HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

All opioids have the potential to cause dizziness and drowsiness, it is a common side effect of this type of medication.

If you wish to avoid these effects, you would need to use a non opioid pain killer such as those in the NSAID family of drugs.

Some of these medications include celebrex, arcoxia, naproxen, ibuprofen, cataflam, aspirin.

It is also possible to combine 2 families of drugs so that you can use lower doses of the medications. There should be decreased side effects if the doses are lower.

I hope this helps
