"i am retired, but still read and do many other activities. i was taking mscontin 30mg 3x and oxycodone ir 10mg 4x per day. i stopped reading and crocheting. i stopped watching my favorite programs. i never knew when i was going to fall asleep. i became hostile, angry, depressed, paranoid and had substantial memory loss. i stopped talking to people and was tired all the time. i didn&#039;t connect it to my pain medication because i have numerous chronic illnesses. last year my doctor suggested a change to oxycontin, but i was afraid. a month ago i started taking oxycodone ir 10mg four times a day and xtampza 18mg three times per day. i wish i had done it sooner. i have eat a good meal with the xtampza but,i am awake and my real personality is back. my energy is up."
