I took morphine twice a day for a week, that is percsribed to be taken every 12 hours. i took 2-3 a day for a week. how long will this be in my system? ## The elimination half-life of morphine is approximately 120 minutes, though there may be slight differences between men and women. Morphine can be stored in fat, and, thus, can be detectable even after death. Unless you didn't obtain Morphine by prescription, you should not worry how long it stays in your system. In hair samples, it can be detected forever; in pee, it depends on several factors, including: Your metabolism rate (which is determined by gender, age, diet, genetic makeup, disease state (if any), and use of other medications), and when you took the pills in relation to the time of your drug test. Generally, it is out of...

small round blue pill scored on only 1 side with K 9 on scored side. unscored side has no other markings ## This is a generic 30mg Oxycodone instant release tablet. ## It is 30mgs of Oxycodone, but it is NOT an instant release tablet, it is a regular release tablet, a generic for Roxicodone, this is a potent narcotic pain reliever. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and dizziness. You can read more on it here: Do you have any questions? ## Yes, it is immediate release as opposed to extended release (OxycONTIN). There is no regular release. IR and ER, immediate and extended. That's it. ## I have "short gut syndrome" so I am very aware of absorption rates for pills (especially pain pills) for instance, the original Oycontin would come out of my stom...

I'm on Adderall and Subutex. I'm 40 yrs old with 7 kids. I'm really ill right now and can't work but want to do better in life for once. Please let me know what a roxy 10mg pill looks like? ## Hi Regina, Sorry to hear about your illness. My thoughts and prayers go out to you for a complete recovery from whatever it may be that's causing you this pain/concern. Medications such as roxicodone may be available in a number of different colors or imprints depending on who and where they're being manufactured. However, in my findings the 10mg dosage form is one that does not appear to exist at all. Only 5mg, 15mg and 30mg tablets are available by its US manufacturer, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals in accordance with the following National Drug Codes: 23635-580 (5mg); 2363...

does roxicet show up as perocet on a 12 panel drug test a friend taken a roxicet from when she had them before and she needs to know if they come up the same. ## Yes, the active narcotic in both of them is Oxycodone, so both would show up the same on a drug test. the other active ingredient Acetaminophen, is not tested for on these. The one thing, however, that she does have to watch out for are the levels of it that are in her system. Many of these types of tests not only look for the presence of the relevant narcotic(s), but also how much of it is in someone's system. There are certain levels, within a given range, that they will expect to see in someone that is taking them regularly, as prescribed. If someone's levels are too low, this is a warning sign to the doctor that the...

Can I take Percocet and Robaxin together for pain? ## Hello, Jenny! How are you? As long as your doctor has prescribed them both and approves. Muscle relaxants and analgesics are often prescribed together to help someone control pain. However, they both can increase sedation, so you shouldn't combine them, if your doctor hasn't specifically instructed you to do so. You should also know to watch for any possible danger signs, such as extreme nausea, dizziness, sedation and shallow breathing. Typical side effects to Robaxin may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache and dry mouth. Percocet 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 els...

Would like to know where I can find Heet liniment ## Maybe you can call your doc or pharmacist and tell them the active ingredients (and amounts), and they can make it for you. Pharmacists are usually able to mix serums together as needed.

oxycontin 40mg versus opana 30mg, which one helps most? ## It really depends on the person and which one works better for them. The 30mgs of Opana, in this case, is the more potent of the two, if that's what you're asking. 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? ## I know this is a very old post but i just had to say the Opana is no more but the generic(oxymorphone 30mg ER) is still available and BLOWS EVERYTHING out of the water by far including the oxycontin 80's n especially a 40mg oxycontin thats all

I've taken gabapentin,norco, and then oxycodone. I was taken off the oxycodone recently because I was talking the max six pills a day and my pain was still unbearable. I have five bulging disc and a pinched nerve in my back. I have spinal stenosis. This has caused pain throughout my left side down to my feet. I'm also a diabetic with nerve damage. I'm scared to do multiple rounds of injections in my back. Is there anything I can take to help me at least get some rest. I had to quit my job because I can't sit or stand and the pain is too much ## Hello, Cindy! How are you? There are many other medications to choose from, including Oxycodone in higher doses, without the Acetaminophen. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause si...

Hi, my husband has chronic pain from multiple surgeries and has been on 30 mg oxycodone, 2-4 times a day. He found a Doctor to write him a script for 10 days worth of meds, but we can NOT find a pharmacy who carries it or who will give it to him as he just moved here from Out of state.. He had been getting the medication for years at a Walgreens in his previous state of residence, but no Walgreens or any other pharmacy will help us here! We also tried, Cvs, Publix and Walmart. All say they don't carry it or won't give it to us because he is new to Broward County. Any help is appreciated!!! Thank You. :) ## You could try seeing if the doctor will call to verbally authorize the prescription to the pharmacist in addition to the hard copy of the script. If the doctor explains why yo...

Anyone know a good Dr in Utah who can prescribe opiate meds? My husband has verybad bbulging and herniated discs in his back, arthritis in his spine and fibromyalgia and usually takes 60mg morphine e.r but since moving here we can't find a Dr that will fill his RX they all want him to do physical therapy when it doesn't work... ## Hello, Buddhagrl! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. He might be creating part of the problem himself, if he's calling doctors or going to appointments and asking them to prescribe this medication. It is a highly addictive, controlled substance and most doctors will view that as being drug seeking behavior. What he needs to do is set up an appointment with a pain management specialist and make sure that they g...

I'm pregnant and have a neck condition which requires oxycodone hcl 10mg 4x per day. Now my doctor has said I should stop taking aspirin because there is a small amount of bleeding. (Not close to the baby.). I'm concerned there is aspirin in the oxycodone. I'd stop taking it immediately if I could. (I can some days take 3.) I appreciate help on this! ## Hello, Nicole! How are you? Congratulations on the pregnancy! No, Oxycodone is the active ingredient in it. It is an opiate narcotic. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. However, if you want to be sure, I will gladly double check for you, if you can post back with the markings on the tablet you are taking. C...

Does oxycodone 80mg have aspirin in it? I do not have prescription insurance but I used to and I am fighting to get it back. I need to know. I take oxycontin; but oxycodone is cheaper. Please reply asap. I suffer from chronic pain. ## No, if it is prescribed as just Oxycodone, or Oxycontin, it doesn't contain Aspirin, or any other active ingredient. 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. However, Oxycontin is the only time released formulation that is available. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Stop taking s*** for pain. This will eventually give you more problems in life like addiction to painkillers where you ruin your life and the lives aroun...

if i have filled a prescription for vicodin can get percocet few days later without trouble from the pharmacy not filling because I had the other medicine filled. ## Hello, Pat! How are you? I'm not sure what the policy is on this now and suggest you check with your pharmacy. If you've been prescribed the Percocet to replace the other, since it's a stronger analgesic, they may fill it. However, if you're trying to take both, at the same time, they likely won't. Is there anything else I can help with? ## That's correct! It depends on the Vicodin amount & usually if the second script is stronger they will have to fill it! If you make this a habit though, The pharmacy will deny you & the government will probably get involved~You can go to jail for this now! ...

What is the difference between qualitest brand Hydrocodone/Acet 10/325 with a V on one side and 36 01 on the other side of this yellow pill, as opposed to Mallinckrodt white pill with the same strength?

What the heck did they take vicodin off the market for? I know acetaminophen.... bad for your liver?.. the main ingreediant in over the counter tylenol.
