Last night at the er i was given a shot of demeral and was given to take home 6 tylenol3. I waited 3 to 4 hrs still in major back pain and took the tylenol 3 since doc said demeral would only give temp relief. Shortly it started to kick in and it caused my stomack are to cramp so bad that i couldnt relax in my bed unless i was in a very weird possition with my legs to take preasure off but it was hurting my back. Ive also had gastric bypass and along with that 4 surgeries related to it. I dont know why this reaction happened and was hoping i could get some insight. ## It can cause stomach upset as a side effect, though the cramping isn't normal, according to FDA reports.

Want to stop taking this med: oxycodone/acetaminophen 2.5-325 for two years. ## Hello, Bud! How are you? How many have you been taking each day? A slow taper is usually best, your doctor can help you set up a tapering schedule. However, you may still experience some withdrawal symptoms, which may include nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, fever, chills and rebound pain as listed by the FDA. ## My sister has been on Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 2.5 mg once a day for about three years. How long would her withdrawal last? ## On 2.5mg for years, no withdrawals for me after stopping without tapering.

ive been prescribed oxycodone between 5mg up to 30 mg at a time any where from 3 times a day up to 5 times a day. I have a debilitating degenerating bone disease in my hips and lower back have 1 artificial hip awaiting the other replacement ... nothing else helps the pain except medicine that's being highly abused in my area and with recent fear of dr writing scripts its very hard to find a dr who will write them. this has forced me to patron some questionable facilities in the past several years. now im out of options and my family dr doesn't prescribe them. The only pharmacy that I can get them at wont fill them from that dr. what do I do? any ideas where I could go aside from the hope clinic? ## In Christiansburg va there are 2 pain clinics.

Is any one seeing a dr in nebraska for thier pain? I live here and would like to start a forum here ## I have seen a pain management doctor in Hastings and a pain management doctor in Grand Island Nebraska, and neither one of them will consider giving me pain medication even though I was on it for 10 years before and it helped. I have severe arthritis of the back knees neck and need double knee replacement a single parent with 10 year old and must stay active. I tried many many other forms of treatment without success. If you come across somebody let me know I would drive for miles. ## Kearney has a few I think. Have you tried there? I believe there are even a couple of fairly new ones. MIght be worth a try.

My friend's dad is really sick and has been taking morphine under his tongue every 2 hours. Isn't that too soon? ## What are the prescribing instructions? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. He should not exceed the amount directed by his doctor, but in some case, when it is a possibly fatal condition, it may be prescribed more freely to try to give the patient some comfort and quality of life. Is he on any other medications?

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes, and mood swings.

I am allergic to Aspirin and was put on Sporasec, but I experienced swelling in my face and hands, vomiting, fever and headache. ## No, it does not, but you may also be allergic to it, or one of it's ingredients. The NIH typically warns that someone who is allergic to one medication will usually end up finding others that they are also allergic to, it is just a quirk of human biology. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications? Did you inform the doctor that prescribed it for you?

This is to answer the question is there a higher dose form of norco the answer is yes it's called Zohydro it was made here in San Diego and has been approved by the Fda and Sea but it might be hard to find and the insurance company might not cover it, it's and extended version kinda like oxycontin for oxycodone and it comes in different doses. Fact not fiction. ## Just to clarify, Zohydro only contains Hydrocodone, in a time released formulation. It does not contain Acetaminophen, like Norco does. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Are there any questions or concerns? ## verwon you are just right as for the side effects but it comes in dosage as l...

Went to a doctor in Marietta ga and my regular pharmacy didn't haxe the oxycodone 15mg and I've came to Augusta ga and now I can't find anyone to fill them. I usually use wallgreens but now I can't even get no Walgreens around to fill, if anyone can help plz ## Hi Ashley, If you can't get your prescriptions filled locally, have you considered opting for an online pharmacy that can ship you your meds? I personally haven't used this method for getting a prescription, but I know there are a good number of sites out there that are safe and legal to order from amongst the swarm of bad ones... Legitimate online pharmacies that carry the VIPPS seal are listed at: nabp.net/programs/accreditation/vipps/find-a-vipps-online-pharmacy I would also recommend checking with site...
