Just wanted to add that my Oxycodone is 5 mg, so it's the same as one Percocet without the acetamenophen. That's the breakthrough med. The Avinza (AKA Morphine) is time released and I've already cut that in half. It works well until I'm upright for more than a few minutes. Then I need the Oxy. Does your Oxycontin control your pain steadily? It didn't for me-it was a roller coaster of pain control every few hours. So, my point is that I didn't go up in pain meds, but down, (same for charles??) so I'm hoping for the same for you. good luck!
