Hey I am on oxycontin 20 mg 3 times a day.I have been taking alot of tylenol, alleve/motrin/asprin/ibuprofen for my pain when it gets bad instead of taking an extra oxy, or two.My dr seems to think that prescribing me another narcotic 1 or 2 times a day will be better for me and my stomach. I will not have to take as much for BT pain.I called and talked to his nurse and she said he was thinking of putting me on narco 10(i believe i typed it correct) . I told her that I will just wait to get them when I see him in person so I know what I am getting, and I can ask questions.

My question is what are narcos, what is in them, how do you spell it, do they work.

Does anyone think that maybe taking these a half at a time when needed will be better then the over the counter stuff. I will probally only need 1 to 2 a day.

anything/information about this new to me medicine will be greatlt appreciated.

thank you!!
