Nucynta Effects
(Newest replies first)

Hi there, I am currently taking oxys for my chronic pain, which work very well for me, but my dr has just given me a script for nucynta which is a fairly new drug. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these and if they can give me any info regarding the effects, if any, side effects etc compared to oxys? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance for ur time
Nucynta Er makes me very tired in the afternoon, but reduces pain 60+%. Anyone else have a similar tiredness reaction?
I'm taking 150mg Nucynta at night and 50mg during the day. Now I suffer from severe memory loss and obsessive compulsion. I'm taking Nucynta for severe CRPS and RAD post shoulder surgery. Anyone else?
It made me mean, and I felt like a alien... Plus like 0 pain relief..
My doctor gave me Nucynta 50 mg for severe nerve pain. I took one and felt nothing, so I took another with no relief still... Then I took another and oh boy, my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. What's inside of them? No other pain med that I've taken had that kind of effect. By the way, I felt no pain relief either.

Will this medication give you energy? My doctor took me off my hydrocodone 5/325. Which gave me at least some energy. Will the nucynta give me energy? Please say yes lol. {edited for privacy}.
Re: Ghost in the well (# 22)
Well I been hearing a lot about this Xztampza drug guess a lot of people are going to that since as a,week ago Opana ER got ripped off the shelves so tons of people are scrambling around to find their replacement ER med. Luckily I get the generic oxymorphone ER'S and I've been hearing that their taking those away to even tho my PM place is telling me I have nothing to worry about. Guess I'll have to wait and see on Oct 2 if when I go to fill they either tell me no or I go get it changed to.....what ER med is as good as oxymorphone 30mg I'll tell you- nothing is not even close these things are soooooo STRONG it's crazy I've tried just about everything out there and maybe the 2 closest things would be oxycontin 80mg and Fentynel 75mcg I know cause I've tried them both but 2 problems with each drug first is the oxycontin 80's are not easily written most docs won't write for that high of a mg so I'd be lucky to get the 60's then theirs the problem with getting my insurance to cover it. Then the Fentynl is just a road I don't want to go down it's the strongest thing out there and it's been highly criticized for people abusing and OD'ing off of plus i know it does not last a full 3 days 2 at most and you get 10 a month so if I had to wait a full 10 days to get my new script the withdraws off of those are the HANDS DOWN WORST!!! And once again having the doc write for that is so hard and I wouldn't want anything but the 75mcg. and that's just not gonna happen plus highly doubt insurance will cover it. So what is a person to do???? Please any and all suggestions are welcome!!!
I'm allergic to tramadol. It makes my chest hurt. I was given nucynta 50 mg. Is it the same or in the family of tramadol? If so, I can't take it.
Personally I prefer 8mg. Dilaudid. Although I've overdosed 3 times I still crave them. Nucynta almost made me give up drugs! Now my doctor has me on Morphine Sulfate, not too happy about that but it beats the heck out of that other crap.
I hear you GHOAST IN THE SHELL, I have a friend on Nucenta 200mg 3x's a day. He HATES them. I said they can't be that bad especially if their giving these to you instead of the Oxycotin 40mg 3x's a day but boy was I wrong!!! He let me try a hand full and WOW WHAT GARBAGE I GOT MORE RELIEF TAKING 4 IB PROFIN 800MG.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DOCTORS ARE THINKING THAT NUCYNTA IS EVEN IN THE SAME RELM AS A VICODIN LET ALONE A SUBSTITUTE FOR OXYCOTIN!!! THE DAY MY DOC THINKS HE'S SWITCHING ME IS THE DAY I LEAVE AND GO TO ANOTHER PM.
BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN MY PM DOC IS AWESOME AND I LOVE MY OXYmorphone 30mg ER it blows everything else out of the water.
I hope you guys that are unhappy either talk with your doc and get changed back to what worked for you or just take your business elsewhere
That is the most worthless medication to ever hit the market. Forget about any kind of effect. I don't know, maybe if you take the whole bottle? Please don't! The day I started my new prescription I started sweating like there's no tomorrow. I sweated my ass off until I figured out what happened, and within a few hours of my last dose I finally dried out. Now I'm on morphine ER, not too happy about it either.
I have been in this new drug Nucynta now for 7 days and have not slept in72 hours. The shivering & burning is absolutely horrific. Has anyone experienced these side effects ? Calling Dr. Today & will no longer take this drug. 22 surgeries & major pain 24 hours a day is enough to handle, without dealing with these horrid side effects
Nucynta works great for me. No more do I have to choose between pain and nausea.
Hi JoJo, I agree with you, it's like no one cares. The 200mg Nucynta 2x's day does little in treating my pain. I'm also on oxycodone 5mg /325 for breakthrough 2 tabs 3xday. It helps more than the Nucynta. The Nucynta has also made me nauseated at times. I don't understand why one insurance comp. covers a Med & another won't. I think I read where someone said you could pay out of pocket for the Med. This is not an option for me, not at about $1,000 a month or close to it. I also have been going to my Physciatric for years. This Year she decided to stop participating with AARP United Healthcare. I continue to see her & pay out of pocket which is not cheap. I have no choice because I can't find a Physciatric that is participating with them. You would think that the Insurance Comp would help in finding a doctor. "NOT HAPPENING" I wish you the best on the switch of your Med.
Hi, I've had to go from 40mg OxyContin 1 tab 3 x day after being on it for 14/15 years to Nucynta 200mg. I've been on it 7 weeks, "7 MISERABLE WEEKS" The Nucynta just like the OxyContin last about 8hrs if that long. Reading about it, says you can take 600mg a day. Insurance will only cover 2 tablets a day. I cannot sleep, my blood pressure runs high and I keep getting a headache. I know that the stress from being in constant pain has a lot to do with this. It's like No One, NOT NO ONE gives a Damn. I'm sorry I do not make it a habit of cursing but this is enough to make a Preacher Curse. I know that there are people who want the pain meds for the wrong reasons I get that. When you've had every evaluation there is, disease that creates pain & surgeries after surgeries, these people know that our pain is real & we are not faking it. So we have to pay the price & suffer for the ones who do misuse. It's sad because it has caused some of those who are in pain, who they have prescribed pain meds for years and then stop prescribing them. It's like they are forcing them to do whatever just to deal with the pain. It has happened to a few people I have known & they are no longer here. The DEA, Insurance Companies & Doctor's know this but continue to deny them or us the meds to treat our pain. I Pray to God I am never one of those. Apparently the ones making the rules or decisions as to what to prescribe have never suffered with pain. I'm sorry I meant to answer your question & I hope I did. I just get so upset with what's happened to us.
Im sorry your in constent pain I'm surprised your not on Fentanyl patch with all your medical issues. Oxymorphone worked for me I guess you tried that already and DIDDENT like it. I've been reading around the web and A LOT of people HATE Nucenta!!

Wish ya the best
I agree with you 100%. I have been on 1 OxyContin 40 mg tablet 3x day for 14 yrs using" 2" 5/325 Percocet tabs for break through in between. Last year I had that problem with insurance & was put on Opana. It made me deathly sick or so I felt like I was . My doctor got the insurance to approve the OxyContin again. This Year I am back to square one except I am now on the Nucynta 200 mg 1 tab 2x's day. I can still use my breakthrough med's as I was. I have been on them 2 wks and in pain so bad. I can't sleep, I do not feel like do anything period I hurt so bad. I have have degentive disk disease. I have had 2 cervical surgeries leaving me with a plate & 15 screws in my neck. I've had 14 Lumbar surgeries, I know I have a cage and rods & screws. God only knows what has been done to my back. I've also had a reverse r shoulder replacement. This has all been within the past 15 yrs. my last Lumbar surgery was in 2014. This doctor cut my back open from the top of where my bra is down to where my hips begin. I am in constant 24/7 pain . The OxyContin along with my breakthrough has been the only thing to help me at all . It just makes me sick & angry that a person with Known Proven Pain & Health issues can be done this way needing treatment 24/7. I am soon to be 67 yrs old and 15 yrs ago I would not even take an aspirin. I had, had a historectomey "Sorry I Know that's not spelled correctly." & 3 hernia repairs and as I said would not take anything. So for what it's worth I feel for any of you that suffer with pain. I just hope & pray that the insurance companies will start feeling this way without going through or suffering with pain as some of us are trying to live with. God Bless you all !
JoJo,
That is most unfortunate however there is a solution. If this medication provides you with the quality of life that others fail to, you are not forced to settle for a less effective medication, simply pay out of pocket. I know several people that have opted for this alternative. All the money in the world can not buy you the freedom of pain control....
I'm on it now.I just came off from Methadone 10mg & It's not as strong, nor is it as strong as oxytocin or oxycodone. I'm on the 50mg Nucynta. The benefits to me are better as far as less side effects. You still get the warm feeling but no itchyness. Although be very careful of the serotonin levels. Stop taking fluoxotine if you're on it. It will give you serotonin syndrome.
I have been on both Oxycotin 30 mg-2x a day and Oxycodone 15 mg for break through pain both of these were working very well for me. When suddenly the Oxycotin was refused by the Insurance Co and I was put on Nucynta ER 150 mg 2x a day. I have been keeping a diary since I started taking it on the 14th of this month. I was told I had to try 3 medications before the Insurance Company would give the approval for the Oxycotin. I am really no longer getting the relief from my pain, which is from Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome and MS. It makes me angry that Insurance Companies are given the power to override a doctors orders and take anyone off medication that has been working for them for years. It is us Patients that have to suffer and it appears that no one really cares...
