I've been prescribed Oxycodone/acetaminophen 10-325mg tb for severe back pain and I'm really struggling with the side effects. Has anyone else had issues with this medication? I'm experiencing a lot of dizziness and stomach pain. I've tried taking it with food but I'm still feeling awful. Any advice on how to manage these side effects would be greatly appreciated. Also, how do you guys deal with the constipation? I'm on day 3 and it's getting pretty bad. I'm worried about the long-term effects. It's a powerful medication, but I'm not sure if the benefits outweigh the risks. I'm considering talking to my doctor about alternative pain management options.
