My doctor has now changed my pain med to a time released med oxycontin 20mg from a as needed med. I was told to take it three times a day. Do I take it morning noon and night about every six hours then I sleep from about 9-8 or should I take it every 8 hours and set me some kind of alarm so I remember to take it. I am finding that I forget to take it because the pain is at a low level and then when it starts getting worse I remember I did not take it. What do you all do as your experience or your opion on the matter. I hate forgetting it because the pain comes back with a vengence and then takes longer to get it back low again. Any opions welcome. Thanks!!
