My friend got some of what he believes to be endocet 10mgs. They are white oblong and have the markings of E 712 on one side and 10/325 on the other side. Are these really endocet 10mgs? If not does anyone have any idea what they might be? Please let me know. ## I know there's yellow ones like these but had anyone seen white ones that are the same thing? ## I have not been able to find any listings for a white tablet that matches this description. However, it might be best to double check with his pharmacy, because some companies have been removing the dyes from their pills due to the allergic reactions that some people experience from them. The FDA warns that these types of medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, head...

I have been on Methadone for about 5 years. I had an addiction to oxycontin and the went on methadone to quit. My highest dose was 120mg and I have managed to wean myself down to 17mg. The problem is I am having a really hard time getting off of it. Doing some reading I have learned that methadone is one of the worst for trying to quit. I have a perscription for 12mcg/h fentanyl for back pain which I havent been using but was thinking about quiting the methadone and using the patch instead so when I eventually drop it the withdraws won't be as bad. Has anyone tried this? is 12mcg enough? Any other thoughts or advice? ## I'm sending only a suggestion for you and that is...... If I were you the 12mcg. will be way way too low of a dose when coming off of oxycontin!!!! You should be...

I just moved to ATL from AZ for new job. Ive been on these meds for years. My DOC is well a wear of how pharmacy's are not stocking this med. ## Just moved to Atlc for a new job and cant find a pharmacy to phill my script. Ibex neen taking this med for years. In AZ I never had this pronlem. My doc is a wear off the issue. Thanks you, ## Have you discussed the possibility, with your doctor, of perhaps trying something else? There are Morphine tablets available on the market in all the same formulations as Oxycodone, in name brands and generics. If you are taking 30mgs of Oxycodone, then you would require 45mgs of the Morphine to be equivalent. Another question is, how are you shopping around for the prescription? If you are just calling the pharmacies, they will usually not give you ...

ok so i have a question on the M367 pills. First, I have taken Vicodin about two times in the past. First time i broke my left ankle 3 years ago and got a prescription for the 5mg/(not sure on the acetaminophen) Vicodin at qty 20 pills. Then one year ago I had two wisdom teeth pulled and got a prescription for 5mg Vicodin like 15 pills. I say that to point out the fact that i dont think i have any built up tolerance.. I dont take any regular medicine, then or now.When i took the Vicodin, both times, the pain was gone in 20-30 minutes and i was full of energy ( one pill a day) .. SO to my question... now i have a herniated disc pushing on a nerve root and some stenosis clamping down on a different nerve root.. all verified through MRI.... I got to the pain management Doc and he gives me ...

I'm currently taking Ultracet medicine with a batch number of 417 that's listed as being manufactured on 08/16. I would like to know how to determine the expiry of the medicine? ## The U.S. FDA lists the expiration as being one year from the date you received them, unless they are still sealed in the original factory container, or blister packs. If they, they may be good for 4 to 5 years. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. I have also been recently informed by a nurse practitioner, that the U.S. is the only country that requires expiration dates on medications. Thus, checking with your pharmacist to be sure of the regulations where you live might be advisable. Is there anything else I can help wi...

I know this is going to sound a little weird but has anybody noticed with Oxycodone 10mg that your bowel movements are much easier? I have always had constipation when taking my medication and suddenly this month I have had absolutely no issues which is really weird. Another thing I've noticed is my anxiety is really high... Has anyone else noticed going to the Bathroom been easier ? Sorry for the nasty question. ## Are you taking the regular release formulation? Some generic manufacturers use different excipients, which could cause this to occur, since the normal side effect is constipation, according to FDA reports. They also warn that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause other side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and headache. As to the anxiety...

Is there anything out there that can be used that could be similar too lortab/hydrcodone ## Hello, Sharon! How are you? There are actually quite a few other options available, including other narcotic alone, or others that are also combined with Acetaminophen. What specific problem do you have with the Lortab? That would help enable someone to answer your question. ## Hi, my name is Tricia, with the new laws that are about to be in effect I'm looking for an alternative rx that is comparable to Hydrocodone 10/325... I've been taking the same rx, same dosage as well, since 2000..

I would like to chime in here. If all possible do not take oxycontin er. I have been on them for 7 years now. I was taking Norco for a muscle disease I got for chemicals when I was in the army. I had a heart attack later on and my doctor at the time said I had to take these OXY. That it was safer if I knew what I know know I would have punched him in the mouth. I was on 140 mg er. I am now chemically dependant on them. It's miserable up and down wake up in the morning in full blown withdrawals. I have been self tapering myself off of them. This is a very very miserable. I am now down to 10 mg 3 times a day. Getting ready to go to ir's. I dropped 10mg ever couple of weeks to get here. I will never take another opiate when I can get off. If you are in my boat I am here to say you ...

What would this pill be, it's round and reddish in color with the number 57 on one side ## I found the same pill. Indiana? Red / maroon 57 on one side and blank on the other side. White underneath the red. What is it anyone? ## Based on the appearance and imprint, this is reportedly a 200mg Ibuprofen tablet used for mild to moderate pain relief. For verification, the manufacturer is listed as Avema Pharma Solutions. Ibuprofen pills are generally depicted as being brown, but whenever I see one in person it's obvious to me that the pill looks reddish or maroon in color; would you guys agree? I hope this info helps!

I have had 4 back surgeries, 1 neck surgery, 1 rt knee surgery, and 1 rt shoulder surgery. I've been on many pain meds but now what works for me is 10/325 norco. I dont want anything stronger. I'm sure im addicted but cant function; without them i need that little relief to maintain my sanity. I have been labeled a druggie. What is really going on here when we put animals in pain to sleep and let humans suffer? Just saying. ## Who labeled you a druggie and why? What type of doctor have you been seeing? 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. ## Does anyone no of a good Dr. And pain clinic near thomasville ga. 31792 Or valdosta .ga. or Albany .ga. or Ta...

I was wanting to know if I can take just regular bayer asprin for my high blood pressure. I'm trying to stay away from doctors how many a day I'm 47. Mine ranges between 170/85 please let me KNOW I don't take any prescription drugs at all. So it would only be asprin white regular. ## No, Aspirin can act as a thinner, but it will not lower bp by itself, according to FDA reports. Some people can lower theirs by diet, and exercise, but the problem here is that you are reaching dangerous levels, you are at risk of experiencing a heart attack, stroke, or congestive heart failure. Even if you don't like taking prescription medications, it might be best to take one, for awhile, until you get things under control, then slowly convert to diet and exercise, as your doctor directs....

found M 30 light blue slit in half like a English Muffin and was able to twist apart as if they were glued together.... dont believe they are real ## Hey Dave, If it's something you found on the street in the kind of condition where you could just pull it apart like that, I would also think it was counterfeit or purposely tossed outside for a good reason. You shouldn't really be able to do that with any tablet, but it sounds like some people will go the extra mile to give a false appearance. Does it also have the same type of imprints as the real version, with an "M" on one side in a box and "30" over a score line on the back side? ## I came across the blue m 30's and they look exactly like the real ones. I had a real one in hand also and other them the fact ...

My Pain Management Doctor is thinking about switching me from MS Conlin Brand to Ayrmo which is a new tamper proof morphine. I just want to see if anyone has tried it and is it the same potency as the brand morphine? I have already had to go from 6 MSContin to 4 MScontin a day thanks to the new federal rules.

I'm taking Lisinopril 20mg. Can I take Advil or Aspirin along with it? What are some things I should stay away from (foods, drinks, anything)? ## If you have high BP, or a cardiac condition, it is always best to keep your diet as low in sodium and fat as possible, according to NIH studies. You can take Advil, or Aspirin, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise. These medications can cause elevated BP, in some people that take them, so it is always best to be careful and double check with your medical provider. Caffeine could also be contraindicated. According to FDA reports. Is there anything else I can help with?

I picked up this medication for my daughter but the print out paper didn't list side effects or anything. I was wondering if this was safe to take with tylenol? ## What is the specific antacid that is in it? I'm sorry, but I really can't provide an answer, without knowing more specifics. Tylenol can react negatively with many medications, so can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! The FDA lists the typical side effects of Tylenol as possibly including nausea, dizziness, and headache.

How long do I have to get records to the doctor before being seen? I need to know what all I need to bring at the time of my visit/appointment? ## Hello, Trey! How are you? There is no specific time frame set in stone, it can vary from doctor to doctor. However, I would recommend giving them at least a week, that way they have time to peruse your records, before your first visit. A doctor normally wants to be fully informed, before they write any prescriptions for a patient. For your first appointment, the NIH recommends that you take a copy of your most recent records, in case they have no received them, plus a list of any medications you are currently taking. Their office should also be able to tell you what they need. Can anyone else provide advice?

Are the Orange pills with 60 on one side & a box with an m on the other morphine sulfate extended release or instant? ## Hello, Leann! How are you? These tablets are manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and they list them as being time released. 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? ## Anytime you have a pill you're not sure about, go google pill identification and you'll get a web page that asks the shape color and imprint of the pill, then it will give you exactly what it is. Hope that helps.
