Hi. I'd like information comparing Percocet (Oxycodone / Acetaminophen) and Tramacet (Tramadol hydrochloride / Acetaminophen). Is Percocet a stronger more powerful pain killer than Tramacet? If so, by how much? If you have been taking Percocet are you likely to get the same effect from Tramacet? Is there a chart somewhere that compares or ranks all pain killers comparatively? If so please tell me where. Thanks - good health to you all ## The Tramadol is not actually a narcotic, it is derived from an opiated, but it is not actually one, so it is therefore nowhere near as strong as the Percocet, which contains a strong narcotic Oxycodone. ## She asked about Tramacet not Tramadol. Tramacet is an opiate as is Percocet. As for the chart listing different opiates and their strengths, I wo...

Is to safe to take Ecospirin 10 mg for a long time. I am a heart patient having pumping rate is low. ## What has your doctor advised? Ecosprin contains Aspirin and it is often given to cardiac patients, because of its blood thinning properties, since thinning the blood can help improve cardiac function. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, drowsiness, headache and stomach irritation. 10mgs is also a very low dose, most people on a daily regimen actually take 75 to 150mgs. ## what are the advantages and disadvantage of ecosprin 75mg, thyroxine 100mg, lipicure 20mg, xarelto 20mg? as I am on all these medications. ## Sir i am taling clopitova since four years after angeo astunt .but still i feel chest pain. What can i do.

My doctor said I had a positive urine for heroin but I don't do it. He gave me 60mg morphine sulfate for long term and oxycodone 15s. Also, is the morphine sulfate causing the test to be false positive? ## Hi I am a recovering addict. I've been clean for 10months I get tested randomly by urine test and my last test showed I'm positive for heroin but I'v never used it all Iv been taking is pain killers which I take for back and neck pain would that be way I failed the test ## Good God !!! Please tell me you are joking ? If you are on ms contin (morphine sulphate) prescribed from a doctor he himself should know FULL WELL that morphine will make you test positive on a general opiate screen just like codeine will as well for heroin. They are ment to do a specific opiate alka...

Hi... I was curious, should you always dress up to your pain management appointments? Or does it really matter? Thank you. Have a great day. ## Hi Diana, This is a very valid question, to say the least, especially when it comes to refilling narcotics and other controlled substances. Doctor's will probably think twice if someone walks in with their pajamas on vs business casual vs exercise clothes vs everyday attire you might wear out on a stroll through the park. I think that everyone's idea and perception of "looking presentable" is also likely to vary, whereas every doctor will likely have a different attitude about what they deem acceptable for their patients' appearance. That said, I honestly wouldn't be overly concerned about it. I'd just wear what you f...

My husband has had two failed cervical spine surgeries and is on the maximum amount of dilaudid you can get in the pain pump. He also has to take oral medication with little relief. He is going on 12 years of pain medicine and his doctor wants to try prialt. How is the pain on it and the side effects? He has COPD with one lung so we want to make sure he will not have breathing issues. If we could find something else to help with his pain it would be a Godsend. ## Hello. Sorry to hear about your husband's situation. I sincerely hope that he finds some relief soon, in one form or another, whether it be a single treatment option or many. And not all treatment options have to be medication. Aquatics (just moving around slowly in a pool) may help relieve muscle/spinal pressure from gravi...

PAIN MANAGEMENT DOCTORS ARE APPARENTLY REQUIRED TO DRUG TEST PATIENTS TO MAKE SURE THEY AREN'T USING DEADLY MIXTURES. THIS DOESN'T MEAN YOU FAIL IF YOU USE MARIJUANA BECAUSE RECENTLY, I ADMITTED (ON A QUESTIONAIRE) TO USING IT FOR BREAKTHROUGH PAIN. SINCE THEN, I HAVE TAKEN 3 DRUG TESTS AND MY DOCTOR HASN'T SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE POSITIVE RESULT I KNOW HAD TO SHOW. MY FRIEND GOES TO A DIFFERENT DOCTOR WHO TESTS HER AND THE STORY IS THE SAME. THANK GOODNESS FOR EDUCATED, UNDERSTANDING DOCTORS! ## Hi. I am looking for a Dr. in Alabama who is understanding about marijuana. I have smoked for 25 yrs and had to stop because of pain Doctors. Do you live in Alabama? Sincerely.

I have small round white pills with a 50 imprinted on one side and blank on the other. They are supposed to be hydrocodone. Any advice? ## Actually, a round white pill with 50 on one side that is blank on the opposite side is listed as containing 50mgs of Quetiapine, which is a antipsychotic that's used to treat conditions such as schizophrenia and depression. Learn more Quetiapine details here. It doesn't contain a narcotic of any type. Why did you think it was Hydrocodone? ## In re to the question about the small white pill with 50 on one side and blank on the other is Seraquel. It is treated for many different psycotropic conditions. But my doctor prescribe it as a mood stabilizer and I take it at bedtime for sleep. It is a medication that has to be monitored for to stop sudd...

My husband got a tooth cut out last week and was prescribed hydrocodone for the pain, he gets a monthly prescription for hydrocodone neways because of a back injury. Since the dosages are different he had a drug test just this Monday so will it show up as one medication or will the different dosages show up as well? He has a prescription for both but I was just wandering. Thanks for the help. ## I wrote a question earlier but I just re -read it and I meant to say miligrams (mg) instead of dosage. He's got 2 prescriptions for hydrocodone but one mg is different from the other so since they are different will it show up as hydrocodone? Or hydrocodone and their mg? He had a drug test on Monday so I was just wandering I'm not worried he's got a prescription for both but I just d...

My pain doc started me on embeda 80 last month. Before then I had seen a couple of other doctors. (My pain doc quit taking my ins) I couldn't find another doc for my ins so I went back and paid cash. Last I saw him was Dec 2015. Up until last month I had been going to reg doc to try to keep withdrawal off. I had been on ms coin 60 mg 3x day down to a frigging Norco 10. I went back last month (June 2016 and he put me on embeda 80 2x day. Works wonderfully! I called for my refill and his nurse said I had several different narcotics in me which I know better. I had to take a Norco yesterday (ran out embeda) and today I took a percocet. I see him tomorrow and I'm worried. I had 13 teeth pulled Fri and she wrote me the Norco. Will the perk show up different than embeda on a urine tes...

They are added so that one cannot dissolve the pills and administer them intravenously. Go ahead add some water to a pill and you will see what i mean. ## You are so wrong, that's not what they're for. Get help buddy. ## The specs in vicodin is only coloring solely for identification purposes. It helps distinguish them from similar pills. Being a narcotic it helps paramedics identify them in a possible overdose. Its not there to prevent abuse like some believe. ## I'm in treatment now for hep c. Sure am glad I have the strength to erase that enlightening news!!! Anyway, I had a feeling there was something up with that! ## The red spots in Vicodin are a dye so people do not insufflate the pill. They have also started putting blockers in them so people don't feel that ...

oval shaped white tablet of which bindo 100mg seems to make up last part of name ## Oval white pill capital A one side and 82 on the other side ## I've just found a bag of tablets, a full box of 300mg pregabalin, and a strip of tablets with A on one side and 82 on the other. I've looked up the pregabalin and they are now being taken as drugs and mixed with other opioids. I'm guessing the unnamed pill is some kind of sleeping pill (but that's just a guess).

HI EVERY BODY I NEED TO KNOW IF IT POSSIBLE TO TAKE VIAGRA OR CIALIS WHILE TAKING TRAMADOL ? IF SOME BODY KNOW PLEASE POST YOUR ANSWER ## Hi, im a med student. I read about tramadol &viagra or tramadol &cialis and there's no significant interactions known or found for these drugs. Caution always advised with multiple medications. Have a nice day ## Yes, I ran them as well and that is correct, there are no interactions listed, but you should double check this information with your doctor or pharmacist, just to be certain. Do you have any other questions? ## Interesting. I take tramadol for back and knee pain, because I have kidney problems that prohibit NSAID use. I take it when my back hurts and only then. There is no indication of addiction. I can stop easily. My girlfriend...

I have unreal pain from a cavity in a rear molar. hot or cold liquids create unbelievable pain in my jaw. I have a dental appointment in two weeks on Feb 10. I relayed this information to the dentist and the secretary said there is nothing that can be done until my appointment. I have tried aspirin and ibuprofen and there is no relief whatsoever from the pain. It is so bad I am not driving because the pain is such a distraction. I am not nor have I ever been addicted to any type of opioids or pain medication. What are my options for obtaining some kind of medication for the pain until my appointment? Should I go to the emergency room and explain my predicament? I realize there is no way for a medical professional to test for nor is there an indicator for pain but I am in agony from this...

Why do pain doctors have the right to judge you because you have pain? My goodness, it's on my MRI. What's wrong? I'm not lying about my pain. The problem with Norco is that they prescribed them to people who most certainly didn't need them, so those of us who really do need them have to suffer. These doctors need to be investigated, not me. Money and egos impaired their judgement. No more Marcus welbys that really care. Understand that innocent people are the ones who have to pay the price for these doctors' poor judgement. My advice is go under cover. You'll catch them. Especially Hillcrest pain doctors in Tulsa Oklahoma. They all go to the same country club I bet. I'm just saying somethings up. ## For me it's been tuff finding a pain doctor that always...

I've come across two of these white oblong pills with this exact marking on them on one side, no markigs on the other side. I was in a serious automobile accident a few years back and was prescribed several medications to help me deal with the pain I experienced as I was recovering. I cannot find any other clues as to their origin beyond that... Any hslp you can provide will be most appreciated! ## This pill you are talking about is a back and body pain pill. the only reason i know is cause my dad takes them for his pains ## To add some specific details, this tablet contains 500mgs of Aspirin and 32.5mgs of Caffeine and is most commonly used to treat headaches, it is available over the counter.

I take 15 mg oxycodone but found strange pills in my bottle. they are green round pill with a line down the middle and an A above line with 214 below the line. It is blank on the other side. I am afraid to take these if it's not the right medicine. ## The pill you have found are 15 mg Roxicodone or Oxycodone for generic. This is the same medicine that you have been taking, hope this helped. ## Oh, and by the way, if you find a blue round pill with the same markings except instead of 214 it will say 215, it is a 30 mg Oxycodone, which obviously is double your normal dose. ## That is correct, the A 214 tablets also contain 15mgs of Oxycodone, the active ingredient in Roxicodone, a narcotic analgesic. This happens, once in awhile, if your pharmacy runs out of one manufacturer's tab...

I went to my suboxone doctor today and it showed up as opiates. He asked me if I had relapsed and I said 'no, what are you talking about?' He said it showed positive for opiates, so now I have to go back in the morning. He said he would send it to the lab to test it specifically for lyrica, because he said just tell me the truth and I told him I had taken lyrica today and neurontin and lyrica yesterday as well, so it does show up as opiates for sure!!! ## No it doesnt I go to a methadone clinic and every test I take tests for opiates. Lyrica doesnt show up it takes a special test just like gabepentin.

My pharmacy and spine doctor are both very reputable. I went in as normal to get my 45 duragesic (fentanyl) patches in 50 mcg strength and was told pharmacy is out of stock and cannot order anymore! Each and every pharmacy says they have it and when I go in to get the prescription filled they say they are out. The range is Walgreens, CVS, hospital pharmacies, you name it and I have spent all day on buses to other locations. I live in SFV and Santa Monica. I called the Attorney General, the Governor, the manufacturer, DEA - no one will talk and most say they are unaware of the problem. All pharmacies tell me they are unable to order them. What is going on? I must be targeted for some reason and have asked. No one is complaining or posting any concerns. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. I AM SENIOR W...

I have been taking Tramadol for at least 9 years now for chronic post-surgical right knee pain, back pain, and Arthritis. They just took Tramadol off of the $4 list at wal-mart and Target. I do not like narcotics because they make me feel sick, and have horrible withdrawal symptoms and side effects. I am already physically dependent on the Tramadol so I don't want to make it any worse by adding a Narc to it. I am allergic to NSAIDS to the point that if I take them it will kill me, Tramadol is becoming to expensive, and Tylenol doesn't even come close to alleviating my pain, I am in so much pain all of the time...what pain meds can I take that isn't expensive,works well on severe bone and joint pain and not an NSAID??? ## Actually, Tramadol is classified as an opiate/narcotic...
