Pain Meds Make Me Very Nauseated

Updated

I cannot take narcotic pain meds, as I get very sick in the stomach. I have a wound vac and have gotten it replaced. It's very painful without pain medications. What are the best pain meds that aren't narcotics?

Hello, sorry to hear this. Many people get an upset stomach. If you have not tried it yet take a narcotic pain med and try having a meal, then wait 15-20 mins and take a dose. Then after 10-15 mins eat a piece of dry toast. This method has worked with a lot of people. The problem is there really are not any none narcotic pain meds that work well on moderate to moderately severe pain. And if there was one, the major pharma companies would buy it and not let it out... lol.

Zandy, how are you doing? I'm sorry that you're suffering.

Have you tried making sure to take them with food? Have you tried anything to help prevent the nausea?

I have a similar problem from narcotics, and my doctor usually just has me take something that helps prevent nausea, along with the opiate.

As the other poster has already stated, there is really nothing else equivalent for alleviating pain, and according to FDA reports, all opiates carry the risk of being habit forming, and causing nausea, as a side effect, along with dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
