I'm completely confused and would love any help or advice anyone might have. I've been taking Oxycodone IR 30mg for almost a year now. As per my doc's instruction, I take 2 (60mg) every 4 to 6 hours for treatment of my Fibromyalgia. I usually snort them though, because I feel like, would I rather be in excruiating pain for 15min, or have almost immediate relief? Anyway, just recently, my doc moved from the practice I was seeing him at, to his own private practice. Of course, I was accepted as his patient to continue seeing him at his new location, but the ealiest appointment I could make to see him is on the 20th of Jan. The only problem is that my script was due yesterday for refill, and I just took my last dose this morning. When I told the receptionist on the phone at my doc's new office that I was almost out of my meds, and could my doc just write me my script so I could come pick it up, she told me that my doc. can't do that because, since he's in a new practice, it's against the law for him to write me anymore scripts until he's had an appointment with me, and seen me in person. These people are total idiots! Don't they know that I can't be out of my pills?? I will be in complete angony, as well as totally sick with withdrawls. I didn't know what to do, so a friend of mine gave me 5 of the new time-release Oxycontin's 80mg, so that I don't get sick. They're green with "OP" on one side, and an 80 on the other. Problem is, I don't know what to do with these things. I don't want to swallow them whole, because I need to make them last as long as possible, but I've heard that these things are pretty much uncrushable, and even if you do, they just gel up really bad anyway. Does anyone know how I can consume these in pieces, or maybe even know how to crush them, so that I can snort them a little at a time? I'm not looking to get high, I'm just trying to keep from getting sick, as well as try to keep my pain at bay. Somehow, I've got to make it til the 20th, when I can get my regular script. any suggestions that anyone might have would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you. :?

i'm kinda confused about the whole op thing too. my doc prescribed me 15 mg oxycontin and on the bottle it says the pill should say op on one side and 15 on the other. well...the actual pills inside the bottle say "oc" on one side and "15" on the other. what the hell?
 
^consider yourself lucky cause next time they will prolly say op on them and u wont be able to snort them dude so enjoy them while you can


N and to the first poster u can cut thoes in half even tho its really hard and take 1 half at a time 40mgs and it will feel about as good as yer 30mg oxycodones and try and chew it up or chop up into as many pieces as u can to try to feel it faster but the time release is a bitch
 
I don't know anything about these but it would seem that if you could break the pill into pieces you could just eat the pieces? I'm under the impression that the time release was just improved to be present throughout the tablet and to gel up when attempted to be snorted. If you're just eating these to avoid being sick I don't see how that would hinder anything.
 
i guess i'm lucky but it doesn't matter either way for me. I need these for legitimate chronic pain and the longer they last, the better. I'm worried about the BHT in the new OP formulation as its an allergen and have many, many food allergies. Even the slightest allergen, causes my illness to flare up horribly.
 
I would speak with your prescribing doctor for the OCs if you're worried about that, he can certainly switch you to another long-acting version of another opiate, hydromorphone for example.
 
oxymoron87 & Damien: Thank you both for taking the time to read & answer my post. I ended up breaking it in half (it was hard tho! I had to break it with a hammer!). There was absolutely no way I could have snorted it though, so your advice to break and swallow was perfect. I really hope this works at keeping the withdrawls away. Thanks again!
