I have been taking Toradol 10 mg every day for the last week and am wondering how long till it is out of your system? ## Toradol contains the active ingredient Ketorolac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so it won't be tested for on a drug test, if that's what you're worried about. It has a relatively short half-life and should be out of your system in 48 to 72 hours. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and stomach irritation. ## I took a Toradol on Friday before my dressing change and this is Sunday & I have been nauseated for 3 days & have no appetite. How long before the nausea sub-sides? Does anyone know? My email is [email protected] [1] if someone has any answers. Thank you! [1] Editor's note - in order to protect privacy, ...

could you please show a picture of yellow percocet 230 ? thank you ! would like to see a picture of my pill ! ## Hi Linda, Unfortunately I cannot post a photo due to copyright reasons. However if you're able to look up the manufacturer's web page (Alvogen Pharmaceuticals), and check their product directory, I found that they do show a photo of the tablet in question. For verification, this particular product has a National Drug Code of 47781-230 Just out of curiosity, did you obtain this medication from a legitimate source? I only wonder because I find it odd that you would need to see a photograph of the pill if you have it already in your possession? You can also learn more about this drug on the page for Percocet Details I hope this info helps and wish you good health! ## Wan...

How many tylenol 3s equal a 10/325mg norco? ## Hello, Yoyo! How are you? Codeine is actually a very weak opiate, so it would take 66.67mgs of it to equal each 10mg Hydrocodone. But, you can't double up, without your doctor's permission, due to the Acetaminophen in them. Taking too much of it in any 24 hour period could result in fatal toxicity, liver damage or liver failure. The FDA lists 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? ## Why would a doctor switch a person that's been on Hydrocodone-Apap 7.5/325mg to Tylenol 3?

My Dr has moved. I am now without a Dr for my patches...I only have 4 left. Two Drs I went to do not prescribe. Please help. Thank you... ## Hello, Jeri! How are you? If you require such a strong narcotic for pain management, you'll need to see a pain management specialist and if you're going to doctors and just asking if they'll prescribe it, they'll usually see that as being drug seeking behavior and just tell you no. You need to see a new doctor and basically let your medical records speak for you. Can anyone recommend a good doctor in that area? 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. ## I went to a pain Dr. She was the worst Dr I have ever...

I broke my foot and I'm in severe pain. What I have is called a lisfranc fracture. I was on Tylenol threes and they didn't help and then I got hydrocodone 5 - 3 - 5 and they didn't help the last thing I tried was Oxycodone 5 325 and they still didn't really take the pain away. So I asked my doctor for something that would help the pain and he prescribed me Tramadol 50 mg. I am apprehensive to get it filled and try it because I'm not reading anything positive about it. Please help! What is the next thing I should ask for if Oxycodone 5 325 isn't helping with my pain? I don't like that it has so much Tylenol in it I would rather have something just for the pain that doesn't include Tylenol or Ibuprofen. Please advise if you can. thank you! ## While being a ...

how long before positive effects? will the shakes, cold sweats, constipation go away? ## Have you spoke to your doctor about this? The constipation is normal, but shakes and cold sweat are not. How high of a dosage are you taking? It may be too much for you or just the wrong medication for you to take. Other normal side effects may include: nausea, dizziness and dry mouth. Learn more: ## Could be days could be weeks to month, Tramadol is a fake pain killer for people that don't have real pain. ## What do you mean for people that have fake pain?

Hello, I have recently found myself in a situation. I am working extremely hard to prove my pain management office differently. Please any help will be greatly appreciated. I currently take Tylenol 4 with Codeine, Tizanidine and a blood pressure medication for high blood pressure and a cholesterol medication for high cholesterol. The issue that I'm having is in my urine drug test, the quick dip comes back positive for "Opiates". Ok, fine, but when the facility does a more in depth test on the "Opiates", it comes back positive for "Morphine, Codeine, Hydrocodone, Norhydrocodone, and Hydromorphone". Does Tylenol 4 with Codeine cause a positive result for those Opioids on a urine drug screen? Any information or help to find the answers I'm looking for are gr...

I had seen six doctors that all misdiagnosed my condition and finally one got it right but the insurance company wouldn't pay for any type of treatment other than pain management, so I have been taking different types of medication for a few years now for two bulging discs, degenerate disc disease, and sciatica. Early on I dealt with constipation from the dosage of morphine that I was prescribed, so for the past year I have been taking three 30 Mg of morphine sulfate ER, eight 10/325 Mg Norco, and eight 100 Mg of Gabapentin per day. Unfortunately my body tolerance to the current dosage isn't working like it once did. My approach has been to decrease the amount of medication for two months then go back to my regular dosage, but the last few attempts hasn't helped make the med...

I sometimes get bad sight but just 1-2 times every 6 months, not a lot. It's like I have fluid in my right eye and cant see well on the right side for about 1 hour, then suddenly my sight comes back. Hearing sounds hurts me. I turn my volume all the way down to 10% cause it's annoying to hear the noise from a tv or radio. I recently started getting tinnitus in my right ear and wonder why? Tinnitus started coming at the same time I started taking vitamin C with rose hip and turmeric and maybe that's not good with tramadol? I have also had issues with alcohol cravings and started taking tramadol for back pain and suddenly cravings for alcohol were gone. I just wonder if I am alone or has someone else discovered the same results? Also, I have kidney stones and wonder if tramado...

I have been a regular taker of Percocet for recreation. I know, not a great idea, but I have a question. Apparently, I took much more than normal, with quite a bit of alcohol a couple of nights ago. I woke up the next morning with recurrent panic attacks. I had noticed that I had attacks on occassion if I was not careful about how much I took, but they lasted a minute or two and then left. Since my last dose (about 48 hours), I have been experiencing attack after attack ... I am assuming that I may be in withdraw or experiencing a side effect, but as the hours go by, I am not so sure. I see that it takes up to three days to get it out of my system (previous post). I have been a regular user, but not all of the time. If I have them, I take them, otherwise, I have always been fine. Obviou...

I have taken 8 mg of suboxone for the past 2 days, the last time being last night around 8pm. I just received a prescription for 60 mg morphine for a back procedure and am hoping to be able to take it by tomorrow night. The doctor told me since I only took it for a few days that's all I should have to wait (although I sure felt the shot they gave me!) Does anyone have any experience with this or answers that may help? ## Hello, Lolly! How are you? It usually takes about 72 hours, before other opiates will work, though it could be different for you, since you felt the shot without any issues. If your doctor doesn't feel you need to wait longer, then it is always best to follow their advice. It isn't harmful to try taking another opiate sooner, the Suboxone just prevents them ...

Ok my drug test I bought from walmart came out negative and then I went right to probation to pee and it was dirty. How can that be possible? Is there any such thing as false positives? ## Yes, false positives are known to occur on standard urine tests anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time they are used. The main problem stems from the fact that most places are not required to use certified drug tests. Therefore, they usually use cheaper ones that are not as accurate and can easily give false positives. The test your purchased at Wal-Mart would also not have been a certified test. The reason you got different results has to do with the sensitivity of the tests, their accuracy and quality control. In addition, some over the counter products can also cause false positives for some substances...

Hello. Hope someone can help me. I'm 35 years old from CO professional skier. I had a total of 3 lumbar back surgeries since mid Augest. I am healing well but still have many nights sleepless because of pain. Most resent surgery was only 3 weeks ago. I came to my parent home in Newport Beach CA to recover. My doctor at the University of Colorado Spine center sent with me a totally 100% legitimate prescription for 10 mg Oxycodone. It's the real original sheet complete with his signature, DEA and licence number and all the security features. I've been to several Walgreens/CVS, etc. and they keep insisting they can't fill a out of state written prescription here in CA. Please any advice/suggestion ASAP. Havnt been able to sleep in 3 nights and really disrupting my bodies na...

Is it possible to at least cut these in half in order to take a lower doseage? ## These are time released tablets and, even though they have tried to formulate them to prevent it, cutting them in half could still result in your getting too much of the medication released, at once. The Oxycodone in this is a very potent narcotic analgesic and getting too much at once could be very dangerous. If you require a lower dosage, you should contact your doctor, as they can prescribe them in a lower amount. Are there any other questions? ## I have cut these into quarters with no adverse affects. So it is basically become a 5mg dose. I like these because they do not contain acetaminophen like most other narcotic prescriptions. So one pill can last me up to 2 days. ## I need help and wanted to know...

Have deteriorating disc at the 4/5 in lower back. It is going out towards my back which to me is more uncomfortable but doctor will not give me any thing for the pain. I have taken Vicodin, Tylenol, Ibuprofen and now I'm trying the new back advanced but can't take the other pills. I have tried to get disability but doctor says I need surgery. I refuse to have it 1. cost to much with no insurance and 2. have family members that have had it and just made it worse. ## If the issue is so severe that you need surgery, it is doubtful that you will find any over the counter medication that will handle the pain. Over the counter products are intended to be used to relieve minor aches and pains, not something severe. Learn more pain management details here. Have you considered seeing a d...

Have 80 mg oxycodone but scared to take that much, can I cut in half,? Quarters? ## Hello, Richie! How are you? No, Oxycontin is a time released formulation of Oxycodone and cutting it could cause you to get too much of the medication, at once. It should be taken intact.

How long does ER 60 mg morphine give pain relief per dose? ## Hi, Jane! How are you? These are designed to slowly release the medication over a period of 12 hours, so they are normally prescribed to be taken twice daily. However, some people do find that they don't get as much pain relief after about 10 hours, or so. Learn more MS Contin details here. 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. ## how often should you take 60mg morphine tablets?
