I took 2 hydrocodones 3 weeks before I took a hair follicle test this past Monday. I am aware that this shows a 90 day time period on the test. My question is whether this will show up on a standard 5 panel hair test, or whether the additional extended opiates test is necessary for detection? ## Did you pass? ## I take methadone and have prescription for it,and I take it just like it's prescribed but I remembered that hydrocodone use to help me with sex so I thought since my methadone dose is so low 25mg a day that if I took hydrocodone it might help me out with sex so I took 7 of my wife's Norco's all the same day about a month ago ,it didn't help ,but now I have a hair follicle test coming up in about a week so it'll be like 4 to 6 weeks since I took them, so if I ...

I have taken Hydrocodone 10/500 for years on and off. Not dependent. The worst side effect was head itching. tolerable. I was off and recently prescribed 10/325. The itching is head to toe unbearable. I have scars from scratching. It lasts for days with very little help from Benadryl 50 mg. every 6 hours. My doctor said Oxycodone 10/325 will be better. I took it after a meal. One to two hours later I am very nauseous. 3-4 hours latter headache and intense itching. 13 hours later I still feel sick from it. When I need pain medication I need it badly. I can't suffer in bed all the time. Help please. what are my alternatives? ## Hello, Bon! How are you? There are quite a few others available, such as Opana, Dilaudid, Fentanyl and Morphine. The FDA lists all of these as being narcotic a...

the bottle says hydrocodone bitartrate cyclobenzaprine hcl on it. 5/ 5mg. What is this? ## White capsule no markings...ibuprofen??? ## As to the original poster, since that is not a standard medication that's available in the U.S., there is a chance it was special ordered by someone's doctor and created for them by a compounding pharmacy. They frequently use unmarked capsules. The FDA warns that, if those are the ingredients it contains, it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Gary, most Ibuprofen comes in tablet form. Do you know anything else about it, such as its origins? ## Hello, I had a group of family members stay with me for a week and I found a white capsule without any markings in the ro...

Please tell me if watson has a white 10/325?? I only had the yellow one's.. Are they real? ## Actually, Watson has recently been removing the dye from many of their tablets, due to people being allergic or sensitive to them. Thus, several of their products are now white. However, if you received it from an approved U.S. pharmacy and it has the same markings, then it is still the correct medication. Learn more Lortab details here. You should be aware, however, that there have also been reports from some that they don't seem to work the same and aren't as effective. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yes they are white now. I just had to call the pharmacy to make sure I was given the right prescription. ## JG are they working fine for you? I have my white now, and I do...

I am trying to find this product in Phoenix Arizona. No one so far carries it. Its a oval white pill with 3604V printed on it. Google says it made by Qualitest. I've tried Walgreen's, Walmart, CVS, and Fry's. The pill has little red specks on it. If I could find that certain pill I'd really appreciate it because it does not make me sick to my stomach like the other brands. Thanks. ## There is really no way to know which pharmacy might have it in stock, generally the generic they carry can vary depending on who was offering the cheapest price, via their distributor, at the time they needed to restock their supply. Some place might list is under UDL Laboratories, since that is a licensed distributor for the manufacturer. NDC code: 51079-0777 Inactive ingredients may includ...

DUE TO ILLNESS AND HOSPITALIZATION my Dr has taken a leave of absence from practice cancelled all appointments and refused any refills. I am only on hydrocodone 10mg 5x daily. This left me with nothing no refill to find a new dr or anything someone please help!!!! ## If you require such medications on a long-term ongoing basis for the treatment of pain, due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you'll need to see a pain management specialist. Finding a new general practice doctor to prescribe this just isn't very likely, at all, now. Are there any in your area? ## I'm looking for a doctor who is open to prescribing suboxone, or subutex for back pain in southern Indiana. ## I would SUE! He got you admitted to them by prescribing u the medications, So he sho...

2172 pills from Walgreens are not any where near Watson 3202. Don't relieve pain and will give you a headache. I tried to tell the pharmacist but they said that is what they shipped. This is what I have to deal with, *****s. ## There's actually been several complaints here recently on these newer 2172 pills. Since they're generic, my guess is that the percentage of active ingredients are probably less than other manufacturer's versions. Not to mention the different binders/fillers that affect bioavailability or cause unwelcome side effects. It's a shame that pharmacies always go for the cheapest offer they can get and care nothing about quality control for their loyal customers/patients who have to rely on this medication. The entire healthcare sector and our economy...

Is this OK to use for serviear headache/migraine? ## I don't remember why this was prescribed to me as I have multiple medical problems & get bad headaches I read something saying this was for pain? But headaches I don't no? Thanks in advance ## Hi dracey, Sorry to hear about the terrible headaches. However I do want to clarify that "IP 190 500" represents the markings of a 500mg Naproxen tablet, and "NOT" Hydrocodone as you may have originally thought. Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, but it is also a commonly used remedy for treating migraine headaches. I don't know how its overall efficacy compares to other possible treatment options, however, many patients do report that it works well for such conditions. More specific details invol...

white oval ## I had a toohache when I was in Mexico and this is what the Fharmica people gave me. ## There is a white oval with WATSON 853 on it, so I am wondering if that was what they received and were asking about? I'd love if someone posted back and let me know. The WATSON 853 tablet contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Vicodin, which is a narcotic pain reliever. As such, it may be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation. You can learn more Vicodin details here. The only pill with a 512 marking that I'm aware of is round, white, with a score line on the opposite side and it contains 5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Percocet. It is...

I came across a yellow, oval pill with watson 353. What is this pill? ## its hydrocodone..750mg.. Similar to a vicodin or norco. ## Joe, not only is your post ridiculous, Hydrocodone does not even come in that high of a dosage. ## Watson 353 This is Pronolol 90mgs, a generic for the Beta-blocker Inderal. ## Yes it does come in that high of a dose. I've been prescribed it several times after surgery. Where are you getting your info? ## First of all hydrocodone does not come in 750 mg. You are thinking of 7.5 mg. There's 5 mg, 7.5 mg and 10 mg. Watson 353 on a yellow pill is hydrocodone/acetaminophen. Hydrocodone being 10 mg. Acetaminophen being 325 mg. Otherwise known as a Norco. These are amazing. High does of hydrocodone and low dose of acetaminophen. 10 mg is the most potent f...

My mom just got her pain medicine and it says A 40 on it and I can't find an image anywhere so I can make sure they're ok to take. ## If your mom just got her prescription filled at a licensed pharmacy, she should have received it in a normal prescription bottle with a label attached. I find it very alarming that this information would be absent. I did locate a white capsule-shaped pill marked with "A 40" that reportedly contains a combination of Acetaminophen (325mg) + Hydrocodone bitartrate (10mg), made by KVK-Tech. NDC: 10702-0191 Do you happen to know the color and shape of the pill in question? ## I got the same pill i found in my car did you find out what it is?

I just wanted to know how much hydrocodone is in the Watson 353 pill? Is it 5 mg, 7.5mg or 10mg? ## Hello DeeDee, Unfortunately I was unable to find any pill imprinted with Watson 353, however, just in case you accidentally misinterpreted the imprint I did find a Watson 853 hydrocodone 10mg pill.

I was put on Hydrocodone for 3 years due to a stroke I had. My pain is coming from the brain. The PM'S started me off with 5-325. No results on the pain. Then they increased the dose 7.5-325. Some relief but not much in order to have a quality of life. Then they increased it to 10-325 90 per month. In the wee hours of the morning I would wake up with pain, so I was cutting one in half, leaving me short of pills for the month. So they increased it to 120. I got to where I was taking too many and the PM discharged me for a breach of contract. Then I found another PM. Same thing happened, but this time instead of discharging me they put me on week to week basis - 21 pills a week. I had to visit the doctor's office once a week and then take the script to my pharmacy. Once I proved I...

My mother gets norco 5 mg for her ms. For some reason when she got them this month they say 44 334. I'm concerned my brother stole the actual medication and replaced it with these pills. Are there such norcos that say this? ## First of all, no there is no Norco, or any other prescription medication with such a marking, the 44 following by 3 additional numbers are over the counter medications manufactured by LNK International and they do not manufacture any prescription products. I believe the marking you are looking at is 44 445 and they list it as containing 500mgs of Acetaminophen, which is a generic, or store brand of Tylenol. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, and headache. Is there anything else I can help with? ## The person that sa...

I have been taking Hydrocodone 5-325 s, by mallinckrodt for a few years now for back pain , they work really well, I take 2 at a time . My pharmacist switched to Qualitest and it was a nightmare . I took one of those and had a migraine headache the whole day , along with breathing problems, rash , and nausea , bad stuff . I did some research and manufacture does matter . Found a place that has Mallincroft . ## Hi Ilene, Sorry to hear about your experience with the Qualitest version. I'm glad you were able to find a place that has your preferred manufacturer in stock. If I had to make an assumption based on your description, I'd say the binders and fillers could've been the root cause of such side effects. When you switch brand names or manufacturers the drug itself doesn...

I have two halves of hydrocodone that both say M36 and the other half is gone. Are Hydrocodone 5's M365 and 10's M367 the exact same size pill or is one smaller? I don't know if I have two halves of a 5 or 10 or one of each? ## Hello. The Hydrocodone with v36 on one side and 09 on the other is a 10-325. The 365 is a 5-325 which is a 5 (but not sure). What is the difference between Hydrocodone m367 and v3609? Are they the same? If so, which one is best or stronger? ## I found this thread because i was wondering if anyone else had noticed a difference. I've been on 10-325 hydrocodone for several years as part of my pain management regimen. Most of the time the pharmacy has given me the generic made by Mallinckrodt (sp?) with the M367 marking and they work well for my pain ...

Hi I am trying to find a doctor in the Rochester, NY area that will prescribe hydrocodone or oxycodone. I am even willing to travel to Buffalo area, that is how hard it is to find a doctor that just doesn't want to give you a bunch of shots that don't work. I have been on opiates for 15 years. I just recently left my pain doctor that was prescribing me fentanyl. I asked to be switched to something not as strong and an oral medication. I hated the patches. She refused and wrote me for a month and told me to find a different doctor. Now I am in a pain management setting that will only do inj's., I just want to be pain free and be able to play with my daughter again. I feel horrible when she asks when my back is going to be fixed. She is only 5 so she doesn't understand. I ...

hydrocodone 10/500 and hydrocodone 10/325, what is the difference? ## The 10/325 contains 10mgs of the narcotic Hydrocodone, coupled with 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The 10/500 contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone coupled with 500mgs of Acetaminophen. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation. Read more: Do you have any other questions? ## Would hydrodo/apap10-325 be stronger than hydroco/apap10-500 since there is less tylenol.So you would be getting the hydroco with less buffer ## Yes - that is exactly right.

Was perscribed hydrocodone 10/325 for back and hip pain. Long story short, backpack ripped while on vacation and my meds fell out somewhere and I lost around 25 or so. I have some 5/325's left from an earlier script. If I take them, will they be.able to tell the difference in my urine test I have to take at pain management? ## No they only check for the presence of hydrocodone they do not check for levels.
