I wanted to let you know that I've never had this problem but I will ask a friend of mine if he ever has.

Maybe it's wearing off? I get an upset stomach when I go past 6-7 hours.
Hopefully someone else has experienced this - I wonder what your doctor will/would say too.

How long have you been on this med? To be honest, it sounds like a mild case of WD.

It could be a gut reaction to the pain or your pain meds. Pain affects all of us differently. Some people have increased anxiety and others get grumpy. Does your pain meds control your pain pretty much?

Maybe you could try taking an something like an antacid to see if that helps with your stomach. Just call the pharmacist and make sure there would be no interaction with any of the meds you take.
