I was recently prescribed Exalgo 12mg Tablets for managing severe chronic pain. The doctor explained that it's an extended-release opioid designed to release hydromorphone slowly over 24 hours, making it suitable for around-the-clock pain management. However, the possible side effects listed are quite alarming. I've read about allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, and even thoughts of self-harm or suicide. I'm feeling a bit scared and want to know if anyone else has had similar experiences or can share some insights. How effective has it been for you? What side effects have you dealt with, and how did you manage them? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
