For Chronic Pain "My doctor changed my medicine from hydrocodone to this. Does not alleviate my pain. Makes me feel lightheaded a little for an hour. Cannot sleep or get any relief from the pain. This medicine is supposed to be stronger than hydrocodone. I suspect there is very little oxycodone in these tablets, not 5 mg as stated. My daughter, who has access to a spectroanalyzer in her lab, is going to compare this medicine with a similar brand. As for myself, I can tell you this is either one of those taper drugs or just plain junk."

For Pain "This is the only narcotic for pain that does not cause nausea for me. It does make me lightheaded after 20 minutes of taking, and for a few hours after. There is no way I could drive the first 3-4 hours after taking this. I'm currently taking this short term for a pinched nerve."

For Pain "I take 2 x 5 mg pills for kidney stones. It's like morphine, it will make you lightheaded and dizzy. Constipation is a problem with this medicine too."
