Side effects:: Feeling of disconnection, Feeling medicated and distant

Date: Sep 30, 2009
Advice & Tips: I have decided to stop the Kadian and seek alternative health care. My pain management doctor does not get it.
Cost: $100-199 monthly

Date: Sep 09, 2009
Advice & Tips: I prefer the pain to the way this drug affects me. Very toxic feeling.
Cost: $100-199 monthly

Date: Aug 23, 2009
Advice & Tips: I'm sure this drug is effective as a pain reliever for some people, but for me, I'd rather feel less medicated and more myself... with a positive outlook... I don't know what the answer is. I am going to ask the doctor at my next appointment if there are any alternatives.
Cost: $100-199 monthly

Date: Aug 09, 2009
Advice & Tips: My pain doctor is adamant about me not taking hydrocodone. He said that it is going to be taken off the market due to abuse and side-effects. Unfortunately this drug worked very well for me and in 3 years of taking it, I never increased my dose... and often times took less than I was prescribed. I have not been taking Kadian long enough to be able to assess it but my doctor said that in the long run it is the better drug of the two. I don't want to damage my body any more than it already is so I will follow the doctor's advice.
