oxycontin is a rough one though even for people with chronic pain. The side effects can be terrible. I have not ever used it at all, but if I had Chronic pain, I would beg for something, anything, different than Oxycontin. From what I have seen, even when you need it for pain, your body tells you when it is time for your next dosage.

I took Oxycontin for a while and never had a problem with it. I give it to patients where I work for chronic pain and they don't have a problem with it either. But I do agree that it's rough.
Percocet is Oxycontin and Tylenol combined. Lots of people take that med and have no problems.
I used to take Oxycontin and Vicodin together. I wouldn't suggest that, but I did so to get rest when I was suffering from chronic pain a few years ago. Thankfully, I had surgery that corrected my affliction and no longer suffer from pain at all.

I am happy for you! The side affects I have seen with Oxycontin is bad sweats, can't wake the person up at times, diarreah, nausea, bad anxiety........this is when dosage is fine and some of them is when a dose is late. The person I know that has to take it has had 3 back surgeries and still in pain. He had 2 of the surgeries in one year......waited almost 5 yrs before the last one only because he was losing use of one of his legs. The last surgery did fix the leg somewhat, but the pain is still there. They tell him there is nothing more they can do now. He hates the thought of being on meds forever. With the help of his doctor, he has lowered his dosage, but now he is stuck due to pain.
For someone to bring up a lawsuit against a drug company because they got addicted to the drug is really a waste of time and money, because the side effects tell you that it may cause addiction!! It's a narcotic.
Thank you for making my point, but I appreciate your input
That's like naming soda pop companies in a lawsuit because you are addicted to caffeine. It's stupid, excuse my bluntness.

Ah, you mean I can't sue Maxwell House!??

I am probably going to get my head handed to me on a platter for saying this, but marijuana is excellent for pain management. It's a shame the government won't allow people to use it for such purposes.
I've had times this last winter I would have taken just about anything to kill the pain not caring about addictions or anything else. It's amazing, but when you are on the outside of pain that won't go away you can afford to be judgmental (not that anyone was on this thread), but when you are in that kind of pain you really just don't care anymore.
