Oxycontin VS Oxycodone -Karyn

[Guest guest]

Hi Kris,

Please be careful in just how you talk to your doctor. I suggest talking is

fine, clairifaction is fine, but let the doctor lead and you have a talk, get

clear on their directions, but play your own cards close to your vest. People

who panic about addiction to opiates are not chronic Panc. sufferers. Just be

calm and cool and keep your objectives clear and in mind.

Best Wishes, Poncho - GA

PS I'm happy with my treatment and doseage but if for some reason someone

would try to modify my treatment to satisify their objective, then I could be in

a world of hurt and I just don't want to be there any more than absolutely

necessary.

Thanks for all the information. The thing is ...I WAS following my

doctors advice. At least I thought I was. Otherwise I would have

never thought of splitting the pills. Nor was I aware that the drug

users on the street were taking the oxy this way. I guess you learn

something new everyday! Also, I take demerol on a daily basis for my

CP pain, and it works very well. I only took the oxy when a SOD

attack happened, and it would calm down the attack within 30 minutes.

Nothing else on the market stops the attacks except nitro. Anyway, I

do intend to talk to my doc about this so he is aware and I'm aware of

what I can and can't take, etc. Thanks again.
