What Causes Dizziness And Drowsiness While On Oxycontin?
i am on pain management. I take oxicontin 10mg tablets twice a day. once in the morning once at about 8 pm it makes me very groggy, drowsey, light headed.especially around 4 to 6pm. can I safely skip a morning dose two or three times a week? I been on this stuff for about three years along with gaberpentin and hyrdrocodone. I have cut my hydrocodone out except for night time before bed. I would love to get off this stuff, don t know if I can bear thepain
