Members shared their current opioid prescriptions in response to someone asking if anyone receives more than 10 mg of oxycodone, with dosages varying widely from zero to 40 mg of oxycontin twice daily, and several members expressing frustration that their doctors refuse to increase their doses despite ongoing pain. Several members described their regimens, including combinations of oxycodone, oxycontin, morphine, tramadol, and buprenorphine patches, with some noting they have been on stable doses for many years. A recurring theme was the struggle to access adequate pain relief, with one member identifying as a chronic pain patient advocate and encouraging others to keep fighting for appropriate care.
