Eight Year Old Oxycodone
UpdatedI am posting this hoping that it will keep someone from an emergency ride to the ER. I have had prostatitis for weeks. Tylenol combined with naproxin have not been very effective in controlling the pain. Last night I decided to try some oxycodone left over from a 2007 back surgery. It has been stored at room temp. in a dark drawer. It smelled normal. To be “conservative” I cut a 5/325 oxycodone into four pieces and only took 1/4 of the pill. Thirty minutes later I was feeling awful and my blood pressure had shot up to 210/118. I had a rapid heart rate and it was pounding. Later, I was having chills and uncontrollable shaking. I was seriously afraid for my life. After an expensive ride via EMS, IV, EKG, blood work and u/a's, Benadryl inj. and three hours of monitoring my vital signs, it was determined that I experienced an adverse reaction to out-of-date oxycodone. I am much better today but am not fully recovered. I will never take any out-of-date medicines again – the risks just aren’t worth it.
