| 1 | pain reliever | Paranoia which lasted for 3 days. Very disconcerting! | Would never take it again | F | 84 | 1 days | 8/11/2006 | 1 | Surgery; Rotator cuff repair | 25 MG every 4 hours;Instant nausea, vomiting, sweating and hallucinations.... Only took three doses. | The nausea, vomiting an hallucinations were worse than the pain I was trying to relieve. | M | 73 | 1 days | 9/21/2003 | 5 | Multiple orthopedic problems | F | 68 | 10 years 2 tb 2-3x | 2/21/2014 | 1 | Knee surgery | Began vomiting within an hour, vomited for 24 hours. Didn't realize this was what caused it until I took a second one and vomited for 18 hours. I will never take another one. The Doctor said put these on your allergic list. | I reccomend that you do not buy this. | F | 68 | 2 days | 6/22/2006 | 1 | Surgery on finger | Extreme nausea and vomiting. | My Doctor recommended taking this medication immediately after my surgery. (Stay ahead of the pain). I followed his instructions even though I wasn't in any pain. Immediately after taking one pill, I became sick and vomited. I waited the required hours before taking the second pill, which caused the same reaction. I will NEVER take this medication again. | F | 63 | 1 days 2X day | 7/11/2012 | 2 | Pain control following knee surgery | Did not begin to touch pain, caused anxiety, tremors. Did not feel it helped at all. | F | 62 | 1 days .50 4X day | 12/9/2014 | 5 | Pain | Loopy with great pain relief. | F | 55 | 7 days | 10/19/2014 | 5 | Headaches | None | It was the best thing I have ever taken for headaches | F | 55 | 20 years | 6/27/2008 | 1 | Pain from diverticulitis | I see from comments some had good reactions some had bad as I did. I am similar to few. No vomiting but severe dizziness the next morning. I take a few different other medications (prescribed and not abused) on a regular basis. I took this because of the opiate blocker due to being a 7 year recovering alcoholic/attic and being one I know the feeling of a good pain pill or lots of them lol. This has to have a reaction to some medications. I can barely walk to the fridge to get water, thinking it might help, the next morning. It was closing my eyes like I was going to sleep but not sleeping after I took it, slept through the night ok then this severe vertigo that I hope goes away soon. Truly the worst trip I've been on and have been on a few in my lifetime. Missing out on work again today that I am behind on from the diverticulitis that has a deadline for people to have Thanksgiving in the home they bought that every contractor that remodeled it, even the guy overseeing it, f****** up stomach is growling as I'm typing I hope the vomiting or sh*** don't start now. FDA needs to check side effects when taken with different medicines. If I move my head laying down its vertigo laying down, how the hell does that happen. crazy feeling I've never had and even scary, hoping it goes away. You've probably already taken it and have problems or are on a good high if your reading this, good luck!! | M | 55 | 1 days 1-2 4hrs | 11/20/2015 | 5 | Fibromylagia and lumber pain | Makes me hyper and sweat | Im using talwin with tylenol allready added. Its the best pill I have found. Regular Talwin made me have vision problems. I am Pain free finally. | F | 54 | 30 days | 8/8/2008 | 5 | severe pain (kidney stones) | Talwin takes the edge off the pain for me but doesn't have the mental confusion side effects many narcotics have for me. I can still function on it. | I have had probably half a dozen or more Talwin prescriptions since my twenties and prefer it to Percocet or Vicodin, which make me nauseated. I have never taken it longer than three or fours days at a time, however. I keep it on hand for horseback riding injuries. | F | 53 | 30 years | 10/28/2007 | 4 | 1. Shoulder injury, 2. Depression | Taking a full 50 mg pill leads to increasing disorientation and tiredness. 1/4 pill (12.5 mg) usually has no side effects except the occasional upset stomach. | Although I started with Talwin for pain (worked very well), I have mainly used it (unprescribed) to help with depression. I am also on anti-depressants. When I am extremely depressed and non-functional, 1/4 pill (12.5 mg) gets me out of it. There is the temptation to continue taking 1/4 pills, but I can limit it to 2/day for 3-4 days. By then, I'm ok. | F | 48 | 10 years 12.5 2X day | 7/13/2010 | 5 | Dry Socket - tooth extraction | I am highly codeine intolerant. I was in such pain from a condition I got after a tooth extraction called Dry Socket that the dentist called the pharmacist and he recommended this. Combined with a few Advil it got me through the nightmarish pain I was in with no bad side effects at all. It had a relaxing effect which was helpful due to the pain I was in. It was a lifesaver for me but I could see how it would be addictive over a long period of time due to the relaxing effects the drug has. I am glad to have finally found a painkiller that actually works for me though, to be taken only when I really need it! | F | 45 | 7 days | 4/13/2006 | 1 | shoulder pain due to surgery | sever abdominal pain and cranmping and vometing | 2 Trips to the E.R. for severe pain. Why is it still available? | M | 45 | 3 days | 12/16/2005 | 1 | shoulder pain | I had severe vomiting for 3 days, extreme restlesness,suicidal thoughts. No pain but I stopped cold turkey and had the worst week of my life. This drug is dangerous. | I ran out of the drug after 1 week and before I could get more I went into withdrawal. In less than 24 hours my body reacted severely to the chemical dependancy. | F | 45 | 8 days | 6/23/2007 | 5 | back pain | inncrease in energy. | F | 43 | 1 days | 5/16/2005 | 5 | Severe chronic neck & back aches | At first, it upset my stomach. But after two days, all was fine. I don't think I'll ever take anything else for my pain. | With being in pain 24/7, Talwin has been a lifesaver. Wish I would have found out about it sooner. | F | 43 | 2 months 2X AN | 10/23/2014 | 5 | Gunshot Wound to shoulder | I had no side effects at all using this. I was taking so many vicodin 750 that I had major allergic reaction. | This is the best pain killer I have ever used and did not make me stupid or dizzy or high.. If you are in severe pain and I mean severe, this works wonderful without any side effects used as prescribed. Also because I took 1 per day and it killed pain all day til the next morning, I had no withdrawals. | F | 43 | 5 months | 7/13/2008 | 5 | back pain | high energy | i think its a great drug my back feels good and i have energy | M | 42 | 2 months | 11/29/2005 | 5 | back pain | Do not drive until medicine wears off. Similar to 3 martinis. | My back hurt for 2 years, related to deformed vertebra. I slept next to a back brace which I needed to strap on before I could stand up. Over 2 years, doctors prescribed a long list of medicines which only ruined my digestion. A new doctor prescribed Talwin for 6 weeks. Following 6 week course, back pain remained gone and has since been kept under control with regular exercise and occasional use of Talwin, a couple pills per year. | M | 40 | 6 weeks | 10/17/2007 |
