Of a stronger med. Expand... To find your long acting dose, they usually calculate your 24 hour dose of your current drug so for you, you use 60mg of oxycodone a day (6 pills with 10mg of oxycodone) so he could start you at 30mg Oxycontin twice a day and go up from there as needed, if he chooses to stay with oxycodone. This is just an example-he may choose to go with any of the long acting drugs out there but they are all pretty much calculated in the same fashion. Dont expect to feel a long acting drug give you the same "rush" when it kicks in that the Percocet do (or did) Many people get conditioned to feel this blast of opioid to the receptors and equate that with the drug "working" Long acting drugs can take a few days for the blood levels to build and then you should get pretty consistant pain control. I think you will feel much much better on a long acting form of medication!! It keeps you ahead of the pain rather than chasing it all day! I agree with the prvious responses, & think you need a different type of pain control The long acting type like MS Contin or Oxycontin work much better for chronic pain with using the percocet for breakthru pain. I take oxycodone which has not tylentol in it at all. You must watch the amount of tylenol your are putting in your body as it can distroy your liver. Talk to your pain management doctor as you have here, & tell him it just isn't doing the job anymore. Believe me they understand about tolerance or build up of these medications & undestand the dose needs to be changed or a differnt type of pain
