A member asked:
Is it safe to take half a 5mg of oxycodone daily if someone has chronic pain? are there safer non addictive things i can try
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: If you are not being prescribed the oxycodone by your physician, it is not recommended. There are many other safer alternatives as opioid usage for chronic pain is a health crisis in our country and many people are getting addicted with severe consequences. Topical medications yoga tai chi and acupuncture have all been shown to benefit chronic pain.
