Well your dr is probably right about suppressing your appetite. If you been on them for awhile the nausea part usually subsided. Although if you continue taking them I would take with a small snack or meal thirty minutes before taking your pain meds. Some ppl can wean their selves off by just taking one pill out of their daily routine for a week or so then taking out another after another eeek or so, whatever works for you. Some ppl have their drs help to wean them off maybe at a lesser mg after a bit then a smaller mg after that til your off. It prevents withdraw symptoms. Unfortunately I have not found any meds that help with pain like hydrocodone or ocycodone does. Gabapentin makes me lathargetic and feel weird. Meloxicam didn’t help enough to make an impact. Creams, ointments, cbd, kratom all no positive effects on ridding me of my pain. I take ibuprofen to help with inflammation with a tramadol when I’m trying to cut back on anything else. Then I just cut down on my mobility to help prevent any additional pain spells. I sure hope you find something to help you. I will be lifting you up in prayer if you
