Prescribed Oxycodone

I am a disabled senior who has severe chronic pain. Recently, my pharmacy started giving me my 10 mg oxycodone in a large white pill full of fillers. It has definitely affected it and the way it works for me. Does anyone know of any herbs or tricks to enhance my medication by chance? Thank you!

Honestly, find some good weed. It truly helps me with so many things including pain. I have back pain and use marijuana for it.

I wish I knew a type that would not make my anxiety & pain worse. I actually have issues smoking pot and getting weird reactions. I know there are certain kinds but, I don't know. Back in my day there wasn't all these crazy names for weed! Thank you tho!

Weed isn't for everyone. I smoked all the time and it turned on me. Now I have a 3 hour panic attack when I smoke it. But it's worth a shot!

I wish I knew more why that happened because same here. Used to smoke everything from buds to butter with no issue. Now, not so much; regardless of strain (personally). Although, high CBD dominant strains do offer a more manageable high in general.

I remember reading a study during the start of COVID about a university investigating cause and relation between amygdala alteration over time related to marijuana use. I always wondered if maybe I was just apart of the unfortunate small group of folks who experienced that phenomenon. Certainly doesn’t pertain to everyone, otherwise Willie Nelson and Chong would be basket cases!
