Possible to dump on pain meds?



Recommended Posts

I was a little cold and I was starting to hurt a little so I took a dose of my pain medication (hydrocodone with acetaminophen) and within like two minutes my face got flushed and my heart started beating more quickly and I got really hot like a hot flash. Now that I think of it it's been happening every time I take it. Could that be dumping? Or is it something different like related to the narcotic? It passes in like 10 minutes.

I think it is a reaction to the pain meds. I doubt it is dumping.

When I took the liquid pain meds I always got a rush feeling. Always call your doctor and let them know.

I learned the hard way that if you drink them too fast you can get the flush/rush feeling. Remember we are supposed to be sipping all liquids. I learned the hard way that you can not "down" the medicine anymore. After doing it like a shot 2 or 3 times I realized that I needed to sip the disgusting tasting medicine and it went much more smothly. I hope this helps.

Honestly I do sip it takes me like 10 minutes to drink it and it's less than 30 ml. I think it just messes with me but right now I'm nauseous from my Vitamins and they haven't been bothering me at all so I guess I'm just a weirdo. One day I'm crying hysterically but have no physical problems the next I seem fine emotionally but everything I take makes me feel ugh yucky....

There is no way it could be dumping from painkillers...there's no calories, fat, or sugar! Painkillers DO cause the type of side effects you described though if their is an intolerance. Maybe you could try sticking with straight Tylenol? Narcotics tend to produce some nasty side effects for some people.

I would call your doctor. About the symptoms and for the nausea with taking the Vitamins. Every doc is different, but my first week was nothing but drink your Water and if you feel up to it some Soup broth.< /p>

No problem! Maybe you are having a sensitivity to the painkillers. I would ask your doctor if you can take Tylenol instead, so you don't have to deal with the side effects of the painkillers :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
