Thank you so much for the help..I did take one tonight and although it helped my pain it knocked me out!! So I guess I can only take it at bedtime. I really think I might need to change my pain dr..I told him how bad I was hurting and he refused to up my oxycontin. Right now I'm taking 20 mg 3 x a day. I was told by his nurse he does NOT give "break thru meds" and the max of oxy he will give is 40 mg. ANy advice on this would be greatly apriciated!
