minimal side effects my ass

The guy i talked to all day (who disappeared after the drugs wore off) and I would like to explain side effects to some of these clinical asses who think the inability to speak, hallucinations, lethargy and confusion are a minimal price to pay for 10% relief.

Hope it helps some of you, at least I didn't puke it up like codiene based shit.

not in a good mood. fucking hurt.

Started the Nucynta this morning,so far so good.Its been 8 hours since I took it this morning and I just took another but there is side effects from coming off of the perco's.I yawn yawn yawn and having severe chills after the first 4-5 hours. He is taking precationary steps until the FDA makes its mind if they are pulling it off or not.I just didn't wanna take something that was gonna knock me out.IF so I guess I would just have to hurt because I ain't taking something that makes me sleepy.

Just a quick update,that is a bunch of junk.I took a Nucynta at 8:00pm and I was hurting so bad I had to go ahead and take a Percocet 7.5/325 @ 11:00pm because of such pain.This is not a good pain medicine to take away pain.

not doing much for my pain, doubled the dose no better

This medication will probably end up being similar to Tramadol or Ultram. I think it is supposed to be a bit more potent though.

Think Nucynta is a wash for me but nothing else has worked either.

One thing I'll say is no constipation, no nausea, or puking, less hangover headache,

but doesn't do a lot for pain for me

Nucynta

Hello, I just joined this forum due to information I found on a Google search. ( Nucynta) I read all of your post on this drug. I was just given this to me today after 2 years of being on Durgesic patches and oxycodone. I am hoping to learn from this post if all of you are getting relief from this new drug.
I too will post if it works for me, but I have only taken one dose so it is too early to say.

Thank you Tracy

Side Effects from Nucynta - Beware

I read all your posts on this new drug, Nucynta, which my pain doctor just put me on. Warning, I wound up in the E Room last night over this drug. I was having severe pain, the meds weren't doing anything for it at all so I took the Nucynta 2 hours ahead of schedule. I wound up out of nowhere having dizzy spells which turned into almost passing out spells and barely made it to the car and was in the ER within two minutes. I had difficulty breathing correctly and seriously thought I was going. Please, do not deviate from what your doctor tells you as far as the time schedule for this drug. It was very scary and I seriously thought this is it. Never again will I take this drug no matter what. I've been on oxycodone for years and never had a problem. He started this stupid pill that did absolutely nothing for pain and I wind up in the hospital.

Been taking nucynta for 2 weeks

My pain doc put me on nucynta after taking tramadol/vicodin for almost 2 years. In the last few months I was taking 1200mg of tramadol and he recommended nucynta. I suffer from severe lower back pain from military/body building for many years.

First off it took me 10 days to find a pharmacy that had it in stock. The first day I took as prescribed (1 every 6-8 hours/ 4x) but I was having issues coming off of that much tramadol/vicodin because I had a body dependency.

I have no side effects from the nucynta, but I'm only seeing a 50-60% relief from this drug. Since I have a surplus of other meds I have been taking 100mg of tramadol with the 50mg nucynta and that is very effective for me. I don't know what my doctor will say when I see him next??? I have come off the vicodin all together. I am too much of a chicken s*it to double the dose of the nucynta.

I like the nucynta, but I don't think it is what it is cracked up to be. I'm going to stay on it for a couple more weeks just to see what happens.

My first gripe is that it is a SII drug, so you cannot get refills (new script for each prescription). I have no idea why the FDA put it with SII drugs??? Tramadol is 6 and Vicodin is 4, what gives?

I'll keep posting my progress - nothing scary on my end so far.

Nucynta

Just wanted to say my Pain Management doctor prescribed Nucynta to me - couldn't tell me much information about it but he had "few others" in his facitility taking this without any problems. Even Walgreens had no information write-up on this drug. 1 1/2 days into treatment with this drug, I had only taken 3 doses, I ended up in the ER Urgent Care because I had physically passed out at my desk at work. The response I received from the doctor's office was minimal and the nurse at his office acted, to me, like this way not as big of a deal as I was making it out to be. My blood pressure had elevated enough to cause other physical problems and it took a good two to three days for everything to come back to normal. I am middle-aged and NEVER had any problems with my blood pressure. When I asked for a supplement - they told me that I needed to just get everything out of my system and then call them in a couple of weeks. I would not recommend this drug to anyone!

I was just given this drug today for depression and pain any person taking the drug nucynta for depression ?

I just got a prescription for Nucynta. Yall are scaring me. When I tried Neurontin I passed out, got dizzy and thought I was going to die. Laid in bed 3 days. I didn't give Savella the chance to get me that bad though I thought it might would've if I would’ve kept at it. All the seizure drugs affected me horribly. Walgreens said their warehouse didn't even carry Nucynta but they could special order it. I will have to pay 2$ a pill. Don't know now if it would be worth even looking for.
