Re: Oxycodone
Not everyone experiences opioid alerting. I take methadone and gabapentin. The methadone causes alerting so I take it at lunchtime and then take the gabapentin at bedtime. By taking methadone at lunch, my alerting symptoms are gone by bedtime.

Although they had it in stock, they made a policy decision that limits minimum time to dispense Sch 2 meds to 29 days even though the DEA allows every 28. I was one day early, so I had to go back again today ...
