Not the normal kind we hear about...
And I realize that because of those problems with the DEA flagging it right and left, there will be very few people that take it in this forum, but just in case there are.
This only applies to long-acting Oxycodone.
In June the number of generic OCs whittled down to just one. Previously there were three companies that made them. Due to this, there is now a shortage of the remaining generic.
So, in the coming months, you may end up having to pay for the regular brand name Oxycontin, which there is no shortage on. Not a problem so long as your insurance doesn't fight you on it.
Nothing to worry about, but if it happens - don't panic. It is just a shortage. The company that makes them, Teva, are scheduled to keep making them at least through the end of 2007.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I hope the same doesn't happen with Oxy, it is becoming so street popular and the drug stores are getting robbed, it might fade away for the good of the public at large. Not us though.
Ouch
I wouldn't take it again unless I had to.
