Looking for some input on what people have done successfully to combat nausea while taking opioid pain meds. oral dosing of oxy in particular. haven't had this problem before but have had it the past few weeks or so - slightly increased dosing lately but i don't think (could be wrong) that it is dose-related. i know some people report that the inactive ingredients in some brands cause problems. what have folks found helpful? what works to keep the nausea under control? (not vomiting just basically feel sick a lot).

thx,
rocket

 
Try and get an Rx for zofran, best anti-nausea med.  Doc may try to give phergren instead as it's cheaper, but no where near as effective, so you may want.to say you are allergic to phenergren.  

 
yeah - actually took some from my wife's Rx - zofran is really good. thanks bud. any problems taking it regularly? i don't know much about it.

 
@bud and @rocketman I can't agree with you guys anymore. Zofran is the best but my doct gives it to me seldom. He likes  phenergan and compazine. Between the three zofrran, compazine and phenergan gets last place.

Only one, it tends to bind up the GI system just as opioids do, so one needs to make sure they are drinking enough water, eating enough fiber, etc.  I take it for migraine nausea too and it's a lifesaver for me.  Been taking it daily for about 2 yrs.

 
oh great to know bud - thank you very much. i get migraines also so maybe i'll try it for that as well

  8. D @ drdrizzy13: I liked Bryce Young at Bama but he just looks so small in the NFL lol.
  9. D @ drdrizzy13: He is actually surprising me. I was pissed when they drafted him. Shaueder threw for 360+ yds and 4 tds I was reading. I was kind of wanting Sanders but it's probably a mess that comes with it.
  10. L @ Layne_Cobain: @tiquanunderwood it’s alright bro we’ll sink then mothah lovin buccaneers …hopefully lol
  11. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Yeah, Shough can move too. It was an entertaining game. Sorry about your loss :(

  13. D @ drdrizzy13: @Layne_Cobain Not gonna lie I was hating on Tyler Shough for a minute but he made some damn nice throws against the Panthers!
  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: @tiquanunderwood so dissapointing man led whole game and then can’t get some first downs to kill some clock and a stupid roughing penalty puts them in easy fg territory…oh well gotta move on I guess gonna have to sweep the bucs there’s other ways in but that’s the most straightforward
  15. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Looking great at halftime. Hope you're having a good tme.
