Anyone ever heard of having this problem?
The 80 mg pills dont do anything for me, and I
just poop them out... I guess my digestive path doesnt know how to break them down? I was in so much pain!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else have this problem, or heard of it?
I need to use them, else I am going to be hooked up to an IV forever..
HELP!!!!!!

    no I haven't heard of it. Oxycodone - is not time released, and is, as I understand it another form of percocet. Maybe, oxycontin, which is the time realease form would work better, or maybe worse. You need to talk to your doctor, ASAP.
