A member asked:
If i take 15-30mgs of oxycodone every 4hrs for severe pain from herniated discs, what should i expect the long term side effects to be?

See below: Opiates, in general, are not designed for use as long-term medications. Your doctor will constantly be on the look ourt for other methods of pain control. Opiates are know for habituation...You'll eventually need ever larger doses. Constipation, itching, thought disruption can also occur. Keep your doctor notified.
