I have been on it for a couple months now due to having surgery and then one month later having a car accident. Works pretty well although I have to take Morphine IR 15mgs every 6 hours for breakthrough pain. I've been really happy, though it does make me cry at the drop of a hat and I still have some pain, some days are good some or not. I'm going to begin physical therapy in about 3 w ...

I'm going to begin physical therapy in about 3 weeks so I am hopeful :)

I have been in PM for 4 years, My old Dr retired and I was sent to a new Dr. This new Dr. put me on the Embeda and was tapering my BT meds.He said to me and infront of my husband he didnt like narcotics,(why be in pm then?)He spoke directly with my old Doc on taking over his Pts and will continue the Pts Pm meds, This med is VERY BAD!!! with the 1st dose, it thru me into W/D, I take my meds as directed! tried to take it for a month, it was perscribed 3x/day but due to the bad SE, I had to stop taking it. I had very bad itching, constipation, severe HA that made me feel my BP was up, I informed my PM Doc but he said to take a Benadryl with it, OMG!I am a Nurse and knew it was an reaction, and for the Dr. to say this?, needless to say, I am quiting PM with him, and am going thru w/d right now to get off this crap he is dealing out. I believe he is getting kickbacks because he wouldnt change the med. I probably would have died if I took the Benadryl with the Embeda due to it also amking me very drowsey. I have read that a Pt should not ake BT meds with Embeds due to serious or even fatal SE.I also have hpothyroidism and believe that was contrubiting to the release of the Naltrexone in my body/slow matabolism, but that Doc didnt consider that when perscribing the Embeda, and it is a contraindication on the imprint, so that is also why I think he is getting kickbacks, The Docs only education onmeds is thru the Drug Reps, I have seen this 1st hand! I am in bad pain but dont want this feeling of w/d all the time and possibility of dying.

I've been on many different narcotics, long- and short-acting, including oxycontin and methadone. And although something like a 30mg roxicodone will relieve acute pain better than the embeda, the roxicodone only lasts an hour or two, and I get a crash afterwards. The embeda keeps me close to pain-free around the clock. I am waking up in the morning pain-free for the first time in a long whi ... Show Full Comment

And although something like a 30mg roxicodone will relieve acute pain better than the embeda, the roxicodone only lasts an hour or two, and I get a crash afterwards. The embeda keeps me close to pain-free around the clock. I am waking up in the morning pain-free for the first time in a long while. I still need a 10mg percocet or something every once in a while, but the embeda helps significantly. I am on 60mg 2x daily. This is my first experience with morphine in any formulation.
