‘Sticky’ OxyContin is New and Tamper Resistant

by slbts — last modified Nov 10, 2009 01:45 PM

The FDA Panel Recommends that a new formulation of OxyContin be brought to market. The new formula of OxyContin will include Remoxy which will make the OxyContin tablet sticky and difficult to crush in order to be snorted or injected. This drug is not popular with users and is sometimes called "P", "OP," or "oxy gummies"

The potent opiate pain medication OxyContin was developed originally to deliver medication gradually over many hours, providing lasting analgesia to those with moderate to severe pain, such as cancer patients. The new release  of OxyNEO - schedule for 2012 will probably have the same safeguards built in to the pill.

It didn’t take abusers long to figure out that by breaking and crushing the tablets, they could have access to all of oxycontin girlOxyContin’s substantial opiates at once (when snorted chewed or injected). The pill became known as ‘hillbilly heroin’ amongst other monikers, for the intense high it could deliver – and for its addictiveness. The active ingredient is also found in Roxicodone (Roxys or Roxies) and OxyFast.

Lawsuit Against OxyContin's Creator

For misleading doctors about the drug’s abuse potential, in 2007, Purdue Pharma was court ordered to pay more than $600 million in damages. OxyContin remains Purdue’s biggest selling medication, with sales topping a billion dollars per year.

Purdue Pharma has said that within 2 weeks of FDA approval, 90% of retailed OxyContin would contain the new tamper proof formulation.

By 2006, more than 4 million people had used the medication for non medical reasons and in 2008, 171,000 people under the age of 21 abused OxyContin to get high for the first time. (SAMHSA)

A New Tamper Proof OxyContin Formula

Due to the medication’s propensity for abuse, Purdue Pharma had submitted a new tamper resistant version of the drug to an FDA advisory committee for recommendation.  The drug is dubbbed "gummies", "oxy gummys" or "jellynoses" by the drug using community.

see our oxy opiate treatment program


On Sept. 24th, this FDA advisory committee voted to recommend for approval this new OxyContin formulation; and although advisory committee recommendations are non binding, they generally result in later FDA drug approval. 

The new OxyContin formulation contains a chemical called Remoxy, which renders the medication resinous and difficult to crush for snorting or injection.

Although several FDA panel members expressed reservations about the real efficacy of the Remoxy additive, they said that they voted to recommend the new formulation to at least get the current very easily abused version off the shelves.

Purdue Pharma has said that within 2 weeks of FDA approval, 90% of retailed OxyContin would contain the new tamper proof formulation.

Changing the formulation of high powered pain medications like oxycontin. will cut down on people from overdosing, on these drugs. Just wait and see the rate of heroin related deaths go sky rocketing. If people want to get high, they will get high. Whether it is from Mommys little helpers, or the guy on the corner, slinging bags for $10. Also, as the price of heroin goes increasingly down, overdose's have gone up, at least 25% just this year. I am sure the taliban, appreaciates that the U.S, keeps making it harder, for Americans in pain, to acess good pain medication. Chronic pain is a horrible, evil thing, and one will do just about anything, to get relief. So go ahead FDA,DEA, and all the rest of you A's. You think you have a problem now, just take a look around. Russia, and other countries in that region have 60 percent of the population addicted to the purest, cheapest heroin ever, and is spreading like wildfire. The idiot politicians in this country, are cutting off their noses, to spite their dumb ass faces.

You are absolutely right. Now instead of addicts getting high from a clean drug manufactured in a laboratory, they are just going to start buying dirty heroin that dealers have put "god knows what" in. And I guarentee that we end up with a lot more overdoses now and a lot more diseases and infections being spread.

Let's use your logic

OK Amanda, using your logic, we should just pass it out to everyone who uses heroin? Sure, that'll make the problem better. I say let them overdose, they they won't burden us with their ficticious SSI claims and Medicaid costs that pays 100% for their drugs on the rest of us.

Thats a type of logic... I guess

You want to talk about logic "NOT SERIOUS?"? I believe Amanda was commenting on the fact that when you prohibit something you lose control of regulating it. She was also commenting that if someone is looking for a certain type of high they can find it; either from their doctor (a regulated route) or from a street pharmacist that probably didnt graduate from highschool. Also, just because a person is an addict does not mean they file fictitious claims, did you know that oxycontin was was marketed as being non-addictive when it first came out? God forbid you or your children ever become addicts, then see how you feel about them overdosing to save this "great country" a couple bucks.

Yes,This is true in all most all cases through-out or Countries history,from back in the Cowboy days where you could mail order your glass syringe and your Opium Dope that came in a little case,It was a mail order through Sears and roebuck,Yes this is true look it up,way back in 1878 I know.This is just to show that you are right Amanda.I was sitting in my kitchen a few Min's ago and was thinking about reading all of this today,and how people were talking about Altering the drug Oxycontin,and when I sat down here that was the first post I read.But what was making me want to come in here to make a post was the fact that I was fixing Chili and Hot dogs and I was in so much pain from simply opening a can of chili and opening a pack of hot dogs and putting them on the stove,OK-But by the time that I get through ,and I have a chair at the end of the table ,just 3 feet from the stove.I am in so much pain It is so unbelievable to me.I am a 50YR old Grandmother,and mother of 2.I had a fusion Operation in 10/10/1009 My Dr had sent me to see another DR to look at me and my MRI and he said that I need fusion Surgery,and he would be taking bone from my hip to put at the fusion.Then my
Dr From what I gather cleaned out my stenosis, and of course all the Deterioration out.This took about7 Hrs.Now i knew I was having a fusion and I'll have to read my papers and make sure,But I did not know that my Dr was going to do anything especially all he did do,.My DR sent me to the DR that said that I needed the fusion for my ruptured disc,And that he would be the one doing it ,so when my DR came in to the prep room It didn't seem unmoral to me,I just thought he was going to be there because I was his patient and maybe even to assist,so I was realy shocked when I figured It all out,But my Husband was so upset when I came to my room.He had the nurses to get the Dr's in my room right now,It took 7 hrs and my face looked like a basketball,he was so shocked it really scared him.Well the Dr's came pretty fast and tried to explain to him that being on my face down for so many hours it was normal,And when my blood sugar went up to 517 after 3 days of course that was normal also. Of Course I didn't know anything about the levels then,But my mother was on the phone with me and she could not hardly believe it,she said to me that I better get my Dr in there as soon as possible,but they had already started giving me insulin 2x a day 3 days after surgery ,I was now taking 3 shots a-day.Well I got over that when they took me of steroids my levels went back to normal,But I really did not know how close I was to danger and they can make it seem so simple,Well after a lot more here I am today(but no more surgeries)Bent over frontwards,and can not stand up straight,And another surprise,I am a small built And before I could bend frontwards and you could see and feel all of my disc going down my back,well now they stop at my bra strap you cant see or feel them they seem to mot be there and that is what my DR done why so invasive I don't know.I now cant go in a store without a buggy,I would have to crawl out of the store crying if I was stuck in there without a buggy,It is terrible ,this has took so much from my life it is unreal,Now with all of this mess going on,It practically scares me to death,when a person that post all the negative remarks about this drug it just makes me sick,as if I'm not sick enough.My Life as I knew it is now gone forever,But with the Oxycontin I can lead some what of a faking normal life,I mean I can Function doing small things without anyone knowing that I am crying inside sometimes,But when I'm alone at home and try to do some things,like do the dishes I am just balling if I don't have enough med in me,I just have to sit down,I am 87% Disabled,And miserable most of the time.I know that there have to be so many more people out there in my shape,and I feel so sorry for them.As I can relate to all of you,I just hope that Purdue and the
FDA do the right thing and get things back to the way they were,If you are truly in this kind of shape then I know that like myself you have probably thought about just ending it all,And no it is not the meds causing the problem,sometimes you think you might have the best DRs in the world,or know world wide as I did,but I have had a major screw up with my surgery,and 1 know for sure you cant take it back.So please If you can get by without it please don't have back surgery,you are going to need it enough without it being damaged more than it already is. I have called FDA today and am having complaint papers sent to me.Im going to do all I can to save my enjoyment of life that I have left,Bye for now.TRYING TO MAKE IT

I can appreciate you kindness. This lady went through hell, then some righteous person criticizes their only point of release, telling some one to shut up and not waste their valuable time. I find the intranet as place to be free to speak about several things we citizens would like changed. I just hope that this reaches you and your able to receive this complement, thank you for the kindness to the lady.

Rhonda is simply stating her situation, and there are those of us who do care. If you are one of the heartless individuals that doesn't then don't read her story and don't comment. Keep your ignorance to yourself!!!!! She is trying to help others and help those of us in similar situations to cope and to know we are not alone. Once you experience the pain we have then you have a right t comment until then you need to keeop your mouth shut and comments to yourself. She is doing a great thing by trying to help others and you heartless jerk need to mind your manners and look deep inside to see if you have that thing most people call a heart. From your comments it would appear that you have never experienced a pain that we have and GOD FORBID you ever do. I would love for you to walk in her shoes even for a second, the pain is so unbearable you WANT to die. Just walk a mile in her shoes before you go judging someone for trying to do a good and noble thing. If it's not something you want to read then skip it and go on and keep your ignorance and rudeness to yourself!!!!!

Its nice of people to try to protect rhonda and say they are in the same situation...But AGAIN..Unless you are ABUSING the drug or SELLING it...NONE of these changes affect you,your still getting your pain meds.. F.D.A wants to stop the addicts not the people in pain..USE YOUR HEADS...and judging by all your reactions to the change,all i have to say is heheeheheheheheeh...LIARS.

I am in the same situation as Rhonda. Unless you have taken the new op formula, your talking out your ass. The new op's aren't as strong and they give me wicked constipation. I am in pain most of my days and the new op's aren't as effective as the oc's. It's not the fault of the patient that the drugs are getting into the wrong hands. You can snort or shoot dilliud (sp) also. They don't change the formula on that one. All I can say is that I was once nearly pain free and could live a nearly normal life. With the op formula, I am in pain and also have stomach problems. This isn't the answer. Junkies will get high anyway so why make legit people suffer. It's heartless and just another way Big Business run the world, even at the cost of making someone's live unbearable.

I have been taking oxycontin x10mg twice daily. I am forced to crush it as it's the only way it helps my condition. I have had IBS for near 20 years and that's the only way I was able to treat myself. I know that's not what you are supposed to do but every treatment from every health care worker has failed. Now my doctor has put me on dilapidated x2mg and that has not helped in the least. Do you have any advise for me?

My story is the same as Rhonda's. Three back surgeries, the last one being a fusion. I have some kind of life at least because of the oxycontin. Without it, I would never be able to do anything, nothing, zero. At least now I can do some simply things. But when the drug was changed, I noticed it right away. I mean I understand the thinking behind it, but in the end, it effects me too in a negative way. And that is not right.

I am really sorry for what you are going through. My husband has had several back surgeries he regrets now. When he goes to get his meds. refilled, they make him feel like a drug addict. Without them, he would not make it through the day. People like to judge but until you have been through something like he has been, you should keep your comments to yourself. My husband was a hard worker. Sometimes working over 70 hours a week. He hurt his back at work. Our lives have changed for the worse since all of this happened to him. He often thinks of killing himself. He doesn't feel like a "Man". He would much rather be working than home disabled. He can not get a job to provide for his family because of his back. We lost a lot the day he injured his back but the worst part is I lost the husband I had before the injury occurred. We have three sons who have been deeeply affected by this also. I pray for all of you out there that suffer with pain and from people who judge what they know nothing about.

Sally, I am the husband you described but, to my wife. You are so correct about "having to experence it or live it".I was a store manager of a wireless phone company working those 60-70 hours. I was making a nice ammout of money so my wife and I bought a house and decided to have a child. At the time I had thought so much of myself I too judged the "injured" people. Then just before our daughter was born, boom the accident that has dibilitated me. My daughter is now almost 5 and thanks to oxycontin, fentora, and physical therapy I am just now able to pick her up. I can't push a vacuum or take a long shower and like Rhonda at 32 I have to use an auto cart at stores. (Imagine the looks at 32 year old man in a powered seat gets) It is so imbarrising but that's the only way I can shop with my family. I lost my life, my wife lost her husband, and my daughter was denied a healthy happy father. I do my best to be thankfull for the life. My wife gets really down when I look miserable etc.. which I don't blame her for. Its hard to keep that smile on yor face when you are crying in pain inside. People will continue to judge and drugs will be abused but hopefully those of us in pain will be able to find medicine like oxycontin.

My Dear Rhonda

I am so totally on the same page as you. I also have had disk herniation, I have resisted the surgery so far as I have watched my father land up in much the same situation as yourself. He can no longer urinate without a catheter, he has no sensation in his legs, he falls often, his pain is etched into his face everyday. He takes the MS Contin (Morphine - slow release). I also have no reflexes or sensation in my left leg. The pain at times is sooo unbearable, there are days you wish God would just take you home with him. There are days where getting out of bed to urinate is the most impossible feat you can see that day. I can totally understand your pain. I am 39 years old and take oxycontin as well not to mention percocet for break-through pain and gabapentin for nerve pain. Does all this take away the pain?? The answer is an emphatic "NO"!!!! it makes the pain somewhat tolerable, but gone....NOT!!!!!!! Do I experience the high that I hear so much about??? Again "NO"!!!! I always wondered what all these articles were talking about when they kept talking about the oxy high. I never once have felt "High". I have never felt euphoric or anything of the sort. I have felt a decrease in pain to make it tolerable, but again it still does not make the pain magically disappear and this wonderful euphoric "high" feeling happen. It basically keeps one from blowing their head off to rid themselves of the emense pain. Nerve pain is like no other. There is no relief where the pain is actually gone. There is always a degree of pain but the strong pain-killers like the oxy help to keeps one's sanity in the face of pain that NO ONE can understand until they feel it. My pain is the result of a workplace injury and GOD FORBID any of these people have such an injury that causes the kind of pain you and I and so many others experience. Let me tell you they will eat crow in a big bad way. When they can no longer function and can't even get up to urinate they will thank GOD and the makers of the drug. When they are in so much pain that they wish they were dead just to have some relief they can then judge people like you and I and the others out there that suffer such intense pain. Those who take the drug for recreational purposes are going to take it or others and we should not have to be punished for their abuse of the only thing that gives us the ability to continue on with life. It matters not what the substance or how they get it, they will no matter what. They will find it one way or another. For God sake people are cooking meth in the trunk of their cars with everyday household products, are we going to ban household cleaning products because people are making meth and abusing it???!!!!! Should we all go around filthy dirty because someone wants to make meth and get high??!!! It's the same principle for those of us who need this drug to function. Do these people not think we would rather have a safer, non-addictive alternative?? Of course we would, if the pharmacies could make a less addictive safer med that would decrease the pain and make it tolerable of course we would rather take that, but at this time such a thing does not exist. Those who become addicted are those who abuse the drug and take more than perscribed or take it in other methods than perscribed and that is a personal choice. People make a choice to get that "high" feeling and that is SO MUCH different than those of us who take it just to be able to get up and go to the bathroom. I sooooo understand what you are saying and my heart as well goes out to those who are in the same situation as you and I. NO ONE CAN KNOW OUR PAIN!!!! and how it ruins lives!!!!!

TRYING TO MAKE IT WITH YA!!!!!

Look the thing is just because your actually taking this for pain and u say u dont get a buzz than nok but the thing is this is the best thing the gov't could have ever done making the neo ontario alone last year had 10 times more deaths than any other province in canada. Oxy contin was the most addicting destructive concocktion ever created and despite whetre your getting it from the street or the pharmacy and whether your taking it because of pain or just because u want to it will take ahold of you and the fact that now its going to be next to impossible for people to get it is probably the bext thing thats ever happened. And by the way i dont know how long youve been taking pills for but dont act like your not feeling anything from them you might not anymore but i know for a fact as someone who has done them a million and one times all different kinds if your taking them your feeling them. You don't have to be afraid to admit it just because you have legitamite pain shit u guys desetve to feel decent

replying to your letter

Avatar Posted by Laurie at Dec 13, 2011 01:18 PM
I actually came upon your letter accidentally but it struck a chord, so I had to reply and send a letter. I believe that 16 years of working as a hairstylist, coupled with the genetics of parental inheritance of rheumatoid and osteoarthritis has left a profound impression on my dominant hand-- the right. Only xrays and an MRI can provide the surgeon with the information that essentially, he does not know what the hell he is looking at. And, he studied at The Mayo Clinic...!? So, 10+ years of swallowing oxycontin, for a series of related joint problems, mostly up and down the right side, (there was a left hip replacement too), I am faced with yet another surgery. My luck, after 6 surgeries, has been surprisingly good. I'm so sorry about your outcome. We are helpless when lying prone in that COLD operating room. Not to mention face down in your case. What goes on in there, when our "lights go out"? You mentioned the word, several times--'morality'. If a surgeon compromises his or her ethics-- may we hope that another doctor, or nurse, or any such professional will step up and "do what is right"? Ah, that is, I guess, at the heart of your message, is it not? Well, my friend, my wrist tells me that I cannot any longer maintain this position. I hope that you are, to the best of your abilities, enjoying your life, and staying one step ahead of any/all health care professionals. With my kind regards, Laurie Lazar I do hope you receive this

I can so relate to Rhonda,s situation. I was injured at work 6years ago spent the first 4 years basically commited to a wheelchair. I too am a little concerned I am on oxycotin I was sent for consultation for spinal fusion but was declined due to so much degenerative disease I was told I would either come out of recover paralized from waist down or that it simply wouldnt take and another would have to be performed and the surgereon,s exact words to me were if you are desperate enough to get this down you can find another surgeon to perform it because I will not have that type of outcome on my head. I too never have a day that can be classified as pain free even with taking my meds it just gives me somewhat a basic quality of day to day living that I may be able to get up and do my dishes on a good day my floors and maybe a load or two of laundry. Is this new oxyneo still going to provide the same type of relief in the same amount of time I have looked up as much research about it as i can find for now and have read it will take longer to break down and take effect it usually takes an hour for the oxycotin to break down by that time anyone who is truely taking it not abusing it an hour is long enough. if someone is willing to snort crush inject something only for a fix then by all means yes let them go buy what ever is on the street and take what ever risks they are taking what you think because they are abusing a prescription medication to get that instant euphoric feeling its ok no its not i dont worry about them I am concerned for those who are truely taking it for justified reasons that need it will this new product give the same relief without finding out about dangerous side effect and have another Vioxe or Celecrex incident.

I'm in tears reading how a surgery to "help your disabling pain" has rendered you disabled, still suffering from pain.
I'm so sorry for you loss because an enormous loss it is.
On the subjects of oxycontin/oxyneo( I'm Canadian) I'm furious.Why? Because I'm watching straw men( politicians) make decisions on behalf of pain specialists and anasteolists, people who studied political science( science being a poor choice word) versus PHDs in medicine with specialization in cronic pain.my initial problem was 6 years ago when a had a f tear in a tendon in my rotator cuff.They gave me percocet(t3s ceized to work)At first it was 4 a day then 6 a day.My left side compensated for the right shoulder injury; I couldn't lift, pick anything up, catch or through or hold my arm above my head longer than a minute.
I began having severe neck pain, disabling headpain at the base of my skull.After MRI, found 2 herniated disks at C6 and C7.Arthritis had set in, I've been through 3 serious road accidents, one on a motorcycle,and I'm soon to be 48.
So 2 in 2010 I was put on oxycontin 20 mg with breakthrow percocet.It worked.I'm not a fan of ANY long acting drug, as there's no CONCRETE proof ANYWHERE of the constituency into which pain relief is obtained by means of the level of medication being released.Their are no valid research nor papers written on it other than control testing with placedo where 50-60 chronic pain patients are used.That's ALL that they base their results on.... So basically, these new oxyneo sprung out within a 2 months period without the proper testing to see what side effects can result over time from taking it.
The oxycontin took 30-45 minutes to enter the bloodstream and reach pain receptors.Which already was not fast enough in a lot of instances.The info sheet that comes with the first oxyneo prescription clearly states that the medication takes " several hours" to take effect.Pharmacist told me several hours meaning 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours to reach brain receptors.
I have to take percocet 3 hours BEFORE I take oxyneo for the pain to be controlled at all... It's beyond ridiculous to have to take a "breakthrough dose" before taking the long acting
 medication!!!!
I used to be on oxycontin before they banned it in Canada.40mg every twelve hours with breakthrough meds.Before they switched to neo I weaned off and my pain specialist who also is an anashtologist gave me a nerve block injection of strong cortisone.I was, am, willing to try ANY alternative that comes my way.I get sccupuncture every week, lucky my medical clinic offstage for free.I've gone to physic.Joined a woman chronic pain group that meets twice weekly for a soak in a whirlpool then gentle movements range in a heated pool.I've tried everything shirt of surgery.I want laparoscopic disk replacement surgery as they do the procedure from the front of the neck by moving to the side the esophagus and the trachea to expose the spine and simply replace the damages herniated disks.The success rate is 95%.And it's a same day surgery,In at 8 am home at 9 pm.
Minor use of percocet us required after that MINOR.
ofcourse, they won't do it until every medication relief has been exhausted...by that time, 3 disks are damage and the irritation to the spinal cord has re he'd the lower back and legs, right leg for me goes numb after sitting more than 20 minutes in sameposition and I mean numb...massaging my foot for 5-10 minutes for circulation to return to normal.My life revolves around pain control.My social life is gone.I have 2 friends and my 29 yr old daughter whose watched me suffer so much for yrs.I can no longer attends NA/AA meetings longer than a 1/2 hr, on a good day, because of the numbness... Ergo I no longer have a life.Thank God I love reading.It's my only form of entertainment...
They are bringing back a generic version of oxycontin in Canada.I can't wait as neo has a long list of side effects.
I have had times in the past two weeks where weeping I thought I'd be better off dead, the only wY to be pain free.Tell me, what kind of life is this?

i agree with everything guylaine says it sounds just like me ,i was on oxycotin for long time ,it helped with my pain the best my disks are pretty much all gone from my neck down to top of my bum pain all the time never stops oxycotin 80 helped alot then they changed to oxyneo no help at all tried from end of febuary till may was no help at all , they caused me more problems my blood pressure went up over 50 points never had blood pressure problems before that also broke out in red rashes all over my body and no pain relieve at all ,finally my doctor took me off them all symptoms went away in a few weeks,i am on hydomorphone they work a little but not near as well as oxycotin hope to soon have generic oxycotin here in Canada but a lot off people up in arms about it ,i just wish these people could spend one day in my body they would not take long changing there minds about it , put what ever controls on it they need but make sure it is the old version so i can have a bit of quality of life again

Oxy

Avatar Posted by TeriCanDoIt at Dec 28, 2010 10:34 AM
Well I agree, I've had a chronic MRSA infection for 8 yrs now and have been on Oxy ever since, today I'm switching to Hydro Morph because the new formula isn't controlling my pain at all.
I was on the same dose of Oxy for more than three yrs and very well managed at that level until they changed the formula.

op sucks, dilaudid is much better option.

Avatar Posted by Morphinan at Aug 29, 2011 09:12 AM
I don't mind dosing 4-6 hrs (not that OC lasted more than 6 anyway)as would be required with Dilaudid, Exalgo i believe? is ER Hydromorphone, only problem is it got a naloxone core. But dilaudid is great. and so much more potent than oxycodone. I kinda wish that there would be a single entity hydrocodone product. I think that oxycontin, original formula is/was great. but id prefer 5 or 6 Norco 10/325's over 5-6 Percocet 10/325's. the hydrocodone is much better a providing quality longer lasting pain relief than oxycodone, IR, or CR. Im finding that 16mg QID is about equal to 80mg of oxycodone TID. Opana's another great option, thought i didnt find oxymorphone prduced as much euphoria (necessary part of [my]pain relief) as equianagesic dose of say hydrocodone, oxycodone, hydromorphone, levorphanol, diamorphine, or fentanyl. Duragesic came out w/ a great!!new patch. no more crappy bulky, [abusable] reservoir(though the fentanyl saturated adhesive (matrix) is JUST as abusable. but it really a delight to wear totally forget about it.

Who are you to judge someone else's pain? Even if an addict doesn't have physical pain, I'm sure they medicate their emotional pain. That's how THEY deal with it. You? Bwell you are certainly someon dealing with some kind of deep seated pain. And the way you deal with it? By being a discompassionate rude ignorant vulgar bitter snotty bitch. I'd rather deal with an addict who knows what they are and how they've used the drugs to cope rather than a loud-mouthed capital screaming freak that trolls forums looking for people to victimise because you haven't got the guts to be a human being face to face. Either that or you have an extremely small penis or a vag that feels like a big canyon full of water...

I totally agree with you,I am a chronic pain patient and before this drug ever came along all we heard about was xanax,lortab,etc.Now that I am in a pain clinic and very much in pain,If it wasn;t for Oxycontin I really just don't know what I would do.Just this Sunday I saw a program on national geo ,and it was all about the drug wars going on ,starting with Marijuana all the way to heroin.And I;ll tell you this drug Oxycontin is so far down on the real list of what this country should be spending our money on it;s not even funny.
You know It's kind of strange what is going on right now,does any one realize that all this chatting that we are doing is probably sending Google Stock through the roof.I wouldn't be one bit surprised if phardue bought all the stock they could get there hands on,We all know that as this goes on that small Pharmacies are going to go out of buss.As if it isn't bad enough out here!!!But do we really think that all these deep pockets care one iota about any of us(LOL).We know that this should be Criminal,of course It wont be by law,But if it was up to us ordinary citizens,they would already be there for fooling around with our lives like this and the Gov for going along with it,I mean being in on it.Well we all know it's the truth.How can any Gov agency pass these chemicals to be in anything we can put our hands on.Can you imagine that our arteries are going to become clogged,not to mention the unfortunate people who have cancer and the ones who have beat it,and now they have put carcinogenesis in the pill.You know that every-one was all for change when it was election time,well look around is this not the worst we have ever saw it!If it gets any worse,and it's going to,you could say that we are one of the closest countries in the world to communism,Little by little we are loosing one more right after the other.The Pres,passed a bill for children to have no cap on pre existing illnesses,But he forgot to tell us about the fact that the INS Co's dint have to sell you any,that's what one would call discrimination to so many children,but the Pres sure has made it known that he will and is going to help all the countries that need it,well with so many people here homeless and going hungry,that is one of the biggest insults slapped right in our face,and he can say that without even batting an eye,but then again he cant see all of us while up in the air or in a nice public forum,you know where you cant be if you don't look the part,no I'm sorry we just might be the bottom of the list when it comes to a poor country of poor people,because we also know that the poorest of countries like us always have the very rich holding the wealth for the chosen few,Now I know that there are alot of college kids that might say different but just wait till mom and dad are out of money and there are no jobs,that is unless you can get away,that is if you can get the money to get out of this Country.And no Country is going to open their arms to us coming in to there Country and starving their people of jobs and homes and food,No not like we are doing.And that my friends has so much to do with this mascaraed going on with the Oxycontin.It's all about money,and nothing to do with our health.If it was we would not have to be taking all the killing chemicals that the Gov is letting Phardue put in the Oxycontin.Some how some way we have got to stand up for ourselves and I believe that one way is to wipe out our Gov from the top to the bottom and try to put it back together again,I hope it is not to late.There has been so much damage done,its mind blowing when you can bring yourself to think about it.Money,Money,Money,I cant believe that we ,I mean our Gov would actually put our health in danger for this one little pill.They talk about abuse,cocaine,meth,street heroin,crack,xanax,etc.You get it!!!!!Why not Phardue take all of that money that was used to change this pill formula and put it to good use feeding and sheltering some of the people that were born and raised here for the love of humanity.Can anyone see what is going on,please lets put a stop to it,You know the Elections are just around the corner,We are the People and We Need To Stop Forgetting That!Oh and by the way did you know that Amsterdam has 85% less drug overdose than we do,and a drug system that makes all the sense in the world.Yes that doesn't sound right but it's true.If we do not stand up and fight for our rights and be heard on what we think before it's done behind our backs,like this back door scandal with Oxycontin,Then I'm afraid folks that we are going to all regret it!!!!Put the Oxycontin back like it was ,and let people have a choice if they want it or not ,you don't decide for us,And don't cram all these chemicals down our throat literally..Put it back and put your big money to some good use,theres a lot of hungery and homeless people out ,here Just take a ride and look around,you know one day you might slip and fall and if you do you need to know what your in for personaly,not from your office window ,although I dought you can see that far down..

Now my husband will have to suffer along with all the other people who really need this medication for chronic pain. This is just another example of our goverment not giving us a choice its our bodys let us decide!!!!!!!!!

The State and Federal Govt have helped pay for an addicts high if you recall methadone clinics (methadone= a synthetic form of heroin) which are now mostly privately ran. It is now the privately run clinics goals are to keep you on it for life. They would lose customers otherwise. It's a legal racket.

The addicts will merely shift to another drug as some have pointed out. Our society has ALWAYS had a addiction problem including alcohol.

Oxycontin is the current heroin. People who've posted statistics seem to be educated on the topics for the most part and I will leave the talking to them.

There's a serious problem with pain pill abuse in this country and it's polluting the brains of our high school and college kids ... So sure let's just give em a little cheap heroin every day and all will be well. We will have a country of brain dead idiots to support for the rest of their short lives.

Dear..you should not be in the field you are in. Your judgement of those needing pain pill's is sadly lacking.Yes there are those who misuse their med's but there are more who need the relief they give and their is nothing immoral about this. It's a fact of life. In fact no patient likes having to rely on narcotic med's. Pain rot's from the inside out. If i chanced upon you while getting my med's ..i would seek another pharmacy.

Avatar Posted by sarah at Jan 11, 2012 10:28 AM
thats a blatten lie...
FACTS:
1 in 5 oxy users are under 25 yrs of age
68% of CANADIANS ALONE are under the influence of oxys on a daily basis.
This type of prescription is given to cancer patients and those with SEVERE back pain.
More serious problems start to develop after more use of the drug..like: lightheadedness, confusion, disorientation, breathing problems, phantom aches/pains that body uses to trick mind into needing more.
Someone who is addicted has a decreased sense of morals and obligations, only need is to find more pills. Means that they will lie, steal, cheat, and do illegal acts in order to have more. There is also the tear down of families and loved ones. The amount of people addicted rose 12 percent since 2008. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, OxyContin abuse and addiction costs Canadians over $484 billion each year. An estimated 20 percent of people in Canada and the United States have used prescription drugs for nonmedical reasons. This is prescription drug abuse. It is a serious and growing problem so everyone that thinks there pain meds are being taken away...Look at the big picture,and maybe seek some real help,instead of turning to a drug..I HAVE 2 BULGED DISCS IN MY BACK,3 FUSED IN MY NECK,AND HAVE BREAST CANCER THAT IS NOT LETTING UP SO NEVER TELL ME I DONT KNOW.. BUT.... I HAVE NEVER NEEDED TO TAKE ANYTHING MORE THAN TYLENOL AND IM 26 YRS OLD..I KNOW THE PAIN...TRUST ME...BUT ID RATHER BE FULLY CONSCIOUS TO EXPERIENCE WHAT I HAVE LEFT OF MY LIFE.

If you really are a pharmacist didn't you just break the law by filling his prescription while aware he was going to sell it. There are protocols for that situation which you did not follow, so I'm positive you are lying about being a real pharmacist. If you were a real one why did you break the law also by enabling the street sales of oxy & not following protocol?

Amanda is correct. In Switzerland they did just that, and very soon addicts had full-time jobs, were productive members of society, had their passions back, relationships back, were off the street in apartments and homes, and crime and overdoses declined to virtually nothing. Let's not discuss things and comment on issues we know nothing about.

Avatar Posted by Insulted at Oct 04, 2010 09:09 AM
First i would like to say Amanda wasn't literally saying we should pass out Oxycontin to everyone. Drug addiction is a disease not to be taken lightly! and to wish death upon these people makes you a very cold hearted person. Not all addicts of this medication are dead beats and abusing SSI and Medicare. You need to get your facts right!! I have seen in my line of work many "professional" men and woman husbands, wives, mothers, teachers etc... Who have been put on this medication following surgerys, cancer and whatever and they have become dependent on this medication not by any choice of their own! Some people like you become judgmental of another without knowing how this person became addicted in the first place. I had surgery 4 times on my back and legs and have been on this medication for 8 years, I do not abuse it nor do i take it any other way than prescribed. It keeps my pain minimal so that I can live a somewhat normal life with my husband and kids. Yet I also can not go with out it or i get sick. Does that make me a junky? or an abuser of SSI and should I die of an over dose so as not to burden people like you? I would have to assume your on here also because of your own medication use. I understood Amandas comment and i agree that "some" may go looking for that high because they are addicted not by their choice and end up using street drugs so they don't feel sick and it's unfortunate. But they don't deserve to die! They need help! Stop playing judge and jury. That is for God to do!

Very logical....

Avatar Posted by Tired of scum... at Oct 27, 2010 09:12 AM
I agree with you "NOT SERIOUS"! I work for a pain clinic. Day in and day out I see scum coming into the office trying to get pills to abuse and/or sell. Fortunately, this doctor does not allow it and treats pain with other methods along with the medication. This doctor does not take patients who want medication(s) only. I say let the drug companies create tamper proof pills and assist the people in true need of the medications. I am tired of the scum living off my paycheck because they are looking for their next high instead of going to work and contributing to society instead of being the burden they already are.

Very logical????

Avatar Posted by Eire at Nov 04, 2010 02:42 PM
Pain clinics are designed to help those in pain. Many times, because of all the law suits, and red flags going up, on Oxycontin prescriptions, regular doctors are afraid to prescribe needed medications to people that really do need them. Pain clinics are not the first step of the ladder for these people you refer to as "SCUM!" How dare you work in such a place, cash your paycheck, while referring to the patients, that keep you employed, as "SCUM!" People that enter pain clinics generally have been through it all, tried it all, and know what works! The "scum" aren't living off of you, you are living off of them! Obviously you are not "very logical!" You sound like a judgmental ass! There will always be people that abuse anything that comes along, but to stereotype patients that happen to know what works for them, and assume they are automatically junkie scum, says very little about your sense of logic. You obviously have no clue where many patients are at, and what they have been through, before walking through the doors of a pain clinic! Opinionated people, without a logical leg to stand on, should sit the hell down, and keep their lack of compassion to themselves! If a patient is seeking medication in order to abuse it, perhaps they to once believed oxycontin was non-addictive! Maintaining the belief system you have, about those you see "day after day," is just so narrow and volatile. To work in a pain clinic you need to be wary but open minded. Is an addict, with proven pain issues any less entitled, to have their pain treated? Proper monitoring, rather than name calling, and a holier than thou attitude, would be far more effective, in HELPING those that come through your doors! If abuse is at hand, they should be given a compassionate treatment plan. I have never had a client tell me they enjoy abusing drugs. No human being deserves to be referred to as "scum" for an issue they most likely did not intend. Karma has a way of making even the blind see...so keep placing yourself above those you are supposed to serve with dignity and compassion, there's sure to be a life lesson for you along the way. Shame on you, you are in the wrong profession.

I agree, I work in a pharmacy and the amount of young people coming in to get this drug is sad. I have a family member who takes it for chronic pain and agree's the formulation should be changed.Kids are over dosing daily where I am from. Grandparents are raising thier grandchildren because the parents are addicted and abandoned them. Whoever does not take this serious is sadly mistaken. Obviously it has never touched your life, YET.....

So are you saying young people can't experience pain? That seems to be a bias where I live. If you are young (and esp male), you are expected to 'tough it out'. I've seen a couple come into the ER from a car wreck with almost identical injuries. The woman left with too many meds, the man left with none--and it wasn't because he declined.

You know it is people like you that should not be allowed to work in any type of medical facility with people/patients...you along with many others should have to go through some type of screening.

I am a chronic pain sufferer for more than half my life and have had a spinal disease as well. I had worked through the pain with their assistance. Now I am unable to work or even function and I have been trying to get help from SSI for over a year now, with a lawyers help...I have been bouncing from couch to couch, from friend to friend, sleeping where ever I can crash for the day. I can't even walk without a cane and I'm unable to support myself, at all, as of now....still. I'm 24 years of age and had worked for at least 45 to 80 hours a week since the age of 16 after having a surgery and then having another one when I was 18 and returned to work after 2weeks...because I had no choice...need to pay bills. I wish more than anything I could go to work..it has made me depressed because I can not... So what about a real person who needs the help. I see people that are more than able to work...not even half as bad as I am and they received SSI in less than 3months...I've been waiting for more than a year. Should I just stumble into a place of employment and be lying on the ground after standing for less than an hour...I don't think so... that would increase lawsuits among places of employment.. I would like to see you even put up with just the pain, let alone the frequent calls, doctor's apt., stomach problems due to all the medication stuffed down my throat...to be honest I wouldn't wish it on you or anyone for that matter...

For you to say, "Let them overdose, they won't burden us with their ficticious SSI claims and Medicaid cost." Honestly, your comment disturbs me! There are people who absolutely need the Oxycontin medication, file for SSI and need Medicaid! I'm talking about me! 42 yr old female with no health insurance at the time I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury on 6/3/10. I didn't ask for this injury to happen, I'm not asking for a "handout", what I HAVE PAID INTO SSI is what I am in such dire need of. I say, "Pray for those who abuse, addicts as the loss of one's life can be taken in a matter of seconds and it kills an entire family to lose a loved one. Pray they get help for themselves before it's too late"

you know if the goverment really let out all the hidden medical stuff we would not need the drugs we have and people would live longer lives like the time i had a mri and i could see the screen and seen what looked like metal plates in my brain i asked the tec what is that and she said dont worry about that there is something going on behind whats shown to us i will give you a hint ET
think i am joking wrong the ufo cover up has alot to do with alot of stuff and medical is included
but if the gov told all the people would freak i see these ads on tv that says you know where all the jobs are and it goes on to tell you about the medical schools go figure

Ummm ok NOT SERIOUS, they already do that. It's called methadone you idiot. And I would hate to see one of your kids die from overdose, would be kind of ironic though. People like you should be seen and not heard. Seriously, what I do hope is that your kids become addicts and let you see first hand what its like. Then maybe you won't be saying let them overdose, maybe you will, EITHER WAY YOU'RE A PIECE OF SHITE.

1ST LET ME SAY THAT UNLESS YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH 2 KIDS ON OXYCONTINS... DONT EVEN BOTHER.. TO MAKE JUDGEMMENTS... THE PILL IS EVIL AND THE DRUG COMPANIES DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU OR ME ... THE DOCTORS DONT CARE EITHER.. I WORK FOR A DR AND THEY GET RATED FOR THE DRUGS THEY PUSH ON THE PATIENTS ... I SEE IT EVERYDAY AND THEN I WATCH THE RESULTS... AND THEY ARE ADDICTED.. DOESNT MATTER .... PAIN IS PAIN BUT, THIS IS NOT THE PILL YOU WANT ISSUED AFTER SURGERY OR ANY OTHER NEED FOR PAIN MEDS.. ITS A BIG SCAM AND THEY THE DRS AND THE DRUG REPS GET A BIG KICK BACK. MY KIDS 20 & 23 ARE SNORTING THESE PILLS. AND ARE RUINING THEIR LIFE AND OUR FAMILY. WE DONT HAVE MEDICAL INSURANCE AND SO I AM JUMPING THRU HOOPS TO GET THEM IN A REHAB. I AM IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND DONT HAVE INSURANCE.... THEY DONT CARE ABOUT NO ONE.... EVEN WHEN YOU GO TO THE E.R. THEY AUTOMATICLY GIVE YOU PERCOCET FOR A PAIN EVEN IF MINOR ISSUE... THEN IT GOES FROM THERE. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE MEDICAL WORLD COVERING UP THEIR ABUSE TO ALL THE PATIENTS THEY ARE TO BE TAKING CARE OF. THIS PILL KILLS AND ADDICTS VERY EASY.
I ALSO HAVE HEARD THAT SINCE THEY ARE UNABLE TO SNORT THE PILL THEY ARE INSERTING IT IN THEIR RECTUM ... HOW CRAZY IS THAT... INSTANT HIGH... SO ITS ALL BULLSHIT...

Oxy formulation

Avatar Posted by Jeff at May 31, 2011 08:44 AM
Your kids will no longer be able to snort this drug. it is in a sticky, resinous matrix that sequesters the drug so it can not be absorbed by the mucus membranes. It has to be released by digestion of the pill. So it is now much more difficult to abuse. I have taken low dose Oxycontin for chronic back pain for years and I can not tell any difference between the old and new formulation. If you take this medication as directed by your Doctor, it is extremely effective for pain control. Perdue has finally done what they should have done from the beginning.

I have chronic pain and have been on oxycontin for 10 years now, with only one change in dosage and only recently.
I have not ever abused my medication in anyway. Before I started my treatment I wasn't able bodied;
"NOT ABLE TO FUNCTION", and not work... Would YOU rather see people laying in their beds at home on welfare or
pensions and so more people like you can go out and pay MORE taxes just for injured people like me to eat more
KRAFT DINER!! Just to satisfy your ego to say that NO-ONE is taking any of these medications... With the medication
I'm an UNDERGROUND MINER!! And a DAME GOOD ONE.. But not on them, I can't get out of bed or even put on my socks you
fu**in TARD! Now what am I gonna do to support my family asshole! I know what I'm in store for. Since your so smart,
how about you tell me how to fix my back in 2 places and my neck that have had nerves shredded to hell. Thank before you
fu**in talk on here, not just here, THINK BEFORE YOU TALK period. I'm NOT one of those welfare junkies your thinking

I had a shoulder replaced in 95, broke my neck 3 times and now have stage five inoperable bone degeneration in my neck, my father and I are certified addictions counsellors. I was forced o stop working 2 years ago due to a 90 percent loss of the use in both hands. My medical professionals tried to get me on opiates but my mind was too clouded and the stigma was unbearable. Once I lost the ability to work or even get around my doctor insisted on my trying OC, to be on the safe side I got my wife to lock them in a safe and dole them out to me, she also documents my intake, I was excited at the prospect of a safer product as I don't chew or snort them, I believed the hype that it wouldn't be any different. In 45 days my tolerence went up so high that my 3 breakthrough percocet were useless so I decided to half my intake to lower my ability to tolerate the drug, all I got for my trouble is extreme heartburn, pills that stick in my throat and I end up vomiting. The only long term effect I have seen is higher tolereance whick will inevitably lead to more overdoses when impatient junkies take too many not thinking, its funny how outraged self rightious ppl have tunnel vision, where is your outrage with the wino, the father who lost his family and everything else 30 minutes after saying VEGAS BABY! Just because your government says its right, don't make it so........e.g remember Vietnam? Use your brains a little, nothing the goverment does is for your sake, its the allmight dollar that's doing all the talking

 ok not serious how about methadone which dr.s who perscribe it will take addicts as high as 350ml in some cases and guess what methadone is the worst opiate based drug to kick oxy withdraw cant compare, also 85-90% of methadone user still use and thats when overdose happens injecting high amounts of herion to cut through the methadon.

I must say that i cant agree with you more, the new tamperless drug or what ever they are calling it NOW!!
 is good but bad at the same time! now that drug users cant crush them they will graduate to a bigger and more harmfull drugs, I also believe that the percentage of overdoses will be extremley high, now crack cocain, heroin, and other extremley harmful drugs will be at the top of the list for drug users to get high!!..if a drug user wants to get high they CAN and WILL find a way!!!! who knows maybe this will be a way to get drug users to quit? (its doubt full) but maybe!! i really hope they know what they are doing.. this may cause a bigger problem then what is going on now but all we can do is wait and see..

I have tried the new ones... They work just as well as the prior type and if you suck on them they break down rather quickly and give you which I think is a better high than the old ones. It does SUCK that you cant just crush them if the pain gets real BAD once in a while like I have done quite often when my Sciatica is at its worse and believe me all these J. As that dont know what the pain of full blown Sciatica or other ailments that cause pain feels like think is such a terrible thing. Anyway good luck to all......

Avatar Posted by Katie at Oct 05, 2010 09:14 AM
Russell- I have been on 20 mg. 3X a day for many years. I don't think this new formulation is working either. I'm in terrible pain and not getting relief, which never happened before. In addition, I can't even believe the constipation problems that I am suddenly having as well! I'm very active and drink a ton of fluids and I can't go to the bathroom for 4 or 5 days, and then I have to take a ton of laxatives to remedy the situation. I am sooo angry that my pain is no longer controllable with worse side effects! Guess I will have to try something else?

Deb , the new formula does not work as well. Ispoke to my doc and he disagrees, how does he know hes not in severe back pain. He stated the f.d.a. spent years of testing , what a joke I could have told them that the pill works a little longer , but because it is released over 12 hours its not as strong. You need not be a chemist to fiqure that out. As far as people who have children abusing this stuff, be honest do you really blame purdue for that.I am 60 had children all three are professionals, I spent from the time they got out of school to 900 pm with them on school nights , during the summer i worked nights coached them in all sports until they went to college. If I wasnt there my wife was thats what it took to keep these guys honest, plus they new if they screwed up there was hell to pay. Most parents worry about what they will be on for the weekend, how many of these parents smoke weed and hide their stash in the house, the kids know alot more than you think. Many times kids told me what was going on in their house, most of the time parents should blame themselves instead of eveyone else.Parents that are dealing with these issues my heart goes out to you , if I were you get help ,no meth , it screws up their bones the subxone pill sorry for spelling, is the best way to go wean them off that after a few months if they been on oxys less than 5 years they can return to normal life . I worked in a state prison over thirty years saw it all , The more you spoil your children when they are 5,6,7, 8, the harder it will be to deal with them at 12 to 35.

new vs old oxycontin

Avatar Posted by karyn at Sep 27, 2010 09:58 AM
Whoever got Oxycontin at a Pharmacy level has to laugh at the whole "hillbilly heroin" terminology. Do you guys have any clue what the cost of this drug is?? Not to mention the fear generated by FDA/DEA rules that make Doc.s afraid to even breathe this drug's name, let alone rxing it. Oxycontin is rxed by the very few Docs whole specialize in treating long term chronic,disabling pain out of a hospital setting. These doctors receive horrible peer pressure and reputation loss, just because they have the guts to be Physiartrists. I know the landscape of horrible chronic pain very well, due to a neck injury more than 12 years ago. I take Oxycontin every day, at the lowest dose possible for me. That dose is 140mg, and has been the same for 6 years. In my personal opinion, the new form takes longer to "kick in", but seems to last longer, and with more even levels thru out the day. I am blessed with great health insurance, but my dearest freind, who is on state Medicaid, cannot find a doctor IN THE ENTIRE STATE to treat her Ruematoid arthritis. A travesty. My Aunt, a R.A victim, said it best: "The worst thing about this disease is that it DOESN'T kill you". The statistics show that the DEA controls on Oxycontin abuse by kids,people addicted to other "street level" drugs, and other mis-
users have gotten to the level of "urban myth". God Bless the doctors who specialize in Pain Management, b/c believe you me,these Doc.s have to jump thru regulatory hoops, just to treat the peoples that alot of other Docs are afraid to.

Let me say that they DO NOT work the same as the old formula. I had to change to Opana and let me say that going from oxy to a morphine based med is horrible. Your body gets used to the oxy and switching is like putting yourself into withdrawl on 24 hour basis. ITs just not the same. My Dr. told me that MANY others have complained that this new formula isn't working the same.

Oxycotin

Avatar Posted by Chem-man at Sep 21, 2010 02:00 PM
I'm working the problem. What I have come up with for a interim fix is to make a cup of tea. After the tea is at a boil I took approximately 40 ml of the boiling tea and let it reduce in temp just below boil. I used a callous grater to reduce the oxy pill to a coarse powder and it dissolved in the hot tea. I stirred the tea vigorously and the coarse powder dissolved. You must ingest the liquid at the highest temp you can tolerate. Temperatures below boiling will not destroy the chemical chain. It is really bad tasting so I added a touch of sugar. I know it may sound like a pain but you get full use of the drug. I'm working on various methods to overcome the addition of Remoxy. It will not take too long to find the solution but I lost my job because I'm crippled with arthritis and need a 30-40mg jolt in the morning just to get out of bed. Now I craw to the kitchen to make my tea.Life sucks with 24/7 pain. I would rather be dead then to live with this pain. At least in death there is no pain.

Do not put your new oxy into less than boiling water, come on freaks, NOTHING breaks down the chemical EPOXY, which is another name for glue. That is what we are ingesting, GLUE. Go ahead, try to dilute it and anytime mixed with any liquid you will just get a big blob of Glue!
Thanks Purdu-pharma, besides my pain being back you are causing more health problems, I just love ingesting Glue.
OPANA is the way to go fellow pain sufferers. The only thing we can hope for is that this glue pushing is stopped.

By that rationale, you clearly were not sufficiently educated to be writing publicly displayed, political rhetoric. Reading your claim was utterly painful and the manner in which it was written was so horrid that it completely killed the effectiveness of whatever you were trying to say. Cheers

oxycontin reformulation

Avatar Posted by Barry Schecter at Sep 30, 2010 09:18 AM
I am very pleased to see that oxycontin manufacturer PerduePharma has changed their formulation so that it will be more difficult to be abused. Oxycontin is an excellent medication, for patients that are in serious pain. The fact that it has been abused to the degree that it has been has caused clinicians to be apprehensive about prescribing it. If you do not have malignant pain, or other serious pain, you probably don't need Oxycontin. I spend most of my life treating people that used Oxycontin recreationally, and never thought that they would end up dependent, but they do. I am not sure if some of the writers really understand addiction, what it is like, the possible ways to end or control addiction. What seems like fun today, will have long term, very significant effects on your life. I am not just talking through my hat, this is something that I spent the last 41 years studying. Just FYI, The Taliban actually almost ended Afghanistan's production of opium. I am a Professor at a State University, and this is actually part of a graduate course that I teach. If you check the actual statistics, in 2000, the whole country of Afghanistan, run by the Taliban, produced a total of 90 Hectares of opium for export. In 2004, under US supervision and occupation, Afghanistan exported over 4,000 metric tons, and each year since, has broken the previous years record. So, I don't think the Taliban have anything to do with it. By the way, I do know some really good addiction medicine physicians, which you will need, if you continue to use Oxycontin for non-malignant pain. Please get your facts straight. Heroin maintenance, is not a very good treatment modality for addiction. That would be like having an alcoholic just drinkl pure grain alcohol 3x daily, and consider it a success. I would appreciate any feedback. barrys8042@aol.com

Why don't they work anymore?

Avatar Posted by Susan Davis at Nov 22, 2010 09:41 AM
Here is an idea for you.... Create a study to prove to Purdue that they DON'T work anymore like they used to. There is a reason all of us keep saying this...

I used to be able to take it with breakfast and I had full pain relief within 30 minutes to get dressed for work etc. They worked for a full 8 hours with no side effects (and no high). With the new formula, it takes a couple of hours to begin working and it only seems to give me about 60% of the pain relief I was getting. I'm eating Advil and my break thru meds like candy just to function and work. This mirrors what everyone else is saying. Someone with credentials like yours needs to start a research study to prove that they don't work as well as they used to.

And we all know that Purdue KNEW THIS when they went to market. They said they had proof that blood levels were consistent with the new formula, but their study had to be either flawed or corrupted because they DON'T WORK like they used to. NOT EVEN CLOSE. A researcher needs to hook up with a journalist to uncover the real reason they went with this formula.

You sir, are a moron.

Insinuating that safety measures will cause others to go to other drugs may be true for current addicts, which I will bet includes you!

This process will stop morons from trying the drug as a recreational pharmaceutical in the first place. This could have saved your butt years ago; or would you have just gone right to HEROIN?

Kids may try a pristine drug made in a regulated licensed lab, but tell new users to start on the street with some powder that may have cleanser in it, no thanks; but go ahead and inject yourself with it.

Any other thousands of bits from viruses to fecal from unwashed hands could be on it, but go ahead and inject yourself with it.

Think of all the crap that can get into a non sterile environment, add that to your power and inject in you veins? But go ahead and inject yourself with it!

Think the purity is the same bag to bag? One day to the next? Use one of two bags; they look the same but one is twice as powerful. Can you tell? That is why this stuff is KILLING people.

You want the 'safe' fix. No such think mate!

I agree...this move does two or three primary health and 'War on Terror' ie Support the Taliban Movement (It seems..)

1.) The price of Oxy's on the street has gone down by over 50%, so pretty much all in what your in it for -
a.) A fast kick that dies in about 1-1.5 hours, or
b.) Taking advantage of the up to 1/3rd less price per quantity..You can have ~70-80% of the euphoria by buying 2-4 times the quantity and simply swallowing them and enjoying the much longer, and much more addictive (re:methedone's life-endangering withdrawal due to the body's continuous reliance/presence in the body). So the FDA has helped addicts to enjoy their favorite drug for much longer periods at the same price, or as the last commentor correctly noted:
c.) Driving down the price demanded for the strongest most highly concentrated herion both of which, one might note, the end result is skyrocketing Dependence rate and mucho mucho higher heroin death's due to accidental overdose by the cheaper and stronger mixed herion street heroin.

Maybe saddest of all, this drives the incentive for America-Non-Appreciators to laugh all the way to the bank...and to the bombs/munitions/weapons supplier.

Someone either didn't think this through, or they just want to avoid further multimillion dollar suits, without giving a dang about the cost in the ruination of the best times of American's lives, or the live of our heroes whose tombstones they should pay for.

SNAFU in the drug war. P.S. Who was the wizard that wrote nonaddictive, nondangerous psychedelic Summer of Love drugs out of reality, and converted Recreational brain fun to only include alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine, and the super opiates.

I smell conspirancy cooking, by a master chef, and Dinner's On; YEEHAW (satirical exclamation).

Try mushrooms and peyote instead, which have 0 addictivity, grown wild (ie via God) as a signpost for the path back to heaven.

Good thing I love cheap heroin! I don't even have to attend methadone anymore; $60 keeps me euphoric and FAR less physically addicted now that our DEA has yelped us addicts so much.

God bless them as the patriots they are!

Out with Purdue Co. and in with worthless Remoxy additive for new OxyContin forumula

Avatar Posted by vjjulius at Jan 11, 2011 10:19 AM
What a waste of time and money the newer version of Oxycontin provided. NOW, I am left with major pain as a result of this medication removed off the shelves due to the egotists, politicians and their supporters!

I agree with Joe's statement re: the new and worthless formula for Oxycontin. Sounds to me like the manufacturer co. was heavily pressured to develop a supposed equivalent pain medication to that of their original formula for Oxycontin; but, THEY FAILED MISERABLY TO DEVELOP AN EQUIVALENT... miserably. On a scale of 1-10 to rate it's effectiveness I would rate it at best- 1. I've had miraculous pain relief from the original version and took it as ordered. Primarily, my main health problem is that I endured and painstakingly went through a long history of excrutiating pain due to the need for joint replacement? Pre-surgery pain is just as painful as Postsurgery. Due to other health issues makes my healing of my new knee joint replacement everlasting, such as: heart trouble, diabetes, spinal L4, L5, and L6 irreparable damages equals continual lower spinal pain to name a few.

Oxycontin has been a GODSEND I've experienced... ever! Then to find out that Obama signed papers to have this miracal medication removed forever was traumatizing to say the least. I do not for one minute blame Obama for this horrible decision I know that many, of the wannabes trying to make a name for themselves, or move up the work ladder was probably part of the intent, or motive behind this cruel action.

To have this medication taken off the shelves without bringing it to a VOTE to THE PEOPLE violated not only our Due Process of law; but, violates our right to participate or have say in the kind of Health Care and many other basic rights. Yes, the people who perhaps abused the drug and other reasons. However, so goes this matter with many other types of drugs as well; but, like Joe says in his view above, people are going to get high no matter what. Nothing will stand in their way. It's a preplanned issue that is no different that people who plan to go out for the evening and have drinks at their choice of entertainment hangout whether it's a club, restaurant, Dance Studio and other recreational outings. It will happen if thats what a person plans to do by their own will and choice.
 
So then, why pick on and target this miraculous pain reliever? OMG, I know that many people young and old rely on this medication because it is the only one that actually helps then to walk, helps them increase enough mobility to get up and get around better and without this what will me and others like my situation going to do now? I know without a doubt there is NO SUBSTITUTE for OxyContin SR and the new version that speaks of having Remoxy additive in it that prevents one from crushing, or snorting it? Well then it must be the sole ingredient that also removed and reduced tremendously the actual pain reliever impact this miracle drug ONCE CONTAINED... BUT, NO LONGER!

How, can we AS A PEOPLE, REQUEST THAT THE PURDUE CO. GET THIS PAIN MEDICATION REINSTATED AND PUT BACK ON THE SHELVES IN PHARMACIES AROUND THE U.S.? After all, all the other States, including Canada still provides this miracle drug for their people, except the United States.

New formula works, but.....

Avatar Posted by Mike at Mar 28, 2011 10:46 AM
As stated by others, the use of oxycodone from the oxycontin has led to a resurgance in heroin use. The new formula works; I laughed when someone I know was mad about the fact he couldn't crush them up and snort them anymore. The old formula, which was the same as MS-Contin (sustained release morphine) made it possible for abusers to crush the pills. The new ones just turn to gell, no matter what a novice does; any contact with water gells up. But people will eventually turn to the less expensive, unregulated heroin. I don't know where they came up with "hillbilly heroin." Heroin is more "hillbilly" and therefore, what abusers of Oxycontin go down to when they can no longer abuse oxycodone.

Join Us...in the
International Boycott Of The Arabic Drug Empire Phase 2
Welcome to FASC Concepts / The Day The World Stood Still / We are at War with a Drug Empire
 For nine years we have been at war and I still ask the big why ? Why is there a hands off policy that prevent the destruction of these poppy plants ? Did you know that American Dollars supported the Terrorist Attack on 9/11/2001, and thousands of lives have been lost. Who are the investors of the Pharmaceutical Company Purdue that makes Oxycontin and how are they above the Law ? Oxycontin is Heroin made from the opium / poppy plants. It is Illegal by Law to buy and resale Heroin. Purdue is responsible for the deaths on 9/11 and the on going addiction here in America. If it was Purdue who wished to be known as the largest heroin dealer in the USA, well congratulations and for showing the people who you do business with.
 This drug from the poppy plant and the fight against its use goes back around 4000 to 6000 years and man seeks to control that which has shown that the poppy plant is as nature selected, uncontrollable. This is like a old saying as the as the Scorpion stung the Frog as he swim across the water and the Frog said why did you do this , now both of us will die ? And the Scorpion said it is my nature....
 This is my War against the Arabic Drug Empire......
Please allow me to share a concept with the People Of America, that will build for tomorrow. The Great Wall Of China in America. A 10 year project, and within the respect of why China built that wall and even as of today China makes money form that wall. This project will build towns and cities on both sides of the border and will bring peace and security. Another concepts is,
 To find a way into the hearts of children, first you must allow a truth to be shared and then let this share build within their hearts and you will see children open their minds to things not known.
I read these things and I see where the Arabic Drug Empire is involved with the Mexican Drug Lords. What lost of understanding is that according to the faith of Bin Laden it is forbidden by God to walk among the infidels. That all infidels are to be vanquished from this world in order that the chosen ones will repopulate the world. It is a well known fact that the Arabic Drug Empire seek biological war tactics and it has been heard that a chemical balance is sought of how to implement Biological with Drugs, in order for it to be undetectable. The betraying of the Mexican Drug Lords by The Arabic Drug Empire will bring death to Mexico and the United States. Why should the Mexican Drug Empire take faith in my words, first If you and I stood before God I say to you that this is true it is the words of the streets that hold credit, and nothing is offered to them, The Mexican Drug Lords, dealing drugs is illegal.
 When I wrote my first " Boycott" I just wanted to see the trickle effect it would have, with out stepping into a forth dimension and having my in site lost. The Arabic Drug Empire is the only one in the world that seeks to kill every last man woman and child in the world in order for their chosen few can repopulate the world....Our goal is for our words to go around the world, to be heard in the streets to the country until it reaches the White House and shakes the very foundation of this Government Institution. It is not what we say that counts in as much as, it is what we do not say that builds words of truth. Some say that a Boycott is a waist of time, but it would depend on what is said , to understand we wish to live and we fight with words of truth to in force our right, because we face inhalation through the miss use of a faith.
It is not our goal to change a way a people think, but it is a goal to show only a truth, my goal is simple, to bring the destruction and down fall of this empire...
 Some people ask me not to post this that some will think that i am nuts, but hey, look at this stuff that people do because of drugs, I think that nuts fits this drug world real good.
 The following is also linked to drugs and Drug Empires that date back around 1000 years BC and a World and things not spoken of because of a intent for it to disappear from the knowledge of Mankind. A world so old that time its self had all most for got. A true story, also documented in history. That because of malevolent acts that is also ancient and is also documented history before Christ, the sacrileges committed against God in order to gain great wealth and to enslave nations through drugs, to build children into that they wish.... All of this is true and a fact of documentation of history. This sacrilege spoken of is in fact the sacrifice of life to spiritual evil. Even now documentation in Mexico and the United States , 1979 to 2000 reports filed and some cover ups now proved to be true. It is time to step away sit back and see what this drug dealing is doing and see those who have begun to lose their soul to this money making drug and the true and ancient evil bound to it. You do not have to take faith in my words for now, let your soul and mind speak to you. Some people seek proof of God, will, let me show you the essence of evil first and ah, will enjoy the ride, because it is said by thousands of people who do drugs that some how a door was opened to them a what came through to them, is only felt / sensed, and it stays in a darkness unseen to eyes, as it twist their soul into the thing of which they are not. As for me I read and I see that the fate of men is within their hands. So Im nuts huuu....Will I have shown you the links and a truth that you did not know, a world that should have been lost in knowledge of things so old and built within Empires, so help to pay this forward.

Abuse proof Oxycontin

Avatar Posted by Mike mason at Aug 31, 2010 12:42 PM
There was already a generic form of Oxycontin on the market at one time in the past. It, just like the so called new formulated oxycontin would turn to jelly when crushed for snorting or IV use.
Patients with chronic pain refused this drug because it fell short doing little or nothing to stop the pain.
There will ALWAYS be those that abuse drugs. Now that oxycontin will be made abuse proof look for Heroin abuse to skyrocket as well as heroin related deaths. MARK MY WORDS.

People will prob. find a way to extract the oxycodone from these pills in spite of all the effort to thwart the practice

AGAIN, PEOPLE WILL ABUSE DRUGS NO MATTER HOW HARD EXPERTS TRY TO STOP IT.

But the bottom line is people with chronic pain need a pain killer that works. they dont care about laws or DA's nor do they care if it somehow offends the great Baboonga in the sky.
When taken as prescribed, Oxycontin is the best pain killer that can be obtained.
People can thump their bibles until their fingernails fall off. They will never stop drug abuse,.

Watch for Heroin to make a rapid comeback as a result of this foolishness.

New Formula Purdue Oxycontin

Avatar Posted by Leah Foley-Toth at Sep 02, 2010 03:42 PM
As the writer above states, abusers will always abuse, and find a way to overcome ANY new "formula", and, watch for heroin addiction to reach an all-time high, with more overdoses and deaths than ever. People who have abused this life-saving drug, for those of us who live in excruciating pain, were abusers in the first place, or already have the makings of an addict within them already. They will ALWAYS find something to get high on.

For people like me, (I have both Systemic Lupus and Cancer), this drug has saved lives. I spent the better part of six years in a wheelchair, bedbound and housebound. You call that a life? All I ever thought about was how to kill myself, and prayed constantly for "God" to take me out. I had to close the doors of my very successful Therapy practice, stop teaching (which I loved) and complete lost all my sense of purpose in life. Life, was over, and I was just supposed to live it out in agony? When I finally relented and was sent to a Pain Management Specialist by my PCP, it was a Godsend. She put me on Oxycontin, and withing three weeks I was out of my wheelchair and out of bed. Within a year, I was driving again, got my independence, and therefore, much of my life back.

I thank the powers that be everyday for this drug. Remember why it was made in the first damn place. Not ALL people who take this drug are "abusers". I've never abused a drug in my life, including alcohol, the most dangerous drug of all. Are you aware that alcohol kills more people every year than all "abused" drugs, both pharmas and street drugs combined? Do your research and you'll find this to be a fact.

But all you right-wing, holier-than-thou idiots who have not one ounce of compassion for those of us in pain, think that we should just live out our lives wishing we were dead instead.

I hope those of you who are pushing for this new formula get a horrible, painful disease, and can't get a medication to give you any relief whatsoever. Then maybe you'll change your tune. Read up on "Addictive Personality". You'll find that it's already there, in those that abuse ANY drug/alcohol, etc, and has nothing at all to do with those of us in pain from HELL who need relief or we will up the suicide rate to monumental highs. Look for it to happen, I guarantee it.

Leah, I too use oxycontin daily to help with pain. I fully understand your point. However, do not condemn "right winged holier than thou" people. If you do your research it is more liberal agenda's that are trying to get the drug removed. I and all I know, fully support the drug and want it to stay. The new "anti-abuse" formula may help (I hope) with stopping abuse and allow us to continue to use the "wonder drug" that oxy was meant to be! I thank Purdue for making oxy. and remember, God made the poppy plant, People without God in their lives, looking to fill that void, are the ones who abuse it. We bible thumpers love the pill! when used properly this is the best medicine out there!!!!

Roxicodone is the same medication that's in Oxycontin, brain trust; it's just the immediate release form of the drug. Changing the medication is molecularly bound to itself to make it more difficult for abusers to get high off it will in no way affect the efficacy of the drug; Purdue didn't even have to submit new studies to the FDA, which means that the FDA considers this drug to be bioequivalent to the old formulation. I don't understand this desire to "punish Purdue," or the panic that the new formulation won't work as well as the old. The only people who should be concerned with differences between the formulations are people who are using the drug improperly to get high.

Oxycontin

Avatar Posted by Kerby at Sep 20, 2010 09:28 AM
Darren, I agree with you in theory regarding the new oxy formula and that only those using the drug to get high should worry about the reformulation. That said I offer that, having now taken the new formula for 2 weeks, the new formula does not offer the same degree and duration of relief provided by the original formula. I will be discussing this with my pharmacist and notifying Perdue of my personal experience. The reality is I will most likely increase to 60mg 2 x day from 40mg. I am currently having to take percoset every 4 hrs to get thru the day and keep my pain at tolerable levels. This new stuff is as bad as Teva's generic oxy and needs to be reformulated to provide the same level of relief as it did previously. I believe Perdue will get it fixed in time provided legitimate users of oxy provide them quality feedback. The stoners of the world will get high regardless of what happens with this drug.

Some REAL Facts

Avatar Posted by Brad at Sep 13, 2010 09:00 AM
Ok-Please allow me to inform you on some of the truth. To start with, Oxycontin is not made from heroin, it is made from oxycodone, wich is a semi-synthetic derrivative of thebaine. Thebaine-like morphine, papverine, and codeine(or methlymorphinan)-is one of many natural constituants of the poppy plant. Basically the natural thebaine is extracted from the opium poppy, then synthetically altered to have more of an analgesic effect, as thebaine is by nature more of a stimulant. Papaverine is a natural muscle relaxant, and morphine and codeine are of course natural analgesics. These four are combined with nearly 200 additional opiate alkaloids that are far less useful to make up opium. Heroin is, like oxycodone, a semi-synthetic, but it is altered morphine rather than thebaine. Heroin was originaly available (begining in the late 1800's) without an rx script nearly everywhere, even as a kit that came with a set of hypodermic syringes through the Sears catologue! Heroin was originaly a brand name, patented, marketed, and sold by Bayer-while the "real" name for it is diacetylmorphine.

Purdue does NOT support terrorist groups. Although it is estimated that 97% of the opium in the world is produced in Afghanistan, none of this opium is used for the medical industry. There are trade restrictions to prevent this from happening. Just about all of the opium produced in the world for medicine is grown in India.

And there are many people like me that endure chronic pain find that Oxycontin is an excellent medication to help alleviate some of the pain. Obviously there are many of us out there that truely need this medication, otherwise it would not be on the market to begin with! So please, don't take away our medicine, and don't spread false information to criminalize people or things that have done no wrong! Thank you

I have also been taking Oxycontin for over 6 years and a couple of weeks ago I got this 'New' version and my pain is not being relieved anymore. Yes, it sucks that those of us who use the medication correctly will now pay for the abusers. Now I will have to search for another pain releiver. Any suggestions?

I dont know if you found any other pain relievers, but I did a search of pain medications and they had a list of some that I thought might sound good. I haven't looked into all of them yet but just to name a few: Dilaudid (hydromorphone) ~ Fentanyl TD (Transdermal);{they're patches but Ive heard the come in tablet form} ~ Oxycodone HCI-Oxycodone-ASA Oral ~ Morphine ~ Morphine Sulfate. There's 2 websites you might want to check out: www.rxlist.com & www.drugs.com I hope that any of this information will help you.

Avatar Posted by Rosie at Sep 24, 2010 09:31 AM
If you legitamitally take the Oxy, prescribed for pain, and dont like it as i do because i have break through pain after 3 hours, which should take care of pain for at least 8+ hours, and i have constant stomach pains and nausea, i thought this was suppose to take away the pain, not cause more! You all got a pamflet that described the new OP formula and it included Purdue's phone number with a request to contact them with your opinion of the new drug. CALL them and tell them what you think! If enough people call and explain this is not working and now innocent people are suffering, they will react.

Your Wrong

Avatar Posted by Knowledge is Power at Aug 31, 2010 12:42 PM
The new formulation works just like the old when taken the right way... your pain would definitely be acted upon by the medication as its always been. stop posting mis information... you just want to abuse it again... pharmacists have reported that the new formulation is actually more effective...

YOU'RE WRONG

Avatar Posted by Jessica at Sep 02, 2010 03:42 PM
You must not take this medication because this new formulation doesn't work just like the old even when taken the right way. I don't know what pharmacists would say they work more effectively when it takes so much longer to dissolve. Not only does it have the regular coating on it, but when you peel that off, your stuck with a pill that looks like its been dipped in rubber cement over and over. Obviously there are plenty of people who take this medication as directed and they even say it's taking longer for it to work for them. So if anyone is posting mis information...it's you.

re: Jessica

Avatar Posted by Scarlett at Sep 07, 2010 04:42 PM
Why in God's name would you be taking off the regular coating? Violating the integrity of the coating can dump the entire 12 hour dose into your system, which can be toxic. The information that pharmacists have been given -- and this is factual information, with organic chemistry bonding charts and stuff, not propaganda from Purdue or anyone else -- says that the drug should be released in exactly the same manner as the old formulation.

RE:Scarlett

Avatar Posted by Jessica at Sep 09, 2010 09:25 AM
Well the new fomulation isn't working like the old medication! As I asked Knowledge...Do you take this medication? Do u know what is like to be in so much pain that you can't get out of bed in the morning? I seriously doubt it cause you wouldn't be saying anything about peeling the coating off so you can get maxium relief when you need it. When these new pills are coated over and over in this new "Remoxy" formula, they take long to work. If you haven't read other people's storied about how they have to double up on the "new pills" then maybe you would understand why peeling the coating off of the old, regular pills, that worked perfectly fine. How ever ur doctor directs you to take it, thats how you take it. Whether he/she tells you to peel the coating off, bite them and chew them, or shove the up ur ass. That's what ur gonna do to get the most benefits of your pain medication so you can get up and function like a human begin. As far as Purdue, They just fucked themselves cuz so many people are switching over to something else. SO unless you take this medication, dont act like you know what ur talking about.

These people have NO CLUE what it is like to live in constant PAIN EVERY SINGLE MOMENT OF EVERY SINGLE DAY!
I live with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy-and have for almost 10yrs.
These people are painting a picture of people who have minor back pain-or stubbed their toe for that fact...
IMAGINE having someone SHOVE A RAILROAD SPIKE into both of your knees-AND TWIST! Now imagine that pain radiating down your legs and up your back...the whole time pulling all of your nerves out through your hips.
And now- here's another thought-NOW IMAGINE THAT PAIN NEVER GOING AWAY!
I wake up in the morning and literally can not roll over in bed, let alone try to get up to go to the bathroom...imagine having to lay there for an hour waiting for your medications to kick in so you can get up and go...?
And if that wasn't bad enough? Now I'm going to have to lay there for 3hrs? How is that humane?
Never mind the overdoses-I wonder what the suicide rate is going to go up to..?..
Don't tell me how to take my meds-PERIOD.Not until u have walked 1 day in my shoes (oh, that's right-you can't-my feet hurt so bad I don't even wear shoes anymore!)
Who are these people? Mind your own business. Unless you live in pain-and are taking this medication-YOU HAVE NO IDEA IF IT WORKS THE SAME OR NOT---AND IT DOESN'T!!!!!

I dont agree with cruhing em up or peel the coating off ......this shit cant stop your breathing you know that i been taken this medication for 14 years now and was told from the time i was 12 how to take this medication if ya need more for it to work because you built a tollerance up or what not ask your doctor dont start crushing or peeling coats cuz as soon as you do that it just became ileagl

I'm been on Oxy for over one year and have never abused it. I just got my first script of the new formula on 9/16/10. I'm in Florida... and I have to say that it don't work like the old at all. I should last 12 hours, I wake up in pain and withdraw at 6:00am every morning. I take my med at 7:00 am. The old formula would kick in about 7:30, the new kicks in around 8:15am. I get off work at 5:00 pm and start withdraw and pain around 3:30pm on the new formula. I can't take it again till 7:00pm. I suffer from 3:30pm to about 8:15 before it kicks in then I go to bed and do it all over again.

NEW OXY FORMULA

Avatar Posted by SAMMYKINS at Sep 13, 2010 09:00 AM
THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE WRONG. Do YOU take them? I do. And the pharmacies around here have not been having the positive reviews you speak of around here. I have NEVER abused any of the medication I am prescribed. I was in 2 very bad car accidents and as a result, have pain that actually began to prohibit my ability to even care for my children on my own. The new formula takes hours to start giving any pain relief. for me, they cause horrible stomach upset, that the prior formulation did not cause. The only thing I see happening, is having my doc raise the mg. of my daily dose. What good does that do anyone? In the end then, if I needed to come off them it will just make it that much harder. This did no one any good. It hurt the ppl who actully need them, and rest assured the drug abusers will find a way, or turn to an illicit street drug. Either way, I hope another drug company takes advantage of this and puts out a new drug that would be similar to the old formulation of Oxycontin! They will have my business!

NEW FORMULA

Avatar Posted by CHRIS at Sep 20, 2010 09:28 AM
The new formula surely does not work nearly as well as the old formula does. I just turned 29 and had my 1st. major back and spinal nerve surgery at the age of 22. I had been on Oxycontin for 5 years now. Before my 1st doctor RX, I had no life, was severely depressed and bed-bound, and caused me my relationship with my wonderful girlfriend at the time. We would try to have an active and healthy relationship but the pain I lived with every waking minute of my day I was house-bound. I lived on my couch or just slept (or tried to). I could not enjoy my life. Oxycontin was suggested and that was a God send. Now this new OP Oxycontin makes me sick and does not relieve any pain at all. I wish I can just do something, anything, to make my life a little more bearable. I will admit, I DO NOT KNOW A LOT about this formula but I know enough to tell you that I feel horrible (like I have to throw up), am dehydrated, and am in agony with my pain. I hope something is done about this. Please call or write to Purdue (1-800-599-6070) & call the FDA (1-800-332-1088). I think something can be done with enough complaints. Well I hope.

I have been taking the 40mg and have been sick to my stomach and my ears have been ringign horribly, i had no idea what was causing it i thought i had some sort of ear infection and stomach flu. I have vomited and am going through withdrawals as these new pills take two hours to have any effect and last only 3 to 4 hrs. I have seen these things come out when i vomit and they looke like some kind of styrofoam ball covered with flem. I decided to look up if anyone else had like symptoms and see there are many, i thought i was crzy. It's 3am and i can't find any relief i took one 4 hrs ago and it has worn off .

You can't be serious!!! The new formula does not work even half as well. I have to take twice as much more times a day & I still hurt all of the time!! I actually have severe pain. Some mornings I can't even stand up out of the bed.The old OC allowed me to function more normally. Something you need to know is that just because you can take the new OC, doesn't mean that everyone else is giving misinformation! These people may be like me & actually need a strong pain med. to live through the pain! You must not or you would know how we feel!!!!!

New oxycontin

Avatar Posted by RPW at Aug 31, 2010 12:42 PM
I've been on oxycontin for 3 years now due to multiple slipped discs in my neck and back from a work injury. I have recently gotten this new "formula" and am not happy with it, to say the least! This new formula takes what seems like three to four hours to work. By that time I've taken a second dose, in an attempt to get the same relief from one dose of the old formula, and get very little relief. Which creates two problems. First, being in more pain due to the less effective formula. Second, running out of my precription early, due to the need of additional doses, which looks bad to your doctor when you have to refill early. This just all around SUCKS!!!! If drug addicts want something to shoot, or smoke, they buy heroin, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than oxycontin. This new formula will due two things for sure, increase heroin sales and overdose deaths, and make life that much more unbareable for the people who are in severe pain.

I have the new 20's they seem to not release very well and I have serious constipation. Much worse than before. My system had adapted and I was able to deal with the side effects plus my pain was under control while maintaing a productive life. Now this... Little pain relief, very constipated and not wanting to have to adjust again.

I will call purdue tomorrow and my doc and ask what we should do...I do not want to take a pill that seems to only make me constipated, plus if you take more than required to get relief you run into other issues. I imagine that the substance in the pill is now in my gut and my gut can't break it down. Then the pill gets into the intestines? Does the medicine extract in the upper intestine or does it only come out in the stomach

The new pills seem very similar to the old generic TEVA brand - and those were real crap

He is talking about using a hose clamp to shave the OC into a powder like a cheese grader but the new formula will turn into a jelly when snorted so you will have OC snot instead of it being inhaled or injected. Thank god for me. I have been fighting a battle with this shit since 06. I know that ultimately it will take my willpower to quit but this is great news for me. Some of my fellow addicts turn to Heroin but thankfully I have never.

Hey just wanted to let your know that the new Oxycontin can not be shaved. I had a new abuse proof Oc80 and tried shaving it for 25 minutes. got a 10 mg bump and it gells up in your nose.

Oxycontin medication

Avatar Posted by Rob at Aug 31, 2010 12:42 PM
I have liver cancer and the only medicine that helped me was Oxycontin. Today I went as I always so to pick up my prescription of the medicine and saw that the pill had changed form and scratched my head. So not thinking much of it I told my normal dose and waited for the pain to subside. Well it has not and this has been hours now. So in reading these latest articles online I see that the medicine has not only changed its looks but has changed the way it works. I do not understand why a company that is supposed to be helping people with chronic and acute pain would do something like this. It had already changed the medicine once before making it less potent due to people abusing the medicine before and now it has folded under pressure again. Hell I might as well just go and buy some Advil I wished at least they would have lowered the price of the 900 dollar a month medication, it’s doubtful that they will do that. I sure wish I could open up my own pharmaceutical company to create medicines that help people deal with cancer and other debilitating illnesses. I hope that the Purdue Manufacturing company loses billions from this move I saw where they lost over 600 million in a law suit earlier perhaps this was some of their motivation for doing this? It’s a crying shame we live in a country that bows to pier pressure when people are in need of real assistance from the medical community. What a shame

All the private drug vendors are already talking about the big transition to heroine instead of oxy's. This is quite the epic fail for the FDA, and purdue.

And as previously stated, your right - we will get high if we want, nothing is going to stop us, as far as were concerned it's our right to do what we want with our bodies and we see it as oppression of civil rights to be told any different.

And, us kids are getting smarter, you know.

If it's anything that history has taught us about prohibition, it's that it doesn't work.

But, whatever toots your horn.

Chemists are a dollar a dozen these days.

new formula oxycontin

Avatar Posted by Ali at Sep 02, 2010 03:42 PM
I've been prescribed 8o mg's of oxycontin, my most recent refill was the new formula, can anyone tell me if they feel the drug works the same as the old formula. I don't feel I get the pain releif I use to get from the old formula. Does anyone else feel the same way. Are you getting pain relief from the new formula. I'm not talking about snoting or chewing these pills. I need to know if it's just me or are there others who feel the same way. Also are they going to be changing the 40's and the 60's to the new formula. I need some answer's. The old formula worked great these new ones work like the generic ones, did. I don't feel they work the same. Can anyone help me with some answer's.

I really agree with you as being "newer" to this situation. I have been taking oxycontin 20's and they totally suck! I don't feel the effect of taking the pill, orally, as they say it will release throughout the day and I really don't notice the difference anymore

Avatar Posted by Veckel at Sep 07, 2010 04:42 PM
just wanted to say, yah, the 20's and 40's are made the same "new" way. I take 100mg every 8 hours and no, they do not work as well. Kinda remind me of the old generic "football" oxy's. Good idea for purdue to try and make oxy abuse proof, but this does not work. Won't work for the abusers, read these posts, and does not work for those of us who truly need the medicine!

Avatar Posted by Scarlett at Sep 07, 2010 04:42 PM
The FDA considers the new formulation to be so similar to the old one that they did not require Purdue to file any new studies or anything to have the drug approved. As of the middle of September, ALL STRENGTHS OF OXYCONTIN WILL BE THE NEW FORMULATION. I do not mean that Purdue will start selling the new formulation only. I mean that all that is being produced is the new formulation, all pharmaceutical warehouses and pharmacies will stock will be the new formulation. Pharmaceutical warehouses and pharmacies that still have the old drug come the middle of the month -- I believe 13 September is the cutoff, but I'm not positive; it's thereabouts -- are required to send the old formulation back to Purdue, and will have it replaced with the new formulation. There will be no legal recourse to get the original formulation of these medications in the very near future.

THE NEW OXYCONTIN EXTREMELY BAD. I AM AN OFF AND ON ADDICT TO OXYCONTIN AND THIS NEW PILL IS HORRIBLE. FOR STARTERS WHAT THE F.D.A. AND PURDUE PHARMA IS DOING IS CREATING A GENERATION OF HEROIN ADDICTS. NOW THAT PEOPLE CANNOT GET THE OLD O.C. EVERYONE IS TURNING TO HEROIN AND IS THAT REALLY FIXING ANY PROBLEMS? DOES THE F.D.A. THINK ITS BETTER FOR PEOPLE TO DO HEROIN OVER O.C.? I MEAN , O.C. WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM BUT NOW THERES GOING TO BE MANY MORE HEROIN ADDICTS ON THE STREET AND LIVING IN THE SLUMS. IN ACTUALITY WHAT THE F.D.A AND PURDUE HAS CAUSED IS AN EPIDEMIC OF OPIATE ABUSERS TO RESORT TO OTHER CHOICES WHICH ARE WAY WORSE THAN ABUSING A SIMPLE LITTLE PILL. IM SURE I SPEAK FOR OVER A MILLION PLUS PEOPLE WHEN I SAY "BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL O.C. AND KEEP US FROM MAKING THE CHOICE OF HEROIN". I CAN PROMISE THAT WITHIN 2 MONTHS THE HEROIN USE FOR ADULTS AND KIDS IS GOING TO SKYROCKET INTO LEVELS WAY BEYOND ANYONES IMAGINATION, AND WHO DO WE HAVE TO THANK? F.D.A? PURDUE? GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS? ALL OF THE ABOVE.

I take oxycontin for chronic pain. I am reliant on this medication for my quality of life. Without it I would be in too much pain to do anything. I saw on my prescription that my medication is of the new formula. I had not idea what this meant until the second day of starting my new medication. This medication does not work. I think that it is going through my system before it dissolves. I gather this from reading all of your guy's posts. Should I have my doctor put me back on the fentanyl patch? I hate to go back to that because it was hell coming off if it, but I need my medication to work! I have five kids and I work and can't do these things in pain. Help!

Avatar Posted by Mark at Sep 20, 2010 09:28 AM
It is just by chance that I happened upon this site tonight because I was actually looking for "long term effects" thinking it was just me. What I mean by this is I was not made aware of any changes in the drugs recently, so when I started "not feeling right" for the last 2 weeks I actually started thinking OK well maybe I have been taking this drug too long and I was going through some kind of withdrawl because the dose had just quit working as well. I have been up to the maximum dose of 2 x 80mgs 2x a day for about 3 years. Started on Pain Meds 10 years ago and had increased every few years as needed. I have always taken as prescribed orally quite frankly because I was afraid that if I began crushing, shaving, or snorting it to get relief I would, in my mind, be abusing the drug and not be taking pills to manage my pains. Please do not take any of this the wrong way, if people do this to the medication to get the necessary relief they need then that is fine with me. I have had plenty of those days where even the high dose I am on does not work. But I tell you this, and those of you who regularly take this medicine will know what I mean, last week I started feeling different. My body was telling me something. I actually thought on one day that I might have missed a dose. I thought maybe I was comming down with a cold. I wake up feeling like I need to take my dose right away when I normally didnt take it until 7 or 8. I honestly feel like I am having withdrawl symtoms. Not major ones but the kind you get when you have not taken your 2nd daily dose and its 5 hours past. I have felt like this alot in the last 2 weeks....I guess after all of my rambling, How do we know if we are maybe one of the "6 out of 100"? I mean how do you go to your pharmacist or Doctor and say "hey is there something different here? because something is wrong."??? or is this a coincidence (in my case)and yes after you take the max dose for 3-4 years your body is just not reacting to the medicine like it once did and I am feeling withdrawl because my tolerance has reached a point where, for a lack of a better terms, it just needs more or wants more.
I would like to hear if anyone else has reached this point and might even be expierencing this same feeling of withdrawl. Before they changed the drug even.

This is a joke drugs have been abused for centuries and it won't stop the new formula just hurts the people in real pain. All the people complaining about abuse are fortunate enough to not be in pain. This country controls too much of the drug market as it is. The only real problem is the pharmaceutical companies are making too much money and they have congress in their pockets. Lets control political contributions, not pain killers and prescription drugs.

LISTEN TO ME NOW, I have been on the old formula for the past 6 months from a car accident. I have been on the new formula for the past 3 weeks. I have never snorted my pills, always taken them orally swallowed whole. And guess what. They work better. They take about 2 hours to be fully strong instead of one, but they last 6-7 hours instead of three. All you people that are complaining about the new formula are obviously snorted them. When taken as directed they are better, so shut up with your complaining, you're the reason the formula was changed in the first place. Go shoot Heroin if you want that rush, you've already fucked it up for Oxy and given it this stupid stigma that makes it harder to get now. LOL at those that cant snort it now, Im high off new oxy's right now.

Read every one of these comment people that swallow the pill and have never abused are complaining and some are actually having withdrawals..These NEW OXYCONTIN SUCK!! I think percocets are stronger than these! We need to complain until we get the old ones back, complain to your doctor, pharmacey and call Purdue and complain..don't stop complaining till we get the new ones back. I'm gonna ask my doctor to write my script out for the old ones and then go from there!

FYI - the new oxy formula does NOT give a high feeling. The formula was created to prevent abuse and to release the medication at low dose over a 12 hour period. It does work for pain relief.

So, here I am a Vet with severe injuries... and can tell you the OC P doesn't work.. well, it kinda does.. but I do not get the same pain relieve that I use to get.. hence.. I have to double up.. THIS IS NOT GOOD. Why the hell would they re-formulate without testing the efficacy? If they had.. they would have realized - It doesn't work. So... PURDUE SWITCHED to satisfy the Government - THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE... and it SUCKS !

please read and be educated before you dispense misinformation to everyone

Avatar Posted by goldfinger at Sep 21, 2010 02:00 PM
Hi,
to all of you who say that the new medication does not work, it is only because the new medication is designed to release it's active ingredients over a 24 hour period in your body, instead of the old formula which used to release the active ingredients over a 12 hour period. Also the peak plasma level for the new formulation won't be reached until about 5-6 hours after orally taking your dose, where as the with the old OC's the peak plasma levels were usually attained within 3 hours of taking your dose orally, so the new ones will take almost twice as long as the old ones before they reach the concentration levels in your blood. And even when they do reach their peak level it will not "feel" the same because of the new formulation taking 24 hours to release the active ingredients as opposed to the old 12 hours.
Now the new ones can still be abused as the FDA noted by simply taking more than prescribed. so they are not completely abuse proof.
also this is my own two cents but they had to change the new formulation to release over a 24 hour period because of all the extra gooey plastic crap they had to embed in the new formulation so that abusers could not snort/inject the pill. But they have already found ways in which to get around this new formulation too. There are plenty of people who are simple dropping whatever dose they want to abuse in a half glass of water, letting it sit overnight for at least 24 hours. As the medication is designed to release it's active ingredients in water, the next day they remove the pills and drown the water which at that point has all the active ingredients from the pills that were soaked overnight and that entire dose will get metabolized in your system right away.

I guess the FDA could remove it completely from the shelves, and then we weould not have this problem. You could take heroin or morhpine or any other street drug to relieve you pain. I also guess rules and regulations are to be broken. They do not matter. We should become like China and have no regulation on drugs that are manufactured, and hopefully we are acutally getting the drug we are supplied...

I here you,Don't you wish that Perdue Pharma Would listen,and understand that this problem with some people and Doctor's that are abusing the Med,Oxycontin should not be our Punishment with this so called new Tamper Proof Pill.Now we are suffering again,It is a Job for Law Enforcement to weed out the Doctors(you know the fly by night ones and there so called patients)and stop with this game they are playing with our Medically necessary way of life.I think that it high time for the Gov Agencies to do there Job,You know the way they do with cocaine,Meth,Crack,and now the real street Heroin that is so dangerous,I believe that the street Heroin that The addicts do,will now become an epidemic that is going to start killing these young kids,I call them because I am 50 Yrs old and they do not mature as fast as we did in our generation,and also a lot of this problem is caused by Parents that do not monitor their children,you know the ones that think that their kid could do no wrong.Well although they are to high classed to admit there could be a problem in their Home,It just wouldn't look to good to their social lives,so they turn there heads and look the other way.And when it becomes so bad things start disappearing and there bank accounts start going down,Well what do they expect?I have children up to 39 Yrs old,and I also have grandchildren so I keep my Meds under lock and key,Not because I think they would steal them but because I love them and wouldn't want them to accidentally get a hold of them.But that is the way any responsible person should go about it.I still cant help but think that there is another alterior motive for this change,and the Gov has to be involved in it,but of course they are ,because they let this Company get away with putting all of these devastating chemicals in the new formula,what in the world was any of these people involved in this change thinking,when they made and passed this change.It's really unbelievable our own Gov would do us this way,What or who is going to be there for the cancer patients that have it to come back because of the car cenegenics that are in this formula,and what is it going to do to our arteries become clogged up because of the Chem's that are in this new formula.Someone had to have gotten a big hush money Check to let this pass the FDA standards,And now they are going to have to investigate themselves to find out how many people are involved in passing this unbelievable dangerous Chemical Change,Yes just like SmokinBully said we have to stand up for ourselves and do something about this,We know it's all about Money so There is a lot of hiding the real facts about this deal,yes that is all it is to them just another deal.Well as hard as it is out here in our country,now we have to watch more jobs disappear,because of the ones who will not be able to work anymore and the small pharmacies that are going to go out of Buss,our Almighty Pres that is all about change is surely living up to his words isn't he,We've changed alright,This country is becoming what acts like a prostitute(no offense)Because I would Imagine that prostitution is booming now,there is no housing for our people,no jobs for our people But it is amazing how much we have for (like Pres Obama said he will help most all nations that need it )Well we know that all nations need help!!!But what about us ,look at the poverty level in every state in this country and tell me if we need help/Well who is going to help us!!!These are just a tiny portion of what is wrong,We all know that this change has been all about Money!!!!!!!!And we are really sick of having our the Gov insulting our intelligence.And listen all of you people putting in your 2 cents worth in about medication that we need to live a normal life!!!If you people wont to do something to help this Nation,then get busy helping the Homeless and the hungry,and all these poor children,If you all people worried as much about all that like you do this little pill this nation could But I would bet you want nothing to do with that,you might get your hands dirty and that would put you right in there with all these mighty people in power!!!Well guess what I'll bet all this Change is going to really Change come Election time.Well I'm going to do my part and call FDA and make a complaint and ask for a form to be mailed to me to fill out,that is just one step ,but one leads to another!!Thanks for listening weather you liked it or not.

oxycontin reformulation

 i have been taking oxycontin for over 2 years with very excellent results. i have been trying to keep from having to have surgery on my back.the new formulation however is absolutly terrible.it does not i repeat does not worki as effectively as the old formula.I was taking 2 40 mg tablets 3 times a day and now i cant even get out of pain taking 60mgs 2 times a day. this new formula sucks i will be changing to methadone or to immediate release 30mg oxycontin tablets. they {PURDUE} has ruined a very effective medication to satisfy the complaints of a small group. if you are a person considering taking this new formulation i would say take a different type of medication this new formula is worthless and ineffective to say the least.

I work in a pharmacy, and I am sorry for all the addicts or the enablers of addicts, but this has to stop somewhere. Why should honest patients who are really in pain (cancer patients) have to suffer from patients who are "allergic" to the new formulation. It is the exact same medication as the old formulation, except the "remoxy". Also it just came out so how can you be "allgeric" to something that you have not taken before. I also find it funny that before, paitents were "allergic" to the generic, and now with this reformulation, patients are not longer "allergic". I agree with "Not Serious" about false claims. People who are on medicaid and can afford $1000 for Brand Oxycontin are not in pain. I have seen people in pain and they can barely afford the couple dollar copays of SSI.
So doctors and pharmacies should not be liable to give drug addicts drugs, let them buy them on the streets and god-forbid they do not die. It was their choice to become an addict in the first place, and not get help. They are people who we should not have to worry about. Honestly the people who are actually ill deserve my attention more than drug abusers.

New formula

Avatar Posted by T.G at Sep 29, 2010 09:10 AM
Actually the people who take this medication for legitimate pain are not drug addicts, we do however become physically dependant on this medication..There is a big difference..an addict is one who seeks out and purposely misused a drug. Physical dependence is when your body becomes dependant on the medication even if it were taken directed by your Dr...I was a paratrooper in the Army and I broke my back and tore the tendons in my hip..After 4 surgeries, one of which was botched by the Dr.(she maligned the t-lift cage, causing it to compress my sciatic nerve) I have had to take oxycontin, I have been taking it for six years now, I am on a rather large dose 80mg X4 twice daily...this medication has helped me live at a tolerable level and work full time as a biomedical engineer to support my family. This new formula is definitely not as effective as the old..I called purdue and they seemed sympathetic, but did not have any answers...

Perspective...

Avatar Posted by Ken at Sep 27, 2010 09:58 AM
I am a pharmacist, ex-drug abuser and I live in chronic pain from breaking my back 9 years ago on a motorcycle...So I see the perspective from every angle....The truth is addiction is a disease and can't be helped buy the user easily. Also a drug abuser will just find a new way to get high, with probablly dirtier drugs...Americans are like a sheltered christian little girl, they don't see the killing, drugs, wars etc etc....We live in lala land over here....Everywhere else in the world is so far ahead of us it's not funny...Europe already tried a war on drugs, it didn't work, so they tried something new, and now it does work...you'd figure we be smart and adopt their ways like we did taxes, but nooooo, we think we know it all...Well when China takes over, (because china now makes everything in the world, look it up, it's a fact) they will have all the money and all the power as well as 1/4 the worlds population, and America is no longer the world dominant, maybe they will take over our land and SAVE US FROM OURSELVES! Cause we are stupid to put people in power that make these ridiculous FDA and DEA decisions!

Avatar Posted by Eire at Nov 04, 2010 02:42 PM
You may work in a pharmacy but to first address you statement regarding, "patients who are really in pain (cancer patients)." I find it hard to believe any person working, in any capacity, in a pharmacy would have such a vague and narrow knowledge base when it comes to pain, that you would include only "cancer patients." The psychology of pain is hugely debatable. Pain is unique to the person perceiving it. I would agree that claims of unproven "allergies" can raise question, but the excuse may be fear driven. Information available claims harmful additives in the new oxy. Not to say this is the case for all, but a person in your position she be curious, not assuming. Generics can have a marginal, allowable, difference in potency. How do you decide who the "drug addicts" are? You see they are covered by SSI and flag them as an addict?
How can you work in any field related to medications and not understand the disease of addiction? No human being deserves to be cast away even if they are addicted. Oxycontin made a lot of false claims upon being marketed. Many now face addiction they were unprepared for. The drug is not necessarily evil, but its marketers should be held accountable.
Oxycontin is a remarkable drug that can allow those in pain to function again. To self determine who is worthy of helping, and who is not, says more about you, since you are not an addict, I'm assuming. The lack of knowledge, with people who service pain sufferers, astounds me. The conclusions they jump to, to villify a particular drug, is disheartening.

Not caring about addicts?

Avatar Posted by Michael at Nov 28, 2011 11:37 AM
I find it very disturbing that you feel that people make a "choice to become an addict in the first place". Who, do you imagine, would in their right mind make such a choice? Whether you agree or not, addiction is a disease. Addicts are miserably sick individuals and this disease is pandemic in this country; indeed, throughout the world. It disturbs me further that you work in a pharmacy and display such a lack of understanding of the nature of addiction. I only hope that you are merely a tech...Do you really feel that addicts "are people who we should not have to worry about"??? You claim that individuals who are "actually ill deserve (your) attention more than drug abusers". Drug abusers are, in fact, quite seriously ill people who deserve your attention more than most, given that you work in a pharmacy. Do your customers a favor and educate yourself; your attitude is not only offensive, but harmful. Oh, by the way, I think tomorrow I'll wake up and "choose" to have cancer...

Does anyone know how much research was done with this new additive? Are there any guidelines for precautions or patients that should not be given this new version?

Oxycontin Reformulation

Avatar Posted by Katie at Oct 05, 2010 09:14 AM
Has anyone else noticed that the new Oxy formulation may not be as effective for pain management as the old formula? I have chronic back pain due to having mangled L4-L5 and L5-S1 discs. I have had pretty good luck managing my pain over the last few years with the old formula, but recently I have noticed that it seems like my pain is getting either much worse, or the meds aren,t as effective anymore. I asked the Pharmacist about the new shaped Oxycontin tab because I was suspecting that it came from a different manufacturer, only to find out that it had been "reformulated". I'm really worried because I can hardly stand my pain, and the old formula has worked so well for me up until now, I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced a decrease in efficacy?

To john post sep 20 your 100% right I was in Amsterdam back in 1980 and even then hash was legal to sell on the streets and hereon was legal to have in your own home there was no violent crime look at our own country the gangs started forming after the dea was put in place in the late 70's gangs learned there was big money in the drug trade so they started having turf war to control who sold drugs in there section of town then the dea got more violent the gangs got more violent we didn't have drive by shootings before the DEA or the drug war which we are losing the money that is spent trying to keep drugs out of the country could pay for health insurance for the whole country and by the way if you wanted to get off drugs you better be rich because in most state as in NC there are no treatment clinics to help you the founding fathers of our country did not want our government to protect us from ourselves we have lost the drug war and the money we are spending could pay for your grandmothers health care proabition should have taught us this the drug war is on our own son’s brother’s father’s , ect.The more violent the cops get the more guns the gangs get and then our government criticizes Canada and other country who are trying a different approach to the drug war and it’s working most user’s will work there buts off to maintain their addiction they don’t want to steal to survive Canada has clinics were user’s can come in and get a clean needle and talk to a nurse about proper vein care and there thinking of legalizing some drug in some way to see if it will work better then to kill everyone or lock them up the cost to this country keeping nonviolent drug offenders in jail is crazy and are answer is to build more jails it didn’t work during probation and isn’t working now. Like you said john they don’t have the crime rate in Amsterdam like we do their war on drugs has been working since the 70’s but this country condemns them and Canada and anyone else who tries something different. We protest a war on a terrorist country that wanted to destroy this country but say nothing about the war on our own streets violence will bring more violence things need to change so innocent people like myself and my father and your mother can get health care they deserve instead of throwing that money in a war the government has already lost there are alternatives

Your comment that the "drig addicate has a choice a cronic pain sufferer dose not". First of all, is English your first language? If so, please learn how to spell. Your ignorance of the correct spelling of English words belies your further ignorance that addicts make a choice to become so...do you imagine that cancer patients make a similar choice? Like it or not, addiction is a disease and has nothing to do with choice. It is a miserable existence. If you read as well as you spell, I doubt this makes sense to you, but your ignorance had to be responded to...

New Oxycontin

Avatar Posted by Julie at Oct 12, 2010 10:05 AM
I have used Oxycontin for years for the management of chronic pain.
I has been a Godsend to me and I always feel annoyed when various groups
seek to have it taken off the market. I personally do not care what drug
addicts do with Oxycontin. All I know is that there are hundreds of thousands
of people like me who rely on it for pain management--so when someone attempts
to remove a drug like Oxycontin from the legitimate market, they should worry
about what will happen if they legitimately need the drug themselves. Not all
Oxycontin users are drug addicts. I know many people like myself who use it
legitimately and need it disparately.

Regarding the NEW FORMULA . . . I have found it to be just as effective in
managing my pain as the old formula. If this change in formula actually protects
Oxycontin's right to exist in pharmacies then I applaud the change.

I seriously don't understand all the complaints, what is the "BIG DEAl". The pain medicine strength of Oxycotin is the same, depending on the mg you take. The only different and the ones making a "BIG DEAL" over the new formula must be the sniffers. Yes, you know who you are! The ones that can't wait to start crushing and setting up the rails, Yes you know who you are, To me you are the true abuser. If you take your meds as prescribe thru the mouth you shouldn't have a problem. With that being said its time you look real hard in the mirror and do something about it.

Oxycontin op = cancer

Avatar Posted by Ronald99 at Nov 08, 2010 03:59 PM
Im on Topix under Contact the FDA and let your voices be heard, This new OP med is bad and iv taken Oxycontin over ten years and the dosage has increased over the years, The new OP drug the first few hours the headaches started and then my stomach started hurting for hours and i was releasing gas and alot of lower bowel problems and pain.
The op meds did not release the same as the OC has for years and i would find small flat remains of the pills in the toilet, Almost like a paper type fiber these pills are cancer waiting to happen and the people that allowed this to happen does not have severe pain or any knowledge of what a person in pain fills.

The OC meds need to come back and everyone needs to keep calling Purdue and tell them your fears and the truth what these op pills have done to your health, and if there helping the pain like before, What purdue did was say everyone that takes oxycontin pills are junkies and this is what were going to do to you. Purdue hooked all of us on these meds and because they were not 12 hour meds we had to go up on the dosage and take more until the doctors dont fill a person needs that much meds in there system.
  Purdue knew what they were doing and now that people are addicted to there meds and the meds wont control the pain as they did years ago this is there answer to slowly get people to stop taking the Oxycontin and switch to another med, and the Lawsuits will go away.

Purdue the lawsuits are just geeting started after this stunt you guys pulled forcing these OP meds upon us and causing all the health problems were going thru.The Junkies will abuse whatever they want and can, But Purdue what you did to the People that the Meds were helping was wrong and i hope people go to jail over this,You once had a great product now you have a product that will cause people to get cancer and other health problems,just because a few junkies died now you want to kill off everyone that depended on this for relief.

New Oxycontin Formulation - FDA Approval???

Avatar Posted by Clemantine at Nov 10, 2010 09:41 AM
I just received my first batch of the new OP formulation and too noticed a different onset of action and side effects from the new drug.. Where are the safety and efficacy tests that need to be done on new drugs? Remoxy is a new drug and needs to be tested for safey and efficacy just as any other drug on the market.

My bigger issue is that FDA approved this new drug with less testing and is sitting on other more needed drugs such as Telepravir for HCV. Patients with Hepatitis C have been waiting for new treatments for more than 20 years and FDA has done nothing other than approve interferon and interferon with antifreeze (PEG) and ribavirin. Yet, we see a new Oxycontin formulation with a new drug Remoxy approved with less testing done for safety and efficacy.

Contact the FDA, Purdue and your lawyer for a class action suit on the new formulation, it does not work (efficacy) and is not safe (has new side effects on GI and headaches and God knows what else).

The old oxy used to work great for me. Chronic pain for years...last year my dr prescribed me lowest dosage and it has helped me so much. I do not abuse them and actually should probably take more rather than suffer...I have never crushed or chewed or what ever ppl do with em to get high. Now I get a migraine EVERY TIME I take one. I have already stopped using them. I guess I am one of the really sensitive ppl tho...I can not drink any alcoholic beverages either...guaranteed migraine...NO THANK YOU!

Oxycontin Nightmare/Pain

Avatar Posted by Tasha at Oct 27, 2010 04:32 PM
I've taken Oxycontin 80mg for about 10 years for a medical cond. & for past few "Weeks" I've had awful Stomach Cramps & I 1st thought I had a stomach bug but no-one else in my family had it & I even thought my IBS had come back after it's been years that it hadn't bothered me & my life wasn't any different nothing close to make me feel this BAD & then about a week ago I ran into a friend & I was telling them I hadn't been out much at all because I hadn't been feeling good & they told me about the Oxycontin change & other ppl were also having similar problems,so I came home & looked at my Rx's & sure enough they were different from the Reg ones I had taken for many years,which made sense seeing it had been about a month I PU my last RX & I honestly have pretty much been bedridden & feeling sicker than ever & the"Only Change" has been the RX & I Hope the Drug Co. dose something SOON to "Fix It",why should I have to Suffer because some ppl abuse certain Rx's & I'm Sorry but IMO from how I've felt when taking certain Rx's that Claim "They are No Different & made the Same",I beg to differ seeing I have had reactions to some & the only way I'd believe that would be if I was a Chemist & could Ck all the Ingredients Myself,which I cannot but my body can tell & right Now I'm NOT feeling good & I think it was a shame to change the Oxycontin's,did they stop making Meth after they stopped selling Sudafed & any other Illegal drugs out there,IMO an addict will figure a way to get what they want/need but I've Never shot up anything I use my Rx for My Pain & Now I feel WORSE because some ppl are not using them correctly & I Totally Agree -W- another poster that I too believe some ppl would goto using Heroin & I have met few ppl over the years who had used or been addicted to Heroin & from what they told me I wouldn't wish that on Anyone & if Kids started using Street Heroin not knowing the Danger in that I think there's a good chance we see a jump in OD's..

Now I took 2 jelly bellys and it made me throw up and have headaches. Therefore I am not taking something that makes it worse. I also take metadone but it really don't do much 4 my pain but u built up a tolerence so quick it is unbelievable.Does anyone have suggestions for my jelly belly remedy. I have called Purdue Pharma already. OF course it is the same and all that malarkey.It made them billions and now there stocks will plummit and they will have to do something, Write back if u care about a chubby white boy in Alabama in his mid 30's.

I have been in pain for 7 years with Fibro and migraines associated. It was a GOD SEND when my dr. prescribed me lowest dosage of Oxycontin to take as needed which was every other day or three. Now EVERY TIME I take one I get a HORRIBLE migraine!

I do not nor have I ever crushed them or chewed them or what ever else people do with them. I have already discontinued use of them...I am terrified of migraines. I cant drink either...I get a migraine every time. Sucks...but I understand why they did it.

Migraine/Cluster head aches and New OP Formular

Avatar Posted by Doctor Painless at Nov 22, 2010 09:41 AM
hey officially complain. We Doctors are also feeling the massive indirect pressure to "back-off" on this issue and this is why some of us have decided to act and reflect back this pressure to the FDA, in a way tI'm a Doctor and have recently demanded that Purdue, as well as the FDA, take serious interest in near epidemic of patient complaints directly attributed to the new Oxycontin formula.

Extreme Migraine/Cluster attacks seem to be directly triggered by this new medication. One would caution people of this, especially if you have prior history of Migraines.

The vast majority patients can not take this new "OP" oxycontin, many of these are long time, trusted chronic pain patients who have never had problems with the original formula.

Sadly, it seems that FDA is circumventing the seriousness of this issue by promoting an atmosphere of "abuse" to those who dare complain of their real intolerance and health concerns over this medication. How do I make such a claim? Form direct conversations with very frightened patients, who truly feel they are being "flagged" after that they can not threaten us further with our medical licenses.

Please people, understand that some of us in "official" capacity are very aware of this new oxycontin atrocity and we are doing everything we can to stop Purdue and the FDA from using intimidation tactics and treating patients like UFO abductees/junkies, simply because you are really getting deathly sick from this new formula.

One last thing, anytime you read that a new medication was "fast tracked" or "emergency implemented" or "Bioequivalent"; be extremely wary or avoid it fully. We do not even supposed to call a "bioequivalent medication" as new or could face legal issues/board inquiries.... all their way of controlling and keeping true caring Doctors "in-line". I for one can no longer watch my patients suffer for their greed.

I'm sorry some of us can not act faster or more openly to fight this new poisonous medication.

IMPORTANT NOTE to CPP's who are having extreme reactions from the new "OP" formula (especially migraines head aches) and have no other option due to the old "OC" formula Politely ask your Doctor about EXALGO but only if you are a opiate tolerate chronic pain patient (CPP).
 

Oxycontin new formula

Avatar Posted by Jules at Nov 29, 2010 10:01 AM
In November I received the new formulated 20mg Oxycontin. I have been taking 20mg in the AM and 40mg in the PM. I did see a bunch of people complaining about the product not working. I do find it works the same as the other formula with the exception that I start to feel uncomfortable and the pain becomes much more aggravating about 2-3 hours prior to the next does which I didn't find with the original formula. I usually end up on the couch for a couple of hours prior to the dose and about an hour after. Anyone else finding it just doesn't last as long?

Their efforts were for nothing but slowing Down drug abbusers. It only took them so long for them to find a way to take out the time
 Release (remoxy) using a microwave a freezer. Drug abysses will always find a way and all they did was slow them down.but you can never stop it. Honestly they are losing so much money from this remoxy for pretty much nothing considering they are still snortable with a little tlc. It'll be no time before the old ones are back.

Avatar Posted by JohnDoe at Jan 12, 2011 11:40 AM
as a long time legit oxycontin user ( legit i may add, in 1989 i was struck by a car as a pedestrian, and as a result ive had 3 major back ops, right arm severed and reattached, left arm artificial bones, 2 left shoulder surgeries, facial surgery,ect) the problem ive run into ( as well as literally hundreds of thousands of others who take it legitimately) is that the new "reformulation" not only doesnt work nearly as well on pain as the prior formulation, it also causes a whole other slew of problems such as a much higher rate of constipation, severe nausia and other symptoms that most other oxy patients only experienced in small amounts before. my dr has gotten comlaints from nearly ALL of his patients who take oxycntin, and even stopped perscribing it and switched all of his patients over to opana ER and opana IR. works as well, without the side effects of the new formulation. perdue needs to wake up and switch back to the old formula before they get another class action lawsuit.

Alcohol has killed and maimed more people in one year than Oxy has across the board. Add tobacco to it watch the numbers rise. Alot of my health concerns relate directly to both and I was the victum. I didn't choose the person who nearly killed me that night crushing me in my car leaving me to die! Married only a few monthes.
The same people who sob for these addicts walk a wide circle around them in real life don't kid yourself!!!

The prices vary but i know that in Colorado it's roughly $1 a milligram and in wyoming it's roughlt $1.25 a milligram because 40's cost a brisk $50.

New Oxy Formula

Avatar Posted by TMG at Nov 14, 2011 04:02 PM
First of all...To any of you that have felt the need to comment in this thread and denigrate the poor people like myself, that suffer from horrible chronic pain you can all go fu*k yourselves. Had to get that off of my chest.

You have no idea what it's like living your day to day lives in a state where all you can think about is how much you wish that you felt like a normal human being and the hurt would just go away. I suffer from Fibromyalgia (Diagnosed by one of the only actual specialists in the city where I live) as well as having degenerative disk disease, arthritis in my spine, an L5/S1 Disk issue that is basically crushing my sciatic nerve and adjustment only provides very temporary relief. On the 1-10 scale I am never less than a 7 in intensity and because of the Fibro I am generally in the 9 area of overall body coverage of pain.

These drugs are a necessity for us to have something even remotely resembling a normal life. I was raised to believe that everyone works and if you don't work you are a leech on society. Until a month ago, despite all of my health issues, I continued to work and that is only because I live in Canada and we haven't been subjected to the change in oxy formula yet but it is coming early next year apparently. The oxy has allowed me to combat my pain to the point where I am not pain free but I am at least in a state where I can focus enough to work part time and earn enough money to supplement what my wife makes so that we can live comfortably. Now, a little under a month ago I lost my job and it's been very difficult finding a new one that accommodates my special needs but I am looking and I intend on continuing to work but if this new formula is as bad as everyone is saying then it appears that my working days may be numbered and the thought of that makes me sick. Currently I am not taking oxy as every once in a while I will switch off to Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) for a couple of months just to get my body somewhat changing gears so that when I go back to the oxy my tolerance has been a little knocked down. It's always a battle though because here in Canada the government is scaring doctors shyteless with their new policies/guidelines regarding prescribing oxy. Deb Mathews, who holds the government portfolio Minister of Health, is a clueless twat and is going out of her way to harm the lives of people who suffer from chronic and debilitating pain. I highly doubt that she is doing this on purpose but rather is doing it out of sheer stupidity. She was appointed to that post, Minister of Health, while having absolutely no experience or background in medicine or health services. That's absolutely ridiculous Explain to me how that makes any sense? The bottom line is that chronic pain sufferers do not abuse these medications and they do not re-direct them. The government needs to be looking other places to solve the problems. What they are doing now is not the answer. The drug companies messing with the formulas because of pressure from the government is doing nothing but harming the people that the medications were created to help in the first place.

Oxy Abuse

Avatar Posted by Zacharie at Nov 23, 2011 10:38 AM
I find everyone's comments about OXY abuse to be very interesting. I personally have tried OXY recreationally and its not for me. Unfortunately roughly 10-15 of my close friends don't agree with that assessment. The suburb I'm from is roughly 90% and one of the wealthiest counties in the country. OXY is a HUGE deal there, you have a mass of high school kids who are bored as fuck and rich as fuck trying to get high and OXY is clean and effective. With this new formula though the switch to Heroine has been minimal from what I've seen. For those who can afford it ROXY's have replaced OXY's because ROXY's can be snorted or smoked. I don't believe the new formula is causing a rise in heroin abuse, it's causing a rise in ROXY abuse. The people I've seen switch to heroin haven't been because of the new formula, it's been because they run out of money. With OXY at a $1 a milligram its far to pricey in the denver area and when you get low on cash you get heroin because it's cheaper, not because pills aren't as effective. Just my opinion though based on the WIDESPREAD abuse I've personally witnessed.

New Oxy introduced by Purdue

Avatar Posted by Oxygirl at Feb 15, 2012 12:02 PM
Check any online forum devoted to drug use - it didn't take long for opiophiles to determine a way to crack the gel mechanism. Unlike most people's opinions of junkies, many are pharmacologists, chemists, biologists, etc.., and are smarter than you imagine.
What real changes have occured since the intro of the new Oxy OP? Unlike what the US DEA thought would happen, all those terrible Oxy addicts didn't just stop using Oxy and start spending all their free time at Church and tending to lepers. Those not crisping their Oxys have switched to heroin, which is a hell of a lot cheaper, or moved on to Roxis, Dilaudid, Fentanyl, Vicodin, etc... Opioid use certainly hasn't decreased. Funny - the US DEA spends so much time and resources on the failed "war on drugs", yet there are more people using Opioid in the US than anywhere else on Earth! Good job DEA!!! Every opi addict laughs at your febile attempts to control us.
So let Purdue bring on OxyNeo - smart company! They changed the name of the drug right as the patent on Oxycontin was due to run out in 2013. Now they have many more years of complete domination of the opioid marketplace, and will rake in Billions $$$ more. Meanwhile, even their own product monographs state that you shouldn't break up the new tablets, as dose-dumping can occur. Isn't that the reason why they changed the drug in the first place? So really they're saying nothing much has changed. Notice that they didn't include an opioid antagonist in their new pills - like naloxone - because that actually WOULD prevent addicts from injecting their drugs. Smart people those Purdue scientists! Stupid DEA never even realized what was going on.

they did absolutely nothing by changing these meds besides make the old ones more expensive and the new ones more dangerous...let me explain... so called tamper proof...gels when wet so you cant inject it? wrong people already got around that they put it in vinegar instead of water and it breaks down or neutralizes the additive that makes it so called tamper proof and as for being to hard to crush i hear you can wet it mildly and place it in the microwave and it drys out and crush's almost from just a touch..you can also grind them. so what did you fix? people are injecting vinegar and some unknown additive making it more dangerous than before
