Pain Medication and Agitation

Does pain medicine make anybody else agitated. It is almost like I get super sensitive. Something as simple as the sound of my dog drinking from his water bowl makes me want to scream. I am not normally a b%%%h, but when I take a pain medication it is like I turn into one.

It doesn't matter which medication I take. I have the same agitation with Nucynta that I did with medications in the Codeine family.
Anybody else?

  1. Hi! Wow, I have the same experience. I take percocet often for my pain. I’m in pain management. When I take my Percocet, I get ultra sensitive. I have two small dogs (my babies), and when I’m on my medication I get super sensitive. It’s even gotten to the point of ruining my relationships. I’m with you, my percocet gives me “the feels”. Sending love to you, Warrior 🎗

    1. I don’t personally experience this but someone close to me does! It’s terrible that something that is supposed to help and make life better causes more issues instead! Thank you so much for sharing. Big hugs! Amber (endometriosis.net team moderator)
