Oxynorm And Oxycontin Addiction And Issues

Hi,

Last year May my wife had kidney problems which caused her severe pain, she was prescribed oxynorm 10 mg to be taken through the day and ended up on 60mg slow release to be taken morning and night as well as amatryptoline at night. She eventually had her operation end of September, as she got better the doctor she was seeing slowly weened her off the slow release whihc she no longer takes, she is now only on the 10mg oxynorm and amatryptoline.
We went to the Doctor last week as she has been vomiting 2 or 3 times a day for a few months now and has little or no apetite, her period is also very irregular and she didnt' have one for about 10 months, this was put down to the medication, we were told to wait till we see the surgeon that week as the doctor felt it may be related to the kidney but not the medication.
We saw the surgeon who put the vomiting down the medication and recommended she come of the oxynorm, she should see the doctor, the doctor has now said she must go back on the slow release and her symptoms have nothing to do with the edication.

I am extremely confused and worried, who is right?

It's difficult to provide you with any information, since your details on her kidney problem and surgery are so general and non-specific.

Has she considered consulting a completely different, independent doctor, to get an answer?
