I was diagnosed with a bunch of stuff wrong with my back but none of these pain management clinics out here will even be honest and tell me that they see it. So I need to find a good doctor that's going to give me back my percocet. ## I need to find a dr in northwest indiana that will prescribe my Norco and Demerol for bad breakthrough pain, 7 knee surgeries and back problems. My family dr was... However, thanks to DEA and the "new" rules they keep making, she sent me to a pain dr., but the pain dr I see now is a quack.

I took 1 1/2 roxy 30 mg saturday night. I am 105lbs / 5'3. I have a urine drug test on tuesday and I want to know how to be clean by then? ## Oxycodone is generally only detectable for about 4 days, after you take it, though the time frame can vary from person to person, depending on your overall health, fluid intake, activity levels and other factors. Increasing your fluid intake and activity levels might help process it out faster, but here is no guaranteed way to do it. Are there any other questions? ## i've heard of drinking certo, which is something they use to make jelly. suppose to block all narcotics. u should be able to find in any grocery in jelly aisle. good luck ## i took 1 1/2 30 mg oxycodone tabs saturday and i have a test on monday, what can i do to pass the test?...

I Have had HepC for years. Been on dilaudid 8mg. for a couple years. Still in pretty bad pain. Would oxycodone 30mgs. be stronger than my Dilaudids? ## Hello, Sassie! How are you? Yes, you'd only beed 21.33mgs of Oxycodone to be equal to each 8mg Dialudid, so the 30mgs is actually a stronger dosage. The FDA classifies this medication as being 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? ## So, oxycodone 30 mg is stronger than Dilaudid 8 mg? My pain Dr. Tiles me the opposite and stopped my OXY in the day for Dilaudid 8 mg and a Oxycontin 30 mg er for nighttime. Did he just screwed me? ## I used to have Hep C and don't anymore,...

The drugs are affecting my brain function. Why isn't surgery preferred to treat my Spondylolisthesis? ## Hello, Barbara! How are you doing? I am very sorry about the problems you are experiencing. What medications are you currently taking? As so surgery, when it comes to a structure such as the spine, there is only so much that can be done to surgically treat any given condition. Trying to push it too far, surgically, could cause worse damage to you than the condition itself. What types of issues are you having that are causing you to question your brain function? The FDA warns that most opiates may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. They also carry the risk of being habit forming. ## Hydrocodone 325/10 four times daily. I have dege...

I am 60 years old and manage my diabetes with insulin. For the past two years, I've been taking "Aspirin Protect" 100, a product made by Bayer in Germany. Currently, I am in India and am contemplating whether or not I can switch to Ecosprin AV 75 or any other version of Ecosprin. The blend of ingredients in Aspirin Protect includes Acetylsalicylic acid and a Thrombocyte aggregation inhibitor; this information is conveniently printed on the packaging. Despite my search, I am yet to find such details on the strips of Ecosprin. Consequently, I would appreciate your advice. Alongside Aspirin, I've also been consuming Plavix for the last two years. Can anyone recommend a viable substitute for Aspirin Protect 100?

what is a hot colored pink pill with n 30 on it ## I had these too. They are a morphine 30 sr out of canada. Poison control confirmed it was an opiod.

Hi. If I took a 4 mg hydromorphone on Friday night and I have a drug test Monday around 6 pm, will I pass if I drink tons of water? ## This medication is usually detectable in a urine screen for about 3 to 4 days, but it can vary from person to person, depending on how much they have taken, and how long they've been taking it. 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. How did you test turn out?

Can TCL 272 pills be taken with ibuprofen? Also I don’t remember if I'm supposed to take 1 or 2 (TCL 272 round white pills). I’ve had them for a while. Someone please help. ## Time Cap Laboratories lists this tablet as containing 400mgs of Guaifenesin, which is used to help relieve congestion that is caused by colds, flu, or allergies. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and headache. Usually, it is taken once every 4 hours, as needed. What dosage is the Ibuprofen?

I need help identifying a white oblong pill with 142 printed on one side. I found it in a pocketbook I bought at a yard sale and want to know what it is? Could it be ibuprofen 800 mg? ## A white oval tablet with the marking of 142 is manufactured by Actavis and they list it as containing 300mgs of Bupropion, which is to treat depression, anxiety, and to help with smoking cessation. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood changes, and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

Does Purdue Pharma still manufacture MS Contin? If not, has the patent been sold to another producer? ## The name brand MS Contin is still owned and manufactured by Purdue Pharma, according to FDA listings, but there are generics, and other formulations available. They also warn that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, headache, drowsiness, dry mouth, and constipation. Do you have any other questions?

Please boycott Aurolife Pharmaceuticals. Ask your pharmacy and pharmacists NOT to purchase their products. Their medications are extremely cheap and cheaply made, causing horrible side effects. No offense to anyone but, their acetaminophen/oxycodone made me feel like a chemo treatment and my back pain never stopped!!! ## I am very sorry about the problems you experienced and that you were left so miserable. Unfortunately, many pharmacists are not the decision makers on which manufacturer's products are available in the pharmacy they work at. The corporate bigwigs usually pick a distributor and that distributor offers the pharmacy the product from whichever manufacturer is offering the cheapest price, at the time they need to restock their supply. The FDA warns that this medication c...

who is the manufacturer of oxycodone? ## Oxycodone is a generic medication, so there are actually several companies that make it. Are there any markings on the tablet in question? This information would enable me to answer your question. ## I just got the script. And wanted to know which manufacturers I could trust as I was receiving Percocet 10 mg and the quality got so bad and so inconsistent that my dr switch my prescription to plain oxycodonevwithout the acetaminophen? Is there a manufacturer better than another?

My PCP prescribed Percocet 5/325, two tablets twice daily for years of low back pain associated with 2 compressed disks & a fractured vertabra causing right leg & foot numbness. Recently she had me urine tested.I did an at home test & came positive for oxycodone.No surprise, since I was taking it as directed.She stopped prescribing them saying I was negative which meant I wasn't absorbing them (because of my gastric bypass) or I was filtering my drugs to others or selling! I asked how I could come up negative since I came up positive at home.I reminded her she's known me for over 20 years & I would not throw my 30 years as an RN away by do doing something that stupid.She said the lab doesn't make mistakes! Anybody got any insights? ## The labs may not make mi...

This worked for me. Cut dose by 20% each week, just keep doing it. When you cut the dose, use a sativa strain marijuana in low dose during day, and an indica marijuana at night. You may want to use the marijuana every day during your taper. The marijauana all but eliminates any craving, and you will manage easily with the 20% taper. By the time you have gotten down to a minimal dose you will be free and not have suffered withdrawal to any great degree. I found the marijuana helped with my chronic pain, and use it at night the odd day when it is bad. Being free of opiates is the best thing I ever did, having a doctor so willing to up the dose and prescribe even the fentanyl patch was my problem in the first place. Yes, the medication works and does kill pain, but the cost is too high. To...

Please Help at Ground Zero..I live near Baton Rouge Louisiana. I am in need of Pain Management that will allow me to private pay. I receive Medicaid/united health. This pain is going to be the death of me. I have a daughter who's 12 that is now dealing with Mommy being in Pain. Its go time! Thanks so much. ## Louisiana Medicaid will not pay for a pain management Dr. ## Try the Feldman Institute in Baton Rouge. You have to have injections and procedures as well if you want medications, but he also has his own MRI machine on the property. He's a brilliant doctor, and he accepts Medicaid and Medicare. ## Tiffanie, having Medicaid when you also have Medicare is not the same as having Medicaid only. ## I am looking for a pain management doctor who takes cash...I have been in pain 25 ...

White oblong tablet (not capsule) - one side says B L and the other side says 30. I think its a 30mg co codomol but im not too sure. Other half says it is a beechams plus. ## Yes I agree with you. I have two in my hands at this very moment. White oblong tablet (not capsule) 1.5 cm long. The characters are quite large for a tablet. ## According to Bristol Laboratories Ltd. (whom I'm assuming is the manufacturer), "a white capsule shaped biconvex uncoated plain tablet, debossed with ‘30’ on one side and ‘BL’ on the other side", is reportedly identified as Co-codamol 30mg/500mg - containing 30mg of Codeine Phosphate + 500mg of Paracetamol. Each tablet is also said to contain 0.3455mg of sodium - though I'm not sure if you can actually taste the sodiu...

I cannot find this picture of this pill and they don't work. Are these fake? Imprint of A 349. White and round. ## Hi Roy, Not to worry, they are in fact real and are made by Actavis. However many patients have filed complaints about pain meds coming from this particular manufacturer due to a lack of efficacy compared to other manufacturer's brands/generics. Concerning a photograph of the pill, I too haven't had any luck finding one on the internet, even after going through Actavis' main product page. But if you're just trying to verify their legitimacy, Actavis did have the decency to put up a product description on their webpage at: actavis.com/products/key-products/product-search?searchterm=Oxycodone NOTE: You'll see that it's the first tablet described on...

I don't understand why now, that i'm getting sent to a pain management, instead of staying with my regular primary doctor, that I have been going through, after these last two years or so? I have been taking my meds. like i'm supposed to, and I just feel like their not treating me right, all I was doing was asking why one of the office ladies if she could talk to my pharmacist, because the pharmacist is the head pharmacist, and the lady at my doctors office was very rude to me. I actually was very hurt, the way she treated me at my doctor's office. ## The DEA has issued new directives regarding how much a person should be prescribed, if they are not suffering from a possibly terminal illness, such as stage 4 cancer. They also warn that opiate medications carry the risk o...
