Pain Relief Forums

I was taking Mallinckrodt oxycodone 5 mg and I had ZERO side effects. My pharmacy switched to Rhodes Pharma (God only knows why). But, after just taking 1 before bedtime, my heart was racing out of control, I didn't sleep at all, and woke up in a lot of pain and feeling all sweaty. I also wasn't able to have a bowel movement (a problem I never had with Mallinckrodt). Anyhow, I called multiple pharmacies and NOBODY has Mallinckrodt brand. Guess I will have to sit here and wait until I have convulsions, a heart attack or just die (since I can't take these pills)! While the DEA says they are trying to PREVENT OPIOID PROBLEMS, what they're really doing is CAUSING MORE PEOPLE TO DIE! Those who DO abuse opioids - I say, "SCREW THEM!" I, for one, never abused my meds. A...

It's a small white round pill with a love / heart imprint. I just want to know what it is? ## It's an aspirin. It is a small white round tablet with a heart on 1 side n blank on the other. ## Hello Shar, I wasn't able to find a white pill with a heart imprint but I believe that MellyMel is on the right track with Aspirin. Aspirin pills do sometimes come in yellow round pills with a raised heart imprint. If you are 100% certain that the pill is white and not yellow can you provide a bit more detail on the heart imprint, is it raised or is it depressed into the pill? ## It’s Astrid Asprin 100mg. Small white tablet with a heart on one side. Thins your blood. ## I'm you 6 years ago ## Pink heart is pressed into it. ## What does it do?

How is my son bypassing the extended release part of the morphine sulf ER 30 mg tablets he is prescribed by his doc?

I am looking for some information about this drug. ## Have been given dorvasal but know nothing of contents. does anyone know what is in here? ## I am sorry, I can't find anything listed. Did you spell it correctly? ## My mom has been taking Dorvasal for past 4 years. It was prescribed by a doctor in Mexico. As per him it is not a steroid and it contains DMSO (DiMethyl Sulphoxide) It really helped my mom with her Rheumatoid Arthritis for about 3 years or so; but unfortunately now her pain is back (even worse) and she is showing a lot of other side-effects like dizziness, spinning motion in her head, nausea, mouth ulcers, skin rashes, insomnia etc. We are not sure if they are caused by Dorvasal as she is taking few other medications like Tramadol Hydrochloride (analgesic painkiller) ...

Hi All, I experience pretty severe neuropathic pain due to a spinal injury. I have a Baclofen pump which also contains hydromorphone but still get a lot of breakthrough pain. I've been taking oxycodone for 8ish yrs. and the pills I was prescribed those first few yrs. did a good job at treating the pain. I've had to change pharmacies and notice lately the oxycodone 30s I've been given lately do little or NOTHING! Especially the Mallinckrodt! My doc prescribed 3 30mg pills a day but I had to munch 5 of the Mallinckrodts in a 4 hour period and still got barely any relief. I was worried I'd get constipated big time after taking that many pills several days in a row but I didn't (because they're so damn weak!) I don't know the mfg. of the oxys I was taking yrs ago...

In 7 car pile up....need 3 surgeries that were denied by insurance...dr suddenly discharged me and won't even get on phone to say why. I am in constant pain and am going through withdrawal. Any dr. In nj preferably ocean county would really help. ## Hi, Michael! How are you? Sorry about the problem that's arisen for you. However, right now the best thing you can do would be to really look into finding out why they dismissed you. It does concern you and your medical records, so you have a right to know. If they won't tell you, then you may need to request a copy of your medical records from them in order to find out what they have in there. The reason I'm advising you to do this is because it's going to influence what happens with a new doctor. For instance, if for so...

I've been taking Lyrica for nerve pain and also for opiate withdrawal. But I don't like Lyrica so I'm thinking of going back to Gabapentin. I just want to know whether 300mg of Gabapentin could possibly work for me? ## Hello, Amy! How are you? No, Lyrica contains the active ingredient Pregabalin. They are both anticonvulsants that have been shown to help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders, but they are different substances. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight gain. Only your doctor can decide if it may help you and what the appropriate dosage would be. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have lupus, fibromyalgia, Ra and OA I take 300 milligrams of Gabapentin...

Would like to know where to get a prescription filled for 100 Oxycodone 30ml ## Why go to Mexico to get them or ordering them from there? I get 150 of them each month from my pain management DR.. If you suffer from severe pain you may be started on the 15MG Oxy's for a few months then raised to the 30MG tablets. If you aren't needing them for pain but just want them for recreational use then you may have a hard time getting them since the DEA had nothing better to do in 2012 than hassle DR.'s and restrict their schedule 2 prescribing ability for those type of drugs. However, if you have real pain issues and have your past records to give to the doc, that helps save the docs rear end cause he can show proof the patient has severe pain issues. NO MATTER what, don't even me...

Anyone heard anything about these A49 green Roxicodone 15mg pills? I got a new script and they don't seem to help as much. ## Yes, this tablet is manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals and they do list it as containing 15mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation, which is a generic for Roxicodone. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Make me sick to my stomach need to get use to them works fine

I know the oxycodone HCL has some sort of salt in it and it’s just regular oxycodone. And I understand the IR is immediate release. Then they have extended release. But is the oxycodone HCL an extended or an immediate release?? Thank you! ## Oxycodone HCl just means the basic drug - the HCl is a salt that helps it dissolve. It does not tell you if it’s fast-acting or long-acting. - IR means immediate release (works quickly). - ER/XR means extended release (released slowly over hours). So, Oxycodone HCl can be either IR or ER. If your bottle doesn’t say ER/XR, it’s almost always the immediate-release kind. If you'd like, share the NDC code that's on your prescription, and I can look up the leaflet from the manufacturer just to make sure. ## Thank you! Very...

I keep searching and STILL don¨t have a straight answer. I am currently on 30mg, 3 times a day of OXYCODONE (legally prescribed) for horrific back pain..... ¿WHAT is the difference between the 2, if any, besides the NAME? oxycodone AND oxycontin........ PLEASE help me out! thanks! thanks!! ## Its the same drug - Oxycodone. One is time released (Oxycontin) and one is immediate release (oxycodone). If they changed your meds from Oxycodone 30mg 3xper day (total of 90mg a day) to Ocycontin it would be probably be 40mg 2x a day with breakthrough meds. ## Pita's comment is basically true. Though OxyContin is technically oxycodone hydrochloride - a slightly different formula, but yes -- essentially the same drug. The major difference is the time-released delivery of OxyContin as ...

My Hydrocodone got wet. Is it still effective? ## How wet did it get? I mean where they soaked in water for a few minutes, or did some just splash on it? Either way, if it was just water, the effectiveness is going to depend on whether or not any of the pill started to dissolve. If it did, then you may not receive all of the dosage and may notice diminished effectiveness. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No they did get wet and some started to disfigure and some did semi dissolve ## A little water got in the pill container some disolved , some disfigured

I have both shoulders with rotator cuff issues. I take a single 5/325 several times a week at night to sleep. Is there any danger of dependency or addiction?

I was using heroin 2-3 times a day for a year. I quit heroin but continued to use pills. I recently could not get pills for about a week. I was extremely ill. So I said enough and went to a methadone clinic to quit everything. They said they would not treat me cause there was nothing in my blood or urine. I got some pills today and am going to clinic tomorrow. My question is how soon will they show up, and will 50 mg of hydrocodone and 20 mg of oxycodone be enough to "fail" the blood and urine tests to get in the program. ## The amount you're taking is more than enough if you have a urine test the following day. Hydrocodone alone can remain in your system for 1-6 days for a urine test; while Oxycodone can be present in urine for 2-4 days. A blood test however may only show O...

My pain mgt. doctor has decided that he wants to take me off Oxycodone 40mg per day and put me on Belbuca. I don't want to do this, but he is leaving me with no choice. What should I expect? ## How is he doing the transition? In order to start the Belbuca, you'll need to be off the Oxycodone for several days, otherwise it could throw you into precipitated withdrawals. Belbuca contains the active ingredient Buprenorphine, so the FDA warns that it also carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Ref: Belbuca Information Many doctors are switching their patients as a precaution to help prevent them developing opiate abuse. ## How many days should I be off? Withdrawals do not sound like fun.

Any names of doctors who will prescribe vicodin for degenerative disks in IN? ## Hello, Alex! How are you? There is no database of doctors that will prescribe any given medication. If you require such a medication on a long-term basis for chronic pain, you will most likely need to see a pain management specialist. Do you have a PCP that you see regularly? If so, then it would most likely be easiest to have them refer to you someone. Learn more Vicodin details here. ## I'm not sure where you are, but if you were in the UK you would definitely need a prescription. If you want to be treated or even just een quickly your best bet is to consult a private doctor. Sameday Doctor clinics will even provide a walk in service. ## You can find them at: samedaydoctor.co.uk ## Call your insurance...

I have acute back pain and looked to buy some 20mg oxycodone online. Found expressmedsuk.com and introduced to Yashina on WhatsApp. Paid for 60 tablets using PayPal friends and family (their insistence) so no refund possible despite reassurances that I would get the product in two days. The next day I got a panicked series of texts and phone calls saying I had to pay an additional £65 for insurance. I declined as I had already paid for carriage in my original payment. That’s when it all went quiet. So I’m out of pocket - no painkillers and a scam site expressmedsuk.com getting money for nothing. Their website looks very glossy but it’s all smoke and mirrors. Avoid at all costs and spread the word. ## I don't like to see people in pain. Have you tried kratom? I...
