I got a script of 50 tramadol on the 21st of April. When is a good time to get it refilled? I was to take one to two 3 times a day. ## Refill depends on the NUMBER OF TABLETS your original script called for divided by six. That's the number of days coverage you have beginning on April 21st. ## It can also depend on how the prescription was written. If it to be taken on an as needed basis, then your doctor may expect it to last longer than the division would imply. However, this is a controlled substance, since the FDA classifies it as an opioid, so your pharmacy won't let you get it filled too early. It is warned that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and dry mouth. Is there anything else I ca...

I have severe spinal stenosis and herniated disks with the MRI to prove it. I had a doctors prescribe me heavy opiods for 4 years before disappearing without notice. Every pain management doctor I've called or gone to will not write any scripts. They want to do injections, which I'm all for, but I have to wait two weeks for insurance approval and I'm in a ton of pain now. I cannot find a doctor to help me. I'm in Bergen County which is North Jersey. Can anyone please help?

I am just curious as how long this form of opiate is detectable in urinalysis, and or blood tests. ## It is detectable much longer in the blood or hair than it is in the urine, usually it is out of the urine in 48 hours or so. Do you have a prescription for it? ## I took a hydrocodone 5mg at 8am monday and passed at 10am wednesday. i might have a quick metabolism but i've never failed a drug test with opiates within 30 hours or so. ## how long is the shelf life of hydrocodone? ## If you have never failed a UA then if someone takes 1 hydro on Monday morning will they pass a urine test Thurs at 200 pm ## Can anything help with a urine drug screen result for hydrocodone 10 taken Friday night with a urine screen mo day afternoon? ## Took 4 10 mg IP 204 hydrocodone on sat at 330 pm and h...

would like to know how the pill look ## Hi tuffy, If you run a search on google images for "vicodin 5 500", you'll come across a number of photos that accurately depict the different shapes and colors that these particular pills come in. Most however, tend to be white and oblong shaped. Is there anything else I can help with? ## White oblong pill with last two numbers being 13(1/2 pill)? ## Received norco 487 is this just tylnoal long and white? ## I found white pill says p500 on one side what is it?

All Mallinckrodt brands & Qualitest brands of prescription only narcotic pain relievers need to be tested immediately only from the already shipped out from the manufacturer level from customers who have just walked out of the pharmacies with it so as to get a researchTRUE reading of he almost zero and possibly most likely 0 to 2 mg reading from a 10 mg pill. No it is not tolerance buildup nor abuse. It is plain outright fraud!! The internet is blowing up about it & I hope it goes viral on the internet with proof positive of what is going on. They changed Qualitest's "recipe" or formulation & it hit the shelves here in Virginia & cornered the market with contracts at EVERY PHARMACY in the area only using their non pain relieving brand!! We are truly suffering...

I snorted I don't know 5-10mg of opana in a two day period. I have to take random saliva test how long will it show up in saliva and urine too just out of curiosity? I've passed two test already so my system was completely clean prior to using. ## The saliva detection time is actually very short, usually only a day or so for most narcotics, in urine it can be detected longer, about 3 to 5 days, depending on how much you've been using and for how long. Are there any other comments or questions? ## how long does metadone stay in your saliva ## cainon25, the same general rules applies to Methadone, since it is also an opiate narcotic, it is usually detectable in a saliva test for 24 hours, after taking it, though this can vary slightly from person to person. Other factors can a...

I've been taking Tylenol 4 for a little while and I've noticed if I don't take my anxiety medication with it my body doesn't feel right I feel like it's on fire plus I'm very nervous. But when I would take hydrocodone 10-325 I wouldn't feel this way. I was wanting to ask is there a difference in hydrocodone and Tylenol 4? For me to feel so differently. ## Hello, Missy! How are you? Yes, they do contain different opiates. Tylenol 4 contains Acetaminophen and Codeine, but the other medication is a generic for Norco and it contains Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone. 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. And we are all different, so on to...

I was just given this med Oxycontin10mg twice a day by my dr for pain but I don't know how long until it starts working. I have Vicodin but I don't really know how much of it I should take to help with the pain. I have only taken one dose of the oxy ## Oxycontin is a time released formulation of Oxycodone and it will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes, after you take it, to start working. Then it is slowly released for approximately 12 hours. As to the Vicodin, you shouldn't take more of that than what your doctor, or pharmacist has instructed. It is generally one, every 4 to 6 hours, as needed. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My experience is that after 1 hour, the beginning effects are noticed. ## Yeah you won't get immediately relief and in my opinion much...

I supposedly tested positive for Fetanyl and Xanax on my first drug screen at my first appt. She says I wasn't under her care previously and she is not discharging me but I did not do either substances EVER. My pm doc prescribes Percocet 7.5 mg 3x a day. I also take Gabapentin, Zoloft, Buspar and Meloxicam and occasionally Trazodone and Flexeril. Not daily for those. I don't think it's likely that I tested positive for both of these substances and they sounded way TOO determined that I was guilty which didn't add up. I also have a 7 month old baby and only took pain meds for 2 days post C Section. After these major herniations + other issues I couldn't take the pain. Something was fishy sounding with how the girl that took my urine couldn't look me in the eye and...

manufacturers of the medication oxycodone ## Which formulation? There is a 30mg extended release, under the name brand Oxycontin, that is manufactured by Purdue. However, there is also a regular release 30mg formulation that is available under the name brand Roxocidone and as a generic, so it is available from several different manufacturers. ## What is the problem with the shortage on the 30mg oxycodones? I'm a cancer patient in desperate need of my meds and i have to suffer in pain because i can't locate 30mg oxycodones anywhere. My wife drove over a hundred miles trying to locate my medicine so i wouldn't hurt, this is rediculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ## Why is it so difficult to fill my 30 mg oxycodone for my pain due to cancer. My family had to drive 100 miles tryi...

I need a 40 mg oxycontin Er pill look alike. They are a light orange almost kinda yellow pill. Any suggestions would be very helpful. I understand the markings will be different and that is fine as long as the color is pretty much dead on. ## I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this, but I don't know who you're trying to fool by doing that. Unless you know of a quality counterfeit, there's really no such thing as a true look alike. The imprint on the pill doesn't lie and would be easily identified by a medical professional or someone who takes these types of pills on a regular basis. Not only that, but you could possibly be endangering the patient who's prescribed these by mixing them with something that they are allergic to or that isn't necessarily t...

Dilauded DOES NOT show up on a urine test. I've passed EVERY time. It does not break down into morphine. ## It shows up if they are testing for hydromorphone. ## Does it show up on a 10 panel? I've heard that the hydrocodones I take every so often could create a + result? Mine was a send out. Flipped out this could happen to me! ## So if I took dilaudid but have a script for hydrocodone will I pass my mouth swab ## I took bunch of dilaudid and i did not give a dirty urine for opiates, so I don't know why people are saying it shows up when it does not... ## Because they're not testing for it specifically ## dilaudid is hydromorphone in the morphone or morphine family , Hydrocodone is viccodin or codone from the codine family . they are all metabolized differently in your ...

I had a tooth pulled a few days ago and I turned down the pain meds, because I am a recovering addict and I am in an out patient rehab facility and I have to go in about every 2 days to do testing. When I woke up this morning the whole side of my face was swollen and I was/am in horrible pain. I have tried everything from ice packs, Tylenol, IBU, etc. Well my mom gave me one of her lyrica's for the pain and I have been staring at it for about 45 minutes deciding whether or not to take it because I have to check in with the rehab everyday to see if they call my color to come in for a drug test. And I really don't want to fail because if I do I lose everything all the way down to my kids. ## I was clean from every drug & had a drug test at the Pain clinic I'm going to ...

I need to know will my pain management test for 30mg of oxycodone be ok if I take two 5mg of oxycodone with Tylenol and one in the morning will my test be ok by the afternoon ## What will cause Positive drug test for opiates ## Ya u will test positive for opiates they don't test the amount and the one day is plenty of time for it to be in your system u should be all good ## You ran out early eh? And got some percs from a friend. LOL It will work if you don't take them the night before... If you ran out, you prolly went a day or so without them do your urine is screwed.

can you tell me if this medication is hydrocodone? it is an old prescription and I want to dispose of it properly ## Proper disposal isn't dependent on the type of medication, the FDA guidelines are the same for all prescription or over the counter medications. They recommend that you mix them in with some moist, undesirable substance, such as used cat litter or coffee grounds, place the mess into a sealed container and then put it into the trash. Alternatively, you can take them to any local pharmacy and they will gladly dispose of them for you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I found a white oval shaped pill and needing to know what it is. It's white oval shaped and has 334 on the front and blank on the back.

If you dye your hair on a monthly basis, will it affect the outcome of a hair drug test? Currently on a monthly script for Norco 10/325. ## A hair drug test is meant to show consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch sample, cut at the scalp line will go back 90 days. Hair dye won't effect the outcome of a hair drug test. When the lab gets the sample they run it thru a chemical wash that was off all external contaminants. The drug stays in the cortex. ## I took cocaine on march 12th, not a lot at all and I haven't taken any since then but I need to get a hair test done on Wednesday May 17th. Do u think I will be okay? I am going to bleach my hair tonight, then dye it back to a normal color and then get some shampoo from a smoke shop, what do u think? Please help. ## If that was the on...

I have been taking 15 mgs of oxycodone 5 times a day for 4 yrs, but they stopped working. Then I was taking dilaudid with 15 mg oxycodone. Still no help. Now I am taking Embeda 30-1.2 twice daily and Norco 10-325 4 times a day. Still in pain. What should I do? ## The next step is most likely Fentanyl, it is the most opiate available, it is in a patch form that is usually effective for 48 to 72 hours. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. It is something you can discuss with your doctor, anyway, to see if it is a viable option for you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I use to be on the fentanyl patch. It takes a day or 2 to get in your system but after that it ...

im cant find any drug stores taking new pain contracts in knoxville tn,if anyone has any info please email me ## HI, Wanda! Sorry about the problem that you're having. Do you have insurance? If so, then I'd suggest contacting them to see if they have a mail order pharmacy that you can use. That might make it easier to get your prescription filled. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Though they weren't being enforced for quite a long time, there are actually limits on how much of any controlled substance a pharmacy can order in and have in stock each month and earlier this year, the DEA started cracking down to enforce these limits. This has caused many pharmacies to have to refuse new customers for such medications, since once they are out each month, they are out and cannot...

have gone to every cvs around becayse i dont think i can go to d different pharmacy ## With a legitimate prescription, you can go to any pharmacy to get it filled, it doesn't have to be the same one that you had others filled at. It is perfectly fine to do so, as long as your aren't trying to get several prescriptions filled for the same medication. However, many areas are experiencing a shortage, right now, so you may still have trouble getting it filled. The best advice I can give is to talk to your doctor about an alternative medication that you can try, in the meantime. ## Donna Ratliff, a Florida advocate for people with pain who are having trouble getting their prescriptions filled, is planning a rally at the Florida Capitol in Tallahassee for September 10. She is raising ...
