New Oxycontin Formula Countermeasure

[BubbaMoose]

Is there one yet! Here is the deal. I am 50 yrs old. I have had CHRONIC PAIN fro the last 18 yrs. I have a great Pain Mgmt MD/PA, I would consider them friends tro a point,( I don't tell them about what I'm about to tell you)
Anyway they have me on a cocktail that includes 80mgs oxycontin x 3 @ day, 10mgs Hydro X4 day, Lyrica x4, and clonazepam 0.5 x3. This is going to be a lifetime deal... as long as I live anyway.

But here is the RUB, About 2 times a day the pain is so severe I would scream and cry until I went to the ER and they gave me Duiluad in a massive dose, or A friend pulled me aside and showed how I could gently rub off the coating of the OC until it was white, crush it and inhale it(snort it) It worked better than the ER visit.
So for the last 4 years I have been doing that for my break-through pain, and my quality of life was wonderful for the last 4 years!

NOW WHAT THE HELL CAN I DO ABOUT THIS NEW BS FORMULA, they have made the Oxy with. I have researched it and all I have found is using a Vise??? OK what will that do?? Please help with any suggestions, this really sucks...
God Bless you and thank you for you positive ways to Countermeasure this Govt BS!!! BM

^Talk to your doctor and tell them that you need a portion of your monthly oxycodone in instant-release form for breakthrough pain (like percocet or roxicodone). As long as your actual dosage of oxycodone stays the same, it likely won't raise any red flags with the docs. That is a perfectly reasonable request.

Oxyfast or Oxydose the generic version of liquid oxycodone
also works wonders on breakthrough pain.A few drops under the tongue
will take you where you need to be...also roxicodone 30 mg instant release
pills work wonders as the cost is very reasonable

The new pill are intended to make it harder to shoot or snort them, but there really is nothing they can do to stop you from chewing them up.

Thats only true to an extent, even when totally milled and powdered in the lab tests only up to 60ish percent was released instantly in 5 tested "simple solvents."

I thought Purdue wasn't going to change the 60mg or the 80mg formulations.

Nope. They are changing them all. OP you actually have the new OC's or are you doing advance planning?

But yeah, just ask for some instant release OC.

if and when you get the new ones, tell you doc you're not getting the same relief from them. I've learned telling the docs the truth (to a certain point) actually will get you where you wanna go.

They are, just not at the same time they roll out the other dosages. Something about them running into difficulty formulating those doses while preserving the anti-abuse features.

I hope the doctors are ready to hear a bunch of complaints about their patients being in withdrawals, or the patients asking for med switches.

It makes me reluctant to even go on OC though it works great... I like my roxis for breakthrough but... if patients are gonna get hurt in this process that's gonna suck.

... The only people "getting hurt" by this are people abusing the drug (or at least taking it in a manner other than it's prescribed)

I think it's wrong either way... if someone wants to abuse OC it's on them... if someone uses it for pain management and the oral BA is gonna be lower.. it's fucked up.. Frankly I think they need to realize people are gonna do what they're gonna do... I hate when people fuck everything up.

Well people "did what they did" and then purdue paid $600,000,000 for it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that we should feel sorry for a large drug company.

What I am saying is give me a break, acting like there has been any "victim" of purdue making their time-release system MORE EFFECTIVE. Oxycodone always has the same BA, but their delivery system is changed to more reliably deliver the oxycodone. For people that need IR meds, there ARE IR meds. Oxycontin is not meant to be an IR med.

I have used opioids on occasion, but I don't have any illusion that big pharma owes me an easy to abuse medication! Its just silly.

So what about those people who can't afford it? Maybe they want to crush up the XR and take it as an IR. Its frustrating for many to have to pay for two 'different' medications, specifically those who don't have insurance and need it the most.

The abuse prevention isn't to make it more effective, its to make it less abusable.

Violenza, they don't make the drugs to help people, they're made to give them profits. Its probably something that makes the shareholders happier rather than helping the users.

OP, I believe that someone mentioned crisping the OC in a spoon for shooting it, I don't know if that works for snorting. Changing medications might also be in your best interest, Dilly can be crushed and then filtered through a cotton, you can snort the liquid rather than shooting it up.

That would be pretty foolish for them to do, considering IR meds are A LOT cheaper than ER ones. A lower ER script combined with an IR one could be substantially cheaper than a single larger ER script

edit - sorry for the massive image size, the new iphone screen resolution is crazy

 

[Depressicaa]

Cool! What app is that?

I was under the impression that they gave them out in sized bottles or something where certain bottles were cheaper, guess I was wrong!

I use ir meds for bt pain (roxicodone)... I'm just hoping that people in pain management aren't affected by this. I don't think a drug company owes me an easy to abuse medication either!
