Pain
"Recently my doctor changed my breakthrough pain medication to Oxycodone 20mg from OxyContin 20mg. Immediately I noticed a huge difference, and for the first time in four years felt that my pain controlled. Now I&#039;m taking OxyContin 80mg twice daily with Oxycodone 20mg every four hours prn.  Overall oxycodone provides the quickest and most effective pain control above all oral narcotics I&#039;ve taken. However I do caution long-term users of increases in tolerance, monitoring if ever more medication is needed to achieve the same effect. I first noticed an increase in my tolerance two weeks of taking 4-6 tabs daily. I gradually increased my dose until I was needing double my starting dose. Within one month my tolerance increased by two-fold."
