Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but I just had a quick question about possible recommendations for similar situations, such as mine. With my previous threads recently, I've stated that I'm 29, 6'5 about 250, Male. I've been on and off opioids for the last several years, trying to deal with a constant lower back pain. Which, only recently did we (myself and current doctors) figure out was caused by Piriformis Syndrome (basically sciatica) witch is a 24/7 struggle for me. I'm currently on 180mg of Oxycodone a day, as my insurance would not cover Oxycontine (which was the only drug that seemed to provide real help with my issues, as it lasted 4 solid hours for me, without having to re-dose. I go back to my doctor in two weeks, after having been on this much Oxy, for only 1 month. He knows that medications don't last as long as they do with most people for me. He knows I'm not chasing a high, or selling them, or whatever other shady implications, doctors look for in patients. We've basically come to an understanding with each other, that we both just want for me to not be in pain. And trying to find the right replacement drug, has been rather difficult. I'm just wondering if anyone else has a similar issue or advice for a metabolism that will MAYBE get 1-2 hours out off a 30-40mg oral dose of Oxycodone*. I was considering we try MSContin (ER Morphine, not sure what dose to ask for) with probably a 30mg Oxycodone x4 a day for PT pain, to see if that is somewhat comparable to the Oxycontine that I SHOULD be on if my insurance didn't suck, or rather if Perdu Pharma didn't suck and let other companies make generic Oxycontine..
Thanks in advance, everyone!
