How long after taking. Zirtex D can I take a hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5-325 MG. I am in pain and my legs are cramping.

Taking them together may increase the severity of some side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yes you can but only of it perscribed to YOU. Take it only when needed. Make sure hoy follow the directions on the bottle.

I have been on hydrocodone 10mg since January 2016 due to chronic migraines and a pinched nerve in my neck. This last month the medicine has not worked at all. I haven't been to work in two weeks because I'm in SO MUCH PAIN! I guess my question is what should I do? And say to my PM Dr.? ## What are the markings on it? Did you receive a different generic than usual? If not, then your body may already be tolerant to it and you should inform your doctor. However, be careful not to ask for any specific medication, or dosage, as an alternative, as they may view that as being drug seeking behavior. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Does anyone else ...

I had orange 36 05 pills (SB 7.5 hydrocodone / 325 acetaminophen). I noticed that they passed (in stool) almost intact. They gotta be fakes, right? ## Not necessarily, many pills contain fillers and have shells that are not intended to be broken down by the human body. They are normally expelled as waste, even though the medication itself is actually released and used. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation, they also carry the risk of being habit forming. The main question is, did they work for you to relieve pain?

my husband has to have surgery in 5 days he was told to stop taking hydrocodone immediately his pain isnt tolerable with only tylenol why cant he have the hydrocodone nowxl ## Hi lucy, According the webpage linked below, the reason why one has to discontinue Hydrocodone well in advance of surgery, is because the medication will prolong bleeding times. Ref:becomehealthynow.com/popups/drugs2_bh.htm Although I do wonder why Tylenol is considered to be safe during this time, since it seems to have blood thinning effects as well. Can anyone else find details on this? ## The reason why docs do this is to lower your tolerance so that the pain meds will be more effective to reduce pain after surgery. Many long term users of pain meds build a tolerance and then need a stronger pain reliever foll...

Please help me find a dr who prescribes hydrocodone. I can't find one who still follows the hypocratic oath of (first do no harm) The very day I and everyone in chronic pain with X-rays and MRI are put in harms way. Don't they realize that pain, unrelenting, 24/7 pain can take the will to live away. To have no quality of life, is to have no life at all. ## I completely understand and agree with everything you said, as I've been suffering with chronic pain for many, many years, and I receive no relief from the pain meds that I've been prescribed, except for sleepiness for a short time. Every other month or so I'm scheduled for some type of MRI, CT or x-ray. These tests very, very seldom show anything different. I have degenerative arthritis in practically every bone/j...

I have a 25 year history of migraines. Prescribed 1 or 2 fioricet every 4 to 6 hrs. Crazy but true, can someone she'd some light? For severe migraine relief, I need to take 2 at once. If at those times I take 1, wait 45 min for relief then take the other, it doesn't work. My experience has been that basically I have to start over, meaning that after that initial 45 min wait, I have to take 2 at one time, hitting the headache quick and hard. Also sometimes you think you will need 2 at the start and end up knowing that that was too much. So clearly, not good. My question is how can this scenario be? And why doesn't hydrocodone even with some caffeine and tylenol work for my migraines? Migraines are such a balancing act. Going to try Depakote, but keep my fioricet close by. ## ...

Its probably a vitamin b12 I have a bottle I got at dollar general store. If you try break it in half it breaks easy and is yellow on the inside also ## I hope this doesn't sound rude in anyway, but if you have a bottle of vitamin B12 from the dollar store and suspect this to be what it is, why haven't you opened the bottle to check? Or was the bottle already empty? Have you also considered going back to the dollar store for any evidence? While it may very well be some sort of dietary supplement or vitamin, depending on where it's really from, this also fits the description of various pharmaceuticals from Mexico that bear no markings; including but not limited to the likes of hydrocodone/acetaminophen and cyclobenzaprine. Perhaps a lab analysis would be the best way to know ...

Need to know if this is a generic version for Norco (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) 5/325 (2172). What is this pill? ## Hello, Honey! How are you? Yes, after days of looking, I've finally found confirmation that it is. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## FDA needs to remove 2172 pills from market. They are worthless. Shame on Walgreens for passing these off as 5/325s. I guess the bottom line is money and not your health. Good by Walgreens $$$$$$. Never to big to fail. ## THE NEW ONES ARE AWFUL. THEY DONT HELP PAIN. JUST MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A ZOMBIE. AND CANT GET NEW REFILL WITH ONES I H...

What are the speckels for is it the hydrocodone I never knew if they r better than the other ones or the same? ## No, that's just a coloring agent the manufacturer used to distinguish their tablets from the others available on the market. These tablets contain 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, which is a narcotic pain reliever. There are many generics of this on the market and it's difficult to compare it to others, without knowing which specific ones you're asking about. Can you provide any other details? Thanks! Learn more Norco details here. This medication has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## So, the manufacuter puts the 'coloring agent' or 'red s...

Can I drink 8 hours after having one pill of 5/325 Hydrocodone/Tylenol? I am only wanting to have a couple. ## Hello, Genny! How are you? It is usually best to abstain from alcohol while taking any narcotic medication, especially one like this which also contains Acetaminophen/Tylenol. According to the NIH, both can be very harsh on the liver, so combining the two could result in liver damage, or failure. The FDA also warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

I have toothache and I am on blood thinning medicine! What can I take for the toothache? Will hydrocodone 5/325 help? If so, how often can I take it? ## Hello, Betty! How are you? It might help, but you should only take it if your doctor has instructed you to do so and you should follow their dosing instructions, it's usually taken every 4 to 6 hours, as needed. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. You should also be aware that it will not correct whatever problem has caused the toothache, so you should see your dentist as soon as possible for any necessary treatment.

My daughter currently takes liquid hydrocodone acetaminophen 7.5 325 per 5ml every 4-6 hrs for pain my sister thinks it's to much....how is this converted to pill form? ## Hello, Sally! How is your daughter doing? From what you've listed, each 5ml contains 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, which is equivalent to the same dosage tablet. There's really nothing unusual about this dose. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I took hydrocodone about 4 hours ago and I have some old tramadol. I have such a bad headache. Will it be OK to take this tramadol? ## You can do so, as long as your doctor approves, but you should be aware that these opioids can cause headaches as a side effect, according to the FDA and the NIH. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I've read a lot about seizure risks and such when mixing the two, but no one ever talks about doses in those posts and I'm looking to stay safe. Would (1) 5mg hydrocodone and (1) 200mg tramadol be safe and okay? I have no tolerance to opiates. I currently have a cough so bad it's giving me intense migraines every day and I'm kinda in the boat as finals m...

Is there a difference between Oxycodone 5MG and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5-325MG for pain relief? ## Hello, Janet! How are you? Oxycodone is stronger, but the since the Hydrocodone is coupled with Acetaminophen, which can augment that action of the Hydrocodone, it may work better for some people. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

How is your husband? They can be taken together, as long as his doctor approves. However, as reported by the FDA, it may cause him to experience more side effects, which may include nausea, dizziness and stomach irritation.

Watson 3203 pill, white with orange specks. Never seen them before today. What are they? ## Orange specks? I've seen pictures of the WATSON 3203 tablets, and they've either been solid white or orange, but not with specks. According to the inscription you posted it should be a pain killer containing Hydrocodone 7.5 mg + Acetaminophen 325 mg (basically a generic Norco). Now, the tablet with WATSON 3202 matches your color description more closely, and is in fact a similar drug containing the same amount of Acetaminophen, but with 5 mg of Hydrocodone instead of 7.5. NDC code 0591-3202. Can I ask which one is it that you are seeing?

Am on 10-325 mg I go to pain management I can't find my bottle of meds am in pain. 8 days before appt will they see I haven't had my meds ## Hi Vicky, Sorry to hear about your situation. Personally, I think you should be upfront with your doctor about what happened, having misplaced the bottle. The main reason I say this is because I think they do have the ability to tell what levels of medication should be in your system vs how much isn't there. Given the circumstances and type of narcotic, it's easy for them draw false conclusions that you're selling them, but I feel that sincere honesty goes a long way when you are earnest and straight forward with your words. I have my fingers crossed for you and pray that everything works out to your benefit! Be well! ## They ca...
