What Causes Vomiting And Chills Upon Switching From Diclofenac To Oxycodone?
I alternate between Oxycodone HCL 5mg PO, TID and Diclofenac Sodium 25mg PO, BID for chronic spinal, bursitis and arthritis issues. Sometimes if I just switch without tapering off of Diclofenac first and the 2nd day of taking Oxycodone then I vomit. Yesterday was the worse because, I vomited 3 X, felt weak, seeing stars, chills, sweats and fatigue. My throat bled because, I vomited so hard and I taste like a waxy taste in my burps. I took a pantoprazole today and feel better. Why does this happen?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with vomiting chills weakness sweat fatigue I am suggesting that you have developed a peptic ulcer disease caused by the intake of diclopenac and oxycodone
In view of this please do an endoscopy to confirm the above condition
Meanwhile in addition pantoprazole take gestid suspension tablet cimetidine
I hope this helps Regards
