Having pain is no fun but you should not take this medicine if you have a heart condition as this can make your condition worse. The Xanax is okay to take for the nerve condition as it dulls the pain of the nerves. But not to be taken for as long as you have been taking it.

I'll bet you were one happy chick high on the oxy and not caring due to the Xanax flying around on the ceiling. He sounds like a borderline quack to me who was caught writing too many narcotics.

Get yourself another doctor pronto.


Hmm - I should have paid more attention when Pharmacists talked to - or around me - but I thought Xanax is used to treat anxiety disorders/problem and has no effect on pain -

And you are incorrect about cardiac patients not being able to take oxy - it is routinely given following cardiac surgeries, at least in my area. I don't know about terribly long term but my husband had a multitude of health conditions and oxycodone was his various Doctors' choice to control his pain for years. I'd be interested if you have a source concerning cardiac problems being made worse by oxy.

Hmm - now I don't know if the Doctor was prescribing Oxycontin or Oxycodone for the original poster - ? I was thinking Oxycodone.

I don't have the time right now to paw through books but isn't Oxycodone the active ingredient in Oxycontin - other than that I wonder what the difference is? I know Oxycodone w/apap is generic for Percocet (I'm cheating right now and reading the label) but otherwise - ?

Does anyone know? (I should have paid more attention when my husband "talked shop.")

I take Oxycodone on occasion for a back injury (which I have posted) and my husband took it for a number of pain issues.

Thought provoking post, J9 - and I breezed right through the thread thinking Oxycodone!

It is a narcotic any way you spell it. It is not to be used for a long time by cardio patients or anyone else for that matter.

You may wish to share this with my husband's Doctors or, for that matter, many Cardiologists. I think there are different circumstances, different guidelines for different patients, different conditions, different levels of pain.

Again - does anybody know the difference between the two?
