I have been been on Norco for 4 yrs and am looking for a new doctor. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2009, and am looking for a do tor who will continue with this treatment. ## I may not have a doctor I can refer you to, but I can provide you with a couple links that may be of service to you in locating pain management doctors within your general area.

Keep in mind that because everyone is different, these are only intended to be rough estimates and should be treated as such. Given the time frame you allowed yourself (monday through friday) in relation to the figures mentioned above, you should be able to pass a urine analysis with no problem. I...

I took 1 325mg Percocet for three days. How long does it stay in your system ? Also does it make you tired? ## Percocet contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, it is a narcotic analgesic. So, in the case of what you mentioned, the 325mgs would refer to the Acetaminophen, because it is only available with a maximum of 10mgs of the Oxycodone. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Thus, the dosing would be listed as something like 5/325, 7.5/325 or 10/325, with the first lower number referring to the amount of Oxycodone it contains. And as to the detection time, Oxycodone can usually be detected in urine for approximately 5 days after last dosing. And yes, it can cause drowsiness as a side effect, as well as nausea, dizziness and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## how long wi...

I am currently taking Opana ER 20mg 3xday. It is VERY costly &was wondering if anyone knew if the maker of this med gives low income people a discount or coupon?? ## They currently do not have a program of that nature. Many, many people need such a program but generally you can't get help for pain management. I am on Opana IM & ER @ $1760.00 a month. Thank God for my insurance! ## Yes, getting assistance for these types of medications is very difficult. If you have no insurance at all, you can try: PPARX.org and see if they have a program to help. Have you tried asking your doctor for another alternative? ## Visit and print a free discount drug card.

I have taken Tramadol, manufactured by Apotex, for the past nine months. Together, my neurostimlator and 200 mg. of Tramadol per day helped me to be virtually pain free! I renewed my Tramadol prescription last week and the new prescription says Tramadol, but this time the manufacturer is TEVA. This time, I continue to have pain and it is now the second week, and I am feeling intense pain. It is as if I was not taking any pain medication at all (my stimulator continues to work, but no one is ever promised that a neurostimulator will rid anyone of all pain. I have a friend who was switched to Tramadol from Apotex Manufacturing (the exact one I had for nine months) and is now taking Tramadol manufactured by TEVA. She is finding the same problem; it will not rid her of the pain she suffers....

I have seen a neurologist for over 10 yrs. I suffer with severe headaches and fibromyalgia. My Dr has tried/prescribed me a couple of different things over time. I can't take Lyrical, i had a bad reaction, and I'm having trouble getting Celebrex which was effective. Walmart has had my script for 2 mo. and keep saying they need Dr. authorization. But my Dr. office said it has been authorized. I've been taking Norco 10 2-3 times a day, occasionally more depending on the severity of my pain. I would like to know if there is something else he can prescribe for me that is a little stronger and is there a time released medication? ## If the Celebrex helps and Wal-Mart is giving you hassles, then it might be a good idea to see if they can return your prescription, or obtain a new o...

I've been taking tylenol #4 with codeine for over 18 years now for pain management. I would like to know what is the next step up because its not as effective anymore. I currently take 12 tablets a day. ## Hello Thoyt! Wow! I'm sorry you're in so much pain. That's a lot of it to be taken in one day, you're exceeding the 3,000mgs daily limit issued by the FDA or Acetaminophen. This medication is classified 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. The next step up would probably be Tramadol or Hydrocodone, with the first being the weakest and they latter being the strongest. Does anyone else have any suggestions? ## Codeine is not recommended for l...

I take Norco 10/325mg with a prescription. I ran out Saturday morning and my appt. is Wednesday. They do a regular urine test to make sure u are taking them. Will it still be in my system? ## They will know you haven't taken it in the past few days because of the level it will be. ## I ran out of my narco 10-325's. I have for and I see my pm tomorrow. I'm worried he will test since its been three months since my last test. If I take two today and two a few hours before my spot. Will that work? ## He may know by the amount in your system that you aren't taking them as prescribed. ## Thank you. Maybe you can help me with this. I weight 310 lbs. . Does that dosage, mine being 10-325 narco one every 6 he's. Work the same as it does for a person that weights say 150lbs.? ...

I went to a pain management dr. I ve had hystorectomy and have been on 10mg / 325 norco. I moved back to florida from New Mexico. Having severe back problems urinary incontinence and etc I went to a Pcp. He gave me 5/325 120 count hydrocodone. Yesterday I went to pain management . Told him I was already on this and it wasn't working. He wrote me 90 7.5/325 and said that's what I needed to take. Get to pharmacy and pharmacy voids script per the doctors Orders. I told the truth. ? What's happening here ? Help! ## What isn't making sense to me here is that the doctor would write you the new prescription, then immediately tell the pharmacy not to fill it. Have you confirmed this with the doctor? Or are you just taking the word of the pharmacy? Sometimes pharmacies are guilty...

Are they just like norco's? ## Hi, Mustie! How are you? Yes, these tablets contain 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Norco. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it may be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more Norco details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## my advice to anyone taking hydrocodone is to also ask your doctor for a script of ultram. I have taken these two for over a year. Although I have only found one generic that is as effective(white watsons). Even with them the ultram makes the pain relief last longer. I get the 10's and I split them in half and take a whole 10 ultram. I get 100 hydrocodone and 90 ultram. I have a herniated disc...

Does anyone have recommendations of any doctors who will actually manage your pain in North Alabama (Gadsden to Huntsville area)? I have been on pain management for greater than 10 years, always been compliant with my treatment plan, never failed a drug panel, have LOTS of documentation showing my problems but yet NO ONE wants to truly manage my pain. In the past it seems as if I am placed on a regimen that finally works then all the sudden the MD or NP says that due to DEA they can no longer prescribe meds as I have been taking (that they started me on mind you) and they drop my doses drastically??? During the 10+ years I have only saw 2 pain management MD's so I do not doctor shop, etc..after a significant cut (3 -60mg Oxycontin's, 3 -30mg Roxicodone PRN BTP, Soma PRN to 2 - 6...

what differences come out from a pain management doctors urine test between prescription percocet 10mg. and prescription hydrocodone apap 10/325 ## Well, the active narcotic that they would be testing for is different in both of them. In the Percocet, it's Oxycodone and the other one is Hudrocodone. Learn more Vicodin details here. Learn more Percocet details here. Are there any other questions or comments? ## I am having severe back pain and I had a hernia recently in 2015 they're recalling it and I'm getting severe pain in my stomach the doctor said everything is fine but the pain is unbearable is there anything you can prescribe that would take away this pain

Why does it make me feel nauseated? It doesn't take my pain away or make me feel comfortable. In fact I feel like crap. I have severe nerve damage throughout my whole body. How many is too much? ## Anything more than what your doctor prescribes is too much. If it is not working for you, you should inform them, you may need a dosage adjustment, or to try a different medication. Nausea can be a normal side effect of this medication, along dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. The FDA also warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming. Are you on any other medications? ## I've been prescribed oxycodone 5mg (V 48/10) for a surgery months back. I'm 94lb and 5'1. Now having some issues and need to take them again.

I have been changed from 140mgs oxycodone to 40 x 2 mgs Oxycontin. I had so much more pain control with the Oxycodone but doc wants me on a ER medication and one for breakthrough. I feel a huge difference with the Ocycontin, not in a good way. Would like to go back to what I was taking as the relief was superior. The Oxycontin I barely feel any relief. How can that be? BTW, have two herniated disc, one completely gone so bone on bone, spinal stenosis at two levels. Sciatica. Again with all the new laws I feel like I have to be grateful to get anything? 52 years old, and docs always thinking you're looking for something. The history is clear, I just want relief, but feel asking for it makes them think your a "seeker". ## Hello, Linette! How are you doing? I'm sorry, but I...

I see a new doctor and would like to know if anyone knows how many oxycodone they are allowed to give before it's red flagged? ## Well, this is a little late, but thought i'd answer anyway in case anyone else looks it up....and I don't know if it varies by state, but in PA, I saw the 'report' the pharmacist has to submit(i THINK it was only for controlled substances), and it read like a damn government spy report, it was so pathetic... I guess the pharmacist gave it to me by accident. Anyway, one of the check boxes was 'More than 180 units?' So i guess it's 180 pills, then they had to special report it(to whom, i don't know.). I wish i had kept that paper, as I'm sure very few people have ever seen one,but this was over a year ago(from march 2017)...

this is a little light blue round pill with a m printed on it and underlined ## I can't possibly list them all, there are far too many on the market. It is the imprint that identifies them. Can you post back with the markings on the tablet in question? There is one that has an M in a box on one side and a 30 on the opposite side of the pill, it is light blue. There is another in a darker blue, with the M in a square and the numbers 596 on the opposite side. Do any of these match your tablet? ## What is the difference in oxycontin and roxycontin ## What you have is a 30mg roxy (Oxycodone ) ## I have a pill that's pink and has a k56 on one side and nothing is the other. Is this one of those pills?
