That is my experience, no sore joints, no sleep trouble, no withdrawals and no anxiety. In fact, on my last refill, I had to wait a week before I was able to get a refill and had no withdrawals. Now if that was Oxycontin, I would have been in the emergency room begging for emergency Oxy refill!!
Codeine works for my chronic pain! Oxycontin was very addictive and in the long run provided only as much relief as codeine. Of course, everyone reacts differently to medication.
