Hey all,
Sorry if this is ignorant but I have a question. Since things have changed in an extreme manner since my original pain routine post-military, my pain medication is significantly lower than it was. When I was prescribed Oxycontin, though it took a bit to kick in, I had all day relief. I had to dose twice daily, but the 2nd dose worked as well as the first.
Only having 10mg 4x a day of Oxycodone is tough. The first dose in the morning is the only true relief I get. It is definitely not a complete match for my pain but it does help a bit. Seemingly, the following 3 doses do nothing. Obviously there must be some effect they have but my pain is not managed very well throughout the day.
My logic has been, although not much relief, by taking 4x a day I will have the most relief possible. As days go on it is getting harder and I am wondering something. If I were to take 20mg in the morning, would the saturation of my opioid receptors have any impact on the rest of the day? I know the dose won't last any longer than a 10mg dose but I am wondering if a slightly larger dose will have any impact on the next doses of the day. Or will it be the opposite? Sorry for an idiotic question. I got great advice with black seed oil which seems to help with inflammation and I'm just trying to get the most relief out of my medication as possible. Thanks in advance.
