Pain Relief Forums (Page 288)

I am a 51 y/o who lives in Florida, suffering from chronic back pain, and have been prescribed to take up to six 30mg oxycodone tablets a day for over two years by my Pain Management doctor. However, when I went to fill my prescription almost 4 weeks ago, my pharmacy told me their distributor had stopped shipping oxycodone to Florida pharmacies. Since then, I have personally visited about 100 pharmacies but have been unable to find them in stock anywhere. As a former paralegal, I attempted to research the situation, but could only confirm that the DEA has yearly quot on all controlled substances (for oxy's is 98 million grams in 2011). From I gather from the Internet, it appears that the ENTIRE state of FLORIDA is not getting any shipments of oxycodone 30 mg. from distributors, but ...

Is is possible to have withdrawals from hydrocodone, even though I am now taking oxycodone? Bad sleep, short of breath, anxiety, extremely tired. I thought I was sick, but I recall feeling like this when I was going off another addictive medication. I take klonopin to help me sleep, but want to take a hyrocodone right now to see if my anxiety will ease up...Any suggestions? ## Hello, Kathy! How are you? No, Oxycodone is slightly stronger than Hydrocodone, so you shouldn't be experiencing withdrawals. Those same side effects could be due to starting the new medication, though. 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. Have they eased up? ## I had a total hip ...

Hello there... I have been taking tramadol (200mg) for sometime now and I have started noticing some redish spots on my genitals and other parts of my body.. How can I get tramadol out of my system and what do I use for redish spots? Thanks.

Tell me what kind of pill that looks like a football blue in color with l346 on it ## I can't say for sure, but this is most likely an over the counter sleeping aide. There doesn't seem to be a definitive ID for this pill online, but usually, when the imprint starts with an L, in the way you described it, then it is an over the counter type of Acetaminophen or Tylenol with Diphenhydramine. Hopefully someone else on here who has it in their possession can post something more affirming. ## Blue pill shape like a football with line across it says 44386 what is it ## Blue pill shape like a football with line across it says 44386 ## Have found pill blue football shaped with nothing on one side and L368 on other side. Is this Xanax and what strength if it is?

round,peach/orange...60mg, morphine sulfate...the other side has an m encircled with a square box ## these make me vomit about 2 hours after I ingest them sooner if I have food in my stomach> Is there anything I can take to stop this like prilosec ## Prilosec will usually not help prevent the nausea caused by narcotic pain medications. You need something that can actually help with nausea, such as something containing Diphenhydramine. I don't suggest using anything, though, without consulting with your doctor or pharmacist first, as certain medications may react badly with Morphine and/or enhance the side effects. Morphine is a very strong narcotic pain reliever. Along with the nausea, some of the other common side effects include: drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation and dizzine...

Is this pill morphine er 60mg? I can not find this orange pill that is imprinted N60. It has not showed up as morphine er 60mg in this color. ## I talked to our pharmacy today and she showed me the bottle they came in. There is another n60 imprinted pill for the heart. It is not shown to be orange either. How can two pills for different problems have the same imprint? It worries me since my husband is already on heart meds. ## Hello, Joy! How are you? That is because the orange pill with N 60 imprint is from Canada, it is not available in the U.S. It is listed by Teva Pharmaceuticals as containing 60mgs of Morphine in a time released formulation. The U.S. FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth,...

I am 33 yrs old and in constant pain. Between the knee surgery and the dual fusion (L4-S1) the daily pain runs my life. With all the changes regarding narcotic pain meds my life has been turned upside down. I was on a regimen that worked well then BAM! It all went to s***. Now all my doctor will give me is Tramadol.

What pill is this, I have been prescribed percocet in the past but never had this number imprinted. Can you tell me if the formulary might have changed? ## This tablet is manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Since this is a generic medication, it is manufactured by several different companies, which creates market competition to help keep prices down. Which one your pharmacy may carry, at any given time, depends on what company was offering the cheapest price, at the time they needed to restock their supply. The FDA warns that this medication carries 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 ...

What is it?It's a white pill with tcl363 ## Hi Chick, I haven't found an exact match to your pill, but based on your description, I believe the manufacturer is Time-Cap Labs, Inc. All of their tablets have a "TCL" imprint followed by a three digit number. However, in this case you may want to contact them directly regarding your inquiry, since they do not list any pills that specifically have a "363" number. For product inquiries, you can reach Time-Cap Labs customer service at: [email protected] I hope this info helps! Where did you happen to find this pill at? ## I know without doubt; it's an over the counter caffeine pill. The reason I know this is because I buy them alot. ## It's a 200 mg stay awake caffeine pill from rite aid stores. I have purch...

Hi im having fever.. N took pacofen this morning. Is pacofen safe for breastfeeding and can i continue my breastfeeding regime..?will the medcine be pass to my baby..?? ## Hello, Fudge! How are you? Congratulations on your baby! There are some rare cases where some risk can be associated with taking the Codeine, while breastfeeding, but in most cases, it is considered safe. 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. However, it would be best to inform your pediatrician that you took it and, in the future, if you're only treating a fever, you may just want to ask your doctor about taking Paracetamol by itself. Is there anything el...

Oxycodone or Oxycontin is this time released? Or immediate release? ## There are no generic formulations available of Oxycontin, there are only generics available of the instant release and the regular release. Additionally, the instant release is only available in 5mg capsules. Thus, if you have a tablet that does not have the OP marking and it is from the U.S., then it is fairly safe to assume that's most likely a regular release tablet. This one is a generic for Roxicodone, which is a name brand for the regular release formulation and it contains 20mgs of Oxycodone. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Where did you find it? ## Verwon, I was reading your response to Kiki, and I have a question for you. What is the difference between Oxycodone and Oxycotin? ## Hi Susie, I sort of st...

Have been using opiets for over 35 years. Started with auto accident. Doctor prescribed over a long period then passed away. Was addicted and had to purchase illegally locally.

I have bad pain and the doctor prescribe oxycodone 30 mg 90 tablets no one will fill them. I am in California ## Hello, Maggie! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem that you're having. How are you checking with the pharmacies? In order to get an accurate answer, you actually need to physically go to the pharmacies, with your prescription in hand. If you just call, they have no way of knowing if the person on the phone is a legitimate customer with a need, or a potential thief. 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 know of any pharmacies in CA that carry them? ## Please help !! I have alot of pain and I can't find a Pharmacy to f...
