Any Other Substitute To Oxycontin Which Can Help Chronic Back And Other Problems?

Yes, i have been on Oxycontin 40 and 80 ml for several years and a few years ago they changed my prescriptions to an op brand and i could no longer find the oc brand. Was it discontinued for some reason, as i have severe-cronic back and other problems and the oc brand seemed to help a lot more than the op. If possible, how do i find out where to purchase the oc brand here in Iowa!

They put crystals of a blocker into it so if you are grinding it up, you don't get any drug response at all. So, if you are doing anything othr than just taking it orally and not breaking/cutting/changing the pill structure the pill won't work until you take it the way it is supposed to be taken.
Then, it was FDA approved to be quite similar. Furthermore, that is a high dose of narcotics that WILL cause you to get used to its effects and need more and more to get the same amount of effect and WILL cause withdrawal if you stop. Furthermore it IS associated with a significant death risk.
Methadone clinic can be helpful for people whose narcotic intake has gotten unmanageable. Resistance to this idea is a sign of addiction.
