A member asked:
Do most people who take oxycontin experience severe side effects, like nausea?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Oxycontin is essentially extended release form of oxycodone which is a very powerful narcotic medicine. Almost all narcotics can cause some nausea. This is not necessarily a unique characteristic of oxycontin. Most of these side effects abate over time for patients who need to take the medicine on a long-term basis.

Some: Adverse effects like nausea and sedation are seen in some by not all patients given Oxycontin (and evey other opioid).
