Doctors claim oxycodone exacerbates pain but nothing else helps

How does suboxone make you feel. I’m concerned about being drowsy from it? Have you ever taken OxyCodone?
If so how do they compare with pain control?
I too have a multitude of chronic pain conditions. Spine/ graves/ diabetes

Look forward to hearing from you.

I have just begun taking Suboxone and am currently titrating up to a dose that I can both tolerate and will help my pain.
Suboxone is actually a medication used to get people off opioids without experiencing withdrawal, but is used off-label for pain control. It works with some patients.
I’m hoping the Suboxone will help me. So far I am taking just a small piece of a pill three times a day, but I should be taking a stronger dose soon.
I am hopeful that the Suboxone will help my pain.
I suffer with extreme lower back and leg pain and have for many years.
Hydromorphone helped for a while but I developed a tolerance to it and it stopped working.
50 mcg of Fentanyl does nothing.
Gabapentin helps the neuropathy in my feet a bit.
I will keep you posted.
I'm so sorry for the delayed response. I have taken oxycodone in the past (years ago) but at that time I was struggling with addiction. I always felt like I needed more and more since my tolerance kept increasing. I found that I do way better on Suboxone. It helps with my pain and it has a half life so it stays in your system longer which is good for easing my pain. J definitely still feel pain but it's normally at a manageable level. Also I personally think it has less side effects. The withdrawal from it is way longer than oxycodone is. It's reallmh6 the n

I took Suboxone for my chronic pain from DDD for over 10 years. It worked great, was easy to get compared to the way they treat opiods today. However, my pain eventually got worse and now on Fentanyl patch. The good thing about it is it seemed to work fine at the same dose for over 10 years. Opiods cause us to build a tolerance to them, we'll require more and more to get the same relief...if you can avoid this, DO because today the Dr.s cannot treat their patients based on what's best for the patient, they have the government strictly monitoring them and t he restrictions are GOVERNMENT imposed...NOT necessarily what your Dr. thinks is best for you. Maybe when enough of the moms, brothers, sisters and kids of these legislators get denied treatment or under treated)for their pain....maybe things will change. For some reason folks who suffer the most with pain just...suffer. It seems nobody is "fighting" for PATIENTS rights, but for drug addicts...who have a much easier time getting drugs on the street than we do in the pharmacy.
