Does anyone have a legit OxyContin script for more than 2 a day?

I've been seeing my PM doc for about 3 years now due to DDD in various locations in my lower back as a result of a car accident. I am prescribed 2 OC 80s (60 a month) for CP and 3 15mg roxis a day for BT (90 a month).

I've been on this dosage for a while now, but here lately it's not as effective it was when I first started. I guess it's a tolerance thing. I should also say that I didn't start at this dosage. My doc has been pretty liberal about upping my dosage as we've gone whenever my tolerance has increased.

When I asked him this time about increasing my OCs from 2 to 3 a day, he said he couldn't because OCs are designed for ER over a 12hr period. So, if I was taking them as designed (which I do) and 2 would be the most he could prescribe since there's only 24hrs in a day. And, I'm already at the highest dose of OC, so that can't be upped. It just sounded strange to me because I read all the time about people who are prescribed more than 2 a day. Plus, like i mentioned, my doc is fairly liberal about this sort of thing. At least he has been in the past. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

He did agree to increase my roxi dose from 15mg to 30mg and from 3x a day to 4, so all is not lost.
 
Have it made? The pain that can come with DDD isn't worth any amount of OCs.
I'd rather not have the scripts and a good back. I have never been scripted more than 2 OCs a day. I'd imagine those that have could of needed a dose that wasn't available at the time. I know that there were additional doses that came out some time ago.
 
Yeah, I was scripted (3) OC 40s and 6 Roxy. 30s. Dose was the increased to 2 OC 80s with no change to the Roxys.

I will say, the doc has always been hesitate to increase the OC 80s to more than 2.

Best
 
Wow, I have pinched nerves in my back, degenerative disc disease, narrowing of the spine, arthritis in my back among other things...i get 60 mg of oxy a day. It took alot to get there. It's bullshit!! CONSIDER YOURSELF BLESSED TO HAVE A DOCTOR THAT LISTENS TO YOU AND PROVIDES HIS FUCKING SERVICES!!!!!!!!!!

I have a terrible back, not sure what DDD is. I just love opiates, if I was scripted all of that, I'd be stoked, is all. Not saying pain is worth it, just having oxy's from my doctor would be killer.

Could not agree more. There's some mornings I can't even get out of bed to take my meds. And when I do, it's never eliminated the pain. Only made it extremely manageable. I know it sounds like I take alot, but seriously, I don't even get high on them anymore. Of course, I've never snorted or mainlined them and now I cant even if I wanted to because of the new formulation.

I'm sorry your doc won't prescribe what you need. Being under prescribed is almost worse then not having any at all because you probably find yourself taking more than your prescribed dose, just to get by. Then when the end of the month comes, you have to worry about w/d AND your original pain. So, it's either suffer or pay street costs. I know how it is. Believe me, I was going to my current doc for 2 years before he even introduced OC 20s. Since then though, I've built a great rapport with him. He's liberal about prescribing, but he's by the book with U/As and pill counts. He doesn't call you in with random pill counts, but you have to bring your bottles in at each appointment and you better have the right number left for that day or he won't hesitate to release you and either refer you to a detox clinic or a suboxone doc. He's done a good job of filtering out the riff raff that way and has maintained a good reputation.

Anyway, I know it's a pain in the ass to start with someone new, but if your current doc is under prescribing you, you may just have to bite the bullet and do that.

I once knew a lady who was scripted 8 80s a day (I saw the drug sheet from walgreens that showed the quantity filled as 240). You can call bullshit all you want but this fuckin lady had a store which wasn't even open everyday because she never sold anything to launder the money she made from the 80s. When shit like this happens I think its sad because this crooked lady is getting 8 80s a day while some people with legitimate chronic pain can't find a doctor who will prescribe anything more than vicodin and percocet.

That almost sounds illegal. Whoever was prescribing those almost assuredly drew attention from the DEA because that kind of stuff is tracked. He's probably either in jail, had his license to prescribe narcotics revoked, or is no longer practicing. Furthermore, I think the pharmacist that filled them would have an obligation to report that doctor to law enforcement.

No shit!! I completely agree with you... I would give anything to not be in pain whatsoever. I don't care if I could never feel the bliss of opiate warmth again. The pain is not worth it to me. I have Degenerative Disc Disease, Fibromyalgia, Discs collpasing on themselves, herniated discs, bulging discs, my spine zig zags..instead of being straight.. I would give anything to live a normal life pain free without depending on medication to make myself feel better. I get 5 Roxi 15s a day and 2 Opana 20's.. My friend gets 2 opana 20's 5 roxi 30's and methadone as well.

OP There are people that get 3 OC's a day because they don't last 12 hours for alot of people. Your dr is trying to go "by the book"... but I know tons of people in pain management who get 3 long acting a day plus the BT meds. I think your problem is the BT pain meds. If you could take more you might not need that extra 80. Everyone is different though. I would look on some pain management boards.. there is one on web md and people talk about being scripted 3 OC's a day. Print it off and take it to your dr.

I am about to switch pain management dr's because mine is a complete nutbag and when she isn't accusing all of her patients of being drug addicts she tells me about her lap top and the mattress she bought.. as if I give a shit...

Anyways, talk to your dr and look into websites such as pain.org... Also talk about the pain patients bill of rights. You have the right to your pain being managed properly and you are almost there. Also are you getting the new OPs? Or are they still OC's or the new OP formulation? If they're the new OPs that could be the problem... I have a few friends that are having issues with those.

Feel free to message me if you need to talk and I wish you the best of luck! Welcome to Bluelight:)

Thanks V. To answer your question, I just got my latest script filled on Wednesday and they were the OPs (new formulation). I was very leery of this change because it took a while for me to stabilize on my meds. I know, if taken properly, it's the exact same amount of oxycodone. However, I was worried about the time release itself. For ex. (and these numbers are strictly for example purposed only. I have no idea of the release rate of the oxycodone) say the old formula release 10mg every hour, but the new formula only releases 8mg per hour. It's still the same dose, but since the release rate is different, it may not be as effective.

Luckily though, as of now, I haven't noticed any difference in the new vs old. (I was experiencing my tolerance issues with the old formula too). But, if I had my choice, I'd still prefer the old formula. I think there's still one place I've heard about in my area that continues to carry them, so I think I'll give them a try next month.



\I think you're right about the BT and I did get an increased dosage of it, so we'll see how it works.
 
i truly agree the pain is not worth any amount of oxy,my buzz is being pain free 4 a couple hours,now with these new oxys they took that away.
 
This is nothing compared to what you guys have said but I do have a friend who was in a bad motorcycle accident who takes 1-3 OC 80s a day, he is now in a wheelchair but he also has to take flexerol and valium and such to even be able to feel normal bc he has so much muscle tension and pain from the accident, its been years, but i can tell he hates having to depend on all the medication, but he really has no choice, could you imagine? wanting to clean up and be on the level, but you cant? that sucks for him, so next time you are complaining bout having to clean up and be legit, remember there are some people who dont even have the option to clean up, and they want to live normal lives but bc of what they have been through in their lives, they cant, they have to depend of these meds to live half "normally"...
what do you think about that point of view, i think its interesting and would like the see what you guys have to say about it.
