Recently got prescribed narcos round white chalky ish u01. .5 mg they suck they do not work we want the old Watson's or the yellow ones. . U01do not work they are horrible I don't know what the deal is made in China do not know they do not work who's also use U05 I believe so that are 10 mg they don't work either those are oblong white and chalky they do not work start a protest ## What doesn't work for you might work for someone else, and vice-versa. We are all different. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache. What types of problems have you experienced from taking them? Do they just not relieve your pain, or are you having other issues?

I found methamphetamine in my system but I only take Oxycodone from Actavis mfgr; pill number a215. How could that be? ## Gimbo, are you taking any other over the counter product (such as cold medicine) or an herbal / diet supplement? As far as I'm aware there should not be any methamphetamines in your system just from the Oxycodone since those are 2 completely different classes of drugs. ## That has happened to me and it was definetly a lab mistake because I've never taken that. That might be your problem too cuz labs mess up ALOT way more than you'd think.

I am just worried for a friend. I found pills and found out what they were and how they were being used and I am concerned.. ## Some of the side effects of abuse may possibly include addiction, with withdrawals if they run out, chronic constipation, drowsiness, dizziness, pinpoint pupils and the risk of organ damage and overdose. Oxycodone is classified by the FDA as a narcotic, so being addicted to it and abusing it can be very dangerous and is something your friend should get help with. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## If your friend is just taking 1 or 2 just to not be in pain she's prob just trying to live life without being in pain all the time. Believe it or not most drs now won't give u anything these days for pain. On the other hand if she's not in pain ...

I am a T7 paraplegic with severe spasticity and chronic pain due to a bullet in my spine. As of February I have been looking for a Dr that is compassionate and will take me on as a patient. I have been taking a 100mcg/hr fentanyl patch every 72 hours along with 30mg of oxycodone every 6 hours for the last 9 years. Actually it was reduced from a patch every 48 hours and 30mg of oxycodone every 4 hours 2.5 years ago. I left my last pain management Dr after a disagreement with his new Nurse Practitioner and no willingness to help or see me on his part. I am currently in desperate need of a new pain management Dr. My primary care physician chase managed my pain medication for the last 9 months and can not help for much longer as my retirements are beyond her scope of practice. Without pain ...

What does regular release mean for these pills rp30 I think they not as strong as the blue m box and a214 pills let me know ## Hello, Dominik! How are you? As defined by the FDA, regular release tablets take about 15 to 20 minutes to start working, after you take them. 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? ## Trying to identify aspirin-sized round white pill with RP on one side and 30 on the other but is twice as thick as an aspirin. Is this pill the equivalent to the tiny light blue round 30 roxicodone? The tiny blue ones act very quickly.

I just switched to CVS from Walgreens as of Monday 8/23/17. I was getting the Oblong Shaped White pills from Walgreens but today I picked up round shaped small white pills from CVS. I of course did some research and came across this forum and I'm nervous. I literally just swallowed my 1st one. I'll post my results soon. ## There shouldn't be anything to worry about, they are likely just made by a different manufacturer. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache. What are the markings on them? If you can post back with this information, I will gladly research them for you.

Does anyone know a pain clinic that perscribes oxycodone and doesn't judge you? ## Hello, Superm! How are you? Due to the new regulations, all doctors must proceed with extreme caution when prescribing controlled substances, or they risk losing their license to practice medication. Oxycodone is a very potent narcotic analgesic that can be habit forming and is very frequently abused, so you really just have to be prepared to jump through the hoops, if you want a doctor to prescribe it for you. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Do you have a PCP that could refer you to someone? ## If you find one please let me know! ## Looking for pain management clinics or doctors in Kentucky that will accept patients who have been on suboxone for the past two years.

Any and all input is welcomed, regardless of medication being delivered. So about 4 years ago my pain doctor tried to put me on a fentanyl patch and unfortunately I couldn't get the patch to stick longer than 20 minutes. It never worked out. Now, I am in Colorado which is drier than the Gobi, and I don't tend to use a lot of lotion yet I cannot get patches to stick to me. Apparently I'm oily or just so slick nothing sticks? ha Anyway, I'm looking for thoughts and info on how to make a patch stick. I'm also wondering how to get adhesive and any product used to make the patch stick residue off my skin. I will be going on butran patches tomorrow and naturally I can't just slap some duct tape over it AND it's a 7 day patch. If a 2 day one didn't keep...7 days...

Is there any pharmacies in Orlando or places around the neighborhood that will fill a prescription for Roxicodone 30 Mg or 15 Mg ?

Dr is doing this after 6 years of oxycodone and 3 yrs of morphine er. Not sure why she is doing to me. I even offered to bring my meds in for med count. What should I expect with her doing this? I'm scared that Dr is doing this. When I've been chronic pain patient for long time. Before she believed I was in lot of pain. I hurt my kidneys n liver for taking up to 30 over counter pain reliever just to function at work ## Hello, Nick! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. How much is she lowering them and what were your normal dosages? The DEA has issued a new directive telling doctors that, unless someone has a possibly fatal illness such as stage 4 cancer, they should not be prescribed more than the equivalent of 120mgs of Morphine per day, some states h...

I've been on pain management for about six years and am having difficulty. I first noticed it with 20 mg IR tabs that my doctor replaced for 10 mg tabs, my insurance was only going to pay for so many. It wasn't three days that I realized that these weren't right. I got almost through the bottle that month in less time than I was supposed to and went back to my doctor for answers. He chastised me, sent me packin'. Then after some research like on this site, I printed the comments by fellow pain management suffers. That's when he fessed up about the manufacturers of generic are mostly off by as much as 20%, other comments have given it to be as much as 30%. Usually the error of pain killer is off to the negative side. That is my experience. Well, that's my story an...

I have been taking Oxycodone 10 mg tablets four daily and Oxycontin 10 mg once daily at bedtime for several years. For the past month I've been going from hot to cold daily. Sometimes it only lasts for a short while, but more and more the episodes are lasting most of the day. Could this possibily be caused from my doses needing to be increased? I really don't want to increase the amount of these meds, but these hot/cold/hot/cold spells are driving me crazy. I'm a 71 year old woman and even the amount that I'm presently taking continues to make me sleepy, and this is why I don't want to increase the amount that I'm already taking. Thank you for any help you may offer. ## It is really hard to say, according to FDA reports, there are many different issues that could...

My Dr changed me from 10-325 to 5-325 because I broke the pill on half. The 10's were barely working. He said they did not appear in my metabolites. I called him out on this bc he must have lied. I never missed any dosages. I think he was wrong. ## Hello, Georgette! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. If you were only taking half of the prescribed dosage, then the amount might have been lower than it should have been and, in some cases, that's treated the same as it not being detected, at all. This is 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 he still prescribing the lower dose for you? ## Well, I was on hydrocodone 10/325. I have chronic neck...

What happens when someone decides to quit taking Morphine? What are signs to watch for? ## Since this is an opioid medication, they are known to cause withdrawal symptoms after consistent use. If you see the Morphine Details page under "Dependence and withdrawal", it states: "Stage I, 6 to 14 hours after last dose: Drug craving, anxiety, irritability, perspiration, and mild to moderate dysphoria... Stage II, 14 to 18 hours after last dose: Yawning, heavy perspiration, mild depression, lacrimation, crying, headaches, runny nose, dysphoria, also intensification of the above symptoms, "yen sleep" (a waking trance-like state) Stage III, 16 to 24 hours after last dose: Rhinorrhea (runny nose) and increase in other of the above, dilated pupils, goose bumps (a purported ori...

Or if I take when will I get sick to my stomach please help me I'm in severe pain Mike can't see my doctor to the middle of I can't see my doctor until mid-December ## The ones from 2008 I'd trash but the ones from 2015 will have lost potency but shouldn't make you sick. I'd most def check with a pharmacist first just to be certain. ## According to reports by Harvard University's Medical School as well as the LA Times Newspaper, many medications can last anywhere from 15-40 years before degrading to such a point that renders it useless. In my findings, the expirati...

How long do Nucynta stay in your blood stream, not your urine? Thank you ## If Nucynta is an opioid and Morphine is an opioid would they show up any different on a drug test? If they are different tell me how they tell? ## Does nucynta show up the same as morphine (ms contin) in a drug test? ## I went to my Dr this morning and he said that Nucynta showed up in my drug screen. There's only one huge problem, I didn't take it. Nor have ever heard of it.

I had a tooth pulled with an infected root. I was prescribed percocet for it. I will be done five days before having surgery on my carpal tunnel. Will it be okay? ## What has your surgeon advised? It is always best to follow their instructions. The FDA warns that Percocet carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as dry mouth, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and constipation. Are you on any other medications?

I wear a drug patch and have been to the ER for my back. I was given shots of dilaudid, demerol and valium. I also take soma and vicodin. They said I tested positive for morphine. Will the drug patch come back as morphine? ## I was just tested and my Dr said that my fentynol levels and my oxy levels were low but morphine was high. I don't take morphine but chewed on a few patches the days leading up to the test. Was wondering if that's what causes the morphine in my u.a.
