Hello, I take lorcet 10/325 every month my General physician just changed my script to allow me to take every 4-6 hours as needed with the quantity of 150 pills for chronic pain on 9/9/16 and I was wondering when i could get them filled if I took 6 a day on my really bad days where I would wake up at night and could not fall back to sleep without taking that 6th one from time to time. This is the first time it was filled this way and he also wrote me a second one to have filled this month. I figured this would be ok but now realize I might come up a couple days short. So what would be the earliest I could get them filled? Thank you for your time ## Hi, most pharmacies will fill your script up to 3 days early from the date your last script was filled. For example if you filled last month...

I've been prescribed fentanyl 50mg pain patches and i was just wondering if it's okay to cut one in half an chew on it? ## IT IS NEVER OK TO MISUSE ANY TYPE OF MEDICATION, ESPECIALLY A MEDICATION LIKE FENTANYL. A VERY POWERFUL OPOID THAT CAN KILL SOMEONE. To many times patients are brought in the Emergency Rooms due to accidental overdoses and are pronounced dead. IF this medication was to be taken orally, then it would be prescribed in that manner. So many drug addicts crowd the Emergency Rooms with false pretends in order to obtain all kinds of narcotics. This only hurts the real patients who do have real pain and doctors are slow to prescribe medications and thus the true pain patient suffer. If the person who posted this comment dies due to the advise given, will your other ...

This sounds like a bunch of phooy to me. I have had pain management for several years now and this is the first time that I have Ever had any trouble getting my generic Norco 10/325s, or any other type of hydrocodone medication. It seems as though that from the moment that the DEA put their noses into pain management medications everything has been turned upside down. Now the paper pushers that made all these choices for those of us with chronic pain are not the ones that will have to suffer from any number of things from unnecessary increased pain to the added pain and suffering of withdrawal for those that are long term pain medication users. I am sure that I speak for many out there when I say that IF I could come out on the other side of the painful withdrawal symptoms as a pain fre...

i am currently unable to fill my Dilaudid 2mg due to no pharmacies carrying it. My dr has tried everything and feels that Dilaudid would be my best bet for pain control. I have a mass in my stomach and in severe pain. Due to not being able to find the Dilaudid I have to go to the ER every other day for pain injections and hydration. Any advice? ## Beck have you tried a compounding pharmacy? You may also try to get the social worker at the hospital to help you with resources. Can you fill your rx at the hospital where you are being treated? ## Hi Beck, I understand that none of the pharmacies you've checked carry it in their stores, but have you also considered mail-order options through Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, and others? It may take longer to arrive, but at least there would be a...

Oval orange/peach pill blank on back...has L447 on front. ## Just google it, that's what I do when I find my pills that are out of their bottles & it works!! ## I tried.. nothing came up for it :( ## Based on the description provided, the closest matches I'm finding are a round orange pill marked with L467 and an oval blue pill marked with L441....And although they don't fit your pill description to the tee, the similarities in their imprints lead me to believe that they may be manufactured by the same drug company (Perrigo Company). That said, I would encourage you to contact Perrigo directly at: perrigo.com/contact/default.aspx Perhaps they will be able to determine if this is indeed something they make or not. Hope this helps! ## I have 1 in partial blister pack. It c...

I have just switched from oxycodone to fentanyl patches. I will be withdrawing from them following sugery. any suggestions as to which is easier to withdraw from? Thanks!!! ## Well, the Fentanyl is actually much stronger than the Oxycodone, a 0.025mg dosage of it is equal to 5mgs of Oxycodone, so it is going to be the harder one to withdraw from, if it is stopped abruptly. However, the other fact of relevance is how long you will be using it. If it is only for a short period of time, them the withdrawals may not be too rough, though they may still be annoying. Has your doctor provided you with any advice? ## i have been on fentanyl for a long time. prior to this was on a bunch of oxycodone. to give you an idea i was taking anywhere to 3 or 4 of the 80s per day and 5 or 6 of the Roxi 30s...

Can a urine drug test sent off to a lab tell the difference between oxycodone/apap 7.5-3.25mg (percocet 7.5-3.5) and oxycodone hcl 5mg (Roxicodone 5mg)? I took 3 percocets tonight and i am prescribed the roxi's. I go to my pain doc in 4 days and they occasionally drop me. Can they tell the difference. How long will they be in my system? thanks to all that answer. ## With a urine it will only show what type you took not the amount you got either a 5 panel urine tests for Amphetamines (amphetamine and methamphetamine), Cocaine, Marijuana, Opiates, Phencyclidine aka pcp or the 9 panel the other 4 of the 9 is Barbiturates Benzodiazepines Methadone Propoxyphene. Hope this helps. ## That is correct, the standard test will only show that you took Oxycodone, it cannot distinguish whether it...

Is there such thing as a oxycodone 30mg with no Tylenol, that is white? I've seen blue ones but not a white one. ## Hi Lynn, Just wanted to add that there is in fact a 30mg Oxycodone hydrochloride tablet available without the Tylenol (Acetaminophen). However the one I am seeing is not white, but rather a light blue in color. It has an [M] inside of a box on one side and the number 30 on the back side sitting above a horizontal score line. For further verification, this particular pill is a product of Mallinckrodt, approximately 6.00 mm in size and carries a National Drug Code of 00406-8530. An image can also be viewed within the NDC link. If yours is white I'd probably question its legitimacy and would take it to a local pharmacist just to be on the safe side. ## The blue oxy 30...

what is the side effect? ## Do you know which version of Cortal you are taking? Is it Cortal for Adults with Aspirin and Caffeine, or Cortal with Ibuprofen? If it's the one with caffeine in it and you are drinking soda with caffeine in it, it might be too much caffeine. Hope that helps. Can you please share any other details? ## Cortal for adults with aspirin. What are the side effect of the body or in health? i'm so worry about my friend. ## There are a number of possible adverse effects for Aspirin. It is particularly hard on the stomach, and may interact with other drugs. I would suggest reading the more full list on this site's page for Aspirin Details: Side Effects. I hope this helps! Please post back if you have any other questions or information to add. Specifically w...

I've tried every sleeping med both OTC and prescription. I'm so exhausted I'm wondering why I quit taking the oxycontin/oxycodone. I know that sounds bad but I'm so tired of feeling like this. I feel suicidal sometimes and depressed most of the time. I know it's just exhaustion and I keep reading that it gets better but honestly I don't know how much more I can take... ## Hello, Robin! How are you? If it's been a month, you should turn the corner soon and start to see an improvement. I'm saying this from experience, too. I was on pain management for years and quit cold turkey. It all really does get better shortly after the one month mark. Have you considered trying an antidepressant for a few weeks to help? They are not habit forming and may really help ...

Dr put me on 5 mg oxycodone (20 mg a day). 1 capsule every 6 hrs. I've been taking it for 9 weeks due to TKR and the Manipulation of my knee under anesthesia. I have to get off of it but I'm panicking because I think I'm already experiencing withdrawal. The oxy only seems to help for 2 hrs and then I become agitated and anxious. My pain increases. How do I taper and how long will it take? I'm supposed to visit my daughter in 3 weeks and I don't want her to see me like this! ## Any time you ingest something for a long period of time, suddenly stopping it, or lowering your dose may result in withdrawal effects, but as long as the substance was only being taken as prescribed, they are usually mild, and short-lived.

I am going on a trip and would love to enjoy a few drinks with friends. How long does morphine remain in your system and is it safe to have maybe 2 drinks WHILE taking it? ## I'm on the same dose of morphine I have to be honest I drink on them all the time I try not to get to drunk when I get to go out and get a few drinks but it will make you black out if you're not careful with your alcohol in take it also has to do with your size and tolerance to both the alcohol and drugs just be safe and tell your friends that you can't drink and definitely don't drive ## The problem with combining an opiate with alcohol is that they both cause depression of the central nervous system which results in dizziness, drowsiness, imbalance, lower heart rate, lower breath rate, confusion, ...

I wear a 100 Mcg Fentyl patch every 48 hrs and I am giving 10;a 20 day supply. I live in New Jersey. How many days early( besides the full 20 day's), can I refill them? ## Zero days!!!! fentanyl is one the most dangerous rxs on the market especially that route of administration (transdermal) second only to methadone. If your dose isn't holding you (most intractable patients receive effective analgesia for 72 hrs) speak to the prescribing doc. Perhaps there's a more effective pain relieving option available or additional short acting rx for "breakthrough" pain. It's very easy for some uniformed overworked pharmacy tech. or rph to misconstrue your intentions (ESPECIALLY in NJ of late). That's the last thing you need, I've been on both sides of this issue bu...

For the last 12 years I have been taking Deplatt A 75 & Pantodac 40mg as a precautionary measure. I never had any heart disease. During this period I was posted in different parts of the country. The first doctor prescribed for Aspicot 20 with some antacid about 15 years back. After that the doctor changed it to an Aspirin & antacid combination although there were no findings of heart disease. Now I am 65 and also taking blood pressure tablets (FBX 40 and Lipiking 10). My lipid profile was above the normal limit about 5 yrs back and now it is well within normal range. Should I continue all these medicines? I may provide other information, if asked for. ## While I'm unable to replace the personalized advice from a licensed healthcare professional, I can tell you that decision...

I took a percocet on accident thinking it was my old higher dose of kalonopin i am on suboxon i didnt realize to look it up till i felt hot flashes i could feel my heart beating in my head and had bad stomach cramps and body flushing and face red. Why is this i took my suboxon about 4 milagrams this morning and the percocet about an hour ago what is going on can anyone explain should i be concerned and when is it ok for me to take my regular scheduked suboxon ## What dosage is the Percocet that you took? In theory, you shouldn't experience any severe symptoms, the Suboxone should just stop the Percocet from having any effect on you, because it takes a stronger hold on your opiate receptors. The reason I say "in theory" is due to the fact that no matter how many studies they ...

I'm on the Fentanyl 50-mcg/hr that's made by the Par Pharmaceutical & I've found out that these are the closest Generic to the Brand name Duragesic & wanted to know if they also make the Generic Endocet 10/325 that i have to take for BTP each day. ## What are the markings on the generic Endocet that you are taking? I'm sorry, but since there are many generics available, I can't tell you anything specific about them, without this additional identifying information. Endocet is an opiate analgesic, so the FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and constipation.

I was on 60 mg time released Morphine 3× a day. The pain clinic got mad and released me because i would not get shots in my back, leaving me with 2 refills. So i went back to my family dr with a 1 month fill on my pills. Could not get in anywhere, i got screwed and now am going through withdrawals after being on Morphine for 6 years and Vicodin for about 8 years. I know it's hard with pain but to me it's just not worth it. The dr's are not caring, just leaving me to suffer. I feel like i have been hit by a truck then beat almost to death, u could not begin to know how bad this is unless u have went through it. I wish everyone well. You cant stay on the pain meds forever. My advice, don't get on pain meds. I'm done and will never take another one. Good luck. ## H...
