Oxycodone Side Effects

what is the long term effect on your liver and other organs? I have had C-3 C-4 fusion 1986. L-4 L-5 fusion 2011. I have had shoulder surgery in 05.I'am taken oxycodone 7.5/500mg 3xa day and dilaudid 4mg 4 x a day and gabapentin 600mg 4x a day. He tells me that on a long term that oxycodon with out the tylenol in it will effect my liver. so why did he give me something with 500mg of Tylenol in it? just don't under stand. LOST ## I am not sure I understand why he would do that, either. The Acetaminophen is far more dangerous to your liver than the Oxycodone by itself. Learn more Percocet details here. I guess the better question is what type of doctor are you seeing? Is it a pain specialist or a general practitioner?

Can my pain medicine cause very hot heat in my face and nodding out after taking it? I'm on Oxycodone 20 milligrams. ## Hello, Bobby! How are you doing? Yes, the FDA does list those as being possible side effects, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and constipation. How long have you been taking it? Most side effects will improve, once your body adjusts to the medication.

I am just worried for a friend. I found pills and found out what they were and how they were being used and I am concerned.. ## Some of the side effects of abuse may possibly include addiction, with withdrawals if they run out, chronic constipation, drowsiness, dizziness, pinpoint pupils and the risk of organ damage and overdose. Oxycodone is classified by the FDA as a narcotic, so being addicted to it and abusing it can be very dangerous and is something your friend should get help with. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## If your friend is just taking 1 or 2 just to not be in pain she's prob just trying to live life without being in pain all the time. Believe it or not most drs now won't give u anything these days for pain. On the other hand if she's not in pain ...

Received prescription for oxycodone and experienced the worst side effects. Made me stay awake for extended periods of time. Chills, sweats, headache, anxiety it was horrifying. I disposed of. This should not be given without supervision. ## Hello, Lola! How are you feeling? Some people do experience those side effects, when they take this medication, since it is a narcotic. Others, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, drowsiness and constipation. And the need for supervision is why it requires a prescription from your doctor. Is there anything I can help with?

I have Hepatocellular Carcinoma, (liver cancer). My doctor put me on Oxycodone HLC, starting me out on 5MG tab and increasing as the cancer and pain progress. Right now I am on 10MG's but I believe 15MG's are in the very near future. I despise Opiates of any kind personally. So far so good with the small dosages, but as the MG's increase am I going to end up nauseous and sick like with Morphine and other Opiate medications? ## It is possible, but not very likely, if you're not already having those side effects. They would be much more likely to occur with a larger dosage jump. They are most likely to be mitigated for you, since you're gradually increasing, as needed. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects,...

I'm taking 30mg oxy pain" + valporic acid + quitapine for bi-polar is that safe? ## There is a slight risk to taking the Quetiapine with both of the others, it can cause depression of the central nervous system. They can be taken together, but the dosage should be taken under careful consideration and you should be monitored regularly. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Learn more Depakote details here. Learn more Quetiapine details here. You should also watch for any warning signs, such as feeling very dizzy and drowsy. Are there any other questions or comments?

i get oxycodone 30 mg pascribed to me every month but i always have trouble finding them ,i have insurance is there any other way for me to get them . ## Do you have a pharmacy that you use regularly? If so, since this is a regular and recurring prescription, they should be able to order them in for you. Another relevant questions is, how are you going about trying to find them? If you are just calling the pharmacies, rather than going in, with prescription in hand, you are probably not going to get truthful answers. When it is just a voice on the phone, they have no way of knowing if they are talking to an actual customer or a potential robber. Thus, in most cases, due to the high risk of theft, they will not actually tell you the truth about controlled substances. You can also check a...

I was prescribed percocet 5-325 for a toothache. I haven't taken them in a couple days BT the dizziness hasn't went away and I keep having hot flashes. Is this normal or should I go back to the emergency room?? ## Hello, Heather! How are you feeling? Side effects shouldn't last that long, after stopping them. Have you visited a dentist, about the tooth issue, yet? If you have an infection, it could be what's causing these symptoms.

Taking 5/325 hydrocodone & ancetamin for fractures in leg & arm. Even though this is small dose I am experiencing itchy face & some shallow breaths or longer time between breaths. I notice this at night . Only been on med for a week but read that these side affects are dangerous. Now afraid to continue pain control with these pills. I was wondering if this is because I take zoloft at nite with the pain med? The pain can get severe so dont know what to take anymore. ## Hello, Mickact! How are you doing? Has there been any change? I think it would be best to consult your doctor, because yes, those could be danger signs, and you might need to switch to a different medication.

I have a strange question which I can't really talk about with my doctor. I have been diagnosed as Bipolar. I am on anti depressants, anti psychotics and mood stablizors. I also take oxycodone occasionally but the weird part is it acts like speed in me. I get talkative, energetic and very spastic. It has done this well before I was on any psych drugs so it can't be off of a combo effect. Is it just my brain chemistry is screwed up or is it common? ## Hello, Norm! How are you? Medications are known to sometimes cause the opposite of their intended effect in some people that take them, for instance a medication to lower blood pressure could cause further elevations in some people. It's not exactly common, but nor is it really rare, it's kind of in the middle somewhere, acc...

Can you please tell me why while taking Percocet 5-325 I am lethargic round the clock and can barely function, but several years back on Oxycodon 10mg - ? (can't recall), I was at least able to daily tasks such as make my food, do the dishes along with other house hold chores, and in general, I had more energy too, while the pain was diminished as well? From what I understand there is not that much difference between the two? Also on the Percocet I experience nausea and decreased appetite too. Thank you ## Hello, Lucy! How are you? Percocet contains Oxycodone coupled with Acetaminophen, it tends to augment the effects of the Oxycodone in some people that take it, so you are probably experiencing more side effects than you did with the Oxycodone alone. The FDA classifies this medicat...

The pharmacy said that my original ratio of oxycodone/apap was on backorder and they sent me sandoz oxycodone instead. I am having a constant dull headache since the substitution. Could this be the cause? ## Headaches can be a normal side effect of this medication, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, constipation, and dry mouth. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications? ## I stopped the subscription and am awaiting my regularly prescribed meds. Pharmacy said the binder of the pills are different, not the main ingredient, but it is reacting so I will await my old drug. Thanks for posting.

I have been taking Oxycodone 10 mg tablets four daily and Oxycontin 10 mg once daily at bedtime for several years. For the past month I've been going from hot to cold daily. Sometimes it only lasts for a short while, but more and more the episodes are lasting most of the day. Could this possibily be caused from my doses needing to be increased? I really don't want to increase the amount of these meds, but these hot/cold/hot/cold spells are driving me crazy. I'm a 71 year old woman and even the amount that I'm presently taking continues to make me sleepy, and this is why I don't want to increase the amount that I'm already taking. Thank you for any help you may offer. ## It is really hard to say, according to FDA reports, there are many different issues that could...

oxycodone imm rel 5 mg. are this tabs safe ? ## Oxycodone is a very potent narcotic pain reliever, the immediate release means that all of the medication is released at once into your body, when you ingest the tablet. These are narcotics, so they can be dangerous if not take as prescribed and under a doctor's supervision.
