Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Mike, Thanks for the clarification. I'm glad that oxycontin keeps you out of the ER! When my pain peaks, as it did yesterday before I could get my oxycontin prescription refilled, I become a nasty person to live with. An hour after taking it, I'm a very nice peson to be around! There are many medications that could be substituted for oxycontin in your friend's situation. Many of those have been mentioned in recent posts, including morphine, methadone, fentanyl, and other opiod derivatives. Your friend should ask his doctor about alternative options. A pharmacist would also be able to give him an overview of medications possible for treating chronic pain. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
