I'm overweight and have severe knee pain..I can't take loratabs or anything with codeine because of itching and nausea...1/2 of oxycodone 30mg gets rid of my pain with no itching or nausea..why does this occur if they are both similar as far as being opiates? Also, is it OK to take oxycodone during the day and somas for my pain at night as they help me sleep?

Different medications affect people differently. There is really no other explanation for it.

For example, if I take Morphine, it makes me very, very drowsy, and I can't stay awake, and Dilaudid is often given to people in the ER, who present with severe migraines, but it actually gives me a headache and makes me sick.

All are possible side effects, as listed by the FDA, it is really just a matter of finding one that works for you, while causing the least amount of problems.

Is there anything else I can help with?
