i had been taking 10 mg 325, for back pain and left shoulder pain; I have had hardware placed in the back and a ball installed in the left shoulder; they switched me to 15 mg of oxy and it has been hell; tired muscles, huge drymouth, extreme fatigue and a feeling of not wanting to do anything but sleep ## Hello, Richard! How are you? I'm sorry about the way you're feeling. But yes, as listed by the FDA, those are normal side effects for this medication. 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. However, things should improve, after a few weeks, once your body gets used to the medication. If they don't, then you should speak to your doctor. Is there a...

I was prescribed 5/325mg of oxycodone for when I have headaches and for a month I have been depending on a half of one EVERYNIGHT to go to sleep or I cant sleep. How do I stop and will it affect me if I do stop?? ## Hello, Lalala! How are you? That's a very low amount to be taken and there shouldn't be any sever problems with stopping it, but you may experience some rebound insomnia. The FDA lists this medication as being 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. If you're worried, please double check with your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with? ## nope tht very helpful but since it low amount if i stop cold turkey will i have severe withdrawls?...

I've tapered down from 20 mg oxycodone ( for 3 months for back pain) to 5mg for the last eight days. I want to get this process over with, of course. I could drop to 2.5 for week or just stop oxycodone now and prepare for the symptoms. My dr has given me adavan and clonidine. Advice please. ## So, you sent from 4 x 5mg per day to 1 x 5mg per day? Is your pain under control? 3 months isn't that long of time. If I were you, I'd change to 2.5 mg 2x per day then cut it to 2.5 once a day then that is it. ## When you think u tapperd down enough dont do none for 2 whole days then after 48 hours take a little bit, but dont get all loaded. Just take the edge off a little so you will sleep and wake up almost normal. I'm about to do it, hopefully i can quit. It's a mother f***e...

I filled my Rx at a different pharmacy to save time and received this version of Percocet a333. It's terrible! The regular ones I receive (by a completely different manufacturer than this or Watson) work pretty well. My issue is just worsening so They just aren't effective. Then when I opened this bottle, noticed the texture was different. It was early morning and dark so I took my normal 1/2 so I can go back to sleep. Felt no relief like I normally feel enough to sleep comfortably. Had to double check to make sure I didn't put Tylenol in one of the bottles for travel. Took the other half. Feels as weak as Tylenol in regards to my level of relief (almost none). Took my next full dose at when enough time had passed. Still, very little relief. This isn't the first time this w

I take prescribed oxycodone 5mg with v on one side and 48/10 on the other. Tonight I think I took two at the same time by mistake instead of my usual 1 mg lorazapan for sleep. Instead of drowzy i feel nausous a little dizzy and too alert. is this normal and will it pass? Thank you ## I see this was posted a few days, so probably a little late for the answer, but I will still post it for future reference. Yes, those effects can be normal, in some people, when they suddenly take a higher dose and they will wear off, either when you return to your normal dose or your body adjusts to the new dosage. And just so you know, in the future, doubling up on a narcotic like that does create the risk of overdose, so you should know the problematic signs to watch out for, which may include shallow br...

Does it supposed to work better faster or what this will be my first time trying oxycodone 15 U23 I just picked them up for my pharmacist went to the doctor yesterday but I'm always scared of trying new things but the regular Oxycontin 15 M Block I think wasn't doing anything for my pain and I'm a natural person I don't like to try stuff so I'm hoping when I do try this. It won't have me oh still hurting dizzy stomach upset vomiting I'm hoping that it just stopped my pain and have me to sleep good tonight that's all I want thank you ## Hello Linda, I apologize but I am having a difficult time figuring out exactly what you're asking. I believe what you want to know is if the Oxycodone 15 U23 takes effect faster than the 15 M. If that's the case the...

I am 35 and was recently hurt bad on a construction site. I've been getting 15mg oxycodone every month (the small round green ones). I've had the (M) brand the (V) brand the A 214 brand and all have been good. Tuesday I filled my script and they give me these large oval pills N/P ON ONE SIDE, 15 THE OTHER. Well they are so horrible - they are worse than Tylenol. They relieve no pain they don't help me sleep. No tired feeling or anything before I took 1. My pain level was a 10, and an hour later still a 10. They do not work. This morning I took a higher dose and felt no relief at all. 3 months ago was the first time I ever took a pain pill so it isn't me. If the pharmacy ever hands you this brand hand it right back or you will be furious. ## Hello, Tony! How are you? I am...

My brother was on OXYCONTIN blue generic k57 40 mg for torn muscles~ he weighed 252 pounds & was prescribed 30 pills by physician~ we'll to make long story short he took 3 bc of severe pain and died in sleep, how can a man his weight have his heart stop by taking a small amount when he weighs so much? Have they changed? They were once yellow but heard genres are bluish & stronger than real ones? ## Hello, Jack! How are you? I am so sorry for your loss, that's so tragic. The tablet with the K 57 marking is manufactured by KVK Tech and they list them as containing only 20mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. 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, dizzin...

I have been using Hydrocodon-Acet 5/325 AMN (or AMNEA) since surgery about 6 years ago. I don't take it as a regular med although for a month in the Re-hab I was given it at least once a day as a sleep aid. At home I took it as a pain reliever only when needed and lately I have been in need of sleep and take one at bed-time about twice a week. Now it is being treated as a narcotic and I am worried about it. I haven't seen the surgeon who did the last surgery since he saw me about 3 months after and he wanted to see me one more time. Unfortunately I could not get any more transportation to see him and so I cancelled. That was about 7 months ago. At that time I was sleeping better. Now I can't get any more of the Hydrocodone without his approval. I haven't asked my GP to d...

In Aug. of 2016, I fell and broke my arm. I took Oxycodone for pain for about 3 months. It was the best sleep I'd had in 13 years (since my son passed away). Then my doc took it away. On Feb. 13, 2017, I had a trigger finger repaired and he gave me Oxycodone again. This time, I have a headache and trouble sleeping. Why is this? Oh and I only take it at night. If I take it more than that, I get very sick and sweaty. Thank you. ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, so your body may have changed with age, causing you to experience them, now, though you didn't before. The FDA also warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and you may also experience dry mouth, and constipation. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

What will happen if u mix these two plus lorazepam ## Hello, Bree! How are you? Has your doctor approved you taking all 3 of these medications? Zzzquil contains the active ingredient Diphenhydramine, it is classified by the FDA as an antihistamine that is also used to help promote sleep. Its typical side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. The main issue with taking all 3 is they all cause depression of the central nervous system, which for some people might be too much and could be dangerous. Their blood pressure and heart rate may drop too low, sending them into a coma or causing death. Thus, these shouldn't be mixed, without your doctor's approval. Oxycodone is a narcotic analgesic that may cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headach...

Hello, I was just prescribed by my pain doctor oxycodone 30 mg imm rel tab I get 90 pills every 2 weeks cause I have bulging disc in my neck C3-C6. This is my 5th different med I have taken I have been switched so many times trying to find something stronger that will relieve my pain. I have had 3 different neck procedures going on my 4th procedure in 2 weeks.

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...

I have taked oxycodone and hydrocodone over the last 30 years due to chronic kidney stones (I have passed, or had removed, well over 50 stones in my lifetime) and a severely scarred ureter on my left side. Often I go several days without having to take a half of a Hydrocodone 5/325. That is my "go to" dose when my side starts to ache, and it usually takes the edge off. If not, I will take another half, or if it seems to be getting worse, an Oxycodone 5mg. They work just fine, but if I take an Oxy near bedtime. I won't get to sleep for about 6 hours. I don't feel agitated or hyped up, I just can't get to sleep. During the daytime, if I have to take an Oxy, I don't feel much other than the pain subsiding and a little bit of a euphoric feeling. I am very fortunate i...

I just had my wisdom tooth taken out and I am going through a lot of pain. I can't even sleep. ## Hello, Vanilla! How are you? Since this is the regular release formulation, it will take about15 to 20 minutes to kick in and start working. 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I was prescribed 5mg Percocet to take twice a day. I took one 1 hr and 45mins ago and I don't feel like it has worked and I am in alot of pain.

I take 20 mg of oxycodone and 10 mg of oxycontin each twice a day for back pain. Are they the likely cause of the sleepy, drowsy, tired feeling that I experience much of each day? ## Yes, drowsiness, dizziness, and sedation are common side effects, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. How long have you been taking them? Side effects are typically transient and go away, with time, once your body gets to the medications.

SMALL ROUND IMPRINT K/9 NOTHING OTHER SIDE FOUND IN KIDS ROOM STATES OXYCODONE ## Yes, this contains 30mgs of Oxycodone, a narcotic pain reliever. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Have you ask your child why they have it? ## I'm determined to stop taking oxy/hydrocodone after many years. I need to do this Aline and have already begun the first stages of slowly tapering off. Also heard melatonin and B complex would help with the sleep issue. Anything else anyone could advise?
