I was recently prescribed Oxycodone 20mg Immediate Release tablets for severe pain, but I'm a bit worried and curious about the possible side effects and risks. I know it's a strong painkiller, but the list of possible side effects is scary, and the doctor didn't really get into much detail. Have any of you had experience with this medication and possible side effects? What should I be watching out for?

Why do they always seem to tell you to take these medications with food? It's like, no shit, I'm not taking these and throwing up! Lol.

I had a friend who took this and ended up in the hospital with breathing problems. It's scary stuff. Definitely talk to your doctor about the risks and make sure you understand them.

I took Oxycodone to manage pain after a surgery, and it made me so sleepy and disoriented. I felt like I was in a daze the whole time. Be careful and don't overdo it.

Serotonin syndrome is no joke. If you're taking any other meds, make sure to check with your doctor to avoid this. It's not worth the risk.

I can't believe how many people are held on opioids for chronic pain when there are other safer options. But if you're on it, really watch for the side effects and constantly communicate with your doctor.
