White oblong slice on one side ## Pill Image This is Acetaminophen 325mgs and Hydrocodone 10mgs, a generic for Norco. ## are there pain pills that do no contain acetaminophen? ## I used to get yellow Norco 10mg. It has changed to white M367 pills. What is supposed to be the difference ?? I felt less pain with the yellow. Am I crazy ?? Why don't the whites work the same.

I have MS and need pain relief. I don't like the stigma oxycontin has to it. I simply don't find it helpful. Is Opana a good substitute? I take 5 mg of oxycodone for breakthrough pain but sometimes it is not enough. If I don't deal with the pain appropriately I get sicker and more fatigue. I am not familiar with narcotics at all. I will admit a fear of them. Any answers please. ## BEEN ON OPANA AND THE ER FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS NOW. I LIKE IT. DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE YOU SLEEPY AFTER THE 2nd DAY. MY PAIN LEVEL STAY AT ABOUT A 3 TO A 6 NOW WHEN IT WAS A 10. ## ## I have herniated disks in my t-spine and have tried almost everything out there. I started on 20 mg 2 times a day but it didn't last long enough, so I switched to 10 mg 3 times a day which gave me better coverage. ...

Please provide information on Buscopan indications and contraindications, dosages, adverse reactions, drug interactions and nursing considerations. ## HNBB BUSCOPAN DRUGSTUDY ## Buscopan contains Hyoscine, it is used to relieve bladder or intestinal spasms. Common side effects may include: nausea, constipation, dry mouth and trouble urinating. I cannot locate a drug study on it. Does anyone else know where to find one? ## drug study of buscopan ## My advice is NEVER to combine Buscopan and an opioid. I was in severe pain, and of course opioids cause stomach upset. So, no warning from the the chemist, I took both. I was out of my tree. It wasn't the Oxycodone, I had that before, but they play havoc with my stomach. Tried the Buscopan, and within an hour I was dizzy, confused, fell ov...

is the oxycodone 20mg tab with imprint PR on one side and 20 on the other an immediate release tab or extended release tab? ## Hello, JDUB! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 20mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. 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? ## Can u chew oxy. Does it have the same affect should you swallow them whole

I have found a half of a pill that is white oblong with only a M3 on it and did not know what it was. I know that a lot of Norco have a M3 and other numbers but didn't know if there was any other medicine that had that same type of description?

The DOT physical Doctor would not approve my physical because I was being prescribed Hydrocodone 5 mg. I had to get a statement from my regular Dr. saying I would not be prescribed that medicine any more. I was taking the medicine for reumetoid arthuritis. Does anyone know anything about this new law? ## Not sure if you drive a city bus, school bus etc... or if it even matters. I drove a school bus for 14 years and during that time frame I'd had 8 out of 13 surgeries, in which the last two was on my back, lumbar region.

What is it an orange capsule someone said its a potent painkiller is it? ## What is an orange capsule that was prescribed for pain a lot of years ago that on says on the paper seal to take for pain every 2 hours until pain is relieved ## Heidi, are there any markings on it? What I am about to post for the original poster might not apply, depending on how old your capsule is, where it was found, and etc. The U.S. FDA requires all manufactured tablets and capsules to have unique markings on them to enable their identification. Those that do not have markings are most likely over the counter products. Though there is also a chance they were specially made by a compounding pharmacy, there is also a small chance they could be a foreign medication.

Large white oblong coated pill; blank on one side and the #81 on the other side; no other markings ## A white oblong pill with 81 on the side - I found one too. What is it? ## What is the name of the medication that is white, oblong with the number 18 on one side? ## Is the marking possibly I8? As in a capital i?

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

Has anyone with severe chronic pain been told by their pain management doctor's that they and everyone else has to come below 90 mg of ms contin a day because of the DEA? Well, my doctor is. In the past 4 month's, he's taken me down from a comfortable level to now in half until he gets me to 30 mg x3 a day. I've read a lot of these post's, yet I've not read anywhere about the government getting involved. Are we the only one's? Also, I've been to the best of the best doctor's, and they've all said there's nothing they can do for me. My spine is shot. A pain pump was recommended, but the risks outweighed the benefits, according to Stanford Pain Management. So, what am I supposed to to with this? Any help would be a great kindness. ## Hello, Tara...

if i am a subtance misuse user of heroin and the courts have asked me to have a hair strand test will they just test for that one drug or is there a test that can test for all drugs at the same time, or can they only test for one drug at a time. ## I have used heroin in small amounts. Less than half gram twice in the past month. About the shots each time. Is this to little to make it above the cutoff levels for a hair follicle test? Also. I have a for hydrocodone but often take more than the prescription calls for. I was told the test is not quantitative so as long as I have a valid script, I'll be ok? Super concerned about the small amount use of heroin.

Hi thanks for taking the time to read this and any advice would be helpful asap. I am going to a new doctor tomorrow. I have heard he is willing to prescribe pain killers and has to some patients, but definitely not a place where he does to every patient. I used to be on 30mg oxycodone and 50mg Tramadol as well as Soma for my back, knees, feet and other bad pain. I went off health insurance a year ago and have not been able to get my meds. My quality of life has went downhill bad. I have put on weight and my blood pressure went up. Also exercising minimally has become difficult as has performing my work and being intimate at home with spouse. I need to get back on these meds asap. I am wondering from some experienced people what I should say tomorrow or how I should approach the situati...

How close to a accurate amount of oxycodone in ones body can be measured by a urine test? Example... i take one hundred mg of oxycodone a day. I should be taking 210 mg ...will the urine test for oxycodone pick up this difference in quantity? ## I see a pain specialist and he regularly believes, via a urine test, that I've not taken as much oxycodone as he has prescribed. I need to understand why. ## antijwe Well it depends most docs are hypersensitive when it comes to prescribing powerful cds's add to that any history of addiction multiple doctor visiting just adds to that parranoia.

When a doctor is looking for percocet 30mg in urinary will percocet 5mg test the same results? ## There is no 30mg Percocet, it contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen and is only available with a maximum of 10mgs of the Oxycodone. There are, however, other formulations of Oxycodone, by itself, that are available in 30mgs. And as to the test, yes, Oxycodone is Oxycodone and will test as such, regardless of which formulation you take, however, you may not have the right levels in your body, which is something that many of these tests also check. When you are prescribed a certain amount, at certain dosing intervals, your doctor knows that the levels in your body should fall within a certain range, anything outside of this range alerts them that someone may be taking more than they are prescr...

Hi: I have been taking 36 01 v generic norco by Qualitest for a couple years now, due to a long list of pain issues. Since the Fed Law has been changed and I can no longer get refills on my prescription, I was also informed by my pharmacy they no longer carry the yellow 36 01 v and wanted to give me ip110. I finally found a pharmacy that had 70 of the yellow and gave me 20 of the white ip110. I find the white ip110 does not work well at all. I felt them a little faster but they are not as string and wear off very quickly, unless I double up on it. Why have all pharmacies stopped carrying the yellow 36 01 v? Also is there a difference with hydrocordone Bitartrate? I took white ones a few years ago (1 a day though was 3x's a day) and it gave me heart palpitations. So of course I'm...
