I was prescribed Oxycontin 60mg Controlled Release Tablets for managing severe, chronic pain. This medicine has been a lifesaver, providing continuous relief for my 12-hour cycle. However, I've experienced some side effects like dizziness and constipation. Has anyone else had similar issues, or are there any tips for managing these side effects? I'm also curious about the long-term effects on sex hormone levels, as I've heard this can be a concern. Any insights from those who have been on this medication for a while?

I've recently been prescribed Warfarin Sod 2.5mg Tablets for a blood clot issue, and I've been reading up on the potential side effects. It's a bit daunting, especially the urgent side effects like severe headache or chest pain.

Additionally, how do you manage the regular INR blood tests? Do you have to go to a lab, or can you do them at home? Also, are the green tablets the same as the others? Any advice on staying safe while on this medication would be greatly appreciated!
