Side Effects for Embeda (morphine sulfate; naltrexone hydrochloride)
Had a bad side effect from this medication. Made me very dizzy and gave me nausea. Took all day to shake the side effects.
EMBEDA (MORPHINE SULFATE; NALTREXONE HYDROCHLORIDE): This medication contains morphine in a long-acting form and naltrexone. It is used to help relieve severe long-term pain (usually lasting longer than a few days). Morphine belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid (narcotic) analgesics. It works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Naltrexone belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid (narcotic) antagonists. It is combined with morphine to prevent crushing/dissolving the medication for abuse/misuse. The highest strength of this drug (100 milligrams per capsule) should be used only if you have been regularly taking moderate to large amounts of opioid pain medication. This strength may cause overdose (even death) if taken by a person who has not been regularly taking opioids. Do not use the extended-release form of morphine to relieve pain that is mild or that will go away in a few days. This medication is not for occasional ("as needed") use.

I have had chronic sinus infections for over 15 years, have had two polyp removal surgeries and have used Levaquin on at least 5 occasions [twice for 30 days prior to surgeries]. I cannot recall any major side effects worth mentioning except maybe loose bowel movements[to be expected with all the damage to the good digestive bacteria] I just finished a 14 days regimen of Avalox and it didnt cure my current infection. I'm about to start a 10-14 day 750mg/day Levaquin treatment and looking forward to it. It has always been successful for me in curing my sinus infections. The real problem is polyps blocking my airways. Bacteria get trapped and cannot drain properly. I have found Levaquin most effective used in conjuction with prednisone. The prednisone targets the inflammation while the levaquin targets the infection. The one-two punch clears me up wonderfully. I dont ever recall any acute tendon or muscle pain, but I am not a very athlethic individual so I dont find my self exerting myself as much as some some may [I'm 6'3" 235 lbs and average build]. I recommend it if nothing else has worked but I too like many peopele an concerned about the long term effect it may have on my bones & tendons. Currently though, Ihave no complaint and am satisfied with the medication. Iwill post an update after my current treatment is done to note any new side effect i may have experienced.

Nightmare poison drug. All the terrible permanent side effects can hit you AFTER YOU STOP TAKING THiS HORRIFIC chemotherapy!!! Started for me after stopping it. Even if you feel ok while you're on your course, it doesn't matter...just wait for the nightmare of your body falling apart and degenerating to begin. It really is THAT bad. Human poison, rot in hell to the makers of this. My life is over because of it.
I was on lower ovcon, doctor switched me to ovcon 50. was having good results on ovcon 50. Moved to arkansas, time for yearly checkup and the new doctor wanted to change me off high dose. Put me on Yasmin. I finished my last pack of Ovcon, started new pack of Yasmin, no breaks, no missed pills. On the ovcon i usually started my "period" on tuesday. Its now wed, on the yasmin of the inactive pills and still no "period". Not pregnant. Is the the change in hormones ????? Still wating
It works. I've taken zyban to quit smoking twice; once several years ago and again just lately. The first time I took the drug, it did work. I quit smoking.I also quit my job and left my wife-to-be to crash across the country.After coming back to and marrying this angry woman, I was cigarette free for a good while. Until we divorced and I started smoking again.So I tried all kind of things to quit smoking again over the last few years, and am finally resorting back to zyban. Again, it works.But I'm getting the same side effects as the first time. I'm starting to suspect zyban works by removing you of all of your motivation; right up to the point where you're not motivated enough to reach for another cigarette, let alone go to work or keep your fat second wife happy. She's on the way out.
I bailed out after 2 months. The constant salt taste in my mouth was too much and scarry.
The first time I took this pill I felt incredibly tired. I also have a back that is out of alignment.. so I feel that most of my problems come from that. I am going to try alt. supplements (magnesium) and save the Imitrex for a last resort thing. Def. not to crazy about the numb face tho! lol
Vioxx was pulled and how is Celebrex different? *Beside who owns them) Both of drugs are co2 inhibitors cause blood platelets to get sticky, resulting in greatly inflated heart attacks and strokes. Try other options.
