Hello. I Have Been Taking Ratio-oxycocet (oxycodone Hci 5mg/ 325

Hello. I have been taking ratio-oxycocet (oxycodone hci 5mg/ 325 mg acetaminophen) for over 8 years. They are fast release and use 8 tablets per day. About 2 or so years back I began to notice less and less relief and many times during the half life cycle I got sick, very anxious, and experienced increasing panic, especially in the mornings as I have cronic panic disorder. I suffer from severe costcochondritis and chest cavity one large mass of arthritic tissue and cartilage, also fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, muscular disorder due to brain damage which causes extreme muscular rigidity and spasms that can not even hardly walk at times. My thighs, knees, shoulders and upper back suffer bad neural pain, and more. I think I am very tolerant to the drug already, I crash into withdrawal many times during the half life cycle of drug. Can not sleep as a side sleeper and shoulders, ribs, hips, thighs, knees and back all hurt very soon after laying down even after med has taken effect!!! I am not an abuser of the drug and suffer terribly as I think I am so tolerant already that it has half or less effect than it did before. The panic producing dips, and just not enough of the med any more has made my life one of anxious terror. So much acetaminophen so long has me very worried as already have osteoarthritis and am only 62. It is definitely not my rivotril lacking as I must use Ativan to help the panic and it works. I recently took one tablet a few times as panic began to start developing as bad anxiety and guess what? I calmed down again but needless to say very little help if any for the pain. Can patients actually develop such tolerances with opiod drugs over time that dosages must be increased. If so I hope to live to at least 80. What happens to others who have no choice but to take these drugs for the rest of their lives?!! I am in extreme back pain already just writing these notes. Also, 40 mg of oxycodone time release even touch this pain as that is the same amount. Very confused.
Email YYYY@YYYY . Only seeking an opinion as these drugs are so badly abused out there, and I have a wonderful doctor. Sad to say I am viewed as an addict! Well if so, the prescription bottle would long be empty seeking that high they say out there. Only at the beginning did I notice some mental changes but were only a bit more chipper but who would not be if your pain is relieved. So in total, do people have to accept increases if they are life long chronic pain suffering individuals. I had a life once as a College Professor and had my own Accounting Practice which was all lost due to sever panic disorder and not even 8 mg. of rivotril could promise no more panic. Thank you for your most considerate attention to this most odd question but I only understand numbers, and not medication numbers.
