I've taken the Oxy's for better than a year now for chronic pain and they work very well. Like the other poster said tho they are some strong!
I weigh even more than the 150 lbs. and was started off with 20 mgs. 3 x a day and I did fine with those. Eventually tho because the pain worsened over time I worked my way up to total of 220 mgs. daily. That is high mind you there is even higher doses than that. A friend of mine with Bladder Cancer takes his in 80 mg doses several times a day.
Anyway no one can tell you conclusively what amount is good for what weight cept a good doc I would think. A Pharmacist knows what is prescribed commonly tho too I would think but when it comes to knowing symptoms and how much to prepscribe a doc is the one to talk to. There are sites with MD's that moderate boards altho I cant top of head tell you where they are, sorry.
Good luck. Denise
