| 3 | fibromyalgia, severe lower back pai | some constipation - not serious. some forgetfulness. sometimes difficulty urinating. does not work well without 2 percocet 3 x per day. | Was increased gradually from 15 mg twice a day to 60 mg twice per day with up to 4 percocets for break through pain. It always takes 2 three times per day. Kadian seems to work better than generics. I am getting it from the company program very expensive. It has given me back the ability to be with my horses and that is all I care about anymore. I barely make it and fear I will need an increase. I am back to waking all night locked up in pain. I cannot get it where I live and am now without transportation. My SSDI is over $560.00 per mo and I do not qualify for county transportation. If only I had not gone to college. Doctors need more education. I am in an illegal drug saturated area which makes it more difficult. I must see the doctor monthly or no Rx. What gives? I made $90,000 per year and now may not survive because of it. If I had access to regular medical care I think Kadian would give me my life again. | F | 54 | 6 months | 10/30/2005 | 5 | fibromya,osteo,chronic pain in back | loss of sexual desire and feeling,constipation,frequent urination during night,trouble sleeping. | works much better than Percocet,Fentynol patch or Methadone.Take 3 60mg pills per day for relief of pain, but find that for pain break through it takes to long to take effect, sometimes hours.Must take at proper time in order to keep pain free.I Due feel that it can be addictive as I have tried to stop pill and have suffered some severe side effects,so I keep useing it to keep pain free | M | 59 | 10 months | 10/29/2005 | 4 | herniated disk | constipation | after a while does not work as well better than any hydrocodones no addiction | M | 28 | 1 weeks | 10/8/2005 | 5 | Severe Fibromyalgia | Constipation & sexual side effects. | Kadian gave me my life back. Great pain relief, no high feeling. I'm working and able to be a good mom again. I don't care to be dependent on a medication, but this drug has been a miracle for me. | F | 44 | 1.5 years | 9/28/2005 | 4 | severe lower back pain. | Constipation, (have to take a fiber pill), slight nausea, and normal for all opioids is decreased sexual desire and ability to orgasm (ejaculate). | I was able to tolerate Kadian better then Oxycontin which made me sick to my stomach for three days. Oxy gave me severe nausea. Any one know a pain releiver that is as good as Oxy or Kadian but without the Opioid sexual side effects? Email me at | M | 40 | 1.5 years | 8/18/2005 | 4 | Severe Pain-Fibromyalgia/RA/Osteo | The only side effect I have felt is sleepiness. I find that if I take Kadian as prescribed that it works continuously and quite well. The side effect of constipation has been easily relieved by taking OTC Dulcolax...I take 2 rather than just 1 and only have to reply on it 2 per week. I also take Neurontin, Zanaflex and Nabutome...I have found that they all work quite well together albeit I still have my bad pain days. It is obvious to me that I will, no doubt, have to increase my intake of the above medications as time goes by. | F | 54 | 1 years | 8/15/2005 | 3 | l3-l4 degenerating disk/ arthritis | Dr started me on 20mg a day with not much relief, he increased it 20mg two times a day and still not enough to cover the chronic pain.
