems like a lot of opiates and won't adjust my prescription- I've been referred back to the pain clinic as even the increased dosage isn't really controlling the pain adequately...Just wondering if it is a lot of opiates to take on a daily basis or not?
