For Pain "I have had many back surgeries for degenerated disc disease and was put on Nucynta three days ago. My dose is 50 mg three times a day. It makes me feel high, gives me a severe headache, diarrhea, agitation, insomnia, dizzy, confused, and it only helps for an hour. I was taking methadone 5 mg two times a day, three on bad days, and that worked great, but this doesn't."

For Pain "20 years in the evening for lupus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, and now AVN (avascular necrosis, from steroid use and the SLE). I have been on Exalgo 16 mg, Nucynta 100 mg every 12 hours for breakthrough pain. The Exalgo was sufficient. Nucynta takes pain away for a short time and does make me sleepy, combined with the fatigue from lupus. Once in a while, I get headaches and jittery, don't know if it's from the Nucynta. (Better described like a painful spot in my head instead of a headache)."
