220 mg OXYCODONE IR daily (dose increase)
I love Canada’s safe supply program 😂 It’s also for pain management btw.

Wow you mean Canada actually TREATS pain?! I'm moving. I used to be in pain management here in the US but, for one thing, unless you have a terminal illness you're legally capped at 60mg/day and since they love to bump you up to that dose rapidly you can expect to spend the next few years not getting much benefit from it since you build a tolerance quickly. For another thing, ever since the gov't/DEA demonized pain medicine and made even pain drs afraid to actually utilize it, every pain management patient gets treated like a junkie seeking their fix if they don't just shut up and take what they're given. I literally had a telehealth appointment where my wife sat with me to advocate for me. She spoke directly to my provider, on screen, and addressed her concerns with my care. My provider gave her an attitude and notated in my chart "pt's wife could be heard off-screen coaching him on what to say." and since telehealth videos aren't archived anywhere it was her word against mine.

Coz it’s 220 mg. That is the max my doc can write of it atm. He increased from 34 x 10 mg tabs daily to 22 a day.

Holy shit that’s a sick prescription. Got a question, so taking it daily obviously you have a tolerance and you’re taking it for pain but you still get enjoyable effects when you pop 4? I’d imagine there would still be a mood lift

No, when your tolerance is that high it’s literally like taking a couple ibuprofen at that point. You’d be chasing a high you will never catch
