What Causes Diarrhea And Nausea While On Tramadol And Oxycodone Acetaminophen?
I had knee replacement 4 weeks ago and have been on a regimen of oxycodone acetaminophen 5-325 and tramadol hcl 50 mg taking 2 alternating every 3-4 hours. PT is starting to relax a little so I quit taking them 24 hours ago. I now have upset stomach, sweating, diareaha and nausea and dry heaves. Is this caused by trying to get off the medications too quickly.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think that your symptoms can be related to oxycodone withdrawal.
I suggest you to take :
-an over the counter option for diarrhea like Imodium
-use probiotics daily
-use acetaminophen for stomach upset
-use plain food,avoid spicy food,caffeine and alcohol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
