Chronic Pain
"I&#039;ve had myofacial pain syndrome/fibromyalgia for 16 years. Been taking 10 mg oxycontin 3 x/day and 15 mg roxycodone 4x per day. Physician dosed only 18 mg 2x/day. I could feel some pain relief, but lasted only 4-5 hours and I was dizzy the whole month. As dose wasn&#039;t high enough, I had to use all my &quot;rainy day&quot; meds saved over time to compensate. Reps need to help physicians better understand the dosing procedure.   I too will ask to go back on traditional meds. 

Also, eating a &quot;high fat&quot; meal first thing in morning is really difficult to face. (Per package insert, high fat meal increases some of the chemicals associated w/ maximizing relief)"
