Discussions tagged “Oxymorphone ER”

I was recently prescribed Oxymorphone ER 40mg tablets for managing severe, persistent pain. The doctor emphasized the importance of taking it exactly as prescribed, given its strong opioid nature and potential risks. I've read through the possible side effects and I'm a bit worried. Has anyone else taken this medication long-term? What has your experience been like? How do you manage the side effects, particularly the constipation and drowsiness, if they occur? Also, what should I do if I notice any of the urgent side effects listed, such as allergic reactions or serotonin syndrome? Should I go straight to the ER or call my doctor first? Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!
