Possible to dump on pain meds?

[Jessica9190 127]

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.

Seriously? No replies? Who do I ask if my RNY forum doesn't know? lol

Ummmm I honestly have no clue but I would definitely give your surgeon a call and ask! Good Luck!

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

K thanks it's just a weird feeling and I didn't know.

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'm sorry I didn't know.

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
