IT WILL GET YOU ADDICTED. IT KILLS 15000 PEOPLE IN USA EVERY YEAR.IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT, DONT TAKE A HIGHER DOSE THAN PERSCRIBED NEVER EVER. | M | 35 | 7 months 30 mg | 10/5/2014 | 4 | pain | I have Ms, quite a few obstructions in my lower and mid back,,arthritis in both knees and wrists. So basically this has been the only medication that helps me to feel like a human. Really shouldn't give ppl such a hard time to fill their prescriptions. | F | 42 | 4 years 20mg 4xday | 9/13/2014 | 5 | back pain (arthritis in spine) | slight constipation | Haven't felt this good in YEARS. Twice a day, extended release, and I have no worries about it wearing off or withdrawal effects. Pain coverage 24/7. I wish I had this prescribed to me years ago. I can play with my children and do housework and walk the dog again. I can't imagine any kind of normal life without it. | F | 44 | 1 weeks 30 mg 2X day | 6/30/2014 | 5 | failed back surgery | Constipation which I have under control | F | 64 | 6 years 80mg | 5/20/2014 | 5 | Knee pain, ms pain | Dry mouth, itch, constipation, | 40 mg 3x per day for years. I'd like to stop the narcotic and have been researching using weed to get through it. Anyone have experience with that? It works well. I regret when I miss a dose. My pain can roar up like a vengeance and that gives me panic attacks of not getting pain under control. Horrible circle. | F | 45 | 10 years 40 3X day | 5/10/2014 | 5 | chronic neck and lower back pain | Constipation, and only works like 8 to 10 hrs., and I'm suppose to take 1 tablet every 12hrs. | F | 47 | 5 months 60 mg | 5/4/2014 | 2 | Severe back pain and post operatIve | Itchy Makes my ibs unbearable Dizziness Insomnia Nausea and vomiting Can't put a sentence together | F | 40 | 1 years 20 | 4/27/2014 | 1 | Lumbar Microdiscectomy | The side effects were worse than the pain... Constipation, diarrhea, flu like symptoms, headaches so bad my eyes hurt, itchy skin, numb arms... I hope to never go on it again and I don't see how anyone could get addicted to it! It is awful! I took 80 mg for 2 days, then 60 for 1, 40 for 1, 20mg for 1, and 10mg for 1... I cannot believe I had withdrawls just from that... Its brutal stuff, don't take it lightly!!!! | F | 25 | 6 days 80 | 4/23/2014 | 1 | Back surgery | I had minor constipation. The reason I am giving such a low score is the withdrawals a person will go through when quitting. You think you hurt now? The pain will be 100xs as bad. You will want to die. Seriously, don't ever take this medication unless you have a terminal illness. | F | 45 | 6 months 80mg | 2/15/2014 | 1 | Back, knee hand arthritis severe | Take one every 8 hours : Max 3 a day nothing work does not help my pain go away! I also have oxycodoene generic actavis 30mg take every 4-6 hours, 4 a days.

But I also felt extremely dizzy and not the good kind of dizzy--the wide awake kind of dizzy. My heart was pounding. | This unfortunately doesn't have the sleepy side effects others have noted. I was just wide awake dizzy. I kept taking it b/c I heard it killed pain better than advil but I think I'll go back to advil. | F | 48 | 21 days 325 1X day | 9/5/2013 | 3 | chronic arthritis | Good pain relief but side effects over time are a real drawback. After several years still working for pain but become disengaged from life and lethargic. Now the choice is pain or the side effects I never thought would happen to me as I've been careful not to abuse. I'm at the point I'd like to find another way to treat pain. For non cancer pain it's a tough choice honestly. | M | 49 | 4 years 40mg 3X day | 6/8/2013 | 5 | for back pain | no real side effects for me | it has worked really well and my doctor monitors my usage pretty closely | M | 61 | 3 years 60MG 1X day | 6/2/2013 | 2 | intactable chronic back pain | Horrible upset stomach right after taking it, sweating, wake up sick in the mornings, my pain comes and goes, I have peaks and valleys, been in bed 2 weeks sick feeling! | M | 39 | 2 weeks 80 mg | 6/2/2013 | 5 | Severe chronic back pain | mild to moderate drowsiness, mild constipation, very mild upset stomach. | My starting dose was 60mg three times a day, I'm now on 80mg four times a day along with 1-2 Dilaudid 4mg every 4-5 hrs for break thru pain. All the side effects went away within a little over a month except for drowsiness during an increase in dose. | M | 35 | 4 months 80mg 4X day | 4/11/2013 |
