User Reviews for pentazocine-naloxone oral

This medication helped with the pain I was having, but I did experience dizziness while taking it.

Prescribed for foot post-op pain. Violent vomiting 2nd day & nausea after. Quit taking it after 4 days with no noticable change in pain level.

Great, Great Drug. Bad knees and back, It does wonders. I take 3-5 a day and am able to get around somewhat.

I have asked my Doctor to let me try it b/c I am horrified at the war in Afghanistan to protect Poppy fields. I have used Demerol for nearly 7 years w/ no real bad effects. However I was noticing an increase in cranial pressure (w/ the demerol) & swollen eyes the last two scripts I had & just an overall ill feeling. I have only used the Talwin for two days now, but do not feel the cranial pressure like w/ demerol & it seems to be effective,thus fa, for my pain (which is severe pain). Also I had trouble keeping an appetite w/ demerol not so w/ the Talwin..I ate like I had the munchies yesterday!!! LOL so, at this point I am plased w/ it & hope I can encourage others who are using opiates to try it. It is a class four so monthly visits are not necessary to get it ( it can be refilled)...Please people consider our men & women in war & don't contribute to it. Let them keep their poppies....The US has developed this one & it works fine!!!Read More Read Less

it did the job for me! i still perfer hydrocodone over this though.

Have had several back operations. This is about the only one that I can take that does the job.

did not have a bad side effect.i also work and have drug screening i would like to know how long it stays in the system please...

very good

My Dr perscribed this after tylenol 3 had no effect. I took it the first time in the day. Seemed to help with the pain. Then I took before I went to bed. I couldnt sleep at all and when my alarm went off this morning my legs feel as if i drove cross country in the backseat of a gocart. I am more miserable than i was before I took the medication.

Taken for last two weeks for pain in wrist due to proximal row carpectomy. Not really effective, but better than nothing. Have tried Vicodin in past and noted almost no pain relief (torn rotator cuff and bone spur) from it, so tried this.

the pain was still there ,it up set my belly,and made my head feel dizzy didnt like this feeling at all.

I take this med for pain in my feet and have been taking it for a little over a year. Yes, it does taste HORRIBLE,however I take a big sip of water first, then the pill and it seems to do better that way. It takes a little while before it starts working, but it does relieve my pain. I haven't had any side effects from this pill,but I do have to take a Benadryl about 20 or 30 min. beforehand, so it doesn't make me itch. I have to take it before I do anything involving being on my feet. I have found that it really has taken care of the pain,especially at night, so that I can be able to sleep. Read More Read Less

The taste of the pills are horrible, the pain relief is minimal at most, and did i say the taste is horrible. I cannot say it enough that the taste is nauseating enough to feel the pain than throw up. maybe a little dramatic but common they must of figured that out in prelim testing. coat it in cherry or grape they do it all the time, but other than little pain relief and the inconveniences it offers I would of liked to stayed with my previous pain reliever, TramadolXR, it worked it was once a day and ya didn't taste it, I have Arthritis in my lower back and 2 herniated discs in my neck which from day to day causes servere to light pain, weather sleep habit, activity habits ect. also effect pain. but besides going on heavier pain meds Tramadol has done a lot of great things in the almost 9 months using it, only reason I stopped was a developed resistance which is normal so when my resistance subsides I'll gladly resume. Hope it was helpful but stay away you can read in the drug description it try's to stop dependency so it obviosly isn't a great drug.Read More Read Less

I was perscribed this medication for low back pain from arthritis. At the time I was also having pain from a broken wrist which developed into carpal tunnel syndrome. I was given it because I am alergic to most perscribed pain killers. Pills taste TERRIBLE and dissolve in my mouth quicker than I can swallow. I ended up taking one every 4 hours (Rx was 1 evert=y 4-6 hrs) and used up the Rx before time for a refill. When I saw my doc the next time he lowered my dose to 1 every 6 hrs. They were effective for the low back pain but did nothing for the wrist pain. Since I was awakend during the night with the severe wrist pain I would take another (or two) but they still didn't seem to work. Before I noticed it, I had used what was to have been a 3 month supply in 6 weeks. I intend to stop taking them except for the low back pain and use EXACTLY as perscribed. My Medicare Part D plan did not cover them and I really can't afford to pay for them. Read More Read Less

I have had proplems with BM's

I have severe back and leg pain. This medication has worked for years for me, with no ill effects. I had been taking it 3 times per day.

I had a tooth pulled that cracked. I have had other meds that helped on pain but this pentazocine/naloxone does not seem to work. It makes me sleepy is all it does. It was not worth $1.80 a pill. I feel ripped off.
