I was prescribed hydrocodone 5/apa 325 mg 1 tablet every 3 hrs for shingles pain. white oblong capsules w/m365 on 1 side half cutting mark on other side.is this a large dosage and have 100 capsules--just started & will only use as needed ## im sure there is other things you can do to help for the pain if you didnt want to take so many pills? there's an old remedy using cannabis being fermented in natural oils very effective interested in learning more? ## No, it's not a large dose. Hydrocodone comes in 5, 7.5 & 10 mg hydrocodone with 325 tylenol in each tablet. The higher doses are usually every 4-6 hrs. ## BL is correct, that is not a high dose. However, the FDA does warn that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as co...

does any one know anything about a drug called teboxin it is being used for people addicted to lortabs ## Is it possible that you misunderstood the name? Is there a chance you were referring to the medication Suboxone? It contains Buprenorphine, which is an opiate, and Naloxone, which is used to prevent the abuse of other opiates, while someone is under treatment with it. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, and constipation.

i just want to know if it is a pain killer ## Yes, Tramadol is a mild opioid analgesic. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Are there any other questions? Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been taking Hydrocodone for my abdominal pain and also recently starting taking Redotex. Is it ok if I took the Hydrocodone and 1 or 2hrs later I take Redotex. I really dont know if taking those pills to combine will make me sick. ## What issue is causing your abdominal pain? Has your doctor been able to provide any diagnosis, yet? I'd really suggest not adding anything else, without their approval, in case such supplements might be aggravating, or causing your condition. Just because something is touted as being natural, and/or is available over the counter, doesn't mean that it may not cause problems, and it doesn't mean that it may not cause side effects. The FDA warns that Hydrocodone carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as naus...

I'm prescribed oxy 30s but was out and took maybe the amount of a oxy30 but it was heroin. I've never used before but have to take drug test today and I took it last night will it still come out as a opiate? ## Did u get an answer to this question? I am in the same boat as u and was wondering what the answer was to ur question ## a 10 panel test will tell if it is duiladid/morphine, or hydros, or oxycontin/oxycodone/percocet/roxicet, i believe heroin will fall into the oxy-opiate zone but if not it will be in the hydromorph-opiate zone ......but im not sure which ## No no no heroin will show up as an opiate clear and simple. Oxy might show as morphine depending on the test kit but I have been on oxy and unless it tests for Oxy it won't show up and won't show as an opiate...

For 37 yrs I have had a crippling form of arthritis which has caused multiple, serious surgeries and from which I am in constant pain. Despite having tried almost, if not every pain Med on the market, only OxyContin and oxycodon provide some relief And unlike all others, I have not had an allergic reaction to either. How do I find a new pain management Dr. In Mpls/st. Paul who will prescribe the only medications I can safely take? ## Pain management clinics which prescribe OxyContin and oxycodon for chronic pain

It is a rx cough syrup. I can't find it and was wondering if it had codeine in it. ## NO, IT HAS ACETAMINOPHEN/HYDROCODNE IN IT!!!!!!!!! ## One active ingredient that BJT didn't list is Brompheniramine, in addition the Acetaminophen, and Hydrocodone. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, headache, and dry mouth. Do you know what dosage has been prescribed?

round white pill, contains codeine ## The markings are sometimes hard to read, was it possible that it was actually 93 150 3? If Teva Pharmaceuticals lists this tablet as containing 30mgs of Codeine and 300mgs of Acetaminophen. Can you please double check and post back? Thank you! The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

what are the side effects of drinking beer (too much) while taking oxycodone, can there be brain damage? ## It is a possibility, according to FDA reports, such a mix could also be fatal, since they both act as depressants of the central nervous system, which could result in lowered rates of respiration, and heart rate, any of which could suddenly drop too low and result in death. Thus, it is best to avoid alcohol, while taking such prescription medications. Has this happened to someone you know?

small white pill m on one side 0550 on the other ## what does a 10 mg oxycodone look like with M on one side? ## Is the marking possibly M 05 52? If so, the tablet is manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 5mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Josh, what are the markings on the pill in question? Can you please post back and clarify? There are several companies that use an M logo.

it is a capsule and it's purple and orange ## This is Droxia R or hydroxyurea. It is used to treat the pain of sickle cell anemia...a fatal disease. It is not a narcotic pain medication like you might think. It only works for pain for this specific disease. Do not ingest it unless you have sickle cell! ## Teva Pharmaceuticals lists this tablet as containing 500mgs of Hydroxyurea, it is most commonly used to treat some forms of cancer, such as chronic myeloid leukemia, and certain types of skin cancer. The FDA lists typical side effects nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, itchiness of the skin, weight loss, and constipation. Is there anything I can help with?

My sister came here from another state and is taking Embeda. She now wants to get more meds, and shows she is unable to be accountable, taking all of her meds within a 10 day window instead of her prescribed 30 days. She is on two other short-acting opioids but doesn't want or care to know that any opioid has eventually a high tolerance level. I know this because I am on Fentanyl transdermal and Morphine IR. This eventually does happen no matter who you are and has happened to me. I just have a provider who changes my immediate release meds up six months. This prevents me from totally get accustomed to the med and I have complete pain breakdowns. What can I do to help my sister? Anything? She moved a week ago from Florida to Utah. Four years ago my mother passed away. My mother at t...

My wife has a bad heart, and pain effects her heart. these actavis percocet must be nothing but phony material. they dont even touch her pain like watson pills did. this company should not be able to cheat the public like this. peoples heath is at stake. they need to be shut down. why are these companies allowed to sell products that don't even work. people pay to get their pain taken care of. does cvs not care either, they are accepting these. ## There are others complaining about actavis on this website. look around a little ## Hello, Stan!

I have an active prescription for Nalbuphine but can't seem to get it filled anywhere. The FDA website has been updated and says that it is available again but I don't know where. Does anyone have any ideas?? I'm getting tired of ending up in the ER and being treated with a multitude of medications that don't work in the end anyway. ## Hi, Tammy! Can you please post back with your general location? That will likely help you to get more responses, since it will enable people to suggest a pharmacy in your area, if they know of one.

I've been taking only 1mg or less of suboxone for a little over 2 months. I've been off of it for 5 days now but I felt so crappy I had to take a few hydrocodone 10mg each day to get through work. Will this only prolong the suboxone wothdrawls or is it ok to take a few just until the major withdrawls from the subs last? Please help! I don't want to make this process any worse than it has to be ## Hello, Lilly! How are you? You should really get professional help with this issue, that would be the best thing to do. If you continue taking several Hydrocodone tablets each day, you're may just end up trading one addiction for another, which could create an even worse mess for yourself.

Can these be taken simultaneously? I have two separate bottles and have been advised by a friend they are the same ## Hello, Shelly! How are you? You're friend is correct, they are the same. The bitarate just designates the specific chemical salt that the medication was derived from and it was left off of the one label. 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is hydrocodone bitartrate a less potent pain reliever than just the hydrocodone without bitartrate in it? ## According to wikipedia, A bitartrate is a salt or monoester of tartaric acid. And from what I understand, the presence of bitartrate simply affects a ...

I take 5mg of oxycodone about once a day for a TKR, I don't normally mix drugs and alcohol but I was bored so I waited 16hrs before I had 3 mixed drinks, each mixed drink I had was in a tall glass with less then a 1/4 of hard liquor and a lot of ice and to the top with pop and it took me 5hrs to drink 3 drinks and now its been 5hrs sense my last drink so how long do I have to wait to take a 5mg of oxycodone and no I didn't get a buzz from the drinks and I'm still myself (normal). ## Brenda, It sounds like you already know the answers, you're just looking for permission to justify imbibing and ingesting a powerful narcotic opiate/opioid. MOST folks here are genuinely attempting to provide valid information not to pass judgement on anyone's behavior. Someone with a min...

twice now I have noticed this with my vintage yellow 10/325 norcos.... some of the time the V on the other side is facing upwards, and on some of the other pills it is facing downwards. Why is this? if they have pill presses made one way then why are some pills with the V up and some with the V down. both times I noticed this because it seemed to me the pills were not working at all and they taste sweet. this happened to my script 8 months ago and now they are not working again and I checked and again the V is upside down. if you face the 3601 rightside up, and turn the pill over, some of them have the V up and some of them have the V down, how can they get turned around in a pill press by the manufacturer and end up upside down? I just find it very odd when they do not seem to work, I ...
