What are the long term side effects of taking prescribed pain-killing medications (opioids) when the patient is using for chronic pain correctly.

Did i permantely damage my brain's structure? Please, i need some medical information on this. I have been looking on the internet but not much exists.
i dont know if these are possible long term effects of the drugs or something else. everyone keeps saying im having anxiety attacks but these feelings come when i am calm and seem very serious. if anyone has any advice on whats going on ,whether drug related or not,, or any advice on good doctors to go to PLEASE let me know immediatly.
BUT, I have to take it or I am in pain. So try not to worry so much about the long term effects when you are trying to survive today.
If you are worried about this I would talk to my doctor and let them know what you are experiencing and there may be something they can do differently. Just dont stop any seizure med without a doctors help.
Hope you feel better..
Probably a bit late for this answer, sorry, but just read this post. I, too am taking hydrocodone amongst other pain relievers for problems I am having with my pregnancy. The doctors do say it is safe, but I understand how scary it is. This is my third pregnancy and I have had the same complications with each (kidneys and SEVERE pain). Just wanted to tell you that despite that I have two very healthy and beautiful children!!
Xanax worked as a temporary relief from anxiety but my doctor wanted me to use Xanax only in an emergency - not a drug for long term use he said as the body gets used to it and unless increased incrementally the positive effects wear off.
Through exercise and four times a year shots in my hip a couple of Aleve now control most of my pain. I still take the hydrocodone at a dose of 7.5mg in the am and half that pill in the pm. ...not only for pain, however, but to relieve my depression.
dont be too scared as said above few people experience sides but one thing is for sure long term use for decades is not healthy and only cirrhosis or severe damaged liver can justify such use so i'd definitely combo with other therapies so that nucs can be used short term

HI and welcome...I can't answer your question on long term use as I too just began oxycodone in March..it took me a few weeks to build up to full strength after that the side effects of drowsiness and brain fog began to wear off, now I feel pretty normal..and yes I too am now able to do some small gardening tasks and many things I hadn't been able to for a few years...I only hope I do not have to keep upping the dosage in order to continue at this level of control(?
Most of us are or were concerned about the long term use of Opiates and the possibility of Addiction. However through education we've learned not to be so frightened. I found a helpful and informative article that I copied to one of my journals. Ppl have found this interesting and helpful also. I hope you will too. Here's the link:

Addiction is far different than Dependancy....

I'm recovering from an abscessed tooth. Mine developed 3 weeks ago and 2 days lator I had to have an Endodonist drain it on an emergency basis because the swelling was already moving up to my eye. I was told to get the tooth extracted because of my medical condition (Type 1 Diabetic). After I got it drained my dentist put me on 4,000mg of Amoxicillin a day becasue I had to get rid of the infection and the swelling had to continue to go down before he extracted the tooth.
