 4  Hernia operation I actually took Talacen, similar to Talwin but with the analgesic part being asprin. The drug worked well to control pain, caused a warm fuzzy feeling without any negative side effects. Seemed to react well with caffeine? Strange but true. M

 1  abdominal pain vomited for 6 hours until it wore off. mild hallucinations (waking nightmares?). The vomiting was so painful to my already-sore abdomen that it counteracted the pain relieving effects. I was so dizzy I could hardly stay upright to vomit. I was given this because I'm allergic to opiates. The pain would have been better. F 37 1 days

 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

 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

 1  pain reliever Paranoia which lasted for 3 days. Very disconcerting! Would never take it again F 84 1 days

 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

 1  infection from bone graft in finger Fever, extreme nausea & vomiting (even with food), heart racing, extreme dizziness & vertigo, couldn't sleep but was in this weird 1/2-dream state with really fast & often disturbing images/thoughts. It's supposed to last 4 hours but after 8 hours I could barely stand. This was the worst medicine experience I've ever had! I'd much rather have the pain, & I hate pain. It takes longer to metabolize than stated on the label (in my case & it looks like some others, too). I switched to plain old regular Tylenol... scared of pain killers at this point. F 30 1 days

 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

 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
 1  dry socket extreme disorientation, passed out, the "fuzzyness" lasted for over 24 hours and couldnt walk or stand without falling down. F 26 3 days

 5  Headaches None It was the best thing I have ever taken for headaches F 55 20 years
