| 1 | knee surgury | hallucinations, headache, sweating, change in my personality, crying about everything, uneasyness, insomnia | If you are taking other meds Prozac or the likes. Please find another medication to take. It isn't worth this misery | F | 63 | 30 days 75 mg 4X day | 8/27/2010 | 2 | Chronic pain | Headache, severe abdominal pain. | M | 53 | 30 days 50 mg 4X day | 7/18/2010 | 3 | back injury | Irritable for no reason, bad memory, not happy as usual. | Update from previous entry. It worked for pain, but side effects not worth the relief. Other meds have less undesirable side effects. Took myself off nucynta (3 week ordeal). Memory and thinking improved. | M | 58 | 6 months 100mg 3X day | 7/12/2010 | 3 | Chronic pain, Insomnia | Sleepiness, full body twitching, shaky hands when it first hits you, mild euphoria, mild itching, urinary difficulty, severe short term memory loss that leads to inability to maintain conversations, Catatonia-like freezing in place (like a statue) especially when first prescribed. | Taken at higher doses (ex. 400 mgs in one dose) this med feels a lot like Demerol. Starts with a slight euphoria that feels very calming and chill, but as it increases in the bloodstream there is MAJOR confusion and memory loss in mid-sentence. "Out of it" feeling. Forget to swallow food in my mouth. It's like someone hit the pause button on the remote. On the upshot, pain control is great and sleep is not as disturbed as oxycodone or hydrocodone. | F | 29 | 7 weeks 100 mg 2X day | 6/20/2010 | 2 | Pain Management | fuzzy 'out of touch' feeling; slight dizziness and feeling of sadness. Some abdominal discomfort. | Drug was touted as pain mgmt/anti-depressant. Didn't do much for my pain and I developed a feeling of hopelessness and cried alot. | F | 55 | 14 days 50 mg 3X day | 6/17/2010 | 5 | neck and back injury, bursitis | Dizzy/floaty "high" feeling first day (very much like the nitrous at the dentist). Some sweating/feeling warm. | First day, dizzy and felt a bit spacey, but not in a bad way. It was kind of like, "Weeeeee!" if that makes sense. That part has gradually lessened each day; today just felt slightly euphoric but no dizziness. Doesn't keep me awake at night like oxycodone does (WOOT!), no itching, no nausea when taken with food, no headaches. Hips/bursitis feeling great, almost zero pain when sitting for extended periods. Overall, very happy with this med so far!. | F | 40 | 5 days 100 2X day | 5/7/2010 | 4 | Back pain, degenerative. | After using percocet for 8 years, not effective enough. Nucynta helps with pain as well as percocet. Taking both now. Problems are: constipation, slight upset stomach unless taken with food. A little irritation at times. Mood- can't put finger on it but know something is different, not as normally happy. Insomnia. | Nucynta 100 mg has same effect on pain as Percocet 10/325 mg. | M | 58 | 2 months 100 mg 2X day | 2/6/2010 | 1 | foot surgery | depressed, agitated, very emotional, crying a lot, couldn't eat (not good for healing),just felt sickly and gross(never experienced this feeling before), night sweats, heart racing, extra sleepy or wired (couldn't win), panic attack, constipation, etc. | Had switched to Nucynta after a week on Oxycontin and Vicodon. I had to stop using this stuff. I am normally a very positive happy person. It didn't help my pain enough for the hopelessness it caused. Quit cold turkey after two weeks on pain meds. Had two sessions of colon hydrotherapy sessions to help get toxins out and constipation flowing. Dealt with withdrawals (3 days) and pain from surgery, but was worth feeling like myself mentally. | F | 36 | 5 days | 12/24/2009 |
