Has anyone had side effects taking Lyrica And Fluoxetine together? Such as mood swings, concentrating on things, forgetfulness, mixing letters and words, dizziness, hands jerking/ twicthcing in hands, ## Just found this site. I also take Fluoxetine 20mg.and Lyrica 25mg. three times a day. When I first started the Lyrica I was very disoriented, so much so I was afraid to drive. However as time has gone on that has disappeared. I have gained weight and have pretty bad dry mouth but the pain has decreased unbelievably. I just stood and danced for 2 1/2 hours at a Paul McCartney concert and did not suffer at all. The next day was another story but still manageable. ## Hi Diane, The side effects you've been experiencing are common on these medications, so you're definitely not alone....

I've been getting norco made by Qualitest for a few yrs. now. I was given Vicodin 1st but I had problems with sweats and head aches. The Dr. gave me Norco by Qualitest and they worked great. They helped my pain without making me drowsy. They've been on back order for a long time and even the white ones are on back order. Should we expect the problem to be fixed soon or are the yellow norco gone forever? ## After speaking to my pharmacist about 4 months ago, he told me qualitest is actually manufacturing or taking over a lot of pharmaceuticals. I know when I get a qualitest medication it's going to work. ## Some companies has changed their formulations to remove any dyes, due to problems with customers being allergic to them. The FDA warns that this medication carries the ris...

Been taking painkillers ( vicodin, lortab, lorcet ((discontinued)), and Norco for many years. Skiing, motorcycles, etc. Whe I started the Norco, I got them from cvs. Found out that the ones manufactured by Malincrodt were completely ineffective when compared to the Watson product. My Doc has me on the pink k56 oxy now. I picked them up, reluctantly, from cvs because of the insurance Discount. Only able to get coverage for 90 although I had a prescription for 120. My question is does anyone know if the ones I have (manufactured by KVK-Tech INC) are going to be a waste of time like the Malinkrodt norcos were. Is there a quality oxy 10mg manufacturer that is better than the others? Thank you ## Hi Scott, Looking at some of the related KVK Tech threads here, this manufacturer in particular ...

I've been on Oxycodone for 7 years. 5 mg 2 to 3 times a day (sometimes 4 times a day on a bad pain day) I've never been without them. I had shoulder and back issues which caused a pain doctor to put me on them. My job changed 2 years ago to where I shouldn't need these meds as I don't do anything labor intensive anymore. I'm still on them. My doctor said stopping shouldn't be an issue, just taper from 3 a day to 2 then to 1 and then 1/2 but I find myself going through sweats and sickness when I take just 1 a day. Looking at the clock to see when it's been 24 hours so I can have another one. Pain aside, the sweats,running to the toilet and the creepy crawly feeling on my skin as if I am going to go insane. What should I do? Should I just stop cold turkey at th...

I recently found out that my girlfriend has relapsed with her alcohol addiction. I also found that she has been taking 15mg Morphine ER release 3-4 times a day to help her not want the booze. She has admitted that she now has an issue with the pills but is not drinking. Her Dr has now given her 10mg Oxycodone IR and she tells me that she is taking that to get off of the Morphine. This past week she has had severe mood swings, has had a headache every day this week, and has told me she has not had a pill in two days. I need help understanding what is happening here. Am I being lied to and her addiction is taking a turn for the worse or is she really doing what she says she is? ## She's lying to you. Oxycodone is much stronger than morphine, trust me, I'm prescribed both of them e...

Cleaning out an old cabinet from a relative and found some pills from the days where it seems labeling wasn't a big thing so maybe some of you might know. First, an orange and brown capsule simply labeled "BMP 140" on each side of the capsule. Second, a red-coated tablet which either has 60, or GD (I'm not sure) with agb underneath it. Blank on the other side. I searched and 60 abg is what came up (says its morphine but the letters don't match). The next is the same type of logo (gd, 60?) with add right under it. It's grey coated as well. I have still never found out what my pink capsules labeled "pfizer 50" were, even after calling pfizer. I'm open to any clues you might offer.

I am switching from suboxone 8mg/2ng strips 2 times daily. I gate the sub. I am switching to methadone tomorrow. I have not taken sub since last night at approx. 8:00 p m. How much morphine will i need to keep from being sick until tomorrow. I start methadone tomorrow. I am 60 yrs young. ## You would be fine overnight. Adding morphine and then starting methadone could put you into an overdose. Please be safe. Talk to your doctor. Don't just ever play around with medicine.

My boyfriend's doctor of 3 years changed practices and moved and now he cannot find a doctor who will write him the same prescription he was getting the last 3 years with her. Are there any doctors in New Mexico who he can be on a pain contract with and get his prescription from. He was getting 150 3mg Oxycodone a month, because he has chronic hip pain, but every place we've gone to is telling him they aren't authorized to prescribe the quantity he needs. We have all of his X-rays, medical records and a copy of his board of pharmacy saying how much he's been on continuously for 3 years. He's not looking to get more. He just wants to stay on exactly what he was on. Please help. We're hitting nothing but dead ends and he's been without any medication for his pa...

I was taking Tramadol as prescribed for 5 years. Then one night I took the same amount then I felt like I almost couldn't breathe. Now I can't take it without feeling like I can't breathe...what is wrong? ## stop taking it no matter what your doc says ## Reactions to a medication can suddenly occur, even if you've taken it successfully before, some people's bodies just can no longer tolerate them. It is hard to say what is causing this reaction, it could be a developed allergy or a blood pressure elevation, among other things. Have you spoken to your doctor about this, if so, what have they said? ## I was taking tramadol on and off for about 6 years and this would occasionally happen. It started getting worse as time went on so I had to stop. I also experienced a sev...

Good day to all. This post is for those who may be faced with chronic pain or who may have loved ones undergoing difficult challenges in a similar capacity. I'm writing this message because I just stumbled upon an article by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as they recently announced a meeting they held on May 31st through June 1st, 2018 discussing chronic pain and the opioid crisis. The event was intended to highlight the need for better pain management by taking advantage of the latest research in the field. In hindsight, many of us have come to terms that it's predominantly an illicit drug and fentanyl crisis (not solely prescribed opioids as is often depicted), but for the sake of allowing mainstream news to shed light on better approaches to pain management, I think...

I take 9 oxycodone 10/325mg and morphine sulfate 60mg 2 times a day. My insurance changed and I was denied my prescription of oxycodone due to Doctors Authorization. Will I get withdral symptoms even though I am still taking the morphine sulfate? ## Hello, Mariposa! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. Yes, you may experience some withdrawal symptoms, because Oxycodone is actually stronger than Morphine, plus your body is used to having that additional level of narcotic. Have you contacted your doctor about correcting the issue? ## Yes I have contacted the doctors office, the office staff is rude and will not forward a message to the doctor. I made an appointment to speak with him on the 20th. I think I am going to try a different medication. ## IMHO...

The Internet is flooded with horror stories about these arrogant, cocky, self absorbed pharmacists who think their s*** doesn’t stink as well as the pharmacy themselves. CVS and Walgreens have grown too big for their britches, but what I don’t understand is why people insist on flooding these stores every time they get a prescription? Insurance is insurance and there are tons of small pharmacies that will all go out of their way to cater to you a lot better than the name brands/chain brand outlets. So I ask again why do y'all keep going to a pharmacy that you hate? I think we should all have a national "go somewhere other than CVS or Walgreens" month! ## Well I'm on many medications and Walgreens not only has auto refill, but all my meds show up at my door ex...

Much to my surprise 2 days ago my pharmacy gave me generic OxyContin instead of Brand OxyContin. I have been on 40 mg. OxyContin 3x's daily and have been for 15 years. I don't think twice about them as there is a 2 hour window to take it and never any problems with them, only my Sister knows I have even have to take them (I'm 57 years old). These Generic Oxycontins are identical in color, size, markings, everything which is odd. The only information I can find on the content of the drug is that the generic is the same as the brand name Only in the inactive ingredients but the active ingredience are different. The reason I'm asking about them is I feel absolutely terrible, I'm having stomach pains, all my joints hurt, having very bad headaches and I rarely get headach...
