Pain
"I recently had 3 very painful surgeries within 3 weeks. It&#039;s been a month &amp; one week since my last surgery &amp; I&#039;ve been on Oxycodone IR 15mg every 3 hours (max 8 pills per day) ever since. I am a recovering heroin addict so this is a very slippery slope however i am now being tapered down VERY SLOWLY by one pill every 2 weeks until I can be off of them completely. I have a very patient &amp; understanding pain mgmt dr. This med works extremely well as a pain reliever &amp; is also very calming. I see the potential for addiction &amp; the only downside is how fast tolerance develops. After a month &amp; a half I feel like I need 30mg every 3 hours to do what 15mg did before but still it eases my pain &amp; that is all that counts. I have zero side effects too!"
