Dr 10/325 Hydrocodone to 10mg Oxycodone , not wanting the acetaminophen

I am on 10mg. four times a day, the same dosage I was on with hydrocodone. The Oxycodone works much better but just does not last long enough. My insurance will not cover the longer lasting Oxy, suggestions on making it last longer and be more potent?

I understand what you're going through because I'm prescribed 4 short acting pills per day. They don't last long enough.
I don't have insurance so I checked out getting a drug discount card. Using it saves me a lot of money on my prescription.
I'm not sure what the cost would be for the long acting meds but you can ask your pharmacist. It varies from store to store. Actually, you can research this on line to see what the costs are at different pharmacies. I think the website is called goodrx.
Research discount drug cards for the long acting medication. You can save up to 80% off of your prescription.Maybe then you could afford to pay out of pocket for the long acting medication.
