Hello all.
This is my first post so I will try to introduce myself here as quickly as possible with the relevant information. I have a spinal fusion as well as a rod inside my tibia. My arm is also bolted together with plates in four places. Mainly I need opioid therapy for my back, I could deal with the leg and the arm pain but it’s my back with 2 rods fusing four vertebras together that gives me the pain that forces me to use opioids. This was 3 years ago now. I was started on Morphine sulphate ER with Oxycodone IR, that combo did not work and was quickly switched to the good old Oxycotin ER (OC), with doses reaching 40mg 4 times a day ER, and 5MG up to 16 times a day of oxycodone. When OC switched to OP in fall of 2010 I switched to Opana because that plastic OP shit does not work for pain, or for recreational pleasure purposes. Dosing on Opana went up to 40mg four times a day with 5mg IR Oxycodone just 4 times a day. In Feb 2011 I stopped using all opioid in hopes of gauging my real pain level and to see if I could live life without opioids. Four months later I realized I could not have a good quality of live without opioid pain killers. I went back to Opana 10mg 2x a day and 5mg Oxycodone 2 times a day. That rapidly increased to 60mg a day of Opana. And the MAIN PROBLEM was these pills were finding their way into my body in way other than oral ingestion, I never IV anything nor did I put it up the butt, so that leaves you with one option. With Opana having such a low Oral Bio Availability and a high nasal I was forced to keep doing the bad method of ingestion for any pain relief. Tired of having to take these pills in a manner that was not the best forced be to go looking for another pill that I could take orally 85% of the time and the other 15% take it that bad fun way. So I tried OP oxycotin again, useless. I tried this new drug called EXALGO, usless except for the first 2-4 times that you break it open and melt the white part and drink it. I am thinking of trying methadone but if I do that I can no longer take any other opioid medication for breakthrough, being that methadone blocks out all other opioids. I think, right? My pain doctor will want me to stay on a base of extended release medication so I cannot just get 120mg of Roxicodone like I wish I could. So it is going to need to be a mix of ER and IR medication.
To the question.
What other Extended release medications are out there in the United States? Other than Oxycotin OP, Exalgo, Methadone, and Opana
