I WAS PRESCRIBED THE 50 MCG/HR FENTANYL PATCH FOR CHRONIC BACK PAIN & DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE. I WAS GIVEN THE PRESCRIPTION SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. I JUST GOT IT FILLED 2 DAYS AGO BECAUSE I'M AFRIAD TO USE IT. I HAVE READ ALL THE PATIENT INFO, RESEARCHED IT ON THE NET & TALKED TO SEVERAL PHARMACISTS AS WELL AS MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN. ALL OF THE PHYSICIANS & PHARMACISTS TELL ME THAT THE PATCH WILL HELP ME WITH THE DAILY PAIN. THEY SAY THAT THE PATCH SHOULD NOT CAUSE ME ANY HARM BUT THE ONE TING THAT'S STOPPING ME FROM USING IT IS THE RESPIRATORY SIDE EFFECTS & POSSIBLE OVERDOSE. I'M SEEKING SOME ADVISE FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE USED THIS DRUG BEFORE WHETHER IT WAS A GOOD OR BAD OUTCOME. I AM OPOID TOLERANT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PAIN FOR THE LAST ...

This tablet contain 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, so yes, it's a generic for Lortab, Vicodin or Norco.

my primary moved to the west coast of florida and my pharmacy will not fill it because he is in another county. they say it is up to the pharmacist wheter they will fill it or not! i have been a customer of theirs for over 4 years and this is how i am treated. they will his other scripts but not these unless they are from indian river county. if anyone knows of a doctor who accepts medi pass and will write this script please let me know!!! ## so what happened to the advertisments of the pharmacies that say, we will fill your rx no matter where you are. my parents used to be snow birds, in a better economy, and they had wallgreen's that filled my mothers multiple rx's from pa in fl. so not filling your rx because the dr is in a different county I find discriminating. where I live...

Hi. I have a script for #60 pills and am directed to take 1 every 8 hours. How many days is that for? ## What medication is it? Additionally, do the instructions say to take as needed, or to take exactly every 8 hours? The answer will depend on this additional information. The FDA prescribing instructions may vary according. ## It just says take one every eight hours for severe pain ## I got 20 Percocet tablets and I'm suppose to take 1 every 6 hours. How many days supply is that? I got it for a toothache. ## I filled my prescription for 20 percocets on the 19th of this month. How long is it supposed to last if I take two every 4-6 hours? ## How many day's supply of Percocet will I have taking two 5/325 tabs every 4 hours, if they gave me 50 tablets? ## Hello, my name is Sandy a...

I have a white oblong pill with 4434 on it. Can u tell me what it is? I'm very curious as to what this pill is. ## Hi Bj, I located a white oblong pill with 44 334 on one side and blank on the other, that is reportedly identified as an over-the-counter Extra Strength Headache Relief tablet, containing: acetaminophen (250mg) + aspirin (250mg) + caffeine (65mg). For verification, the manufacturer is listed as LNK International. Is there any chance that there's an additional "3" on the imprint of your pill?

I have some blue pills with 8001 or 1008 written on them. they are scored. I was told they are Percocet 5/325. Does anyone know? ## No. Percocet 5/325 tabs name brand are round blue, scored on one side and imbossed with percocet 5 on the other ## I think the blue scored tablet with 1008 (8001 inverted) on the lower edge is an over the counter sleep aid. I have a couple, but usually buy another brand ## is v 4211 percocet???? ## NO! This is not Percocet, nor any type of narcotic. V4211 contains 500mgs of Methocarbamol, a generic for Robaxin, this is a muscle relaxant. Some of the most common side effects include: drowsiness, nausea, dry mouth and dizziness. ## has anyone heard of a percocet 15mg? It's football shaped like a xanax, and light blue in color. It is not a xanax, and frien...

Can you take Morphine Sulfate ER 15mg with Adderall? I'm scared as hell!... My Dr. pushed the Morphine on me over taking just Hydrocodone 10/325... & this concerns me :/ ## My doc insisted on switching me from 5-325 Norco to Morphine Sulfate as well, and it was the WORST thing that's happened to me, EVER. He felt that it was best to switch to the supposedly long-acting Morphine rather than increase my dose of Norco (I had been on the lowest possible dose of Norco--5-325--for about EIGHT years, so this would have been the very first dosage increase in all those years. It's certainly not like I had kept asking for more pills or bigger doses or anything but none the less, he felt it was better to switch to Morphine instead of slightly increasing the Norco.) Morphine is SUBS...

I have a round pink pill which is scored on one side and on the other I can't figure out what it is. It looks like a beaker in a U or a cup, almost like a horseshoe. I think it may be Dilaudid but I have no idea. I am in Ontario. This is driving me crazy!

Why am I not getting the relief for my cronic back pain with the white hydrocodone as I was with the yellow? ## Hello, Faye! How are you? Can you please double check the marking? The one with this marking on it is no longer being manufactured, due to the amount of Acetaminophen it contained, which was 500mgs with 10mgs of Hydrocodone. Thus, can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! 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. ## I get a script monthly filled at my local Walmart for 10/325 Hydrocodone acetaminophen. It's always been an oval yellow pill. However this month (Aug 2016) they filled it with a white oval pill V on ...

ive bee taking 15 mg of oxycodone every 4hrs for chronic pain do to a brain injury that occured about 4 months ago. ive never had ANY cetimeiphen in it ever. please explain why some people do have this and some don't. thanks. p.s oxycodone is definatley stronger than hydrocone. i am about to go to to 15mg of the hydrocodone it works better for me. definitly and last longer. why? ## Hello, Travis! How are you? Some of them contain Acetaminophen, because it augments the narcotic opiate and helps it work better, so it has a stronger effect and works better to relieve pain. However, the narcotic is still effective without it and it isn't necessary to prescribe one that contains Acetaminophen for everyone. It can be very rough on the liver, especially if someone is taking high amount...

how long after injecting a 8mg pill of dilaudid will it show up in a urine drug screen ## Dilaudid contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, which is a narcotic and like most other narcotic opiates, it is detectable on standard urine screens for approximately 4 days, after use. The time frame however, is not exact, because it will vary depending on your individual metabolism, how often you've taken it, your fluid intake, activity levels, overall health and many other factors.

My girlfriend took it for a pain killer, as she had surgery on the right shoulder and right knee. Now she has a very bad headache. ## The APAP is just medical speak for Acetaminophen and Oxycodone is a narcotic pain reliever. Yes, a headache can be a side effect of the medication, along with: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Read more here: Do you have any other questions? ## I am a 31yo female and I've been taking Percocet 5/325 for about a week now.

is the yellow pill watson 853 as strong as the blue watson 540 ## The tablet with the WATSON 853 marking contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen and 10mgs of Hydrocodone. The tablet with the WATSON 540 contains 500mgs of Acetaminophen and 10mgs of Hydrocodone. So, they both contain the same amount of the active narcotic, Hydrocodone, but they do not contain the same amount of Acetaminophen, which improves the effect of the narcotic. Is there anything else I can help with? ## does 7.5 hydrocodone come in yellow I find the yellow hydro far superior to the white pill

If I was able to stop taking Percocet, can I take again without having to go through withdrawals again? I don't want to go through that again, but if I don't abuse will it start all over again? ## Just following; sorry I can't help you. ## No, if you take it for a long period of time again, even if you don't abuse it, your body will, once again, become dependent on it and a sudden cessation will result in some withdrawal effects. This is completely and the only way to try to avoid such would be by doing a slow taper off of a medication, rather than suddenly stopping it. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Okay, so say I stay clean for a month, if I take a couple perk 10's just one night maybe once a month or twice a month will I have withdrawl symptoms like I ...

The pill is round, biconvex, cream colored, with C 75 on one side, no score line. Found it in a medication bottle, among the Advil pills. ## There is a tablet that matches this description that is manufactured by Daiichi Sankyo Inc, which they list as containing 5mgs of Amlodipine, and 40mgs of Olmesartan, it is available under the trade name Azor. It is most commonly used to high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Was it a prescription strength of Advil, or an over the counter bottle?

I am in desparate need of finding a doctor in or near warrwn ohio that will prescribe oxycodone 30mg and xanax 2mg for my husband. He has been on both since he was 18 and is now 45. He broke both legs, has severe knee problems and scoliosis of the spine. The only thing that helps him a little bit is the oxycodone. Please please help. ## There is really no way to recommend a doctor that is guaranteed to prescribe these medications. The best thing to do is for him to see a new doctor, and without asking for specific medications, just let his medical records speak for themselves. That allows a new doctor to see what has and hasn't been working for him, without him seeming to be a drug seeker. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side ...
