How long until it's safe to take a saliva drug test after taking two 10/325 hydrocodone? ## I have a script for Norco for my knee, back and neck pain. Am looking for a job. Took 2 tabs 11-15-14 between 6am and 10:30 am. Was so sore from raking leaves. My script allows 4 per day as needed. How long until it will not appear in a saliva test for a job? And does it make a difference that I have a legal script? ## Can an oral DT test negative for hydrocodone after 2 days? I go to pain management and they randomly test. I couldn't provide a urine spec so they did a mouth swab. I had 2 of my prescription 10-325 norco on Sunday but on Tuesday morning they did the oral swab and it tested negative. Is that normal? Is it possible? I weigh 112 and have a high metabolism. Any help appreciate...

What strengths is stronger than Hydrocodone 7.50 -325, I have been on vicodin for over 15yrs from a car wreck where I almost died and my back and nerves is messed up for life. My dr. and I have been talking about going to Oxycodone? ## There is a 10/325mg Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen that is available, as well as the Oxycodone formulations, that are stronger. What dose has your doctor advised? 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, drowsiness, and constipation. There is also a formulation of Hydrocodone that is available by itself, time released without the Acetaminophen, Oxycodone by itself, Morphine, Hydromorphone, Oxymorphone, and Fentanyl. ## The Oxycodone 325 (5 mg) is stron...

I take 8 30 mg tablets a day. It is not working as well as It could I have deveveloped a tolerence. What is the max the doc can give me per day in number of pills or miligrams. Thanks very much for your help. I have life long pain from a rare nevre deasease that causes the worst pain I think someone could feel. It feels like you are constantly being stung by yellow jackets all over your body, but never goes away. Any answer will help. The med works Great. I just hope I am not at the end of the rope on dosage? ## No, you are actually nowhere near the end of the possible dosing for Oxycodone. The maximum dosage that anyone can be given in a day is actually 1,600mgs or 1.6grams, currently, you are only at 240mgs daily. The caveat, however, is that you can't just jump to that high of a ...

Regarding KVK Tech oxycodone 30mg / K-9...Garbage! I have serious pain from two separate problems. Bottom line is Walgreens switched from Activis to KVK recently and I noticed the difference within one day, pain waking me more than usual and early withdrawal sensations. I should add that I don't misuse or abuse, all I want is pain relief. I'm fed up with fighting every step of the way to manage my pain (resulting from injuries sustained as a firefighter/medic and a connective tissue disease) Thanks to the war on drugs and so many people overdosing, the government has the doctors and pharmacies all running scared, etc.. So people who are legit and truly suffering every day are screwed. Seems like they forgot about us. I wish these people AND the addicts/abusers could feel what ch...

is this pill a generic percocet ## There is a round one with this imprint that contains Oxycodone CR, the generic for Oxycontin, so this one might as well, but I cannot find any confirmation on it. Was it found in the U.S. or elsewhere? ## Can someone tell me that E64 blue pill is and there's nothing on the other side of it what is that pill and what does it do

Fentanyl is Extremely Dangerous and Very Addicting. If You Can Avoid Being Put On This Medication-Then PLEASE, PLEASE DO SO... They do not call Fentanyl Patches "The Devil's Drug" for nothing.

I ran out of mine of my 5 mg oxycodone ir so my grandmother gave me one of her oxycodone 5/325mgs. Will it test the same at my doctor tomorrow? ## Yes they are the same except one has Tylenol in it. ## Yes it will because it is the same the only difference being the addition or the absence of Tylenol. ## They are the same the 5/325 has asprin. Only diff! You will be fine! ## My probation urine test got sent to the lab for oxy I'm prescribed 5mg oxycodone but have been taking 30mg oxycodone are they going to be able to tell the difference and I'm not worried about the levels just if they can tell the difference and also if there sending it for oxy what do you think the chances are they'll test for everything else as well ## I am prescribed 5mg oxycodone for pain.

Hello - I got my prescription refilled for Norco 539's, but I have always had the 853's with Watson on them. Some key differencws are the new ones are very chalky and can be broken easily while the 853's are much harder and break with a snap not a crumble. Also it's easy to scratch the norco 539 off of the face. Please let me know if anyone one has any experience with these and if they could be bad? Thanks ## How soft and crumbly a pill is depends on the inactive ingredients that the manufacturer has chosen to use. The FDA has a list of inactives which are classified under: generally considered as safe, and manufacturers can use whichever they wish from that list. These are ingredients that are considered safe for human consumption and to not have an effect on the effica...

Can they detect the difference between a Tylenol 3 and hydrocodone? I have a prescription for Tylenol 3 and ran out so I took a few hydrocodones. Just wanna know if they can't tell the difference in a drug test? ## I too have a script for Tylenol 4 but have taken a hydrocodone and I have a test coming up.

I was taking 2 white 5mg oxycodone IR tabs 2x/day but they were only partially useful in reducing my pain. My doctor reluctantly prescribed 2 pink 10 mg oxycodone IR (= 20mg) tabs every 12 hours. The number 048 is on these tabs. I have had them for three days now and I am taking them as prescribed, but they do not seem to work nearly as well as the former 5mg white tabs. Is this an issue that is simply in my head or is there a reason why taking 2 of the pink 10 mg tabs twice a day aren't working like I thought they would? Again, the number on the pink 10mg tabs reads 048. Thank anyone who has some substantive feedback to my question. ## Are you taking an otc Tylenol with the pink 10? Maybe if the 5mg you werr previously taking had Tylenol in it maybe that also helped with the Odin a...

Don't relieve pain. Avoid them, they may have 3 or 4 mg of oxycodone in them, but only the manufacturer in India would know.sarc. ## I am very sorry that this medication didn't work for you, with some slight fluctuations in generics, not all of them work for everyone. However, the manufactured is Caraco, which is under Sun Pharma and they are actually currently based in Detroit, Michigan…not India. And regardless of where a medication is manufactured, if it is approved by the FDA and available in the U.S. it has to meet the same quality and efficacy standards as any other. Is there anything else I can help with? ## my girlfriend has been taking oxycodone 30mg for years for chronic back pain,and yesterday she filled her medication and got stuck with these horrible caraco...

I need to know what the best generic brand name is for oxycodone 15mg is? ## Hello, Derek! How are you? They are all equivalent, but for various reasons, some work better for some people than others. The only thing you can really do is try the one that your pharmacy has available and see if it alleviates your pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Several of us have found the oxycodone manufactured by ZyGenerics to be very effective. We are unable to purchase this brand at Walgreens, Safeway or Kroger stores. Suggest you look for a smaller independent pharmacy that can carry the products they choose. Walgreens, Safeway, and Kroger are pushing pain products by KVK Tech Inc. that we have found to be absolutely "poison pills". Suggest you stay away from their products if ...

Some people did about as good of a job explaining that as my 3 year old. Thanks A LOT, I feel so much better now to have read the obvious Cr controlled release to IR instant release. Just a heads up, some dumb nurses do prescribe as hcl and you get the worst generic possible if they do, so care to imply. ## Hello, Carolyn! How are you? As to the release formulations, what other details do you require? That is the only difference, the time released CR is released over a period of 12 hours, while the IR is released instantly and the regular release takes about 15 to 20 minutes to start working and it's all released immediately, as well. As to the HCL, that actually has no effect on the medication you receive from your pharmacy. HCL stands for Hydrochloride, which designates the specif...

I am currently taking Tramadol for lower back pain. It is not cutting it. It has been suggested to me to try Norco or Vicodin for more strentgh. do you agree? ## Norco and Vicodin are both brand names for the same medication, which is Acetaminophen coupled with the narcotic Hydrocodone. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, constipation, dizziness and dry mouth. However, only you and your doctor can decide if it is necessary for you to try something else. Is it your doctor that's advising you to do so? ## actually it is a registered nurse I know. I want to ask my doctor about it after I get some more info. I am also taking "SOMA" as a muscle relaxer.

I have used this since the 80s now I can't find it anywhere. Why? ## Hello, Sheila! How are you? From what I found listed with the FDA, Ornex contains Acetaminophen and Pseudoephedrine, which means that it is no longer kept over the counter in the store. You don't need a prescription, but you do need to ask for a medication like this at your pharmacy and sign for your purchase. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, insomnia, dry mouth and nervousness. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I remember Brondecon in the early 80's and I can categorically say it is the most disgusting tasting thing I've ever had put down my throat!
