How do I get prescribed oxycodone in mexico? I'm in Guadalahara and im getting major surgery done, but they do not prescribe oxycodone. They gave me a prescription for tramadol to try, but it doesn't work. im having surgery in the morning and I cant bear the thought of the pain I will be having. I told him tramadol doesn't work foe me but he says they no longer have oxy's in mexico. Help! is there anything I can do or take that's strong enough? p.s. my tolerance is really high because ive been in and out of surgery for the past 20yrs. ## I have back pain and neck pain due to an accident. For several years I got few prescriptions, but now all medicine prescribed is not helping. ## Well, I just don't believe Oxy's are no longer available in Mexico that's fo...

Is narcotic pain medicine becoming a thing of the past? Why are doctors across America phasing out the practice of prescribing effective pain medication? Will big pharmaceutical companies ever truly understand what it's like to face the other side of the coin? Lately there's been a musty scent in the air surrounding the use of prescribed narcotic pain medication. Many doctors appear to be running scared as the DEA scours through fields of medical records, inspecting prescribing pads like a mouse scavenges for food in a dimly lit cellar. Should the day come when doctors recommend Ibuprofen to a feeble man who's been involved in a terrible car accident (breaking several bones / requiring extensive surgery), is this doctor at risk of malpractice when there are more effective op...

What is the color for 37.5-325? ## My Mother (Yes, it's Mother's Day) was taking Tramadol APAP, 37.5 mg, for many months with apparently good results. However, a refill came back with a different colored and shaped tablet and has caused her nausea. The original one was an oval, orange tablet with 083 embossed on one side and the letters KALI on the other. Does anyone know where to find this particular brand of Tramadol? Thank you, for my Mom. ## That is because you were given a different version of this drug in generic form with a different manufacturer. I would call the pharmacy that dispensed you the orange colored tablets and ask them which manufacturer made it, and if they can order it for her for the refills, since the other is giving her unnecessary side effects. Happy Mot...

why is the 224 twice the size as other blue roxi's? ## The reason some "BLUES" (street name) are larger than others is because every pill contains a "filler" wether it be a pain reliever like asprin or even just a simple substance that helps keep the pills shape and strength so it doesn't crumble to dust very easily. Another reason they are different sizes are for safety reasons so you can't easily get pills confused with one another and accidentally take something that could harm you. Last but not least they are different sizes and shapes so they can be found and described by anyone who knows enough to use the Internet to check to see what you are taking,if all pills looked the same this would not be very easy. Hope this is one of the answers you were lookin...

I'm 70 years old and fell off a chair 7 days ago. Now I have a huge bruise over my abdomen. My Dr said it's probably tissue damage. I'm in agony. I think my collarbone may be broke. Why he didn't ask for an x-ray? Any clues appreciated. I'm also on Aspirin daily. Could that cause extreme bruising? ## Yes, Aspirin thins your blood, which could make you bruise easier, or worse than usual, the FDA also warns about other side effects that may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach irritation. Ref: Aspirin Information As to the x-ray, did you specifically tell him that you were having pain in the collar bone area? Have you tried going to an ER for an evaluation, and x-ray? ## If you’re able, go to urgent care. They can handle a lot of stuff with less than ...

White round pill, top half says I, bottom says 135..... The back is blank. What is it? ## Hello, Chase! How are you? I'm sorry, but I don't see a listing in the NIH databases for a round tablet with this marking. Could you please double check and post back? I do see one for a tablet with a marking of IP 135 that is round, and white, which is manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals, they list it as containing 200mgs of Ibuprofen, which is used to treat pain, fever, and headache. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. ## Allopurinol. Hopefully, because it was just given to my daughter by Walgreens, however, the pill she got from CVS last month looked larger. We've been looking...

I would like to know if Hydroco/apap 10-500mg tablets are still good after a year and for how long they are good. ## Medications have an expiration (usually of 1 year) because by law it must have one. If you had these hydrocodone/apap pills in a dark, cool place such as a kitchen cabinet, bedroom drawer, etc. chances are still fine. Most pills are actually good for two years from the fill date as long as they are cared for properly. If you had them in the medicine chest in the bathroom, (a bad place for medication) then they may have lost some or all of their potency. When a medication like this one becomes older, it is not really dangerous to take it, rather it might have lost some of it narcotic and/or acetaminophen properties. DO NOT USE THIS RULE FOR EVERY MEDICATION ESPECIALLY FOR ...

I am a 34 year old female that has osteoporosis / bone disc degeneration disease, also hereditary problems. I am in pain constantly and need to find a doctor that will help me. ## Did you find a doctor? Please let me know as I'm in a similar position. I've got 3 bulging discs, a pinched nerve and a few other things going on with my back and neck. I've tried everything from physical therapy to injections and no real relief. My doctor refused to give me any more of the pain meds he'd had me on unless I agreed to back surgery and at this time I don't want to do that and I feel he was only after insurance money. But anyway I've suffered ever since. So I thought someone out here could help me find doctor. Any info you may have would be greatly appreciated. ## Did you ...

Found this pill that says n358 on one side and 10 on the other. What is it? I don't know if it is a lortab or not. ## An oval white pill imprinted with "n | 358" on one side and "10" on the other is identified as Hydrocodone bitartrate (10 mg) + Acetaminophen (325 mg); a generic of Norco used for moderate to severe pain relief.

In Dec. 2015I got 120 Hydrocodone/10/325Acet. and 90 Tamazapam 30mg. I paid around $55. Today I only got the Hydrocodone and it was $81.00. I live in a small town and get my prescriptions filled for years at Brookshires grocery. What is happening? The clerk who has been there years didn't seem to know. I will have to ask my Dr. What a good replacement will be in over the counter meds. ## Patricia, all prescriptions are going up and so is everything else. It is a combination of things that are making the prices go up. With more people on Medicaid and receiving free prescriptions, someone has to pay for that, the cost of making the meds, the salary and insurance for the employees, pharmaceutical heads, rent, utilities, etc for the bulidings where the meds are made, etc. You might want...

Running out of the 5mg oxycodone the Dr. prescribed me 15mg every 3 hours. Now I do have 10/325mg percocet for my damaged back and the 15mg oxycodone was for my urinary tract relocation surgery which I had less than a week ago. My question is, can I take one 5mg oxycodone and one 10mg oxycodone with 325mg Tylenol to help with pain and not overdose? ## In general, that should be safe, but it depends on your overall health, other medications you may be taking, and etc. Have you contacted your doctor to ask what they feel you should do? The FDA warns that Oxycodone carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Ref: Oxycodone Information

Looking for a doctor in Delaware/PA for pain management of severe migraine headaches who will prescribe oxycodone liquid. Have been to migraine clinics all over the country and tried Fentyl patch, Botox injections, triptan medications, morphine, diladid, with no relief for chronic dibiltating migraines. ## Has your doctor done any checking to see what's causing your migraines? The reason I'm asking is because Fentanyl is the strongest opiate available, so if it didn't help, it is unlikely that Oxycodone will help, regardless of the form its in. The FDA warns that opiate medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

I had a dr who was prescribing me 150 30mg roxycodone every month. He decided the past month that he no longer is writing them and is only writing subs. I cannot find a dr who will write me my script. Can anyone suggest anyone? ## Who was the doctor ## I'm sorry about the problem that you've run into. However, you're not going find a doctor to just write you your prescription, as a matter of fact, if you're contacting doctors to ask them about prescribing such a medication, they're all going to be inclined to tell you no and not even let you get in the door, because they consider that to be drug seeking behavior. Have you tried asking that doctor to refer you to a pain management specialist? ## i know plenty of drs in nj who prescribe oxycodone and other pain meds 2 ...

I have a drug test tomorrow. I took a single dose (5mg percocet) 2 weeks ago this is the only oxycodone ive had in several months. My daily routine includes very little activity and im slightly overweight but for the first 3-4 for day after taking it i drank gallons of water, cranberry juice and coffee, and urinated several times an hour. After four days though i stopped, until yesterday when i started drinking alot of water again. I got paranoid about the inactivity and worked this morning, however I'm worried now that that may have done more harm than good because the test is tomorrow. This is going to be a very sensitive court-ordered lab test, and may even include a hair follicle, but most likely just urinalysis. Will i pass? Any advice? ## I know the standard is 2-5 days. But a...

I took 2 7.5mg hydros monday at 11pm and had a urine test wednesday morning. I drank lots of liquids the day before and 3 hrs before the test. I peed a whole lot of times. Will I pass or fail the test? I weigh 200 lbs, 5ft 10" tall. I also have taken a urine cup measure test the month before and passed it 8 hrs after taking 2 hydros. ## i also wanna add that the drug test was taken ay 1130 am wed morning. ## I really can't say how the liquids and such would affect it, because there are many variables from person to person that also play a role in the detection time. However, I can tell you that the average time that Hydrocodone is detectable for most people is approximately 6 days, after last dosing. Learn more Hydrocodone details here. When do you get the results back? ## I am ...

All the 10 mg Percocets work the same unless they are fake. U shouldn't be messing with pills if u don't know what you're talking about!! If u got an rx from a real dr then u got nothing to worry about. I've had every single 10mg there is and they all work the same so stop crying! ## Unfortunately, this is not true. According to the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, generics are allowed to differ from the name brand by as much as plus or minus 20% of the active ingredient(s). The FDA considers this to be an acceptable therapeutic window and it was put in place to help bring generics to market faster, to create competition and try to keep prices lower. They also do not have to measure against each other, only against the name brand. So, while the differences are small, which mean...
