Hey Kris,

Don't the instructions on that Oxy say to not break or crush that tablet?

Thanks for those words of advice. I will definitely bring it up to

Dr. Lehman when I see him next time. Last Saturday I took 60mg of

Oxycotin (one and a half tablets - split in half), and also took 100mg

of Demerol. It still took 1 1/2 hours to relieve the pain. I didn't

feel like I was overly medicated. I could still walk and talk

(surprisingly). I knew that you would be able to shed alittle light

on this subject, being a nurse. But, doesn't the oxycodone come in a

tablet that DOESN " T have any tylenol in it?? Please let me know, I am

waiting on a call back from my family doc's office because I called

his nurse and left a message to tell her that I won't be able to

swallow those large pills if I get another SOD attack.

Thanks again

Kris: My doctor used to have me on Percocet for break thru pain and

actually still does but he knows I don't take it and avoid it like the

plague because it actually causes the nausea to worsen considerably

for me. I just thought I'd mention that my pain mgmt doc has me on 5

mgs of Methadone every six hrs whether I'm in pain or not along with

the 25/100 mcg patches. The Methadone has REALLY Helped me

considerably and it is a teeny teeny pill so it's easy to take when

you can't or don't want to have to swallow a large pill. Just thought

I'd throw it out there...it's been a real life saver for me and really

helps kill that nasty pain usually w/in the hour.

Hope his helps some...
