Endone

Is anyone taking Endone (for pain) and what side effects are you experiencing?
My Oncologist prescribed me Endone for shoulder blade pain. I didn’t take it because a friend who had hip surgery had hallucinations when she was on it. As it so happened, the pain went away when I had T11 tumour ‘radiated’. That was last July. Now I have pain in my ribs so I got a ‘script from my GP yesterday for Panadeine Forte in case it’s a just a pulled muscle. But if it isn’t and PF doesn’t work (it did when I pulled a muscle last time), I’d like to know what to expect if Oncologist suggests Endone when I see her in two weeks. Naturally if PF kicks in before then I won’t need it.

It doesn't work for every sort of pain (for me) but if I get into what I call a 'pain loop'--where I get tenser and more anxious and make things worse for myself--it is enough to relax me and break the cycle.
I was given a prescription for endone by my dentist a while ago - in case of pain given a particular procedure. I never needed it and didn’t take any, but still have the prescription. Reading here about hallucinations, I looked up the manufacturer’s info. Yes it can cause hallucinations but also should not be taken by anyone with an irregular heartbeat! A reminder that a dentist doesn’t have your medication record in front of them! When in doubt, check with your doctor or go to the manufacturer’s printed information. Many thanks.
I think you just need to try it for yourself.
Everyone is so different. No hallucinations. I had some nausea.
I was prescribed anti-nausea drugs to take if needed.
Try the Endone, perhaps when you are home with someone. If you are worried re hallucinations.
There are other drugs too, that can be prescribed.
All the best.
