If Buscopan is effective, it's available by script and OTC, you have to ask though. Try some OTC first and see if it helps. It reduces intestinal spasms.

I'm in Canada but our policy is yes you can get a new narcotic or new dosage of narcotic st anytime BUT it totally negates any other narcotic prescriptions/ refills.
So say you have 3 refills on your Percocet but doc changes you to 5mg oxy IR to save your liver, you can access the oxy as soon as you turn in the new script but you forfeit the Perc refills .
Been on a pain management for almost 5 yrs now. I have been prescribed almost everything for pain, norco was like Tylenol to me. I prefer nonsynthetic opiates, like percs, oxycodone ect..
I can get my refill every 28 days.
How many pills r in ur prx and what's the directions?

Flappy,
Hoping I can give u more insight next week when I go in. From the nurses I have spoke with, seems like it's drs discretion. But if they r giving it out to much, they get evaluated. And put on warning. God help me if they Change my meds from my oxycodones, I'll kill someone!

That is BS. The War on Drugs is broken!
BTW , why is it always cancer patients? I feel bad for people with cancer , but many times it is painless until you are at the end. Mom was 3C Stage and was pain free.
Many of us suffer day in, day out and just bc we don't have the magic dx the doc wants to hear,,, were screwed.

Oh yes... My lil sis works at a clinic and had a crap ton of pisses off patients due to the new law.
Just to be on the safe side, I'm doing a full cleanse Monday morn to make sure no thc is in me.
Gonna talk to my dr since she's the one that recommend I get a green card 3 years ago.
Plus, we have an agreement/contract that states I will not file a malpractice suit as long as they care for me. Due to the fact their screws made me disabled.
My drs are super chill tho. I know one clinic group said it was dr discretion. Another said absolutely not.. So hopefully I will be able to clear it up. Since it's not just my ass & script on the line, my mom has the same everything I do, and the last thing I wants is my elderly mother not getting her meds.. I would give her mine if it came down to it

It can't be true.
So many ppl w cancer are pain free, and so many without are in unbearable pain. It's way too arbitrary.

The phenomenon of "only for cancer" happens in Britain as well but not to oxy.....only diamorphine amps, diamorphine tablets and sublingual fentanyl.
Usually the rule applies not to cancer per se but to TERMINAL cancer. The logic being that if the condition is indeed terminal then future worries about whether the patient may become addicted years down the road are irrelevant.
Also if a patient is indeed dying then even the government don't have the right to deny them relief.
I don't know if its the same in the states though

I'm in Canada and you have a point about terminal. Probably anybody in hospice really.. If you're going to be dead in a month those nurses and docs can pump you as full of morphine as you want. Who's going to question that?
Long term toxicity, addiction , keeping them on strong stuff , diversion etc are all moot.
Plus you have the weird phenomenon of everyone feels bad and nobody wants them to suffer but dying with dignity is illegal :/

What I think is most likely in flappys case.,,
The same thing happened to my moms doc. He's the kind of person who gets his MD for the cash and prestige and you can tell he graduated bottom of the class. He's too busy with his hair plug clinic to give a damn.
Anyway he has tons of PTs on oxy so they came by and pretty much told him he was being watched and there was a limit to how many ppl could be on oxy.
So I think it's more DEA putting pressure on a select few vs oxy being only for cancer patients.
When I hear docs switch ppl to Dilaudid (!!) or hundreds of Perc a mônth over oxy ER it's mind boggling. Just shows were upside down from the hype and hysteria of oxy.
It also shows how ignorant ppl are when it's socially acceptable for everyone to talk about loving Percocet and alcohol, but mention oxy (which is in perks) and people think you're a druggie. Ridiculous.

My doctors were the same way, but the pain clinic didn't even question my request to switch to roxicodone from percocet...
It's been almost a year since I last took an opioid, I got clean and haven't relapsed since. Chronic pain is still a daily struggle but honestly the chronic ups and downs of opioid addiction is something I feel so free from and I haven't ever been clean off opioids this long in more than half my life, I had to learn how to be opioid-free and it was like learning how to be a human being all over again, and I had months and months of PAWS, but I was heavily opioid dependent for more than half my life...
When my pain flares really bad I think about how badly i wish i had an opioid, but I just try to focus on how much oxycodone took away from me, and I let it take it all, willingly, until the most important thing in my life was that round blue roxi. It ruined my engagement, it ruined my best relationships, it took my freedom and independence, it took every single thing from me including a huge part of my soul.
I highly recommend that if you CAN, try taking a break from opioids and see how your chronic pain responds. You might be surprised to find that your chronic pain is actually more painful when you're dependent on opioid analgesics... $0.02

What area are you from? My regular appt. is Monday and I get oxycodone as a part of my regular meds, so I have no idea what I'll face. I've never heard of such a thing where I'm at, only on the internet and the like. Thanks for any info!
pain management pain ratings
I currently go to pain management and get oxycodone 20 mg. i was wanting the dr. to bump me up to 30 mg but he said he couldn't do it because my pain scale was 120 and to get the 30 mg it had to be 180. does anyone know how this rating is determined? Thanks in advance

No clue, pain is subjective, having a numerical scale is pointless and ridiculous
