Dec 2, '10 by tntrnQuote from tk0224And I was thinking Oxytocin!I've seen 80mg of Oxycontin q6h, with Percocet QID PRN.DeLanaHarvickWannabe likes this. -
Dec 2, '10 by gerry79160mg QID for a 35 y/o with vague c/o body and back pain. And the patient was still complaining of 10/10 pain when she occasionally awoke up from her coma. Thought it was a mistake when I saw the order. -
Dec 2, '10 by ~Mi Vida Loca~RNQuote from caliotter3Sorry, I was tired and didn't want to type out each drug, I didn't even think about that aspect LOLI must be out of touch. When I read the title to this thread, I thought you were talking about oxygen. For what it is worth, my patient is on 8 liters.
This was the most pain meds I have seen so far. Well for home meds that is, pt. had joint pain. That is what it was prescribed for. She was walking and alert, was in for an asthma attack yet has COPD and Smokes pot (not medical) which probably promoted the asthma attack I am sure, on a sleuth of other meds to. She refused to be admitted though when she found out she wouldn't be getting those drugs in the hospital. Apparently the prescribing person is well known for giving out lots of pain meds in town and is the one to go to if other docs won't give them to you. I am not sure how true that is or anything, no doubt I will come into contact with a lot more and stuff and get immune to the amounts, but this was still shocking to me. I get percocet, and have a pretty good tolerance to pain meds, actually most meds period but shoot I am on 7.5 mg 1-2 Q4-6 hrs PRN and get 20 a month. So those amounts seemed astonishing to me. -
Dec 22, '12 by willz1968100mcg I'm on 200mcg, and have been for about 2 years now, and 10/325 (norco) as you probably all ready know. Oh, and the norcos are every 4hrs. dew to an accident back in 2005, but my pain control Dr. says that I'll be in constant pain for the rest of my life, and believe me, "I AM". I'm so use to all that pain meds. that sometimes even that don't work, especially if a cold-front is comeing, or is upon me already. Unfortunally, I also know I've gotten addicted to them, but the pain is real, and I'm paralized chest to toes, but wow can my pain be horrible, though I have a friend on oxy.40mg, and that seems to help me some at sometimes. My Dr. won't change my norcos for oxy. I guess their stronger, and dosen't want to be the cause of my death, lol. - Dec 22, '12 by willz1968I'm paralyzed from my chest to my toes, and with a cath. but if I don't urinate in 4 hrs. OMG! My brain wants to explode, so be nice to your patients with caths. if he says he needs his cath. changed, "please" change-it, NOW! 44 year-old.
