who takes Oxycontin

If you do, my pharmacist informed me they are pulling the generic again. She could not tell me why, but we will have to take the name brand once again. To me, this is a double edged sword. The name brand lasts longer, but $10 versus $50

I think you should talk to your Family Doctor about this, if you are on oxycontin long term it may account for your symptoms,  be aware that this drug can be habit forming.
