Are you headed for deep trouble?! You have no idea!! Oxycontin & roxycontin are HIGHLY addictive! It's hard for me to believe you're taking as much oxycontin as you say. It is time released. Have you gotten a second opinion? I don't know any GOOD doctor in his right mind who would prescribe this much oxycontin to you! I have fibromyalgia also, and there is NO WAY I would take oxycontin. A lot of your pain is probably coming from the pain med itself! Apparently you have never been around anyone who was strung out on oxycontin. It's not a pretty picture. Run...don't walk...to a good doctor (obviously not the one you are going to) and get another opinion. I can see NO REASON why you should need this much pain medicine. And by the way...read everything you can get your hands on before you take any pain meds like that...not just from the drug companies; I mean from the people who are now addicted!
