SisterHelp;

So she wasn't supposed to take 16 of the 20mg oxycontin pills per day, I am totally assuming, as that's a really high dose and dangerous! Did her doctor find out about how much she was taking or did he just decide to put her on Avinza (the one-a-day 90mg of Morphine at least I think that's what its called, but I'm NOT a doctor or pharmacist so I'm not sure about the 90mg or it could be less or more). She is she on BOTH oxy 20mg and morphine once-a-day??? That's weird if she is. I don't know why a pain doctor would put someone on TWO different types of Time Release narcotics. Now I've hear of a pain doctor putting someone on ONE time release narcotic and a short-acting narcotic like oxycodone (or percoset without tylenol), or vicodin, or morphine instant release, but not TWO time released medications, at least not where I live. Is she telling the truth? If so, and it is AVINZA at 90mg of Morphine and she is taking Oxycontin 20mg however many times a day, she MUST take this as prescribed. Do you know is she snorts or crushes and chews her pills? I know from experience that the strong time release morphine in a capsule if its crushed and snorted can be VERY strong, as I almost overdosed on it myself a few years back in my using days. Try talking to your sister to find out more information, get online and look up what she is telling you that she's on and then try to get through to her so she can either get help and get clean off all this junk or if she really needs some of it for pain, at least be honest with her doctor and get on a controlled dose and have it given to her by a non-using person (her husband/boyfriend if she has one, or you if you can handle that responsibility, or another trusted family member or friend). You're a great sister for coming online here for help! Good luck to you and her!

Love
