Talwin Nx and Oxycodone

[lesnbek]

I went to the Dr to discuss my Lyme Disease and Hysterectomy. I also need to see if he could take over my pain management because I needed to be adjusted on my meds. Needing something stronger or something that lasts longer. My Rheumatologist wrote my normal 180 script for 120 this time and i just picked up script. I have app on 8th. Im all stressed because not only did i just find out what has been wrong with me for over 10 years but i have to get hysterectomy this month because i cant handle the pain. I wanted to have tests done first to see if there was any chance i could conceive one day but noone wants to manage my pain and i have no other option. Anyway Dr gives me a medicine i inject B12 weird-and gives me talwin nx- for pain to take with my oxycodone to help my pain more and tells me if i go to pain clinic and the call him he will prescribe what they say.
I am confused this talwin has naloxone in it- i am about to research it but i believe that is what they use to reverse overdose effects. Can i take this with my oxycodone to take the pain away or can i take them and not have to take oxycodone-or is this a medicine that will make me go through withdraws when on oxycodone. PLEASE WHAT IS THIS MED ABOUT

Hi Again Lesnbek,

I responded to the more informational thread you posted on the Pain Couch. As I said Talwin and Oxycodone should not be taken together.

And again Talwin is not used used to reverse the effects of opiates. However Talwin NX  has Naloxone included in this combination to prevent the misuse of the narcotic ingredient. Naloxone and pentazocine may also be used for other purposes. You should discuss this with your physician and pharmacist. I am surprised that the pharmacist did not question why this was ordered with the percocet.

But there are no physicians here nor experts and you should follow the advice of your physican after you have clarified this prescription order.

Please let us know what you discover from your physician. We will look forward to your updates.

Take Care,
Tuck

You should not take the Talwin and oxycodone together. Did the same doctor prescibe both of these medications because the talwin will as you say send you into withdrawel from the oxycodone. It is my belief that these two drugs are NOT to be taken together.
In my pamplet from my doctors office it clearly says do not take Talwin or drugs in that class when taking oxycodone.
I would call your doctor in the morning and do not take these drugs together until you talk with him because like I said they are not to be taken together. Your doctor may have something else in mind when giving you both of these medications but I can't think what he would be thinking.
Please make sure you talk your doctor before taking thesde medications together.
