Re: Allergic Reactions to Most Morphine pain killers

Hi

Percocet, and oxycodone are the same medication. None of the problems you wrote

about morphine are allergic reactions. The dosage was too high.

Nausea, and sweats probably means that Vicodin upsets your stomach.

This link gives information about what an allergic reaction is:

Sounds like you need a pain management doctor.  Since Oxycodone helps you might

titer up to a dose that helps.  You don't say how many oxycodone pills you took

on the day you were taking two 10 mg at a time, but the way you felt makes me

think it was too much medication too fast. 

You might do well on oxycontin which is the long lasting form.  Maybe taking 10

mg of that every 12 hours at first and since you metabolize faster then taking

one every 8 hours.  Only a pain management doctor is going to work with you on

medications to find what dose of which medication works best for you. 

If the doctor you are seeing is a pain doctor it might be better to find another

who is willing to work with you in the right way.  I just hate doctors who

determine the dose and medication without any real concern for your opinion. 

It's like that doctor isn't allowing you to talk about your own body.  You know

it better than he does.
