Hi there & thanks for posting,
Oxycodone/Oxycontin can most definitely cause excessive sweating as a side-effect. I would hazard however, that if you didn't experience these symptoms last summer while taking it after your accident that it's perhaps more likely peri-menopause/menopause, high blood pressure &/or some other undetermined cause. I've noticed that as my body changes, I react differently to certain chemicals, medications & foods. If this issue is really affecting your comfort levels, maybe your Dr. can sort out the cause(s). Good luck & Congrats on your 6 yrs. of recovery! :)
I'd say welcome to menopause.
Thanks for your feedback. I totally forgot about another health issue which is causing abdominal pain, cramp, a few other unpleasant things accompanied with a fever. The doctor ordered a colonoscopy (Yeahhhh!!!) Seriously I should be in the best health ever but you can not stop the hands of father time or mother nature. Who said that fifty is the new thirty? Thanks again for your support and being sober is the best gift I ever gave myself.

Well, as a 49yr old I've recently come to the conclusion that 50 is the new 25. (I'm counting on it ;)
Is the colonoscopy (Yaaay, indeed!) for suspected endo or other suspected uterine issues? A dear friend of mine just had one. Wishing you the best!
i am going to assume that the oxy you are taking is marked with 'OP' on one side??
i have read a lot lately (my doc just put me on those and they do not work at all) and it seems the 'new tamper proof formula' has cancer causing toxins in them. there are several articles online about them causing ulcers and gi problems.
also, the excessive sweating could be withdrawal symptoms. yeah, i know, 'how can i be going through withdrawal while still on them'?
as your tolerance grows, so does the NEED for your body to increase the amount you take. happens to anyone taking long term opiates.
i fell off a roof so i UNDERSTAND your pain. so if going off opiates is not an option, maybe change your meds to something else
