Is anyone on these med's?? - Pain Management Message Board

Tramadol (Ultram) for pain, and
Hydroxyzine for nausea.
The doctor's don't want me on oxycontin anymore
because it's a narcotic, well it was making me
sick anyway i guess.
Well i am going thru the horrible withdrawl! :-(
Today i went in to see the doctor and my blood pressure is high (it has NEVER, EVER been high) and I have a fever and my pupils are dilated the doctor said, indicating that i'm going thru withdrawl being that i haven't been on oxycontin for awhile.
I am sooooooo hoping that this ultram helps with my pain and that hydroxyzine helps with the nausea.

I may be mistaken, but is hydroxyzine not a rocket proppellant that has been used in medical circles as a medication? Hope you make out ok.

??? I don't get what you mean??
The hydroxyzine (Vistaril) is for nausea
and other things.
I get so sick it seems with any kind of med's
that i take that my primary doctor told me
to try this.
Please explain tho what you meant on what you
said, I didn't understand it! haha ;-) Kim

I've never heard of this anti-nausea medication...They've given me phenergan quite a bit for nausea/vomitting and hyoscamine for abdominal cramping... As far as Ultram goes, I've never taken it, but I hope it works for you. Unfortunately for me, my doctors just think I'm a dumb kid who likes to complain.. Apparently that's why it took them 5 years to figure out my gallbladder needed to come out. But obviously after 2 years, I'm still having problems with that. I've also had headaches since I was a baby, and I mean BAD headaches, that the doctors just ignore. They've never even done tests to find out why I have always had these horrible headaches... And then all my back problems I've had and still having, I don't get anything except Ibuprofen 800 and all it does is make my stomach bother me worse. Hopefully soon I'll get through to them. I've already changed doctors several times.. None are sympathetic, and they don't seem to ever want to refer me to anyone else.. The only GOOD doctor I have is my Ear,nose,throat doctor because he actually listens to me, and gives ME the choices to make about my body.. I'm actually scheduled for surgery to have a lymph node removed behind my ear on the 20th, which is actually why I joined these health boards in the first place, although no one knows much about this surgery to give me an idea of what to expect. Well I wish you the best, and hopefully you get through your withdrawls and get some greatly needed relief, and hopefully I will too soon.

P.S. Sorry for babbling so much, I just wanted to let you know what's up with me a little bit. If you have any advice for me, it'd be greatly appreciated also.. Good luck!

well--went and did a search on the hydroxyzine. It usually is prescribed for itching, skin rash hives, etc. It is also used for anxiety. I thought that this was a relatively new drug derived from rocket fuel--believe it or not---but I may be wrong. Dunno why you are on it. Maybe just try 100mgs gravol at night before bed--it makes you drowsy and will relax you and your stomach---I use it daily for nausea. Talk to your doctor and arm yourself with info. Its all on the web for the looking. Good Luck.
