Keif, have you been tested for a 2D6 or other polymorphism? There is conflicting data but it seems oxycodone (or perhaps other metabolites besides oxymorphone) provide the analgesia on its own unlike Codeine that poor 2D6 metabolizers almost always means lack of response.
Why would you take TUMS with oxy??????
I'm glad you didn't end up liking them too much. We read so much here about people getting addicted this way. I used to be able to take oxy with no problems but the last few times, I got really nauseated. Thanks for the update.
