I've been taking oxycontin (40mg twice a day) for five days now. I have no appetite and feel sick to my stomach a lot of the time. Will this pass as I adjust to the medicine?

Is this what was rx'd to you? Have you spoke to your doctor about your symptoms?

Yes - this has been prescribed. Actually, today has been somewhat better.

If it upsets your stomach, take it on a full stomach or with milk.

My mother was on oxycontin for three years. Once she withdrew, she was never the same. This drug has serious permanent side effects. She has been disabled from it for four years. Even her hair hurts and her bowel system has no motility (nerve damage). I would reconsider taking this drug.
