Hello, my doctor recently changed my dose of morphine to 30mg, but I still have 15mg tablets left. Can i take 2 to equal 30 until they're gone, then start my 30mg pills? ## Yes, there shouldn't be any problem with doing that. 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 with?

studients reference ## Imol contains Ibuprofen and Paracetamol and the Imol Plus contains both of those and Caffeine, these are both commonly used to treat pain and migraine headaches. Side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, insomnia and stomach irritation. Learn more: Voveran contains the active ingredient Diclofenac, it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and stomach irritation. Learn more: Meftal Forte contains Paracetamol and Mefanemic Acid, it is also listed as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so the side effects are similar to what I have already listed above for the Diclofenac. And the Dolo 650 just contains the active ingredient Paracetamol. Are there any other comm...

Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone Bitartrate - how long does it stay in you urine please? ## Approximately 48 to 72 hours, after you have last taken it. Precise time can vary, depending on how long someone has been using it and how much of an amount they have been taking. If you have a prescription for it, then all you have to do is inform them of this, when you go to have a test done. They cannot deny you the use of medications prescribed by your doctor. ## I took three of acetaminophen and hydrocodone bitartrate in one day will it be out of my system by april 19 please email me ## It _should_ be out of your system by the 19th of April, as long as you don't take any more - As Verwon said, 48-72 hours is pretty standard, so I'm just saying that you shouldn't take any more until ...

hi ive been on a norspan patch (15mg) for some months. methadone tablets before that for some yrs post lower back fusion, S1-L5 in 2003. the norspan patch has not covered the pain control so my specialist ordered an MRI and now I have a protruding disc at L4. this was to be expected I was told due to the extra workload on my lower back. I have been given the fentanyl patch and told that it will be increasing next visit but I was not told to just stop the norspan or ween off slowly? Due to constant itching on the norspan Im coming off at 5mg/week anyway but not sure if now I should just take patch off and be done with it? I do not want to if possible go thru to many withdrawal symptoms? Thanks for any answers ## I am in a similar situation. Have been taking norspan 20mg for over 12 month...

I have a white 30mg oxycodone pill with an imprint of rp 30. Are they just as effective as the other smaller oxycodone thirties that I am used to getting? ## Have you tried taking it, yet?

I have been on two 60mg Ms contin, with 15 mg morphine ir 4x a day. It's not working as well since my surgery. Now I have changed to two 60mg Ms contin with 10 mg oxycodone 3x a day. Will this combination work better and last longer? ## Have you tried taking the new combination, yet? The only way to discover if it will work better for you is by actually trying it.

Following Rotary Cuff surgery, my husband was given Oxycodone 5-325. Some of the things he experienced were nausea, vomiting and heartburn, in addition to extreme constipation. After drinking massive amounts of water, suffering, discomfort, etc., it took a Linzess capsule, and two large doses of Milk of Magnesia before he finally was able empty his bowels the next morning following extreme discomfort. I was prepared to have to go back to the hospital, but THANK THE LORD, he finally got relief. The on call person allowed us to change to Hydrocodone 7-325; he had taken a few of those until the cortisone shot took effect while being scheduled for surgery. He did not experience a problem with the Hydrocodone, even though I’m sure it can be bad as well. He has not had a pain pill of an...

Have been on 240 mg morphine sulphate per day for 6 yrs and of course is not doing as best as it used to for me to function in my daily life. I want to ask for a conversion to an oxycodone type med since I have been accumulated to that before..I have the back syndrome of HANDS OFF by every doc since 2004 to present. I need to keep myself on a productive path as I'm on now. What equivalent of oxycodone is at my present dose please? Thank you. ## Hello, River! How are you? Oxycodone is approximately 1 and a half times stronger than Morphine, so you'd only need 160mgs of it each day. Have you discussed the issue with your current doctor? How long has it been since you've taking Oxycodone? ## I just posted a link which gives information regarding what medication is equivalent to...

Due to present eligibility to medicare, finding a drug plan to cover oxycontin is a real problem. The amount does not appear to be the problem but the brand\type is. Any idea what I could switch to ? Currently take four 60mg per day along with oxy IR 20mg for those sudden pain spikes. ## There is no generic for Oxycontin, which could be why they don't want to cover it. However, there are other options that are available as generics, such as MS Contin, Opana ER, Zohydro, and Fentanyl. The FDA warns that all of these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Those are just a couple of the options you could ask your doctor about trying. Does anyone else have any suggestions to add?

I really would like to know if Tramadol shows up as a false positive for buprenorphine? ## Does ultram show up in a urine drug test a false positive for suboxone ? Bv ## I actually had a drug done today and in the past while taking tramadol and shockingly all times the tramadol will show a positive for suboxone. There's no way i could of tested positive for that when I've never touched that med.

I have been taking Percocet in different doses shapes & sizes for the past 15 years. With APP & without...

Just stop Taking them and talk to your doctor. You will head in time. ## Spasmo Proxyvon contains Acetaminophen, Dicyclomine and Propoxyphene. Propoxyphene has been pulled from the market in many countries, due to the adverse effects it has on the heart. An addiction can be a serious problem, since the Propoxyphene is a narcotic. How much have you been taking? Also, what country are you in? This may help me discover what treatment options are available for you. Learn more Propoxyphene details here.

I'm on 10 mg endocet 4x a day but it's prescribed as 4x daily as needed. I just need to know if that means that I don't have to take them 4x a day if I'm feeling ok? ## Yes, that's exactly what it means, if there are times you don't need a dose, you don't have to take one, until you do.

Doctors who are willing to prescribe pain medication in Cleveland Ohio ## Hello, Anna! How are you? Unfortunately, with the stricter regulations that were put in place last year, most doctors are going to be very reluctant to prescribe controlled substances on a long-term ongoing basis for an uninsured patient. The reason being that it makes it much easier for someone to doctor and pharmacy hop. If you did get a doctor to prescribe, most pharmacies won't fill them for cash paying patients, anymore, due to the pharmacy hopping reason. It's far harder to control and keep track of the prescriptions of someone that's paying cash, as opposed to someone with insurance. Do you have a PCP that you see regularly? If so, they might be able to refer you to someone that can help. Can an...

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. Did your doctor suggest this change? ## Hydrmorhone is duladid correct or incorrect, and what is oxymorphone? ## Matthew, Yes, hydromorphone is Dilaudid while oxymorphone is better known under the brand name Opana.Both are very potent opiods that carry a...

I'm 63 and have been with a pain management Dr for 12 yrs, due to many diagnoses of pain issues. Took my Dr's advice and I have been trying many things. Finally we got two meds ms coton 60mg and roxicondone for breakthrough pain. It finally started helping me and my husband and I have moved to southwestern MO, and can't even see a Dr for 4 months. And I don't even know what will happen. I came very close to death last year in March, my husband was told I would not make it thru the night. But I lived and no one said anything about my two pain meds bcuz I take them properly and have never abused my meds. A Dr put me on these meds, now just because people that should not even have it, get it, don't follow directions, and over dose. Well so can alcohol and over the count...
