my dose of oxy is zero. i take 2.5mg hydrocodone every 4 hours, 300mg gabapentin every 8 hours, and 50mg tramadol with the hydro. i also discovered that naproxen helps with gabapentin absorption so i take 1 of those with the gaba. i had oxy at first and it was not as effective as hydro for me.

I 'm not on oxy anymore. It didn't exactly do the trick. I'm now on 150mg Lyrica, 100mg of codeine contin 3 times a day, 100mg of Arthotec twice a day and 25mg of Nortripyline at night. I tried Gabapentin but it didn't seem to work for me.

Hi, I take between 100 - 120mg of Oxy a day depending on how things are. Ive tried just about every med and Oxy is the only one that has helped take the edge off, still a stuggle tho! :roll:

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: May 24, 2008 an 88 year old lady did not see me and pulled out while I was riding my 06 HD Street Glide. The accident resulted in 9 broken bones and brain hemorrhaging. The accident's most serious results was two avulsions confirmed in my C6 & C7 vertebrae. In Oct of 08 Dr. Li of Wake Forest University performed nerve transfer lasting around 8 hours in surgery. I have limited use now of my left arm. It took until July of 09 before it moved at all, and now is moving limited. I experience burning pain in my left hand, staying busy helps keep the mind off of burning. I visited the Mayo Clinic May, 2010 and consulted with their brachial plexus team. May 1, 2012, I underwent a muscle transfer at Wake Forest University. This surgery was deemed a success and I have more movement in my arm.

I got off of Oxycotin very soon after my accident. I was on 36,000 gabapentin for the next 2 years after. Recently Dr. Li switched me to Lyrica. I take 300mg per day and I am responding "pretty good" to it. I have struggles of pain from time to time but that is all I am taking now for it.

Wish you the best of luck.

I recommend following dosage to my patients.
Oxycontin is approximately 1.5–2 times as potent as morphine when administered orally. However, 10–15 mg of Oxycontin produces an analgesic effect similar to 10 mg of morphine.
when administered intramuscular. Therefore, as a parenteral dose, morphine is approximately up to 50% more potent than Oxycontin.
