Embeda (morphine / naltrexone) for Chronic Pain "I only took this medication 3 days because of the awful side effects I endured. The feeling of nervousness, unclear thinking. It was as if I were stuck in my body and my heart racing, which made me feel as if I could not breathe. I also broke out in a cold sweat and felt cold. During this same time, I started having tingling sensations in my right arm into my fingers. I did not associate this with the medication until I read other reviews. I had many of the side effects listed. The medication seemed to help with my pain some, but because of the horrible feelings, it wasn't a positive medication for me. I even took it again, thinking maybe I was overreacting or in my head."

Embeda (morphine / naltrexone) for Chronic Pain "Embeda, along with another similar drug, Targin (Oxycodone/Naloxone), that are starting to be prescribed like crazy in this “era of junkies,” are almost worthless. I say almost because they are decent at controlling off-label opiate-induced constipation. If at all possible, just avoid this drug. Do NOT let your doctor prescribe it to you because once they do, you're stuck with it. Do NOT take the 9-10 reviews seriously, as most likely they are drug reps or paid companies. (Just look for zero side effects and the words “perfect,” “best,” etc.). No drug that is made to help cancer and chronic pain patients should even have the CHANCE to induce life-threatening withdrawal! The naloxone WILL affect the system of opiate-tolerant users. Those that don’t understand, all those headaches and anxiety, pains, and restlessness are due to you taking a drug with another drug in it that completely blocks its effectiveness. I pray for the future of chronic pain and cancer sufferers. Also, it’s crazy expensive."
