Oxycodone

That is a decent dose, I take 5mg when required and if needed I take one more. Maybe get a prescription for the lower dose. There shouldn't be any risk at 15mg but might be overkill with your tolerance level.

I don't care to take oxycodone unless I have surgery. When I was working about 8 years ago. I'd take it at night so I could sleep otherwise I couldn't get relief from the pain. And then it would end up an er visit for a shot of toradol. Now Only occasionally but for me 10 mg followed by Tylenol for arthritis tends to work if I do it right away. If I let the pain linger it takes longer, a few doses, and a day missed doing life.

I've taken 5 Mg of Oxycodone for 7 years now because of extreme headaches they think are caused by contracting Lyme Disease!
At one point stopped the Oxy and switched to Hydrocodone! My headaches came back!
Lyme is very Mysterious! If you put 30 people together with Lyme you'd have 30 different symptoms!
I get tired of all the Hype about Oxy! If you've ever suffered from continuous pain for 24/7 you would understand! The Oxy helps me live a somewhat decent life!
If you can't manage your medication you need psychological help!
It doesn't take much effort to understand what can happen to you if you misuse it!

See if you can break it in half that's a big dose. Pill cutters are the best

Hello @servicegoddess,

Have you had a chance to discuss this question with a care provider? Is the medication also two years old? There are expiration dates with medications and their efficacy and potency can be different over time. If you are concerned about the potential dosage, especially with narcotics, it is always best practice to speak with a medical provider or the provider who prescribed you the medication. Being cautious is never a bad strategy when dealing with medications, especially pain killer medications.

Please be careful. When I had a very serious operation at Mayo Clinic/Steve GRINSTEAD, they gave me opioids including Fentanyl! I learned that I am allergic to opioids. I lost more blood from the opioids than from the operation. I will never take opioids again, no matter the pain.

I’m so sorry for your bad experience with opioids.
This is an extremely rare experience however, so I believe most people could safely try opioids for pain relief.

15mg is a hefty dose and you must have been in very bad pain for you to receive a prescription like that. I’m a retired nurse and I’ve given thousands of patients medication and I’ve never seen a prescription or given anyone that much oxycodone at once. I’d be careful if you’ve been off for 2 years. Try breaking or cutting in half.
