For Chronic Pain "I have been taking this medicine for only a few days now and have noticed some things that have me very concerned because it was given for pain, but I have been experiencing major side effects. The first thing that started was headaches, then depression, nausea, stomach aches, feeling of swelling of my legs, feet, ankles, hands, and it feels like I'm retaining fluid all over my body. I didn't have these side effects when I was taking Morphine without the extra ingredient like the Embeda has and now I am worried that I am going to be in severe pain as this medication does very little for my pain."

For Chronic Pain "I have been taking this medicine for several months now, and I have noticed some things that have occurred, which is making me very scared because it is messing with my body in a very bad way! The first thing that started was the headaches, then the rest started showing up daily, like depression, nausea, stomach aches, swelling of my legs, feet, ankles, and hands. It's like I'm retaining fluid all over my body, blurred vision, nosebleeds! I haven't read up on the side effects yet, but I'm sure I'm not going to be surprised if it's on the list. I didn't have these side effects when I was taking Morphine without the extra ingredient like the Embeda has, and now my insurance will only pay for this medication, and it costs $1300 a month!"

For Chronic Pain "The Embeda seemed to help my pain but has caused me to have horrible stomach problems. Bloating, gas, belching, stomach distention. I hope this goes away. Not taking this ever again!!"
