HELP... new meds have BAD side effects?
Hi,
I was all excited to finally get a referral to a pain management doc, and met with him yesterday. He spent about 40 mins going over everything with me, and then put me on some new meds to try. Unfortunately I seem to be VERY sick from them.
Wondering if anyone has taken these and gotten similar reaction, and if the side effects level out eventually (better yet, go away!).
I'm taking 5mg butrans transdermal patch for pain, along with my percocets which I've been taking for a very long time, so that's not a problem, and gabapenten 100mg twice a day.
I'm thinking it's the pain patch making me sick, but not sure.
Symptoms: abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue and weakness.
I'm only on day two of the new meds. Any thoughts?
