Weakness from taking painkillers.

Hello friends!In two weeks PLUVICTO! In the meantime, I've been taking pain pills while waiting for the term for a month and a half. I think they are making me very weak. Can anyone from personal experience advise painkillers that have less effect on energy and do not lead to total weakness. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Your bio says a few weeks ago you changed from Abiraterone to Xtandi. Fatigue is listed as one of the main side effects of Xtandi at the site: xtandi.com/side-effects

Thank you. But my question was about something else. I'm very weak from taking painkillers all the time.

I was taking hydromorphone for 6 months, and then I just stopped. And I never felt that the painkiller was associated with fatigue as such.

I e been taking both Vicodin and Dilaudid for over 6 years, both make me WAY more energetic and active. I slump and get sleepy when they wear off.
