Hello.... When the Doctor gave me my Rx with Oxy on it, he told me to not even cut them in half. To be careful to never break it up. So I have been careful. I take up to 9 oxy's a day. Plus I take percocet for breakthrough pain. I have a very hard time taking these meds. I am addicted now, but that is all secondary because the pain is so extreme. Oxy is very constipating. But I seem to handle that ok. I love fruit and its what I eat the most of. Also my Doc gave me a Rx of Lactouse. That helps too. My meds have made me depressed ....and the pain as well. I wish I could give you some good advice. But I can't take care of myself... I'll listen to you if that would help....It's 4 in the AM and I am tired but have so much pain tonight.... Thanks for your information....I wish you well and pain free. Kristie

>I CANNOT SWALLOW PILLS-I HAVE TO CHEW THEM UP-YUCK!-OR OPEN THE CAPSULE AND PUT IT IN ORANGE JUICE. NOT KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE THATS HOW I TOOK THE OXYCONTIN. THANKFULLY, I DIDN'T TAKE THEM LONG ENOUGH TO BECOME ADDICTED TO THEM. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, THEY HAVE WORKED THE BEST SO FAR FOR PAIN. THEY DIDN'T MAKE ME SICK OR NO DRUGGED FEELING.
