Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / December 2004Oxycontin
Has anyone had a problem with oxycontin not doing the job anymore.I have been on it for about a year and now it does absolutely nothing for my pain. I hope I can wean off it if I have to. Went on mobic when I got off vioxx and that does nothing either. Hope you are all well for The holidays. God Bless Audie Audie, it probably is as simple a fix as raising the dosage. When oxycontin is used for long-term pain management it takes 12 to 18 months to properly titrate the dose. In this dosing period you continue to increase until a dosage that feels stable has been found. A process that you need a really good pain doc for. Once that dose has been found it usually never changes again. This of course varies amongst individuals. Mine has not changed in 3 years. johnie > Has anyone had a problem with oxycontin not doing the job anymore.I have been > on it for about a year and now it does absolutely nothing for my pain.
