Hey guys, first time posting here. Just had a few questions for a newb here. I've been on and off many, many opiods, various mgs, over the last several years, for my lower back pain. Piriformis Syndrome (Sciatica). Recently, my doctor and I have been trying to find a drug and dosage that works for managing my round the clock severe pain. After having been through most of them, Oxcontin* (40mg) 4 times a day, with 10-15mg Oxy IR x4 a day for breakthrough. Welp, my insurance doesn't cover Oxycontin, because apparently only one company makes it, yada yada yada, so now, while we wait to figure out another ER medication to use in its place, I was perscribed just a whole bunch of Oxycodone (IR). Currently prescribed 30mg x6 times a day. I have the M30's. Here's the deal. Day two of taking them, they made me sick. I wasn't feeling the euphoric effects I normally get, just cold chills, and anxiety like feelings. As well as the nausea and just general crappy feeling. I figured that day, I probably took maybe 1 pill over my max dosage for the day. I figured my tolerance was pretty high, but never have they just not worked for me, or made me sick. Not like I'm going to pass out, just anxiety and chills, and nausea. Has anyone had anything similar to this happen to them? Just wondering if it's possible my receptors are waaay overloaded and just not working correctly, because my body probably wasn't used to getting THAT MUCH oxy without having acip or taking with Tylenol or Advil. Looking for any advice as to what I should do. I've only taken about 90mg today, and starting to feel the similar effects again. My tolerance should be much high than this, but I also broke it up over several hours. Took the first 30 at like 8am. Felt fine, the 2nd one around noon, and felt almost no euphoria. My 3rd of the day was around 3:30 and it's already giving me that sick feeling. Any tips or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!
P.S. - Not taking any other meds besides the Oxy, I stopped taking Advil with them. I also recently stopped smoking weed the other day, and my Clonazepams (1mg as needed) ran out right before I got this new script, as they were keeping my serotonin levels somewhat OK, until I got my pain killers again.
Thanks again for any help anyone has
