On a 12 hour schedule you'll find you'll acclimate to the prescription very quickly and that you'll enjoy the fact that you're always clear headed hence there's nothing better on the market for moderate to severe pain.

As a hospice/painmanagement nurse I have seen oxy perscribed for ever 8 hours around the clock. That is not manufacture recomendation so you may have issues getting it paid for by some insurance companies, you will probally be tired at first but most ppl "get over" that quickly. Did you take it at every 12 hours 1st? or was it straight to every 8?
