So, I've been prescribed Endocet for some pretty intense pain, and I'm freaking out about the side effects and risks. I mean, it's got a whopping 5mg of oxycodone and 325mg of acetaminophen. That's a lot of drug power for my tired body to handle. I've heard horror stories about opioids. Should I just tough it out and avoid the risk? I'm particularly worried about the breathing problems and addiction. Does anyone have experience with this stuff? Did your doctor give you any tips to manage the side effects? How do you even know if you're experiencing something serious? Help, fellow redditors!

I've been prescribed Celecoxib 50mg Capsules for chronic pain, but I'm really concerned about the serious side effects mentioned, like cardiovascular issues and severe skin reactions. Has anyone here had any bad experiences with this medication? How do you manage the risks? I want to make sure I'm informed before I start taking it.
