I taked to my doc today and we're gonna see how things go for another week. Then if I want, we're going to try hydrocodone for a month. THEN, after trying both for a month I can either stay on the hydrocodone or go back to the Oxycontin. So I think he wants to keep it between those two opiates for now - which is fine with me.He wants to try HYCODAN which is hydrocodone and an atropine-like med combo. I guess the aptropine-like med is supposed to protect against overdose but I'm not sure if it also inhibits the "good" feelings from the opiate? I'm trying to do some research but have come up dry so far.
