The results of a blood test were 100 nanograms per millilliter of morphine.I took a 100mg ms cotin pill about 4 0r 5 hours before the test.Does this seem normal? ## Hi Scott, Although I'm not too familiar with terminology associated with blood test results, I did find that Morphine can be detected in your blood for up to 12 hours after your last dose. If this timing has any correlation with the figures you mentioned above, then it does make sense that this would be a normal reading 5 hours into your dose. I hope this helps! ## 5 days at the most depending, on your age because as you get older your metabolism slows down, for me I'm 22 ad it stayed in my system for two days. ## dude really? hes talking about blood...Im sure you must be talking about a urine test.

I take methadone but need to know if tramadol will show up in a urine test given by DOC? ## My tramadol showed up as methadone. Crazy. Almost cut me off of my meds. Retest showed negative. ## Yes I agree, I'm pretty sure it shows up as methadone. I took a drug test for the suboxone dr. She said I had methadone in my system. I've never taken methadone a day in my life but I did take tramadol. So I think you're right it shows up as methadone.

As of May 1, my PCP will no longer treat chronic pain. I developed rsd/crps several years ago after surgery. I was referred to a pain clinic; PT; several modalities. Finally got pain manageable with Fentanyl Patches and Hydrocodone. Multiple weaning attempts, but pain was too much. Almost 2 years ago, I was able to wean off of the patches. So now, just using hydrocodone. It keeps pain tolerable most days. I am awake, alert and fully functional. I take 20 mg four times a day. As a critical care and hospice nurse for 30+ years, I know risks and ramifications. I also know I CANNOT tolerate 24/7/365 pain. I just need someone who will continue the regimen that has worked for me for years. I have done it all; biofeedback, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, etc.. I am on full term disability du...

its white it says m367on one side on the other side it has a line in the middle like u could snap it in half and its suppose to be 10-325 norco. never seen this ## Yes, this contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, the generic for Norco. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Read more here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## I snap them in half to control the nausea and pain, but it also keeps my head in check. These are very dangerous as 367 are real s***. Addictive... Sometimes I need both halves. But Sometimes you don't... If you can average one half not being taken for a day out of a 3 day pain regiment, there is still hope. Not to mention when it's bad and I need the pain relief, breaking it in half seems...

The millions of pain patients who rely on pain meds to get through their day without horrible pain are out of luck. Doctors are under threat of imprisonment and pharmacy's are being told they will be audited if they fill any scripts. This is a horrible situation for legitimate pain patients. Now they will all be looking on the streets and many will die from the illicit drugs going around. People hooked on painkillers should research Ibogaine. People in daily pain will need to find a doctor to prescribe the proper type of marijuana to treat their pain.

I have no insurance and want to find a doctor that can help with my pain. Since I have no insurance I want to make sure the doctor I go to can help before paying out of pocket. I've been on tramadol and 3 different anti inflammatorys and none have helped at all. ## I have chronic pain and have a lot of trouble getting anyone to prescribe my pain medication for me in Abilene, tx. Any suggestions?

I am prescribed hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5-500 for neuropathy and fibromyalgia. I'm allowed 30 pills per month, but they just weren't helping at all lately. I remember the pills looking different this time, but that's sometimes the case with generics. I looked again and they have 44 175 printed on them. I have used the same Walgreens for three years now, and started having issues, only with this prescription. I took a printed prescription from my doctor with *6* refills. When I picked it up, there were NO refills on the bottle. I called and they fixed it right away, but now I don't know what is in the bottle. Are they only acetaminophen? Is this why I have had no pain relief? ## Hi Sher, It looks like they really did mess up on your prescription, since this particular i...

I was placed on Lyrica only a few months ago (only 75mg) Did it help my pain from nerve damage? yes it did. However, I have been experiencing acute problems with my teeth...the latest...yellow teeth and several turning green...i swear...been crying for hours...also enamel on front teeth almost destroyed. I am aware of the dry mouth warning, but there's no excuse for this. If you are thinking of this med. do more research, PLEASE. The blogs are everywhere.... ## Thank you Cheryl! I'm not crazy. I was on Lyrica for almost a year. Every other month I'd brake a molar or a tooth. I didn't know what was going on. The worst part is that I spent thousands of dollars on jaw surgery and braces (as an adult) and all that work has gone down the drain. I now need dentures. Great! I t...

Does Bencoprim/Ciclobenzaprina have codeine as an ingredient? Can I take Bencoprim with Lisin/HCTZ? ## No, Bencoprim doesn't contain Codeine or any type of narcotic, the active ingredient in it is Cyclobenazaprine, which is a muscle relaxant. It may cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, headache and dizziness. More details: There are no interactions listed, between it and the Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiazide, but you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. Are there any other questions? ## should you drive while taking this drug ## should i drive while taking bencoprim ciclobenzaprina ## Can I take one pill tonight for pain and drive my car tomorrow morning?

My brother in law is living on about $500 a month, as a disabled vet. I am a social worker, partnering with an MD. My partner prescribed him meds, but he can't pay the pharmacy. Some companies have an indigent policy, does this one? ## Yes, there are actually two programs that help with Nucynta for those that don't have insurance. One is through Johnson & Johnson, you can reach them for program details and an application at 800-652-6227. And the other is through Together RX Access and they can be reached at 800-444-4106. Learn more Nucynta details here. Can you let me know if either one helps? ## Vernon, Thank you. I will get back to you tomorrow. Sincerely, Barry ## My brother, you better run from that drug Nucynta. You sound like one of those who honestly need pain medicat...

I used to wear fentanyl patches myself 100 mcg. There are two things you should be aware of. The generic brand (as opposed to brand name Duragesic) has been associated with varying inconsistencies. While brand name drug and generics have to be equals in their chemical make-up as mandated by the FDA, the delivery system does not. So please, ask your doc. This drug is ALL about the delivery membrane. Secondly, if you want to spend any time in the sun for any good length of time, you will begin to feel signs of overdose and/or low blood sugar because you will release the drug too rapidly. Because of this, you may feel withdrawal before your three days are up. Also, for good adhesion, try covering your patch with a product called Tegaderm. It might be kind of hard to find but your pharmacy ...

I have periphial neuropathy my feet hurt all the time nonstop. A friend talked me into trying a few(4) puffs of marijuana and it stopped the pain completely. I live in alabama so it is ilegal. Is there a medication made from it that is legal here? ## Hi Gene, You might be thinking of Cannabidiol (more commonly know as CBD). This aspect of the marijuana plant is legal across all 50 states and has been proven to be useful for pain management without the "high" that comes with THC (another component of the plant/buds). Your best bet would probably be to search online for it, as I noticed several places that have it available. A close family member of mine is actually taking a 50/50 THC/CBD concentrated spray that helps with her nerve pain. I realize you can't get the THC legall...

Hi there, i did a urine drug test last night, after taking a myprodol 5 hours before the test. The test was positive for opiates - heroin. I have not touched any herion, and would like to know if the codeine in the myprodol can cause a positive result for opiates??? Thanks ## Codeine is an opiate narcotic analgesic and if they used an inexpensive, non-certified test, false positives from one opiate are fairly common. Are there any other questions or comments? ## My daughter took suncodin and myprodol tues.night and wed and was tested wed night and thurs morning and.both test came positive for heroin?is that becos of the codeine in.both tab ## How long does a single dose on one myprodol take to leave your system?

My dose is 16 caps per day and now i want to quit it, but i failed to do so. Please suggest the best solution to quit as i dont want to go to rehab for it will kill my family. ## Hello everyone i was just going through these posts and I thought I should share my experience here. I was addicted to a combination of substances, namely phensedyl , corex, spasmoproxyvon, tramadol, nitrosun, cannabis and relipen for over a period of 15yrs . At one point this addiction led to me possibly having to lose my job and also having to leave the country as I was abroad. This was when I just stopped it one day stopped taking everything I could not sleep and my legs hurt a lot for 1-2 weeks it was the most painful experience I have ever had in my life but I just bit my teeth and went through it, and the...

What and Where is this OCH place they talk about. I see a lot of posts are 3 to 5 years old. Anything current? My husband has been in chronic pain for years and they keep taking MRI's and scans....we really have no clear answer on teh results except they look good!! Then why is he in hellish pain all the time? We have gone to 2 pain management clinics and neither one prescribes pain meds and you have to wait 3 to 6 weeks for an injection appointment! What is he to do in the mean time...just suffer? ## Those are older posts and there are no simple answers except to say things are only becoming more restrictive without tangible documentation of a condition (i.e.;mri,cat scan, Xray) most General practioners are extreamly hesitent to prescribe opiate like narcotics.

Is there a oxycodone or endocet 10/325 mg white round ,with the only markings of 44 over 104? There were 8 in my mom's prescription of 120, they didn't match the rest. ## Hello, Sunshine! How are you? No, the tablet with the 44 over 104 is an over the counter product, it contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness and headache. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Verwon is right, they are over the counter, not oxycodone. ## They may be oxycodone 5 mg but there's also Tylenol with the same imprint... or I should say was, but they have been discontinued. ## I have a question found a pill in my drive way with 44 on top n 104 on the bottom could some one please tell me Wat it is

the cost has increased from 400/month to 8000/month... what can we do. ## For what its' worth, Sentynl, the new levorphanol "owner" has a patient assistant cost program, a $5.00 co-pay card for non-CMS folks and the site says please call them to problem-solve patient cost issues.

I've been on oxycodone 30's (120) and (240) methadone 10mg for 10 years, then out of nowhere they cut my meds in half. It was the worst time ever to punish me for not going in for an MRI on my back. They have other MRIs from me but I was passing a kidney stone at the time and had Lyme disease messing with every part of my body and brain... Eyes & muscles twitching along with 24/7 joint pain. It was so extreme to mess my body and mind up with awful withdrawals. I wasn't diagnosed with Lyme disease till a year later. Half my vision's gone and I can barely walk in a mall for no more than 10-15 minutes. I find it hard standing to cook or do dishes, as my back goes totally berserk. It's more painful to lie down on my new bed than to sit up and roll my back in downward...

I had my knee surgery yesterday and am on hydrocodone 10/325. It manages pain pretty well but it seems to make me itch. I plan to call the Dr, but would like to know an equivalent pain medicine that I may tolerate better for this? Not taking it or not taking it as often results in significant increase in pain. ## Hello, Kalisnick! How are you? Percocet might be an alternative that you can try. It contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone. 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. Do you have hives with the itching or are you just feeling itchy? If there are no hives, then it may be just a side effect that will eventually go away, as your...
