I am in the same boat, i have been dealing with major back pain for over a year now. I started on Vicodin and then moved to percocet 10/325. I have tried some of the long acting meds like MS Contin(morphine) and oxycontin as well but I really don't think that they did anything. However, i highly reccomend, DO NOT EVER TAKE ANYTHING THAT HAS OXYCONTIN IN IT. I was taking the lowest dosage pill they make for about a month 3 times a day, then I decided its not working so I don't need it so I stopped taking it, i was not prepared for what came next, the worst withdrawls ever. I lost 8 pounds in three days because i spent most of my time in the bathroom. So needless to say, i will never touch it again and even taking the lowest dose as reccommended can lead to major problems later. So after trying a bunch of others, I have just decided to take only Norco and thats it. It works ok just doesn't last a long time.
