    Oxycontin has worked for 15 years to control pain, same dose for years. Switched due to insurance not covering and hard to get the oxy. Xtampza switch caused withdrawel symptoms, itching, sweats, restlessness, and does not work to dull the pain. not happy but what can you do.

    I was switched from Oxycontin to Xtampza ER and have found the medication to be as effective. I also take oxycodone twice a day between the 2 doses of Xtampza ER.
