Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 After basal thumb replacement surgery 2 weeks ago, my doc gave me oxycontin 10 mg. And oxycodone for break through pain, I used them the first two days and developed insomnia so I quit the oxycontin, After a few more days, I stopped the oxycodone and switched to extra strength tylenol. Yesterday, aweek after the surgery, I overused my hand (even though I'm in a rigid cast) and was in a lot of pain. I took I oxycontin with no relief (10 mg) after 1/2 hr, took 2 more, after 1/2 took another two. Took a total of 60 mg. Oxycontin and not only did it not have any effect on pain, it made me so hyper, I was up all night. The only other drugs that cause me to become hyper are barbiturates.like phenobarbitol Is this just me? Is this an EDS thing? Is 60 mg of Oxycontin a low dose? I am really disappointed. It looks like I'll have to find another pain killer. Judy/Atlanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
