For Chronic Pain "I have been on Embeda for just 1 month, and at first, it was rough, constantly hurting and withdrawing, extremely tired, headaches. Now I guess things are starting to level off, but the headaches persist, but my pain is finally under control with the Embeda 30-1.2 once a day and Percocet 10 mgs 3 times a day for breakthrough pain. I have degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis in both knees, fibromyalgia, and lupus. I'm hoping I can soon get my life back. I'm grateful for the not-high feeling, and the most important thing is I'm not constantly in pain anymore, so my depression is getting better and I don't have to use the Percocet as much. Now if the headaches leave and the overtired feeling would leave, I will 100 percent."

For Chronic Pain "This med has worked a lot better than the 10 mg Percocet 4 x daily that I was on before. I take 10 mg Percocet cut in half twice daily with the Embeda, it helps while the med has a slow uptake. The first week or so, I was a little bit dizzy and tired. That went away, and I have no complaints. The meds work. The Narcan in the pills doesn't bother me or affect the way the meds work for me. I have had bad back problems for 25 years. My S spine and my L spine are separated on the right side 4 mm, and the L spine is pushed forward 2 mm. I have had chronic pain half of my life due to this injury. This medicine really helps."

For Pain "Great pain medication. I was on morphine immediate release 6 15 mg a day, am on Embeda 20 mg and now take 2 immediate release. The immediate release was not working for me at all, now I have great pain control. As for feeling tired, etc., took the medicine for at least a week, all those side effects went away for me."

For Chronic Pain "I had been on Avinza, then insurance changed it to generic about 8 months ago. The option was Embeda. Wow, what a change! Took 2 months to adjust, now the pain level is tolerable, just whacked out of my head, no energy, just don't want to do anything but lay around. The main problem is interaction, it's just not compatible with a lot of medications, including Toradol and allergy medication. I would normally take some 10-325 hydrocodones, but the combination is terrible. Where I live, smoking weed is legal, and it interacts, which tells me this product needs to go. It's the worst med I've had. I'm getting off it for good, it's not a good medication, and long-term, I hate to think what it's doing to me."
