Oxymorphone ER 30mg Tablets: Managing Severe Pain, Side Effects, and Long-Term Use

I've been prescribed Oxymorphone ER 30mg Tablets for managing severe, persistent pain. It's been a life changer for me. I'm learning to manage the side effects and understand the risks. This medication is an extended-release opioid, which means it releases the medicine slowly over 12 hours. It's crucial to understand that this isn't for 'as needed' pain or for post-surgery unless you are already taking opioids regularly. I wanted to start a thread to discuss our experiences, side effects, and any tips or advice we might have for each other. I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced some of the more serious side effects or how to navigate the challenges of long-term use.

Just started using Hydrocortisone 1% Ointment for my eczema flares. Has anyone experienced serious side effects?

Hi everyone, I was prescribed Hydrocortisone 1% Ointment 28gm for my eczema, which has been flaring up lately. I've heard it can cause some serious side effects, which makes me a bit nervous. I've read it can help with redness, itching, and swelling, which would be great. But I'm worried about the potential for allergic reactions, high blood sugar, or even Cushing's syndrome – those symptoms sound scary. Has anyone else had any bad experiences with this? How did you deal with the side effects and how long did it take for you to recover? I'm curious to hear from others who've used it, especially those who experienced any of the more serious side effects listed.

Cyclomydril Ophth Solution 2ml: Why Does My Doctor Want Me To Use It?

My doctor prescribed me Cyclomydril Ophth Solution 2ml for an upcoming eye exam. I've never heard of this medication before and I'm a bit nervous. The side effects listed on the information sheet are quite scary. I'm not sure what to expect from using Cyclomydril. Has anyone had experience using this solution for an eye exam? It's called for dilating my pupils and relaxing the muscle in my eye, but I'd like to hear from someone who has gone through it. Also, if I do experience some of the other side effects that are not immediately life threatening, but still concerning, is it okay to call the nurse's line at my doctor's office? Or do I need to go in for an appointment?
