Changed 15mg Breakthrough 10/325 Norco

I take 75mg MS Contin, handles steady relief. My breakthrough pain was not under any control with 15mg morphine IR. Instead of increasing that med the Dr. wanted to change it up. Leaving the morphine ER the same he added 10/325 Norco. I get a couple minute euphoria which I cannot stand. I start feeling severe sick feeling. The pain is eased. The head and stomach's strange feeling last an hour or so. Aren't the comparisons equal? If so why would one effect me so much. I do have sensitivities to medications. I just don't want to mix up my pain stability trying to find a med to relieve the breakthrough. My Fibromyalgia flares need to be shut down quick. Finally to my questions. Do you think or know of these side effects lasting extended time? Having these side affects with the Norco. Variations of Hydrocodone, OxyContin, Oxycodone, and others in this group. Do you think I would experience these side effects?

Those can be normal side effects of all opiate narcotics, you may also experience headache, dry mouth, and constipation, as reported by the FDA.

Such side effects are usually transient and should go away with time, once your body gets used to medication, but that may take several weeks.

Has there been any improvement, yet?
