I am so tolerant to medication most don't work very well on me.. don't know why.. It’s not that I have a bad reaction it just does nothing or not much at all so I tend to be a guinea pig most of the time .. Just my luck I guess.. Anyways the Oxy I am on is 20mg am and 20mg pm and I don't get sleepy. I find that it last only 8 hours and then I start to feel pain again. That's the problem I have so either I need a higher dose or just a breakthrough pain med.
Hang in there, these pain meds need many adjustments and it can take awhile to find the right one for the right person...
Your doc sounds like a receptive guy... I bet he'll work it out for you..
Hey I know what it is you just want to see that Hotti Doctor
Hang in there...
Many Gentle Hugs
Dawn

LOL Dawn, yup.. I want to go back to see that ohhhhhh so "HOT" Doc.

I know that the FDA just approved a 10 mg. which is what I probably need. I am allowed to take the capsule apart and sprinkle it on a small amout of applesauce but don't know if I even want to take the chance. Dawn, I have had morphine in my I.V. they also were giving me morphine in the ER (pain shots of it every 2 hrs.) I was high as a kite, but never.. ever like this!!!I heard that oxy's are "potent' aren't they?? If your still having pain, why doesn't your Dr. up your dose? Yes, I will take your advice and say that he does seem pretty receptive and will work it out... Ok.. I just now called him while typing to you LOL.. he said / or rather his sec. said he will be in at two, so he will call me back.. darn, I want to go in now to see him.. LOL shhh.. I'm married too.. i bad huh??

Love, Desi
