That's interesting that it helps you eat. Opioids are supposed to have nausea as a potential side effect. They never had that effect on me. I often wake up a little nauseated. A half hour after I take hydrocodone, my nausea goes away and I feel hungry.
Well I take it, 4 times a day (I have a script and only use the ones with no actemetaphan) spaced out and I have a script for zofran(ondansetron) which is a perscription ( non scheduled anti nausea drug, and I have issues with my pancreas, also I have a gabapentin script, which makes me hungry and helped me eat and gain back alot of weight). unfortunately I am to older, in my late 40's, and too lazy too workout and put back the muscle mass I lost when I got really sick and was hospitalized for several weeks. This was in December 2015 a few weeks after my mom was found dead in the house, I now own and live in. Cause of death: Complications from cirrhosis of the liver, I suspect it was from too many pills with actemetaphan and then drinking to help with sleep, and pain, from a bad hysterectomy operation. My father who died in August 2023 was a surgeon and had the name of an excellent surgeon, but my mom only would let a female doctor perform the operation. She ended up with an incompetent female doctor and at what used to be the nightmare hospital in our area. She suffered and ultimately, paid for her stubbornness, with her life. There is a lot more to it but taking hugh amounts of fioricet which has, acetaminophen, caffeine and butalbital, ( a drug for migraines which she had a lot of, and butalbital, a barbiturate, and was not scheduled),(at least not back then)( the acetaminophen in hugh doses probably destroyed her liver), that and turning me into her drinking buddy killed her liver and her. Hydrocodone can cause nausea, also mild withdrawal since you only take 2 a day. My mom had problems with nausea from vicodin and norcos, but didn't know about Zofran.
I had my wisdom teeth pulled out a long time ago and I told the oral surgeon, I am not a druggie but am a real wimp about pain( which was true, but mainly a wimp when it comes to oral pain) and I ended up getting Percocets and Vicoden( this was a long time ago). Anyways my mother saw the bottle took a bunch of them, and said I paid for the operation (I was put under anesthesia) They are mine if I want them.( I think the DEA would disagree, but she is dead and this was around twenty or so years ago).
She absolutely loved them( they are a mix of oxycodone and acetaminophen)
and said that unlike vicodin or norco's; that they literally got rid of all her pain( literally from head to toe) but more importantly, they didn't make her nauseous.
She went to the same doctor I have and got dilauded, which she hated. If she would have told him he would have given her the oxycodone I take( because she had a bad liver and he would not write for any drug with acetaminophen in it for a patient with liver issues.
However she had a lot of pain issues and refused to ever ask for narcotics. She would have gotten the pure oxycodones which I am on and are noticeably stronger than the Percocets. But her pride, about not wanting to look like a drug seeker was her loss. Back then he would have written for her plenty of them. Maybe even a stronger dose and more, but that was before all this bullshit about telling doctors what they can write for and threatening them. Her loss, and she would have probably been still alive today. Pride can kill you.
It did her. Also she had been taking lots of fioricets for years before this for migraines and to help sleep.
