i have been told i have digenertive disc disorder, and a couple of them are out of place and surgery is the only way to fix it.they currently have me on roxi 15s 3 to 4 times a day. i have a problem with keeping them down. what can i do for that, and im going this week to take my first drug test and im not sure how much i should try to keep down to pass? i dont know what the doctor has asked the lab to check for, so im not sure how much to actually take to try to keep down and be able to pass. please help

I'm not sure what you mean by "disc out of place"  but I have had herniated and bulging disc that were fixed without surgery.  Good luck and feel better!!!!!!

Have you tried chewing them up, or crushing them and putting them in your drink. I know generally you are not supposed to chew or crush them but if I couldn't keep the tablet down I would do what I had to do to keep in down, ya know? Good luck!

It's not a good idea to take these on a empty stomach, drink lots of water too. Are you being prescribed through a pain clinic? They just want to make sure the medication is being used as prescribed, if you can't tolerate it just take with you. Maybe you can try something else.
