yeah it allows me to be a high functioning pain paitient most of the time. it is an morphine sulfate extended release capsule. i currently take 3 a day (30mg each). as a result i was able to get off of oxycontin 1200 mg/day i continue to take fentora and oxicodone 15 mg occassionally as needed. more often than not the oxicodone a couple a day on a really bad day is all i need to have get back on track. i like to be able to get out of my house and due things, and i like to be able to focus on things so inot only understand but can provide evidence for why i support or disagree. in order to feel like i am doing ok both my brain and my body need to work all the time. prior to the avinza i woke up lathargic i could accomplish a few things during the day but then i would have to return home and take meds and the amount required put me to sleep for a while then i would wake up and feel like a zombie until the morning. i like it because it makes me able to participate in the world
