OxyContin

Like Toradol, an EXTREMELY effective painkiller. Very useful for older patients who are not only often living in chronic pain, but also depressed, anxious, and becoming demented. Discomfort is known to cause many of the problems of nursing home patients, which in turn create ethical problems for staff, and then society in general. Neurologists seem to believe that oxycontin will exacerbate dementia and delirium; however we have seen the EXACT opposite. It appears to improve cognition because,... View full comment

This is a horrible drug that caused all kinds of side effects and made me miserable for the last 2 years. Started taking it due to gastritis from NSAIDS. Tried Pepcid first but got acid breakthrough after 1 month. Tried 10 mg capsules of Omeprazole, but they had a nasty aftertaste. Bumped up to 20 mg, then 40 mg. Constant bloating and abdominal pains. Started to get acid reflux a month later. Tried several times to taper off Omeprazole, but the acid rebound was incredible. Tried Nexiu... View full comment
