I already take aspirin and plavix, which are blood thinners. Is Percocet a blood thinner? I need one for pulled quadricep pain. ## No, it is an opiate narcotic, as classified by the FDA. They warn that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. However, you should never take anything without your doctor's approval. Is there anything else I can help with?

Small town = pill abuses = impossible to get help for my endometriosis chronic pain. I am "green", totally new to searching for an online doctor that can prescribe the medication I am needing. I am searching for a first hand referral :) please I am irritable because of pain. ## Hi, I'm truly sorry your experiencing so much difficulty finding the relief you legit. NEED. From first hand expierence,The chances of finding a legitimate prescriber of opiat/opioid containing pain meds online is ZERO. The chances are slightly higher for obtaining a valid referal for a local pain management provider.What worked for me was meeting with a social services rep.at my local small town hospital's outreach department.They were able to schedule an appt. for me with a pain specialist ,when...

I have been on 8mg Dilaudid and 80mg hydrocodone for about 4 yrs. My doctor now changed me to Hysingla (hope that's right spelling). Anyways, they are 80mg, but had to change back because they didn't work as well. Now he's telling me that between the 2, I'm taking like 12 times the amount of the highest does of morphine given out and is now sending me to a pain doctor. Is that true? ## No, you are not taking 12 times the highest dose of Morphine, but you are exceeding the highest dose that the DEA recommends. They have issued directives that doses be limited to no more than the equivalent of 120mgs of Morphine, per day, some states have lowered it further to no more than the equivalent of 100mgs of Morphine, per day. You are currently taking roughly twice that. The only ...

That's just a line between M and 20, not a 1 (one). On the other side is either two cursive L's or J's, depending on what way you turn the pill. Are these Member Mark brand 500 MG acetaminophen from Sam's? ## This tablet is manufactured by ESI Lederle Generics and they list it as containing 750mgs of Methocarbamol, which is a muscle relaxant that is only available by prescription. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

After taking Norco 7.5/325 for 8 years, can you become immune to them? ## Yes, your body can become tolerant to any medication that you take in the same dosage for a long period of time, though the exact time span it occurs can vary from person to person, according to the NIH. Usually, such a situation requires a dosage change, or a switch to a different medication. 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.

If i just take one, will it make me go to sleep? or will i feel fine or out of it?? i dont wanna take it at the wrong time.. ## Dilaudid contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, which is a very potent narcotic.

My dr in a different city prescribed oxycodone 30 mg every six hrs. I cant get to him right now and am out of them. The er dr prescribed oxycodone 5mg with acetaminophen 325mg. Can i take two? ## You should only take the amount that the doctor has directed on the prescription. It could be dangerous to take too much of the Acetaminophen that's in them. 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. It is actually amazing that the ER prescribed any narcotic for you, as most usually refuse to do so, now. When can you get in to see your regular doctor? ## Pa, Well I highly doubt even doubling that dose will provide measurable relief.Since your original dose was six T...

Can I take lortab 7.5 with oxycodone 15? I am on a whole lot of meds for my knees, hips and back pain with nerve damage. So can I also combine these two meds together? ## You can, as long as your doctor has instructed you to do so. They are often prescribed together to enable better pain control. However, as reported by the FDA, you may experience more severe side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and drowsiness. Are you on any other medications?

I take 20 mg of oxycodone and 10 mg of oxycontin each twice a day for back pain. Are they the likely cause of the sleepy, drowsy, tired feeling that I experience much of each day? ## Yes, drowsiness, dizziness, and sedation are common side effects, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. How long have you been taking them? Side effects are typically transient and go away, with time, once your body gets to the medications.
