My mom is in SEVERE pain. She used to take OxyContin for the pain, but it caused sever depression. So she just started taking Dilaudid. I had done a search and found they made a time reased version called Palladone (24 hours). It is made by the same company that makes OxyContin. The FDA pulled it off the market. They said it was due to the risk of ppl dying due to mixing alcohol wiith the drug. Any idiot that mixes and narcotic pain medication with alcohol and dies, got was what coming in the first place. I am obviously pissed right now. A drug that can help my mom with sever pain and they won't allow purdue to sell it. My mom doesn't even drink. This is what FDA (Short for F**king Dumb Asses) said:

"The label for Palladone already includes a standard warning against the use of alcohol with opioid (morphine-based) drugs. The agency said "the FDA does not believe that the risk of serious, and potentially fatal, adverse events can be effectively managed by label warnings alone and a risk management plan.""

Excuse me, but how many people have died from OxyContin without mixing it with alcohol?  By the way the same company makes both. If anyone can find information on this. I would really appreciate it.

The FDA said that if someone mixes Palladone with alcohol. It causes the whole dose to be released at once. It seems people already do this with OxyContin.
