skybytch 273 #1 June 28, 2007 What strange side effects do you get/have you gotten from prescription medications? Vicodin makes my nose itch. Every time. And I can't figure out why. Ritalin makes my head tingle like it did when I used to do speed. Kinda makes sense though, since Ritalin is speed... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #3 June 28, 2007 QuoteWhat strange side effects do you get/have you gotten from prescription medications? Well, there was that one time that I found myself in the parking lot of a nursing home, petting an oil spot on the ground that I thought was my best friend's cat. Oh wait, maybe those meds weren't prescribed... well, not by a doctor anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicodin is hydrocodone, and my understanding is that it's more similar to oxycodone than codeine. Methadone is totally different and I absolutely agree with you. It made me nauseous and didn't really reduce the pain so much as make me care less about it. I hope I'm never in a position again where it's considered a good option.

ACMESkydiver 0 #16 June 29, 2007 I guess the only side effects I can think of right now are vomitting on percocet () and my sinuses felt like I snorted a bottle of tabasco when I took one particular type of migraine med (I think it was called Zomig?) ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

skydiverbry 0 #22 June 29, 2007 Clay,This is very true.It was a major concern of mine I dicussed with my pain specialist at the start. When I first began the regimem,I would not drive,but as I "got used to it" the drowsy and other side effects became less pronouced. I have to admit now I do drive,with MD's permission,but because of slowed reaction time I have changed my habits & limited the amt.of driving I do. I take it as perscibed and should I take it after a night of lack of sleep,I'm no were near a motor vehicle(passenger only) Thanks for the reminder Bry-------------------------------------------------- Growing old is mandatory.Growing up is optional!!
