Without this medication I would not have been able to continue with my daycare business, as all three joints have been rubbing bone on bone..............Very painful. I will probably have some type of addiction to this drug when the time comes that I won't have to take it anymore (after my knee surgery) but I will worry about that when the time comes. It helped me get through the last 3 years.

I don't swallow pills well, so my doctor gave me elixir Oxycodone. I experienced LOTS of side effects, like dry mouth and nausea. It also made me light-headed. I don't know about other experiences with O.C., but I found it only relieves pain for 3-4 hours, forcing you to keep taking it.

I had never had this medication before. I used it for severe pain after having diverticulitus. I was able to sleep pain free. I realize it's a narcotic and have never taken any before but it worked very well for me when other medications weren't even taking the "edge" off the pain.

I have used oxyodone for pain for over 4 years now. Lately somebody told me to try Ultram long acting instead. Does anybody have experience with switching and which is better ?
