Hello, TJ! How are you?

There is no set amount that you need to take, actually. Unless your doctor instructs otherwise, you should consider what they've prescribed as the maximum amount you can take in a day, but if you take 2 or 3 throughout the day and your pain is relieved, then you don't have to take the additional tablets.

The FDA classifies this medication as 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.

Thus, the side effects you've experience are normal and experienced by most people that take it.

Have you tried taking it with food to help minimize the nausea?
