Chronic Pain
"For the first year I was on 30 mg. oxycontin plus 3-4 oxy/APAP 3/325 per day.  Became addicted and was hospitalized during withdrawal from the oxycontin.  Tried to substitute the oxycodone with Neurontin (didn&#039;t work), Lyrica (didn&#039;t work) and tramadol (didn&#039;t work well enough).  Have now been on oxy/APAP for 14 years.  Your body attempts to develop a tolerance but you just need to tough it out.  Closely monitored by my doctor.  Had to sign a pledge not to doctor-shop and I keep it at 4 tabs a day, one tab at a time."
