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... Do you have a smartphone? If so, there are many free a...

what does TEV mean after TAB on medicine lable ## What does MGTEV stand for on darocet 100-650?The lable reads as Propoxyphen- APAP 100-650 MGTEV. Thanks! ## The first initials stand for the manufacturer, for example Teva Pharmaceuticals in the original post, and the TAB specifies that it is a tablet, according to FDA prescribing instructions. Regarding Valerie's post, Propoxyphene, in any form or combination, has been removed from the market, since it was found to cause a high risk of cardiac issues, and many overdose deaths. It was originally available under the name brand Darvocet. It was a very mild narcotic analgesic, the FDA warns that it carried the risk of being habit forming, and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Need a good dr in the medford grants pass oregon area. ## Hi Gia, In regards to finding a pain doctor, I have listed below a couple websites specific to locating pain management doctors in a given area. All you have to do is input your city or zip code for narrowed results: {link removed because site no longer exists} You can give this other page a try too if you come up with different results for some reason or another: wellness.com/find/pain%20management%20specialist Many of the results you find (in one or both of the links above) also list a phone number for that specific doctor; I'd suggest calling up a number of them to see if they prescribe the type of medication you are seeking to manage your pain. You may also have to ask if they are accepting new patients, as some aren'...

I think it is a muscle relaxant or pain medication ## r u sure u don,t mean tramadol?If so it is for pain, ## I have to agree with Asunta, that is the closest I've been able to find, too. Tramadol is opioid that is used to treat pain. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, and constipation. Can you double check the name of the med and post back? There is another opiate option that could be somewhat close to this name, that would Tapentadol. Does anyone else have any ideas?

I am a 32 yr old woman on 65mls of methadone. I have been on it for the past 10 yrs. I get dosed the pink liquid sometimes and sometimes the yellow syrup. Is there any chance morphine will show up in Victoria's DHHS's supervised urine drug screens? I'm also taking Xanax and a antidepressent called Lovan. It's basically a cheaper brand for prosac or from the same family, but that's all I take. The problem is i have had morphine show up in not all but many times in my drug urine tests. Can anyone please help me out as im in family court and do not take morphine and it's showing up. Is this possible or any other reason why morphine would be showing up as i do not take morphine or heroin? ## I'm wondering too. I am clean and on methadone also. Recently my test ca...

I Was Prescribed Oxycodone 10mg no tylenol in this pill what does it look like and what if any does the generic look like? ## Hello, Debra! How are you? Actually, since there are generics available, there are quite a few different pills, so I couldn't possibly list the descriptions and markings on all of them. What are the markings on the tablet you received from your pharmacy? That is what would enable me to check for you to see what they contain. Can you please post back with this information? Thanks! 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. ## Oxycodone very small pink pill with a #12 can't make out what's on the other side ## Is there a 10mg oxy...

i want to see a picture of a roxy pill ## I am afraid that I don't have any pictures to post for you, due to copyright reasons.

Here are the descriptions and markings of the name brand tablets: 5mg is white, round and has 54 over 582 on one side of the tablet. 15mg is green, round and has 54 over 710 on one side of the tablet. 30mg is blue, round and has 54 over 199 on one side of the tablet.
