This medication is for relief severe pain. Adverse side effects are light headiness,dizziness, sedation, euphoria (or high feeling), delirium, drowsiness, lethargy, impaired mental & phyisiscal performance, mood changes, nausea, sweating.
These are some of the side side effects that a person "can" have. It does not mean that a person will have them. They very from person to peron. It does not mix well with Demerol; becareful because it enhances the side effects greatly and surpressing the breathing and can cause some people to stop breathing. Aviod Alcohol-serious side effects may occur. Take with food to avoid nausea.
Hope this helps

It should help with the pain some. You may feel drowsy, maybe a little loopy! I was on it too. I started having panic attacks from this medication - they took me off of it. Read the paperwork that comes with it just to be on the safe side. Be careful!

It relieves pain, but It can make you feel kindda out of it. It containes the same ingrediant that HEROIN does. THey us it for heroin addicts to help the withdraw symptoms. Becareful it's hard to get off of.

it should relieve some of your discomfort and pain, so you should feel better than you did before you took it.. it can make you drowsy, too.. if you have taken any opiates(vicodin, norco, oxy contin) in the past, than it should be similar to that..

Methodone is something that they use to ween Herion-adicts off of Heroin. So, you should feel like you're on Heroin, would be my guess. Probably fairly sleepy and numb.
