yes, it's hard to pick up- sometimes my H gets it for me.
The new HHPA regulations are a real problem. The government (DEA) has knowledge of what drs prescribe and interferes with the privacy. The DEA watches the pharmacies records and gives them a hard time and they give the patients a hard time to discourage them from coming to their pharmacy. Some do not carry it at all or are always out or short of a whole month's medicine. It's a pain for the pharmacies to deal with the record-keeping, i guess, so they keep a small inventory.

Bp- i just want to add a warning to what i said about my dose and weight in case anyone reading may think that they can take the same amount that i take and be ok. i've been having pain for almost a year and a half. The amount that i take is so much because we have a tolerance to the medicine. It was very slowly increased because of necessity over a long period of time. i had major surgery and recuperation during this time also and had pain medicine for that. Someone that doesn't take oxycontin or other type of narcotic and took this large a dose would be in serious trouble.
Everyone should check with their dr for the correct dose.

Take care bp and everyone,

It was bothering me - i don't want anyone to get sick or worse because of reading of my experience.
