Answer: It helps but my doctor wants me to take 80mg a day and I am having trouble getting to that amount. It makes me sleepy. But he wants me to take 20 mg four times a day to keep the pain away. Good luck  =

Answer: Oxycontin is HIGHLY addictive. My father ended up going into a coma from an accidental overdose, bc it didn't control his pain, but he was addicted. He had brain damage and died. A doctor that would be quick to prescribe that I would beware of first off, secondly if you have an addictive personality I would not recommend that course of treatment for your symptoms. Have you tried cranialsacrum therapy? All natural and gave me my first bit of relief in six years.  =

Answer: most regular, meaning general or family dr's, try to stay clear of prescribing any opoids. There are many reason's and the top being that they are carefully watched and have a lot of paperwork and explaining why they are doing this for you, it like having the goverment standing over his or her shoulder waiting to find a mistake. The only place that really can and will do this is Pain clinic's. This is their speciailty and you need to get your family dr to refer you to the closes one to you. I have been thru it all and if you need any more info..I am , and have been on opiods for 4 years now. feel free to email me missve  =
