Obviously my response is tardy as you ingested all those meds eight hours ago. I suggest that you do not take that mixture of medications again.

OD's happen because of mixing the wrong medications together, too close and too often. Be safe. Please don't provide the general public with more damaging statistics to use against the prescribing on narcotics to chronic pain patients such as you and I. Talk to your physician about pain management.

I am not here to judge why you took all of those medications together. It is my nature to beleive you when you say you were in severe pain. That is the reason I suggest that you discuss better pain management with your physician.

How are you doing this morning? Please take care and keep in touch.

Peace my friend in pain,
Tuck

I also use oxycodone for back pain although it is a little bit higher dose than you're taking.
I don't think that you are in any danger having taken the dosage you just posted, but there is something you should know.
If you keep doing this there will come a time that the pain medication will become useless to you, and you will end up in more discomfort than you are presently experiencing.
Yep you'll build up a tolerance to this dose, and it wil seem like it's not doing you any good.
What is really happening is that your looking for that little buzz in your head that tells you that the pain meds are working, and that will be your downfall.
If you're looking for that buzz then you are developing a problem with the med, and it will then become a downward spiral until you will be abusing the meds, and you will end up being out of all of your meds before the end of the month, and you will be asking your doctor for a larger dose, and possibly even more pills per day, and that may not happen.
Doctors are under a lot of pressure form the government today to not be blindly prescribing pain meds, and your doctor may refuse to precribe any narcotic/opium based pain meds for you again.
My suggestion is to take a couple of days off without taking any of your pain meds at all, to see if they will work better for you the next time you take a pill.
In all honesty if your are taking the pills to get a buzz then you are using them for the wrong reasons.
