I was prescribed oxycodone 15 mg from my doctor & when I picked them up from the pharmacy & they have the curved E 7 imprint from Epic pharma mfg, but there is no description on the label which I thought was required by law & they don't seem to be working to alleviate my pain like other manufacturers that I have received previously so I was wanting to know if these could be a placebo......do you know if Epic Pharma llc makes placebo oxycodones?? ## Also, do you know if the pharmacy is required by law to list the description & imprint of the pill on the bottle label? ## No, it is not a legal requirement, though many pharmacies do it as a courtesy to try to help avoiding customer confusion, if they are receiving medication from a different manufacturer than usual.

Does Tylenol 3 show up as an opiate in a urine drug test? ## It is a opiate so yes it will show positive for an opiate. ## Will Tylenol 3 show up as morphine in a drug test? My drug test showed positive for morphine but I haven't taken anything but Tylenol 3 with codeine. ## I'm on Tylenol 3 and take random drug tests, and recently tested positive for opiates. Was it the codeine in Tylenol 3? ## I had 2 teeth pulled plus a root from a wisdom tooth. I took two Tylenol #3 with codeine today which is Tuesday and next Tuesday I get a drug test by swab. Will it show up?

Could someone please send an image or describe a morphine tablet of 30 mg. I found a small, purplish colored tablet with a M surrounded by a square and 30 on the other side. ## Can you get a hold of an actual copy of The Physician's Desk reference? (PDR) It has an entire section of color photos with most meds pictured... Check your local library... ## it is a morphine 30 mg ## Dude yourself a 30 mg Immediate release Oxycodone....It's a generic brand for Roxicodone. ## WRONG! The 30mgs Oxy with the M in a square is a light green color, not purple. It is manufactured by Mallinckrodt pharmaceuticals. Here's an image of that one: ## The correct ID of this pill, is as the other posters said, Morphine 30mgs, it is also made by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. This is a generic for MS...

I need to fill a script for oxycodone before I go in for a visit and don't want them to know. I was on weekly visits recently and they accidentally gave me a duplicate script. Someone has stolen my meds. I just got off probation so telling them that and showing up without a pill count doesn't sound like a real option. So I want to fill this week's prescription and use a few toward my pill count. I don't care if they know I filled it later. I will tell them. But my question is (I go in the morning), when will it show up on my report they print off showing the meds I filled?

Does Lortab make a 10/325? My Doc changed my lortab 10/500 to norco10/325. Norco is a different medicine, making me really tired. everyone keeps saying its the same as Lortab. I STRONGLY disagree. help ## Hi, I'm on pain management & have taken Lortab then Norco for years. Norco is the same as Lortab with 325 mg of acetaminophen instead of 500 mg. My doctor changed mine as well due to the affects on the liver. I understand the hesitation. When he changed mine I wasn't thrilled either, but I'm a creature of habit & dislike change in routines. I'm uncomfortable when my generics are from another company & look different than I normally take. I promise, it's the same 10 mg of hydrocodone. Both Lortab & Norco contain the same active ingredients: acetaminop...

i take norco 10/325 and wonder is there a stronger hydrocodone pill such as 15/325 ## No, the maximum amount currently available on the market is 10mgs of Hydrocodone. The only way to get a higher dosage than that is if your doctor specially orders it and it is put together for you by a compounding pharmacy. Hydrocodone is a potent narcotic and is rarely given in higher doses. Usually, when someone isn't getting the pain relief they need from it, they move on to something else, such as Percocet, which contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone. It is still a narcotic and can cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Learn more: Are there any other questions or comments? ## Try not to go up to percet. I went to percet 10/325 from norco 10/325. They take over...

my husband was givin reprexain 10-200 mg one every 6 hours but he is still hurting bad can he take 2 at a time ## Has he consulted his doctor about it? This contains Hydrocodone and Ibuprofen and the maximum dose of Hydrocodone that's usually given at oce is just the 10mgs, it is very potent narcotic, so I wouldn't suggest increasing the dosage, without a doctor's approval. ## Your husband can absolutely take 2 at a time I don't know why people are saying not to. I am 215lbs and I sometimes take 3 at once when I'm in a lot of pain. What you need to be most mindful of is how much acetiminphen he is taking per day. Keep that under 2500mg and he will be fine and feeling great!

My husband has a cyst the size of a goose egg in the middle of his brain. Due to its location and the risks stated by his neurosurgeon we feel surgery is too risky. His current pain management doctor refuses to increase his meds because she is afraid of the DES and says she is "comfortable" with where he is at. He is not "comfortable" but truly miserable. Please help if you know of a good, compassionate doctor. This cyst is not "made up" as you can clearly see it on all his M.R.I. ## Hello, Meg! How are you and your husband? I am so very sorry about his condition. However, all doctors have to be cautious of the DEA, they are severely restricted in how much they can prescribe, except in cases where someone has a potentially fatal condition, such as stage 4 cancer....

Does oxycodone 20 mg, morphine 30 mg and hydromorphone all show up as opiates or does each one show up as their own said medicine? I take the oxycodone 20 mg for hip pain, waiting for surgery. I ran out a couple days early and took 30 mg morphine and hydromorphone. I was called for a job I really want and know I will be asked to take a drug test. I am worried as it means I will have a 20 minute commute rather than a 2 1/2 hour each way. ## What I meant was does each drug show separately? And current commute is 2 1/2 hours to work and the same home again. The job I would really want is 20 minutes each way. So do I stall the drug test if I get a job offer? Or am I safe and these drugs just show as opiates in my system for which I have a prescription for the 20 mg oxycodone. Just wanted to...

I have taken up to 15 mg of oxycodone a night just to take the edge off. I want to be off them completely. I have went 5 days with 15 mg before and withdrawals werent that bad. I have taken one quarter of a methdaone wafer for the last 2 days. I know it takes 3-7 days to withdrawal. does this mean I am almost clean? ## Hi Samantha, From my perspective it sounds like your strong intention to be off oxycodone will help make it an easier mental transition towards going with out them... but not having gone through this myself, I wouldn't know what amount of possible physical withdrawal symptoms to anticipate. Based on your description they theoretically shouldn't be any worse or drawn out than what you said you had experienced before. However I do think it would be wise to speak wit...

How many ir 15 would I have to take to equal 4 oxycodone-APAP pills? ## Hello, KayDawn! How are you? I can't give you a definitive answer, since you didn't not provide the dosage of the Oxy/Apap tablets, but the dosage would be equivalent, since they both are Oxycodone regular release. However, you should not take more than your doctor has prescribed. The FDA classifies this medication as 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? ## Sorry. The dosage is 4 oxycodone APAP 10/325 mg. I have recently been switched to I.r. 15mg. How many of the I.r. 15mg pills would equal 4 10mg oxycodone apap pills? ## One 15 is equal to 1 ...

Hello, My name is mark. my doctor said that the new drug laws only allow for 200 mg of a opioid daily. I currently am on 4-30mg oxycodone and 2- 30mg 30mg morphine sulphate. He say's that he is going to have to remove 1 30mg of the morphine because it add's up to 220 mg daily.This makes no since to me because I take 1 long term in the morning and before bed I take the second, Is my doctor correct,becouse that means I will have nothing in the morning which will increase my pain level thru out the day? ## Hello, Mike/Mark! How are you? The new directives from the DEA are supposed to be the equivalent of no more than 120mgs of Morphine a day, though some states have lowered that further to no more than the equivalent of 100mgs, thus your doctor really has no choice, sadly enough.

I'm 190 lbs., physically active, adult male. Will 7.5 mg hydrocodone show up on my urine screening after 4 days? ## I took two 5 milligram tabs of hydrocodone within 10 hrs. Will it show up on a urine test the same morning? ## Most likely. Hydrocodone gets out of the system pretty fast, but 4 days is on that line of most likely showing. I've heard of people passing though at that short amount of time. It also depends on the type of test. If it goes to a lab, then no. If it is a dip test, then most likely yes still but possibly no.

I have a tiny round dark peach pill with P on one side and 2 on the other side. I want to know what it is? ## @brite eyes, A small round peach pill with P on one side and 2 on the other is reportedly identified as Dilaudid (2mg), used in the treatment of chronic pain. For verification, the size of this pill is approx. 5.00 mm and the manufacturer is Purdue Pharma. Additionally, the pill itself carries a National Drug Code of 59011-452. I hope this helps!

I have a drug test tomorrow for a new job and I took 15 mg of Percocet today. Will it show up in the urine test tomorrow? ## Hi Tiffany, I realize you posted this on the 18th, but for future reference, Percocet generally takes 3-4 days to clear out of your system for a urine test. Blood test: 24 hours Saliva test: 1-4 days Hair test: up to 90 days Just out of curiosity, did the test come up positive (being that you only took 1 pill and aren't a chronic user)? More information about Percocet can be viewed in the link below: I hope this helps! ## I take hydrocodone 10 mg, 6 per day as prescribed.

I want to know if I can take Ibuprofen 600 mg, Hydrocodone, Flexeril 10 mg and Baclofen 10 mg tabs together for sciatic nerve pain? ## I really want to know can these pills be taken together? ## Hi Eva, Based on my research, there aren't any problems taking ibuprofen alongside hydrocodone. In fact, they already manufacture a tablet with that combination for pain management purposes. However, using flexeril and baclofen together with each other AND/OR with hydrocodone may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people might also experience various degrees of impaired thinking and judgment as a result of using these medications together. So driving or operating any heavy machinery is generally not recommended either. I hope this info hel...

My pain specialist switched me from 100mcg of fentanyl to 40mg 2 times a day of opana ER. Was this the right conversion? I went through withdrawal for 3 weeks and I'm still in a lot of pain. ## Fentanyl is currently the stronger opiate available, so no, it is not equivalent and it is normal to experience withdrawals and rebound pain for awhile, according to FDA reports. Has there been any change, yet? You might need a dosage adjustment. 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 just switched over from opana 40 mg twice a day to a 50 mcg fentanyl patch. Can you still get withdrawals from the opana?
