Pain Relief Forums (Page 115)

Probably 99% of patients who get pain med scripts truly need them. There is no need to tell us your diagnosis/condition or if you have a handicapped placard/tag. The bottom line is this: YOU HAVE A LEGITIMATE Rx and PHARMACISTS SHOULD HONOR IT. The ones who refuse to fill it simply enjoy saying so. It gives them the POWER and CONTROL they crave. It is not about losing their license since prescriptions can be verified. Also, they are written on special paper. Sadly, compassion and service are NOT some pharmacists' priority. We patients should have a good appearance and say as little as possible. In addition, a Walmart employee told me I MUST take all my scripts to the same pharmacy. REALLY?? (One was for a rescue inhaler which could mean the difference between life and death! I went ...

There seams to be an unbelievable amount of misinformation going about Drug take about 12 hours to get into your system.a 25 patch is a relative low dose. If you are having all sorts if problems without it, for god sake call your dr. Patches usually have about 4 days worth drugs . If you are running out leave patch on for 4 days, and then you have 12 hours in you body that hasn't gotten to your blood system I have on a 100 patch and get a percocet every 4 hours: muscle relaxer and another pain medication every 8 hours, ## If you are having withdrawal symptoms after taking off a 12.5 patch, see a mental health specialist.

Is there anything I can use to help with withdrawal symptoms? I'm addicted to stilpane and I stopped once but the withdrawal symptoms were terrible, then I started again.

Why is it that the government wants to control the hydrocodone epidemic? There are overdoses happening anywhere and it doesn't have to come from a doctor or a pharmacy. If you compare the number of deaths from alcohol related accidents and alcohol abuse, lung cancer from cigarettes, they will outweigh the abuse and deaths from Hydrocodone. So why is the government and politicians not going after cigarettes and alcohol and banning them? Going to be because they make money off cigarettes and alcohol. People in chronic pain who actually need hydrocodone are made to suffer because the government does not make money off of these pills, but the companies who provide spinal cord stimulators and that type of thing do make money off people needing to get out of pain. Why is there a liquor st...

What can I take for a headache if Excedrin migraine is not a good choice with sulfamethoxazole? ## According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), there are no interactions listed between Aspirin and Sulfamethoxazole. While this doesn't necessarily mean that no interactions exist, it is my understanding that this combination is generally regarded as safe. Nevertheless, if you have any doubts about your prescription, I'd encourage you to consult your prescribing doctor before moving forward with anything else. Hope this helps! ## Can I take bc powder while on antibiotics sulfamethoxazole

what is the pill? ## Based on my investigation, an oblong blue pill marked "NT" is "rumored to be" Tylenol cold and sinus nighttime, containing Acetaminophen, Diphenhydramine and Pseudoephedrine. "NT" is commonly used to depict nighttime versions of various over the counter medications. NOTE: McNeil Consumer Healthcare also manufacturers a related blue & white capsule with the following imprint [TYLENOL FLU NT], containing Acetaminophen 500mg, Diphenhydramine 25mg and Pseudoephedrine 30mg. - NDC: 00045-0174. Does anyone else have thoughts or information to add?

who knows what pharmacy has generic dilaudid in stock in spring hill Fl. 34606?! ## In order to find out which pharmacy has this medication in stock, you'd probably have to go in person to each pharmacy that you intend on having it filled at and ask them in person. Reason being is that most pharmacists will be reluctant to tell a complete stranger over the phone if they have one of the most potent narcotic pain relievers in stock. If you are having trouble filling a script, I have heard that others are trying Walgreens Mail Order services with better success. Is there anyone else in Florida who can suggest what has or hasn't worked for you, in so far as filling your prescription? ## I was having a big problem getting my scripts filled for different scheduled drugs over the years...

My pharmacist said Watson changed their name. Is this true? ## From what I've seen mentioned, they've been purchased by another pharmaceutical manufacturer, they didn't actually change their name, so to speak.

It is a narcotic pain reliever that has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, constipation and dry mouth.

I was let go by my physician, him assuming I was selling my med's. I take 4 to 5 oxycodones a day. Didn't show in my urine or blood work on 2 months of lab work. I take my med's.

Need to know how long after taking a dose of Percocet 10 mg, three times a day, will it show up in the urine? ## Percocet is a trade name of Endo Pharmaceuticals for a narcotic pain killer containing oxycodone and acetaminophen. It is used to treat moderately severe to severe acute (short-term) pain. The main ingredients of Percocet are oxycodone, and acetaminophen. Percocet can show up in the urine for up to three to five days after taking it. Since you are taking it three times a day, I would recommend getting a note from your doctor so you can show the place where you are taking the test that is a prescription.
