What Causes Dizziness While On Medication For Ankylosing Spondylitis?
I took 1 10-325 mg of Percocet and one 100 mg of Nucynta. Was told it was okay to do for breakthrough pain. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis. Have been on Fentanyl, Percocet, and Lortab. Body is used to these meds (unfortunately). I haven t been loopy for many years for these med. But I am feeling really really dizzy and loopy right now pulse is 73 bmp. I am afraid to fall asleep because I don t want my heart to stop. What is your opinion?

Hello,
Thank you for asking your question at healthcare magic
Both Percocet and Nucynta contain opioid (narcotic) medication.If you are feeling dizziness,drowsiness and uneasiness after taking this medication ,you need to definitely go the emergency room ,as it can be symptoms of potential overdosing.
How ever you should not drive/attempt to go by yourself.Either have someone take you to the hospital or call 911
Hope I was able to help you
Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
