White Watson 853 not near as strong as the yellow ones. WTF has changed? I know I used to take about 5-6 doses per day of yellow tablets. Now with the whites, I'd need to double or even triple my dose to get the same relief?! You tell me they're the same?? Bull... I couldn't take that many of the yellows if I wanted to. If I had to guess, coming from someone that took these everyday, is that the white ones are like half the strength as the yellow ones. No way they are the same. Don't care what the box says. Try them and you will see. Government I'm sure controlling meds, just like turning the good, helpful OCs into completely useless OPs. ## Hello, Eight8! How are you? I'm sorry that you're having a problem. However, I can't really check this out for just...

I just got my norco 10 filled but they are different from the ones I always get. They are white, oblong with U 03 on one side and a line on the other side so u can break it in half. Are these generic? ## Yes, these tablets are manufactured by Aurolife Pharma and they list it as containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. 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. Have you taken it, yet? How well is it working for you? ## I got my norco 10/325 filled and they look different. Oblong with scoreline one side is R P other side is H10 325 what's up? ??? ## Don't take those! Wagreens just picked those up in there locations. They come from a comp...

I have a small round yellow pill. It has a "C" on one side and "49" on the other. My doctor write a prescription for Norco but I've never seen anything like this. Can you help? ## Hi Ladybug, A round yellow pill with C on one side and 49 on the other is reportedly identified as Olanzapine 15 mg, an antipsychotic drug used for treating mental disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It's definitely not Norco... Perhaps there was some miscommunication on the doctor's part? Markings: C;49 Shapes: Round Colors: Yellow Size (mm): 9 NDC: 66993-684 Labeler: Prasco Laboratories Inactive Ingredients: -Crospovidone -Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (Type H) -Lactose Monohydrate -Magnesium Stearate Hope this helps!

I have been a patient of Dr. in Kanas City for approximately 2 years. And he was very good in regards to providing pain meds that would last a month. But recently, and unknowingly I was prescribed 3 days worth of Percocet. Not until I got home from the pharmacy that they had prescribed a narcotic. I tried to return in pharmacy, but the could take them back. So the long and the short of it is that I was discontinued as a patient after two years. I need assistance finding a new pain management Doctor in the Kansas City, Wichita, Newton, Kanas. Any leads will be greatly appreciated. ## Hi, I live in Kansas City and the same thing happened to me. I was with a Dr. in Overland Park whom I saw on a monthly basis however I was discontinued because I missed and appointment and I took a xanax scr...

Been on suboxones for over a year. I stopped taking them for a week because of some dental work. I was in so much pain needing a root canal and I realized that no matter how many hydrocodones I took, it did nothing for pain. I am thinking it's because I've been on suboxones. Anyway, I want to start back on suboxones, but I am nervous to when to start taking them. The last time I took hydrocodone was about 17 hours ago. I do not feel any withdrawal symptoms from stopping them. When would I be safe to take my suboxone? ## Hello, Ricsgirl! How are you? Suboxone actually contains 2 ingredients, the opiate Buprenorphine and Naloxone, which neutralizes other opiates to help prevent their abuse, while someone is under treatment with it. The Naloxone is most likely why the Hydrocodone d...

How many 4mg hydromorphone do I have to take to match what I was taking (morphine 60mg every 8hrs plus 15mg every 4hrs)? ## The truth is there really are no precise equivalencies between different pain medications. Trial and error is the only way to find a dosage of remotely similar efficacy for your unique body chemistry, tolerance and level of pain. The presence of various binders and fillers also complicate matters from tablet to tablet, in that they may affect bioavailability or how well your body absorbs the active ingredient(s) that these excipients are mixed with. The half-life of each respective drug should also be taken into consideration... Having said this, it's probably best that you work closely with a pain management specialist to determine what works and what doesn...

I've been on heavy opiates since 2001. I am at the lowest I've ever been(150mcg/h) the patches say they will last 72hours. I have to change mine every 48. Is this common? Also today is the first time I'm using expired patches. Is this safe? ## Hello, Agro! How are you doing? They may be less effective, but as long as they aren't dried out, cracking/tearing and leaking, they shouldn't be dangerous. Did you run out of your regular prescription? This is 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. ## Yea I ran out...and was having insurance problems. They were so weak! I got my reg patches back tho. Thnx for the tip. Another question....they switched the b...

After one fentanyl 50 (much less than 18hrs on skin till he ripped it off) my boyfriend is so sick. He does not want to get out of bed because every move makes him more nauseous. He has thrown up all day. Doesn't know how as he hasn't even held down a sip of water or even ginger ale. I tried to get him to eat a piece of toast and the smell of it made him throw up. He hates pain meds as they usually make him feel horrible. He had back surgery in 08, has had inj's in lower back 3 times in past year. His PC dr has given him Lyrica this week before this fentanyl. He stopped it as he just wanted to sleep. He is scheduled for an MRI on Friday. How long will he be this sick? ## I am so sorry about the side effects he experienced. I had the same problem when I tried Fentanyl years a...

How can I get the Fentanyl patch 75 mcg the f*** out of my system? I have approx. 70-80 hours to get this s*** out of my body. Was prescribed it for pinched nerve in lower back area. Been taking it for about a month. Now I have a pre-employment drug screen this Fri. Today is Tues. Last used this morning. (Tues.) What do you think? Many thanks! ## Dazed and Confused--as long as you have a valid prescription for the fentanyl you should be ok. They'll probably ask you to list your meds down before the test. Put down that you have been using the drug. That way when you test positive they'll know why. I don't see a problem--???? ## It only stays in your system for about 18 hours ## I would bring your script with you and be honest. Even if you went cold turkey which I don’t ...

Hello. I am on the fentanyl patch, 125mcg every 72 hours. And ever since starting the patch I have been able to once again be more active. I exercise for an hour every morning and walk in the evening. My dr said the patch will last me 72 hours but by 48 and sometimes less, my pain begins to return and I start feeling withdrawl symptoms I use to feel on oxy or percs. I've tried telling my dr that I need to change every 2 days but he insists that this does not happen to anyone else. Does anyone here have the same issues? And are you feeling better results from different brands of the patch? ## Hello, Jessica! How are you? Your morning exercising may be causing the problem. There are actually warnings with the Fentanyl patch that tell you that anything you get hot, sweaty or overheated...

I have suffered from chronic pancreatitis for the last 20 years. Unfortunately the state stepped in and will not allow my doctor to write my medication for my Dilaudid any longer and I have not been able to find another doctor who will continue to write my prescription for dilaudid. I have never abused my pain medication and it is becoming quite frustrating and depressing that I cannot find a doctor to continue my treatment. it has been the only thing to keep me out of the hospital for the last 6 years. Up until six years ago I was in the hospital every two to three weeks for a period of about 3 years when I was at my worst. I had zero quality of life. Through this treatment I have managed to stay out of the hospital and maintain some quality of life. I do not wish to go back to living ...

White oblong similar to hydrocodone but thinner - no markings - sent from Chennai India - refilled my Vicodin prescription from a Canadian pharmacy. ## If there are no markings on the tablets, then I am afraid there is no way to positively identify it, unless you would pay to have it lab tested. It may be what you ordered or it may be something entirely different. This is one of the hazards of ordering from foreign sources. ## So, if the oblong, white pill is unmarked, but COULD still be hydrocodone, that must mean that SOME hydrocodone is, in fact, unmarked. Is that right? ## did you ever try the pills? my friend ordered these too from India but it is a light yellow oblong scored pill with no markings on it...the foil blister pack says it is 10/325 hydrocodone. ## I have the same pills...

round yellow tablet with Vp or Vd on front and 121 on the back ## yellow tablet with 121 on one side and Vp on the other side, approx 1/4 inch in diameter ## 81 mg Aspirin ## That is correct, it is delayed release and manufactured by Rugby Laboratories, it is the over the counter dosage taken by many people for heart health, and blood thinning.

The pill is white oval and has P500 on one side and blank on the other side. Is it some type of medical pill or narcotic? ## Hi Renee, According to the following National Drug Code (49035-457) with the imprint listed as TCL341 P500, that is reported to be an Equate brand 500mg Acetaminophen Extra Strength tablet; sold OTC at Walmart.

Have no clue. The light orange pill is round with Bayer on one side and the # 20 on the other side. ## Sounds like you have 20 mg Levitra. ## Thanks Abe, Thats the one.

My name is Kendra. I am a 25yr old single mother. I have been suffering from chronic back pain from the age of 17yrs old, before that had scoliosis since the age of 8. Basically I started at the wrong chiropractor. He just started a business and trying to make money. In the long run he was supposed to treat me for slight scoliosis but treated for severe. So the end result made my back worse. After the age of 16 my back started to slowly get worse. By 18 I couldn't even walk into the acupuncture (hoping for different result and help). Eventually I learned that I most likely would have to just deal with the pain because nothing was helping. I then had my son at the age of 21. With the movement of my hips unfortunately my back got even worse. I can't do the things a 25yr old should...

My doctor has increased my dosage from 75mg to 100mg. It has only been 2 days and already I am falling asleep at my desk at the drop of a hat. I have a constant headache (in my eye and the back of my head) and I feel dizzy. I even had a cold sweat whereby my cheeks were hot but my forehead was freezing. I generally just feel out of it like I am "high" on drugs! ## Have you tried checking your blood pressure when you start feeling like this? It sounds like you might be dropping too low, now. The FDA lists those as being possible side effects of this medication, as well as possible side effects of low blood pressure. I'm a heart and blood pressure patient myself who has also experienced such issues. Sometimes it was due to very low blood pressure, other times it was medication...

found in my sons room...#1) round white pill imprinted '0027' upper, with a line and then imprinted 'v' on bottom ...#2 is a round white pill imprinted '44' 0n upper with a line underneath ..imprinted '104' on bottom ## I don't know what the 0027 is but I would pay attention to the V. The other one 44/104 is Acetominophen (Generic Tylenol). ## the V might be Vicodin. Bad stuff. ## Ok, this is my last post...I see the question was nearly 2 years ago..both pills are acetominophen...whew! ## Melody is correct, both tablets contain 325mgs of Acetaminophen, there are generics/store brands for Tylenol.

I pulled my calf, so after a week decided to get the injection. I was taking same formula but in pills presentation, which in the past has worked great for back pain. But, the calf injury had a higher strain level, i hate injections but support from my posse i gutted up and took it, i got to say it did not hurt, my doc has great technique. Box contais 3 so will go again tomorrow and day after. Price, like everything in life, several brands, several labs, several prices. From experience i can say lab and store reputation do make difference in meds, so make ur choice. (Uni-dox is one i've used in pill version). Principal compound diclofenaco sodico is an antiinflamatory, the rest are B complex vitamins. Personally i say its safe. Like most meds, not recomended if you are pregnant, hav...
