Found this in my daughters pocket please help she is a recovering addict ## I believe that is a "roxy" or a morphine. they are both opiates. I don't mean to scare you but your daughter has no idea what she is getting herself into. I have been a H addict for 9 Years. I started by taking Vicodin and Norcross then oxycontin and then H. it's the hardest most miserable life. opiates have ruined my life multiple times. I've been arrested 24 times because of my addiction. do not wait u talk to your daughter and take extreme measures and do anything and everything to keep her from using opiates. I'll pray for u good luck ## @Rhonda, In response to the pill's identification, a round white tablet marked with "30" on one side and an "M" in a box on the o...

I have leg and back pain were I can't even walk or even lay down which hydrocodone is best for me!? ## Dear Barbara, the only difference is the amount of Tylenol in them. The 325 have less Tylenol than the 750. Some Drs. Will give the 325 b cause 2 much Tylenol can cause liver problems. p.s. Tylenol is same name 4 acetaminophen. ## Hello, Barbara! How are you? Actually, you have no choice but to go with the one that contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen, because the others are no longer available, they were all removed from the market as of the 1st of the year. 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? ## Were they taken of...

My mother-in-law didn't tell her dr that she was on Suboxone and was given Targin (which is oxycodone 5mg + naloxone 2.5mg hydrochloride). She is on 2mgs of Suboxone. Will she get sick or withdrawal? Or will it actually help with pain relief? ## Wow! No, she needs to inform her doctor, as soon as possible, that could result in a possibly dangerous overdose, since the Buprenorphine in Suboxone and the Oxycodone in Targin are both opiate narcotics, plus they both contain Naloxone, so she is also doubling up on that. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and my cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. As to the withdrawal, that is doubtful, since the Suboxone will just prevent the Oxycodone in the Targin...

Yesterday, I went to my regular pharmacy, a rite aid to get my oxycodone script filled, I got pills that don't do anything. I have been taking oxycodone or Oxycontin for many years, I have never gotten pills that do nothing. The pharmacy said there was nothing wrong with them. Because they are type 2 meds, don't think they could do anything anyway. I am so frustrated, My back is killing me. Sam ## Hello, Sam! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you are experiencing. Under the Hax-Waxman Act of 1984, generics are allowed to differ from the name brands by as much as plus or minus 20%, but they don't have to measure against each other, only the name brand, so it is conceivable that new one you've received is not as potent as the prior one you were taking. The ...

it's some kind of sinus pill but i don't know which one ## Peach/orange oblong pill with the numbers 44-502 printed on it. My Doctor, Emily Snyder out of U.A.B. gave this to me, but I don't want to take it unless I know what is for. ## ahat is is used for? ## This medication is usually available at Rite Aid, although independent distributors may also provide it. It is listed as containing 325mgs of Acetaminophen, and 5mgs of Phenylephrine, it is used to treat respiratory issues, such as colds. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, and nervousness. Given that it is available over the counter, it is best not to take it without your doctor's approval. Are either of you on any other medications?

This pill is a pink tablet with "12" on one side & "np" on the other side - Is this a Percocet 10 mg? ## This tablet is manufactured by Zydus Pharmaceuticals, and they list it as containing 10mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation, which is a generic for Roxicodone. Percocet contains Oxycodone with Acetaminophen, so they are not the same. 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. Is this the medication that you were prescribed?

771 ## My husband has been taking Hydrocodone 5-500 for 10 days. It is not helping his back pain. Can he safely stop this narcotic after 10 days with out withdrawal symptoms, and can he start taking extra strength Tylenol right away? ## A round white tablet with the 771 marking is distributed by Paddock Laboratories, and they list it as containing 325mgs of Acetaminophen, which is a generic, or store brand of Tylenol. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach irritation. Sandra, the Tylenol will not be as potent as the Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen. Has he consulted his doctor? He might need a higher dosage, or to try a different medication. While causing some similar side effects, the FDA also warns that this medication carries th...

My wife found a partially dissolved (cannot read anything on itl) pill in the bottom of our washing machine. It is the same shape as a hydrocodone although he does take acne medicine that is called bactrim. which is a much larger pill but it could have just dissolved alot in the washer. the shape is similar. I dont honestly think my son uses drugs but I wanted to be safe ## Without any identifying markings, the only way to be sure would be to have it checked by a lab, which can be rather expensive. However, most Bactrim tablets, and its generics, are shaped the same way, so it is most likely that he had a Bactrim tablet in his pocket, intending to take it, but forgot and it ended up in the washer. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, ...

What are the distinguishing characteristics between authentic and counterfeit oxycodone? And why might I receive the same medication from different manufacturers? Depicted below is the medication in question. Can anyone confirm if this is a genuine Oxycodone HCl 30mg tablet? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Appearance: Round white tablet imprinted with the numbers "114" sitting above a score line on side and blank on the other. Thank you for your time and assistance. ## Whatever generic your pharmacy carries may change, at any given time, due to whatever manufacturer was offering the cheapest price, when they needed to restock their supply. This is how they try to keep prices down for people that don't have prescription coverage. The tablet with the 114 marking ...

what doest it look like ## There is no 1.5mg Morphine available as a prescription tablet, or capsule. Did you possibly mean 15mgs? What are the markings on the ones in question? That would enable me to research more information for you. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

i'm on ocycontin 60mg 4xs daily my break through pain med is either hydrocodone 10-650 or oxycodone w acetaminophen 5-325 which is more effective for pain relief i have to chose one ## At that narcotic dosage, 10mgs of Hydrocodone, versus 5mgs of Oxycodone, they are roughly equivalent. The only way to see which one may be more effective for you is to actually try one of them and see how it works. The Hydrocodone option does have more Acetaminophen in it. so you may also want to base your decision on how concerned you are about that, since it can cause some stomach problems. They both have the same side effect profile, since they are both narcotics, and this may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and stomach irritation. Are there any other comments or questions? ## my doctor swit...

Im 31yrs old now and I been taking oxycodone 10/325 for 17 yts after injuring my L5-S1 and both legs in an auto accident. It generally takes roughly 15-20 mins to work and I'm finding that I'm having to "DOUBLE UP" and am considering asking to increase my dosage at my doc visit next week. Are there any suggestions out there? Thanks so much. ## Yes, these combination tablets are regular release ones, so they will usually take 15 to 20 minutes to start working, because your stomach has to start digesting them, before the medication can enter your blood stream to have its intended effect. You may want to ask your doctor about OxyIR, it's a 5mg immediate release Oxycodone capsule. It could help you get better control of your pain, because usually one of them is taken for...

THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS MY SPINAL STENOSIS & HERNIATED DISCS &DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE IS VALIUM+DILAUDID 4-8MG. OR ROXICET 30MG OR ROXICODONE ## Hello, Unfortunately, no one can really know ahead of time what a doctor is or is not willing to prescribe, as that is based on the doctor's discretion and not just on someone else's previous appointment (especially since many doctor's are now worried about losing their licensing for prescribing too many narcotics). Some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for any 'specific medication' when you see a new doctor. Just make sure to transfer or take a copy of all your medical records with you. Then, the best approach in my opinion, is to discuss up front and honestly what has or hasn't worked for yo...

Can diclofenac 3%, menthol 2% and ketamine 6% in a pump spray help with shoulder pain from a torn tendon? ## It can be used to help with such an issue, but the only way to know if it will help you is by trying it. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin irritation, burning, redness, and flaking. Have you tried using it, yet? ## Yes, ketamine is substance that helps with pain in a big way.

I tested positive for hydrocodone and do not take it. Will prednisone or flexeril cause false readings for hydrocodone? It was a swab test. ## I'm prescribed Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Flexaril, Lorazepam, from my doctor. When the doctor did a U.A., it showed that I was Positive for Hydrocodone. How could I get a positive on my U.A., if I've never taken it? I'm very concerned as I have not ever taken Hydrocodone. ## I was a patient at a pain clinic for two years. I was given 75 MG Fentanyl and oxycodone for breakthrough. Periodically took a hydrocodone which worked on sinus headache. I was finally told to stop taking it and I did. My UA still showed hydrocodone 6 weeks later despite I had not taken any. I was dismissed.I knew I was being watched with this. I need to know why this...

WHITE AND ORANGE FRONT ETHEX BACK 041 ## the capsule form doesnt help with my pain as well as the tablets. can you explain why ## Interesting, they should work the same ## Yes, Ethex does list this capsule as containing 5mgs of Oxycodone. This is a narcotic opiate that is used to treat severe pain. The FDA warns that is carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Mike what are the makings on the tablet in question? There can be differences from one generic to the other, but they should not be significant. Has anyone else had such an experience?

My blood pressure is 190/100 and I forgot to take my metoprolol this morning. I took it after checking my blood pressure along with my baby aspirin. I have pain meds (hydrocodone 5/325) - Is it safe to take the pain meds? It's been about 30/45 minutes since I took blood pressure meds. ## In general, it should be, unless your doctor or pharmacist has told you not to do so. Overall, however, being in pain can cause further elevations of your blood pressure, so they usually want you to take your pain med. But your doctor is the authority on that. The FDA warns that Hydrocodone carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. As to the Metoprolol...
