I get 150 oxycontin and 150 oxycodone a month. What would be a better pain med. They dont seem to be doing much anymore. Either i am in more pain or im used to the pain meds. I put a pain patch on and could not tell a difference. Thanks David

if you're on generics, then you're in trouble. mscontin will work, maybe, but probably not as well.
basically anything you need is going to get pricey. i would investigate state sponsored prescription programs, and any other benefits that may bring down the bill. have AAA, that will help.
Walgreens is about 1/2 the price but,It may take you 4 hrs, and 30 stores to find them.Then, if they look on their computer and you havn't been getting them there for a few months,they just blow U off and say "WE DON'T HAVE THEM RIGHT NOW".
It's all scewed up.Dr's are writing scripts to folks with friggin hangnails,the folks who REALLY need them can't get them.[:(!]
first, make sure you're on generics. if you're paying purdue for their brand, you're doing it wrong.

I tried all those avenues...U get a discount on ANYTHING BUT oxycodone...
Now,If you're a welfare case, it's another story.The Pharmacies can get double the actual cost from medicade.The bums on welfare pay ZERO for their scripts.[V]

i have personally used my aaa card to significantly reduce the cost of oxycodone. every case is different it would appear, but to say it cant be done is not accurate.

it must be nice to live in a world without pain. sadly, not all of us have that option.
It is a time release Morphine Capsule.
I take one 60 mg. Capsule a Day and it works great.
I have to quite taking oxycontin because when i went to get them they were 315 dollars for 60 30 mg. I had been paying 48 in Dec. I got my oxycodones filled. What can i take to replace the oxycontin. I was thinking morphine time release or 30 mg of oxycodone 6 times a day. Any ideas?
I bet your insurance flipped somehow. I know with my plan as of jan 1st i can no longer use walgreens and had to switch to rite aid. If you have to pay full price call the manufacturer and see if they will give you your meds for free and the doctor can sign the papers for you. Good luck Dave as it is tough to be in constant pain as some of us are.
Pain is no kidding matter ZEBRA and your an bastagin for making that comment!.
