1500mg of oxy or roxi a day. Give or take 300mg ## @Mike, Your description is a bit vague, so I don't know what it is you might be referring to with that type of dosage in mind, but I've never heard of anyone taking 1500mgs of Oxycodone in a day! That sounds like it's far beyond the point of someone abusing it; maybe for someone who just wants to put an end to their life. Even for severe cancer patients, the average daily dose of controlled release Oxycontin can range from 20mg to 640mg per day. And for immediate release, doses higher than 30mg are rarely needed or prescribed. So I guess my question to you is, why would you recommend such a remotely high dosage of this drug knowing that very few people don't even take half of what you suggested? ## 1500mg a day is a deat...

I remember getting into the car and and driving in my neighborhood. Later I briefly woke up when I drove off the road onto the sidewalk and the emergency crew was there. Later, didn't know that I was in the hospital for 4 hours. They called it synope. I was asked to use a reduced amount completely. I could have been killed! ## Did they say it was definitely caused by the Lyrica? It is possible, but it can also be caused by many things. Syncope just describes a temporary loss of consciousness. If you have been advised to stop taking it, then you should definitely do so. Do you have any specific questions? ## As a nurse who was prescribed this medication in the past. It is my recommendation to stop taking it now. This is a very common side effect. For me, it caused completly memory bl...

My insurance will not pay for any more Fentanyl patches and now I have switched to 60mg Morphine slow release. Will that be as good as the patches? I have terminal Colon Cancer. Thank you. ## Hi that will be just has good but you must aske for tablets for break away pain as i am on 60mg of morphine twice daily but you must aske your doctor for oxycodone as that will work straight away morphine slow release doesnt i hope this helps i live in england i am lucky we dont pay for our perscriptions all the best carolx ## Fentanyl is actually over 80 times stronger than Morphine and while they are both effective narcotics, you may need to work with your doctor to get the dosing just right for you to handle your pain. The side effects will also be very similar, so you may experience: nausea, di...

round blue pill with a score line on one side and 225 on the other side ## Well, first I would like to state that there ARE NO Percocets that contain more than 10mgs of Oxycodone, so a 30mg tablet does not exist. That said, I also cannot find a pill with this marking in any of the databases or resources that I have checked. It is more than likely something available over the counter. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## I don't know of a percocet 30??? Please advise ## The closest thing I have come across is a round blue pill with a score mark on one side and the number 224 on the other (not 225). THAT pill is a straight Oxycodone 30 mg manufactured by Caraco Pharmaceuticals. The difference between this and what the title of this thread states is that it does NOT contain the A...

hydrocodone ## Cipla is the name of a pharmaceutical and nutritional manufacturer, not the name of a medication. Are there any markings on the medication in question? The FDA warns that Hydrocodone carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, headache, constipation, drowsiness, and dry mouth.

I have a terrible toothache. I'm taking antibiotics, but the 800mg Motrin wears off within 4 hours, should I take a naproxen, or another Motrin with some food? ## You should take whatever medication your doctor has prescribed. It is best not to double on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories without their approval, since doing so may increase the risk of bleeding, and stomach ulceration, according to FDA reports. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, and headache. How are you doing now? Has there been any change?

Help! I've been on suboxone for 3 years and havent really had any relapses, especially in the last year. I have the flu of death currently and couldn't resist my mom offering me two of her lortab 10 mgs. That was about 12 hours ago. I can't tell if I'm having wds or not, honestly the pills didn't even help that much, and I'd like to take my sub asap. BUT since its my last one until the insurance prior authorization goes through, tomorrow or the next day, I'm only going to be able to take half my dose of suboxone. How long do I have to wait for wds to usually start? Like I said it didn't even feel like the lortab did anything ## Thought this made more sense :( it meant to say that I can't tell if what I'm having Is wds because I have had the worst ...

The FDA warns that this medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, dizziness, nervousness, and insomnia. Are there any questions?

White Watson 10/325 Norco is ineffective and did not show in my system! How did that happen??? I want my yellow Norco back. Anyone know who carries these nationally? ## Qualitest is the yellow one. The white ones do not work. ## Pharmacies vary on the generics they carry. They may carry one generic this week and not have it again for a few weeks, months or the rest of the year. You have to call right before you go and ask to speak to the Pharmacist. Ask the Pharmacist if they carry a particular generic brand. Be sure and tell the Pharmacist how many tablets your prescription is for and the mg. If you can't get this info over the phone, ask to speak to the Pharmacist Before you turn your prescription in. ## Is the (yellow 3601 V) Better then the White Watson ## @Brad, The overall con...

I just went to my dr and they said suboxone showed up when i'm prescribed 160 percocet 10mgs a month. Is it possible that its am false positive? I have never taken the drug suboxone, my dr cut my off. Please help ## Hi Celina, Interestingly enough, Suboxone (Buprenorphine) has been known to test false positive for Oxycodone. That said, I'm certain it can go both ways. From my perspective, drug testing facilities like to put the blame on "you" for their own mistake. They define it as a 'false-positive' as opposed to a 'mistake' on their part, to take the liability away from them and back on you, the patient for "taking something you shouldn't have taken". They have the choice to use better drug testing equipment, such as a gas chromatograph mas...

Are the oxycodone pills white and round with 397 on one side? I have what I thought was percocet 7.5. ## A white round pill with 397 on one side and blank on the other, reportedly contains 500mgs of Metformin HCL, used for treating type-2 diabetes. For verification, the manufacturer is listed as Sun (Caraco) Pharma and the pill itself carries a National Drug Code of 57664-397. You can view an image of the pill by clicking on the NDC link above. The size of the pill is also said to be approx. 11.00 mm Hope this helps!

Besides being on the patch. It seems after the second day on the night before I change it every 3 days, I have much pain, and can not sleep. Where I live, not many stock this, and it seems I get a different one (brand) every month. My actual question is, can I get the patch and use them every two days, instead of three? It would make my life so much better, and always having to call my Dr. a day or two before visits. I know I had read it takes some time without it. Not for me. I feel the withdrawals within 10-12 hours. Thank you. ## Yes, it can be changes as often as every 48 hours, instead of every 72. There are many people that have to use it that way, especially once they become tolerant to the higher dosage every 3 days and it is no longer effective, which seems to be exactly what y...

I've never seen one thats white? ## Hello, Ace! How are you? Sorry about the confusion, I'm happy to clear this up for you. Norco is manufactured by Watson Pharmaceuticals and they have been removing the dye from all of their products, due to the fact that some people were sensitive or allergic to them. Over the past few months, they've all been slowly changing to white tablets. Is there anything else I can help with? ## As congress did whatever they did 4 months ago, after many years of difficult pain management, a regimen that was productive at least as being independent, then generic 10/325 already with side effect issues from other pain medicine. After much work my needed to function Norco was approved. Thinking no more nausea, and house work can not be so dreaded, to ge...

I have been taking Norco 10/325 for quite a long time. I take 3 pills a day and i guess there is supposed to be a certain level in your urine. Yesterday my Dr accused me of taking way to many and wanted to know where i was getting my pills at and i was shocked and told him "you prescribe these to me" and he more or less called me a liar saying i am taking way more than he gives me. I dont understand why the levels are so high. Is there anything that can cause this to happen? Please help. ## According to NIH studies, this could happen due to dehydration, other medications you may be taking, and some dietary issues, or supplements. Are you on any other medications? Do you make sure to drink plenty of liquids? Has anything else changed in your diet, or exercise routine recently? Ho...

I have a white round pill 10/325. On the other side it has RP. Who makes it? ## Hello, Mickey! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, it's a generic for Percocet.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERCOCET M357 AND PERCOCET 512 ## M357 is NOT percocet, it is a different class of narcotic pain reliever called lorcet or hydrocodone. it is a generic version and not as strong as a perc 5/12 ## That is correct, M357 contains 500mgs of Acetaminophen and 5mgs of Hydrocodone, so this is not an equivelent to Percocet, but, as stated above, a generic for Vicodin or Lortab. It is still a narcotic pain reliever, but not as strong as those containing Oxycodone. This pill marked 512 contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen and 5mgs of Oxycodone and is a generic for Percocet. Side effects are similar for both and can include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
