I have been taking 24mg Hydromorph Contin for 3 years now 2 x day This does not work anymore. I was prescribed 50mg Kadian every 24hrs. They take the edge off better but after 18 hrs the pain is worse than when the Hydromorphone started to wear off. Can I take a higher dose or what would be better? ## Only your medical professional can help you decide what is safe for you. The NIH warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. How often were you told to take it? What other medications have you tried? Have you discussed this issue with your doctor?

Have been taking this for 20 years and know what it's like and the pain and chills and vomiting from missing my tablet. I have vomited this morning in under 15 minutes of taking my morning dose. Should I take tablet again as I am afraid of pain and side effects setting in if I haven't kept it down with all the vomit. Anyone able to advise me please as it is Sunday morning and no go service to advise me or pharmacist either. Thank you

I went to my doctor who prescribes me percocets 10/325. He said I had opiates in my urine. Doesn't percocet 10/325 have an opiate in it? He tells me to come back next week. I'm in pain all the time as I dislocated my hip and had 5 hip replacements and slipped discs. ## Yes, it contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, and yes, the Oxycodone is an opiate. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and dry mouth. Are you on any other medications? Did he give you a copy of the results?

Found it in a medicine cabinet while looking for some pain meds. I'm sore all over. Can't hardly walk.. feels like me. Can anyone identify this pill? ## This medication is manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 65mgs of Propoxyphene, which is a mild narcotic analgesic that has been discontinued due to the risk it caused of cardiac toxicity, and the problems of overdose toxicity. 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. Have you consulted your doctor to see what would be safe to take? Are you on any other medications?

I found this pill in my home and I'm not sure what it is. Can someone please help me identity this medicine?

Hello Everyone! I will try to make this thread as short as I can. I got degenerative disc disease three years ago. I have been on Hydro 10/325 ever sense. Which worked wonders for me. I went to my Dr this week and found out i now have an elevated liver. Sign of to much Tylenol. I then went the next day to my PM Dr. and he prescribed me Norco. I told him about the elevated liver issue. Which i know I told him about. I called my PM Dr today and he said i did not tell him about the elevated liver. But, I have seen him for going almost 4 years. He RXed me Norco 10/325's. I thought that was odd but, trusted in him that he knew what he was doing. I had to take 3 Norco's that night and my pain never went away. Thankfully I still had 20 Hydros left from last month. I have researched on ...

Hello. I am a 31 year old woman who was diagnosed 5 years ago with Psoriasis and more recently Psoriatic Arthritis. In addition to taking Humira for this, I also have been prescribed Tramadol 50mg 3x a day. While this drug may not help a lot of you with your symptoms, it has done wonders for me in more ways than one! I would first like to say though that even thought my prescription is for 3x a day, I only take one first thing in the morning and it helps greatly with my pain! Now for my question. After taking this drug for a few weeks it has done something strange. I have had OCD for years and over time my compultions have just gotten worse and worse. Now after being on the Tramadol they seem to be much better! Has anyone else with OCD taking this medication had the same effects? I have...

If the pill is a white oval with P500 on one side and nothing on the other then it is (Equate extra strength pain reliever/fever reducer acetaminophen 500mg) I'm literally getting ready to take 2 of them after I'm done typing this. If it's a white oval pill that has "P" on one side and "500" on the opposite side then and ONLY THEN is it a ciprofloxacin... PLEASE if you're not 100% on what a medication is call your local ER (Emergency Room) and they will 9/10 let you know what it is rather than listen to people who are misleading and could VERY WELL get you or your loved one KILLED!!! ## Thank you for clarifying this pill's true identity. I think some people researching the topic also tend to get mixed up between this and a purple oblong/oval pill with...

Hi, i live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and i find that it is very difficult to the find a doctor in pain managemnt who will prescribe the right types of narcotics to effectively releave my chronic back pain. Any suggestions would be great. Thanx ## Well, my question for you is what is the scenario? Are you trying to ask them for specific medications? Because if you are, most doctors will be very resistant, as they are taught to see that as drug seeking behavior. When they do prescribe something, are you giving it a fair shot, before saying that it doesn't work? By this I mean, are you trying it for a month or so, to give it a chance to reach it's full effectiveness in your body? Have you cooperated in having any testing done that they want you to? ## I have been where you are and ca...
