Pain Medication
HI Everyone.
Say, I have a question.
I am currently taking Neurontin (but will be changing to Lyrica), a muscle relaxer, benadryl and lidocaine patches. I have oxycodone at home for pain, but I feel really sick if I take it. I had a reaction the last time I tried to take it where I had uncontrollable muscle flailing. They think it might have been a reaction to the benadryl - where it possibly stays in your system longer than the 4-6 hours of immediate relief.
So, my question is this:
I really feel like I need something stronger to take at night that will knock me out and control the pain at night. What do you guys take where you don't feel really sick? Do you take an additional medication for the nauseousness?
It seems that either I'm in pain or I take the medication and feel sick for 4-6 hours or more. So, I've been in pain not wanting to risk a reaction...
Any comments would be much appreciated.
