Can anyone please answer, I'm prescribed 4 percocet 10 /325 a day as needed for pain. I have an appointment in 2 weeks. I have 2 pills left. My question is if I take one the night before and one 3 hours before the test, will my levels fall within the correct range. 64 years old, 110 lbs, 5'1" normal daily activities, cleaning house and such. I'd really appreciate any information you can provide. ## Probably not, the level testing usually lets them know how much you have been taking and for how long. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, and constipation. How did you run out so early? ## I take percocet 325-10 4 times a day I need to have 300 mano grams in me s...

which is more potent hydrocodone-acetaminophen (5-325) or Acetaminophen/cod 3 (300/30mg)? ## Milligram for milligram, hydrocodone is reported to be significantly more potent than codeine. So even with the difference in milligrams I'm going to have to assume that the generic norco you have may be more potent from what I've read online. While everyone's experience may be different, I have also seen comments from patients who've tried both and feel that "10mgs" of hydrocodone far exceeds the potency of "60mgs" of codeine. Though that may not be as accurate for someone else with a different tolerance, it does go to show that hydrocodone is superior and probably shouldn't ever be substituted for codeine in that sense. Is your doctor recommending that you t...

That's not true I've gotten several shots into my ivy of diallaudid at the hospital late Sunday night and went to my pain doctor and notified them first thing Wednesday morning had a urine test and they could detect no hydromorphone in my system and this has happened more than once ## What other options besides consuming large amounts of water can be taken to speed up the process of cleansing your urine for dilaudid showing up in a UA

ok so i took a dilaudid friday night, today is tuesday and i got to take an urine tests for my suboxone dr. does anyone know if ill be clean enough to pass it? ## Why dont you go gt your kicks out on route 66! How old are U? grow the F up. There are us people out here that suffer with spinal injurys and you like playing weekend junkie. You make medication bad for the rest of us...thanks ...fool! ## Dilaudid contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, which is a narcotic and most narcotics are detectable in your urine for up to 4 to 5 days, though this can vary depending on how much you have used, how often, your metabolism and overall health. Did you pass? It is very dangerous to inject pills that are not intended to be used that way. Most tablets contain fillers and, since they are n...

long oval, blue, numbers 44-473 on them, it says it has 325 mg of acetaminophen in them.2 pills per dose ## found celophane wrapper with pills inside..want to identify ## Tylenol cold multi symptom night time. ## In the interest of adding specifics, this is a generic for the Tylenol product that Terri mentioned. Along with the 325mgs of Acetaminophen already mentioned, it also contains 2mgs of Chlorpheniramine, 10mgs of Dextromethorphan and 5mgs of Phenylephrine, per tablet. As the nighttime formulation, that means there is a very high probability of this causing drowsiness as a side effect. Are there any other questions or comments? There are more Acetaminophen details available here, more Chlorpheniramine details available here, more Dextromethorphan details available here and ther...

I just got a new script for 5mg of Oxycodone. The first time I took one it just didn't feel right. I felt a little jittery, usually I feel mellow. The manufacturer is KVK-Tech and the pill code is K 18. I have had these before and they were fine. Is it possible that I got a bad batch? Should I bring it up to my pharmacist? Thank you. ## Hello, Suzanne! How are you? Have things gotten any better? Was there anything else that may have influenced you and made you feel that way, such as more sugar or coffee that day? They should be the same, but if the issue kept occurring, you may want to look into it. ## I just received the same for a prescription; they did nothing at all and did not relieve pain. I called the pharmacist. They could do nothing. I actually took a drug panel and it came...

In 2006 I had surgery for a pinched nerve in the L5-S1 area which was a success. About 2 years ago the symptoms I had when I had the surgery slowy started to come back over time. Earlier this year I had an MRI and went to see an Orthopedic Surgeon (same one that did the original surgery). He said that there are 2 meds for me to try, Diclofenac-Misoprostol & Lyrica. First stated with 50mg of Diclofenac twice daily for a few months, it helped somewhat so after seeing my GP it upped it to 75mg twice daily, not a big difference from the 50mg. The next step for me to take is Lyrica, after seeing the adverse effects on a local TV commerical I am wary of switching to this. Working up high on ladders is part of my job so getting dizzy and not being able to focus is not a good thinkg to have...

I have tried every where to find out how many milligrams are released and how often in a controlled release 60 mg MS Contin pill... If I take a 60 mg controlled release MS Contin, is 5mg released every hour or is 15mg released every 2 hours? That was just an example so I am understood. Thank you. ## Are you taking the name brand, or a generic? The answer can vary depending on who has manufactured the tablets in question. 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. Generally, there is a steady release rate, but it can also depend on how much fluids you are taking in, your stomach acid, and etc.

I have stomach blockage (indigestion) & cancer. Tylenol 3 & 4's aren't working and I need to find an alternative to Tylenol of any kind... Help. ## There are many other stronger medications available to treat pain, such as Percocet (and it's generics), as well as Norco (and it's generics.) The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. However, none of these will treat indigestion. What other medications have you tried? Do you have a blockage, or indigestion? They are not the same.

I recently was switched from Lortab to Nucynta 75 for migraines to trial it out. I took a Nucynta at 9am and am wondering if I can take Lortab 10mg at 5pm? ## Did your doctor tell you take it, as well? If not, and you were actually switched, you should not do so. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

I was dispensed my Oxycodone refill and I'm wondering why it is different. Now it's a small round white pill with a weird shaped M, a scored line, and a 3 on it. Who makes this? ## My mom has a small white round pill. It has a "M" inside of a box and the other side has a score with a number. But it got wet and all I can see is the number 3. What is this med? I believe it to be Oxycodone, but can anyone confirm? ## I cannot find any records of an Oxycodone tablet with this marking. The only one I can find is listed as being manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, and they list it as containing 30mgs of Codeine, and 300mgs of Acetaminophen. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness...

I have been on perocet 10/325 for many yrs, and now my Dr. Switched me to oxycodone HCl 20mg tablets.my question is, how do I know if it is a extended release or an instant release, as my script says neither on it ? I will be able to fill script in a couple days, and would just like to know, as I heard extended release doesn't work as well.....thank you... ## At this time, there is no generic extended release, that would have to be written under the name Oxycontin. If it is written as Oxycodone, it is most likely the regular release formulation. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Green oval caplet ## Hi, I use to buy this at Wal-Mart for 88 cents and now I can't find them. Does anyone know where I can find them please? They are the only thing that helps with my sinus headache. ## The manufacturer, Major Pharmaceuticals, lists this tablet as containing 325mgs of Acetaminophen, and 5mgs of Phenylephrine, it is most commonly used to treat sinus issues and colds. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, and dry mouth. Virginia, have you tried looking for something that contains the same active ingredients?

I was on oxycodone for 5 yrs, Doctor decides his practice doesn't want to go the oxy 30 route anymore... Gives me 50mcg fentanyl patch 1 every 72 hrs. To be honest I didn't feel anything really, but I didn't feel sick or like s***.. Go to next appointment, and told him the same, didn't feel anything and my chronic back and neck pain is off the charts. He upped the patch to 75mcg.. still don't really feel anything except my pain problems.. tried cutting the 1st 75mcg patch and chewing a small size piece after wearing 1st patch for only 48hrs hoping it would help my pain problems along with a new 75mcg patch!!! Still the same, hurting but not feeling like crap at least... I've been reading on here about breakthrough pain help????? Any ideas?? Thanks ## My opinion N...

Looks almost exactly like roxicodone 30mg but is slightly bigger in size. Was supposed to be clonazepam. ## You're saying that the M is over 30 on one side, separated by a score line and it's blank on the other? If so, then the tablet contains 3.75mgs of Clorazepate, it is a Benzodiazepine derivative, so while it's not exactly the same as the Clonazepam, it is very similar and is used to treat similar conditions. Learn more Clorazepate details here. ## Thanks, the bottle said cloarazepate, couldn't read the description as I've had so long The label was worn, but looked so much like oxicodone which I am also prescribed that I was worried somehow it was in wrong bottle.

Need to find doctor in the Charlotte area willing to prescribe painkillers for chronic neck leg and back pain and torn rotator cup and peraneal nerve injury ## Hello, Pete! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. If you require controlled substances for the long-term ongoing treatment of pain, you'll need to see a pain management specialist. Due to the new regulations that were put in place, a general practice physician won't be able to prescribe them for you. There is also no listing of doctors according to what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. Do you currently have a PCP that you see regular that might be able to refer you to someone? If so, that might be the quickest and easiest way to find the help you need. Can anyone recommend a...

G3722 blank on the back ## This isn't a Tylenol 3 tablet. The rectangular shaped tablet with the G 3722 marking, all separated by score lines contains 2mgs of Alprazolam, the active ingredient in Xanax. It is a Benzodiazepine and you can read more Alprazolam details here, if you aren't familiar with it. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, dizziness and irritability. What led you to believe it was Tylenol 3? ## It's xanax made by greenstone pharmaceuticals. They are owned by Pfizer who owns the name brand xanax. They are very good generics because they put in 100% of the active drug or very close, maybe 95 to 98%, but well worth it, yet hard to find.

I have not taken heroin in a year and a half but had a hair follicle test and it came back positive. I swear on my brother's grave I have not had any since then. Also I do mouth swabs now for my drug test and it came back positive for morphine. I am highly allergic to morphine and will go into anaphylactic shock. I am on oxycodone HCl. Would this have come back positive for the morphine or for the heroin? ## Wow, I was reading & I'm in lots of pain so I came across your topic & thought it was good to see someone asking a very important question. I have worked for very large labs & a company outta California that specifically make all the current drug test, rather urine, blood, to hair, it's just not a boundary. You see Oxycodone is made Synthetically by evil men,...
