TODAY MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBED TYLOX FOR PAIN. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THAT IS? I WAS TAKING A FEW DARVOCETS EVERY FEW DAYS FOR 2 HERNIATED DISC IN MY BACK. HE SAID THESE WILL HELP MORE.

It is tylenol and Oxycodone. My dr. gave them to me about a week and a half ago. I couldn't take them and was TOTALLY surprised. They made me EXTREMELY sick to my stomach. And I am so so glad. I am adddicted to hydro so I got somewhat excited when he prescribed this. I can take 10-15 norco 10's in a day, but just 2 of these did not agree with me. I'm glad. From what I hear--it's harder to get off of than hydro. And I'm having a hell of a time doing that.

mr/mrs reluctant....at 10 or 12 norcos a day...developing a fairly decent addiction...and if taking two oxycodone(tylox)makes you ill,you should be seeking recovery and makin the grade and getting off the stuff....my addiction led me to take 40 -50 lortab 10's a day...at 7 bucks a piece...when i could not get the pills i ran into a guy sellin heroin...it became cheaper to buy a cap of heroin at 20 bucks and get a hilacious buzz....good for me/bad for my dealer but he got shot and killed for his dope...somebody couldnt take the w/d's....its the only way i could kick heroin...by a guy dying...i pray for him all the time...addiction makes the best of us do stuff we never thought we would.....stay away from the things that chemically cause us addiction...it is definately not worth the price of a feel good.......chef

I absolutely agree, chef. I'm on about hour 52 with nothing. I've done this repeatedly in the past month. But I'm feeling pretty good. No serious w/d's this time. I figured it was because my body wasn't really having a chance to become totally dependant when I'd had been quitting for 1-4 days every 4-5 days or so. Unfortunately, I have surgery scheduled for next week. I will be clean up until then. And I'm going to have my husband give me my meds. Obviously, I really don't have much will power if I've quit 4-5 times in the last month. I'm sure they will give me my DOC after surgery. It's going to be a pretty painful one. But as soon as surgery is over, and I am through recuperating, it's back on the wagon.
