Can you get Pregabalin with g30/500 written on it? I have capsules in my home that say g30/500 & I was told they are Pregabalin. Could you let me know if that is possible? They are red & white capsules. ## I have the very same tablets with G30/500 printed on both ends (red and white capsule)... They were sold to me as pregabalin but I googled them and can't find an image of them anywhere. If you find any more info on them please tell me what you find out about them.... Thanks. {edited for privacy}.

Tonact ASP 75mg (Atorvastatin and Aspirin) capsules was prescribed by my doctor but nowadays it is not available in any market. Some chemists say production is stopped and some say due to price revision purposes it is not available. I wander from pillar to post but have been fruitless. How and from where can I get it? Please advise. ## Are Tonact and Atorva the same? ## Can I take Tonact ASP 75mg instead of Tonact 10mg for increased cholesterol?

I recently got kicked out of my pain clinic due to a urine screen showing a small amount of THC. I have been on Morphine 100mgs, and vicidin. They just left me high and dry, I don't want to deal with the withdrawals as years ago I had to get myself off Oxycontin. I am pissed because I was treated so badly. I rarely use weed, but don't feel there is anything wrong with occasional use. ## Trying to get off 30mg morphine (have been taking pain meds for years). Would I be ok to take 15 mg for a week then 7.5 mg for another week without suffering too much? ## That's so unfair. This is the United States of America and what's good for one state should be for all. It should be illegal however for any doctor to cut a patient completely off a medicine that they have been prescribi...

I have not taken any drugs in two months. How can I test positive? ## Evidently you can test positive for this and other things that you have never done. I did and had never even seen fentanyl till last week when a friend of mine asked me to put this patch on her back and while I was doing it for her I just asked what it was. Well this was on Saturday and yesterday on Wednesday I had my own drug test for pain management. So now I'm worried that I could test positive for putting it on someone else? It is so unfair to be accused of something you haven't done and even worse for these doctors to be allowed to dismiss patient's on a false positive test. But there's nothing that I know of that the patient can do except suffer consequence. To think it would be on record and you...

white oblong pill #653 ## I think the marking your asking about is Watson 853 and it contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Lortab, this is a narcotic pain reliever. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation. Read more: Are there any questions or comments? ## my husband has been taking Norco 10/325 for quite sometime. The pills are normally yellow oblong. When he got last script filled on Monday they gave him the Watson 853. He has complained of stomach upset and they aren't effective with his pain . With the yellow oblong ones he didn't seem to have these issues. Is there someway we could get them changed back to his normal pills. ## Concerned, its like any med or food. If you buy the store bran...

I am having surgery of my shoulder and cannot take any pain med that has opiates. But it has to be strong enough to kill the pain. If you can send me a list of them, I will appreciated. ## What has your doctor advised you to use? There are some options available, but you aren't really going to find any that are as strong and effective as opiates. There the NSAIDs: And then there is a medication such as Tramadol, but I am not sure if you can take that, since it is opiate related: ## Tramadol takes a week or so to start being effective. NSAIDS taken at large dose level will first rip out your digestive system and may result in renal failure. On average there are about 1000 more deaths per year from NSAIDS than opiates. ## If your doctor is telling to not to take opiates prior to the s...

I have been taking hydrocodone for leg problems an back.I recently had esopugus cancer but bear it.The funny thing I had a me I for my back and it barely showed anything.Now I am starting to think my stomach is the main problem.Is there any over the counter meds to replace my 10/325 hydrocodone I haven't found nothing yet.thx mike ## There is nothing OTC that will help the pain like what you've been.taking. Talk to your Dr. ## I can't attest to whether or not it's true, but I've heard speculation that certain strains of Kratom were probably the closest type of OTC alternative you can get to the analgesic effects of opioids.. This is not to say that it'll have anywhere near the same type of effect on your individual pain levels/tolerance to various treatment proto...

How many minutes after taking a 10mg of oxycodone does it show up in ur urine test. ## The major route of oxycodone excretion is in the urine. The effects of oxycodone last up to 4 hours after use. The length of time following drug use for which a positive result may occur is dependent upon several factors including the frequency and amount of usage, metabolic rate, excretion rate, drug half-life, and the drug user’s age, weight, activity, and diet. I suppose the only way to find out precisely is to test yourself with a testing kit that can be purchased online at various retailers. If you are interested in something like this I would suggest google as your best tool. Hope this information helps! ## How fast will oxycodone show up in urine,and how long for the full amo...

I hurt my back pulling at work and was needing to file worker's comp, and I know they'll have to drug test. My doctor has me on Ambien and Xanax to sleep. What I'm worried over is the Lorcet and Flexerll I took of my wife's the evening I was hurt. I Need to know how long Lorcet plus stays in ones's system. ## If you only took it that once and haven't been taking it regularly or abusing it, then you will be fine. The initial doses only stay in your system for about 24 hours or so. ## It will stay in your system for about a week. Even one pill will stay that long and it can easily be picked up because drug tests today are so accurate and has a very small amount to be considered a failure and they always test for opiates (Loratab is in that catagory). Accurate enoug...

By injection in ER at hospital ## Is toridal available to me on a as needed basis or can I only get it in the hospital? ## Toradol contains the active ingredient Ketorolac, it is a very potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, it is available in tablet form, but by prescription only. You can learn more Toradol details here. Side effects may include nausea, headache, drowsiness and stomach irritation. Are there any comments or questions? Is there anything I can help with? ## You can get a prescription for toradol (Ketorlac) in IV form... it comes in 30ml vials.

I am very frustrated...the laws have made those of us who need pain meds impossible. I have tried to buy meds online out of desperation..I am 50 and doctors seem to think i should lie my life in bed with an ice pack rather than help me..I can function with minimal drugs but noone cares!!! At worst a lortab or percocet 2 x a day would make a world of difference... anyone have any recommendations??? reputable pain management doctors??? anything??? at this point I would do just about anything. ## Did you find any help? I'm in a similar situation. Thank you.

I have been taking percocet for about 7yrs now. I was diagnosed with a rare disease 7yrs ago that gives me excrutiating abdominal pain. Well, I recently took a urine test (which I have taken many througout the yrs, and all have been fine), but this last one came back positive for oxymorphone, but negative for oxycodone. Why would this happen and how is it possible? I have never in my life taken anything else for pain other than motrin and the percocet that is prescribed to me. I dont understand. Does anyone know what the case may be? Also, I have not been in the hospital in about 6months, so I know that I have not been given any diff meds than prescribed. ## Percocet is Oxycodone, and it is metabolized into Oxymorphone in the urine. ## I take oxyCodone 30mg which is Percocet and when it...

I took a percocet 10-325 at 9 pm it's now 12:45 am and was wondering if I had to wait full 6 hours or can I take another ## Hello, Crystal! How are you? The Oxycodone in Percocet can be habit forming and, if you take it more frequently than as prescribed, you also run the risk of overdose, especially due to the Acetaminophen in it. Thus, it would be best to not change your dosing frequency, without your doctor's approval. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic that may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I'm having terrible pain with kidney stones. My apt it's not for another 13 hrs Can I take Oxycontine 10-325 more often than every 5-6 hrs to control the pain? ## I am o...

I take hydrocodone 4x a day and when I took a urine test they said I was non-compliant? What would cause that? ## I want to know why I showed positive on drug screen for tramadol when I took a white oblong Watson 853 (norco)? Norco didn't show up in the test. The nurse took me in a room and told me I was positive for tramadol in drug screen. She said if I had anything to say say it now. I told nurse I don't know how tramadol showed up because I don't take them. So now I have to see doc in 1 week. If I show up positive again the doc will will not see me again. Anyone who has tested positive for Tramadol while using a Watson 853 please reply asap. I'm trying to get proof I wasn't the only one who had this problem. thanks. ## The Congress approved a bill to change the d...

My son is allergic to both of these meds and he has been prescribed Tramadol for pain. I am unable to find if this drug is related to either and what to look for. ## Hello, Mari! How is your son? No, Tramadol is actually only very distantly related to narcotics, it isn't even really considered to be one. But you should double check the information to be certain. 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 there anything else I can help with? ## Trammodol is an opiate. I too am allergic ## Doctor: uh man I guess we have no choice but to give him oxycontin or dilaudid. I'm guessing he's allergic to nsaids too. ## Verwon: Tramadol (Ultram) is an OPIOID...

Can you have fentanyl if you are allergic to morphine? I have a rash with morphine but can take codeine. ## They are different medications, but when you are allergic to one medication, there is always a risk of discovering others that you are also allergic to, the only way to find out is by trying it to see. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Fentanyl is basically morphine. So since they are in the same family. I will be fine

Hello everybody, my name is Lisa. I have been seeing my pain management doctor for nine years. In the beginning he started me off at regular doses of Morphine Sulfate ER, Roxicodone, Diclofenac, Valium (for my horrific spasms) and Duloxetine. I have had 3 surgeries on my back, two laminectomies and the last one was a complete spinal fusion at L4-5 and S1 wherein they went in and took out a piece of my hip bone and fused it to my lower back along with plates and screws. They went in through my stomach and my back. I was opened in 3 places and the fusion took 17 hours as it was much worse than originally anticipated and my Dr. found another new herniation at L3. None of my three surgeries worked and this is due to an accident when I was 17 years old. I am now 47. I have done everything kn...

try to find out if these pills are extended release ## Hello, Jack! How are you? The only time released Oxycodone available is Oxycontin and they have the marking of OP on one side and the number corresponding to the dosage on the other. The tablets with the NP 14 marking contain 20mgs in the regular release formulation, so it's a generic for Roxicodone. 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.

My doctor has me on 10mg every 4-6 hours. Is this dosage safe? I was on Norco 10mg every 4-6 prior to this and this pain reliever seems much more powerful. ## Hi DeDe, The dosing instructions for this drug are as follows: "Dosage should be adjusted according to the severity of the pain and the response of the patient. It may occasionally be necessary to exceed the usual dosage recommended below in cases of more severe pain or in those patients who have become tolerant to the analgesic effect of opioids." The "usual" adult dosage is one tablet every 4-6 hours as needed for pain; so what you're doing now is fine. It may just be that you aren't used to the strength of oxycodone and therefore may or may not feel the need to use a lower dose, equivalent to that of Nor...
