Oxycodone treatment options that dont cost an arm and a leg?
So my doctor has had me on oxycodone 10mg 4-6 times a day for the last two years. The medicine no longer works like it used to so I am constantly in pain anyway, and have to take a pill at 3 AM every night just to fall back asleep, otherwise withdrawal keeps me awake and miserable.
I am pretty fed up with having to take pills every day to be normal now, even if I am not in pain due to the dependence this medication creates with your body. My doctor said I would have to go to rehab to get off the medication she put me on, so I called them and they want 400$ up front! That is with insurance! I barely make enough money as it is to pay for my prescriptions and doctor vists, so there is no way in hell I can afford that.
I would rather deal with the pain and not have to take pills, but i'm already knee deep in crap so its a bit late for that. Sadly, I dont really have a choice other then stay dependent and feed the doctors and pharmacies the last of my pay check.

If you have insurance, ask your doctor for a referral to a pain management clinic. The doctors will have alot more options vs. taking pills.
You are not backed into a corner, don't sell yourself short. It just might take a little bit of leg-work on your part. If the pain management clinic does not work for you and you need pills; ask your doctor about switching to methadone, which is very cheap or possibly generic OxyIR which for me costs 15 dollars for a 30 day supply w/ insurance.
Hope this helps you.
