Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 , I am on Hydrocodone and have been for years, they have tried some of the newer things on me that were worthless or I had a bad reaction. I don't think that is on the streets as much as the oxycodone and oxycontin. which worked well for me but all I wanted to do was sleep. I took my self off of oxycontin at first I thought I made a mistake as the hydrocodone that iwent back to just wan't cutting it. the withdrawl was hell. But I did it. It took me a month. But I believe in hydrocodone even though it is not as effective as far as taking the pain away completely. The way I explain it without hydrocodone I can't move so I say I am like the tinman in OZ as soon as it kicks in I can walk, its llike my can of oil . Its not a bad drug its the person taking it that can make it a bad drug. so I understand where you are coming from. I am trying right now to get something for breakthrough pain right now . But my rhuemie just upped the dose to a 10/325. I will have to wait and speak with him in April when I have my next appointment. Its not the drugs that are bad its how the person handles take taking them. Have a great night all! Lori H Moderator Hydrocodone and IS NOT A BAD drug ! ! ! PCP is a bad drug GET FACTS and don't pass judgement on usefull medications that have been around for a long time ! ! !
