<t>hi linda,<br/> <br/> i'm going on 3 years RTBPI and have been on oxycontin for about 3.5 years now. i'm finally down to 10 mg once per day, usually late afternoon or evening BUT i have had rare occasions where i haven't needed to take it all! i find the weather affects how much i need to take it ...

<t>hi bill and all!<br/> <br/> i meant to reply to you earlier but with the holidays and all...anyway, my apologies.<br/> <br/> i have had the constipation problem also. my dr. told me that anyone who is on long term opiates usually ends up with this problem. he gave me samples of an over-the-counte...
