Had a Septoplasty and bil submucous resection turbinates today; was given a rx for this pain med and had it filled at CVS. I don't take pain medications in daily life. It has not effect at all...it's not that it is not strong enough...it just does nothing. I'm not allowed to take an NSAID or Tyl OTC so needless to day I'm miserable tonight. Why would this medication be impotent? Could it be a plcebo? Thanks a'bunch ## Hi Mary, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It's odd that this pain killer didn't work for you. Do you know if it is a generic? I do know that the FDA permits generic formulas to vary by as much as 20% from the active ingredients in brand formulas. My only other guess is that you could've gotten a bad batch or your body just isn...

I only ask cause I never dabbled that far and believe my loved one may have (perhaps not), but it's all so scary to me as a pill addict myself I want to know what to stay clear of. I want to live. She was quite innocent and in denial so it's so hard to imagine lord willing, I'm wrong. Better safe than sorry is my theory, god bless. ## Lisa, That's a very good question as Morphine is a very powerful opiate reserved for the treatment of severe pain. It has several routes of administration. Recreational or opiate naive patients can overdose and die at relatively low doses especially if taken with other cns depressants. You mentioned you were a pill addict, not to pass judgement but many morphine related od's result from pills (especially er). When used as directed morph...

Root canal Friday 55 miles from home. No pain medicine given for home. When deadening wore off, this 64 year old was crying. I have Tramadol whis I take 3 a day for spinalstenosis. So my only thought was to take 2 every 6 hrs and no more than 4. It did not cut the pain. I also found Tylenol 3 in cabinet with 150 written on it. Which and how much should I take. This is July 4th and I doubt we have a pharmacy open in this rural town. The Tramadol just barely takes edge off of pain. ## Hi Glenda, Sorry to hear about your situation. I realize it's weeks past the 4th of July at this point, so I can only hope that you got everything worked out ok. I just wanted to add that legally, only your prescribing doctor or pharmacist can advise you on what and how much to take of a pharmaceutical c...

I just moved here from Cali and am in desperate need of pain management Doctor. I was on 10mg Norco, 4 - 5 times a day. Looking for a Doctor than can compare in terms of helping. Can travel. Please, help. **Reston, VA here. But can travel to DC or MD** ## Percocet (Oxycodone) Vicodin (Hydrocodone) If you know any doctors who can help, let me know ASAP, please. ## Well, the first thing you need to know is that it isn't wise to go to any new doctor and ask for any specific medication, because most of them will see that as being drug seeking behavior and they will just refuse to see you or tell you they don't prescribe such things. The best thing you can do is find a new doctor and make sure that they get a full copy of your medical records, so they can see what medications have an...

I have been taking hydrocodone 10-325 for over a year and my dr ordered a drug test that came back showing no opiates in my system. How is that possible? ## Did you run out? The problem with opiates they leave your system in three days it sucks, while weed takes a month damn near. ## If you are taking an ER as well, good chance the breakthrough WONT show...although hydrocodone is the only one quaranteed to show. The other poster is correct in that after 3 days, good luck! ## Will tramadol/ultram show up on a drug sweat patch?

Freind is getting roxy 20s this morn, but I've never heard of them..... Do they exist? ## The 20mg Oxycodone is only available in the time released formulation that's sold under the name brand Oxycontin. Learn more Oxycodone details here. My information is only relevant to the U.S., but here there is no regular or instant release available in 20mgs. Are there any other questions? ## Thank you....she turned out to be full of it, they were roxys, but they were only 10mg...she was trying to get $10 each.... I was fine with that if they was 20s, but not 10 for 10 and she knew that so she tried to say they were 20s.....

I have to do a blood test and need to have it in my blood. I have never taken the prescribed amount because of the addiction potential. Now I have a blood test and haven't taken it in 3 days even though my pain has been very severe. I don't really want to take it but need it in my blood. How long does it show in blood and what would show if I took a shot prior to my blood draw? ## Bob, That's impossible to answer without an exact route of administration, dosage and health condition. Peak plasma rates vary as to the aforementioned.

I take generic Norco: hydrocodone -acetaminophen 10-325 TB. Which works fine. However for a month, I took hydrocodone -acetaminophen-325 (no TB mentioned anyhere). Miserable. Did not work as well and was in tears. Are these the same generic ingredients in both meds? Or should I insist on "TB" since the generic norco refers to hydrocodone -acetaminophen 10-325 TB. ## Hello, Mickie! How are you? Sorry that you were in pain. But the TB just stands for tablet, that's all that it specifies, so there was nothing different between the two. Without knowing the markings on the tablets or the manufacturers, I have no way of knowing if you were ever taking a different generic, or if it's always been the same one. Can you check with your pharmacy and post back? Thanks! ## Is availab...

does not work.what did they do? my 12/01/15 worked fairly well. my 1-12-17 is useless and side effects are worse. why can't they make them like watson did. mfg actavis is a joke. i started norco 20 years ago. now i've ended up with this no good mess. ## Henry, Sadly that's the general consensus. Have you considered checking other pharmacies since each are free to use a wide variety of generic mfg. companies? Perhaps you may find one better suited to your needs.

I was taking 3 10 mg oxycontin a day along with 8 norcos 10/325. I have been given oxycontin 20 mg three times a day to replace the 10 mg oxy and the vicodins. Is this enough to assure no wd from going totally off the vicodin or do I need a higher dose of oxy to cover it. I am not sure of the conversion from the vicodin to the oxy. Remember I was originally on the 10 mg oxys three times a day along with the vic. Thanks. ## Nancy, Without benefit of your dx's:,history or rx usage it would be impossible to predict if this transition will suffice.If your prescriber has full knowledge of your entire treatment history id have confidence that his decision is medically sound and will starve off any Withdrawl symptoms.As a chronic pain patient I do best with an extended release (OxyContin )...

I have been trying to find out how long oxycodone will stay in your body after taking 5 mg four times a day for 8 months? ## Hello, Poppy! How are you? It takes approximately 16 to 20 hours. The NIH 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? ## According to this site's half life calculator, Oxycodone has a half life of around 4 hours, so within about 24 hours a single dose should be at a concentration of about 1.56% in your system. Since you've been taking it 4 times per day for 8 months, it has been maintaining a steady state in your body, meaning that it may take longer than what I have listed above. More info: Oxycodone ...

I suffer from cervical stenosis and severe back pain that may require surgery. I am also suffering from a mental illness/deep depression/anxiety. I take several meds for the latter. I had been prescribed hydrocodone 5/325 every six hours, and that worked great for my pain, and I didn't sleepy. Now since changing Pain Mgmt Specialist, he prescribes OxyContin 10mg 2x a day, and this makes me so sleepy, especially with all of my other medications. This new doctor said hydrocodone was not good to take with my mental illness, but he gives me OxyContin? I don't get it, clearly the OxyContin is worse for me if I'm sleepy all the time, at least I could function and stay awake on hydrocodone. I don't know what to do, my physiatrist has even written a letter stating the hydrocodon...

i am alergic to morphine and my doctor just put me on oxymorphone. he said i would be ok. does anyone know anything about this whether i will be ok with oxymorphone. i haven't taken any yet don't pick them till tomorrow. thanks. ## Hello, Rosco! How are you? It is an opiate, but not the same as Morphine. However, when someone is allergic to one medication, there is always a risk that they will discover more that they're allergic to, but the only thing you can do is try it and see. 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.

I need help finding a doctor in my area who will prescribe pain medication. I live in lower bucks county in Bensalem. I've been searching on and off for 2 yrs but now my pain is just way over the top. They have me taking Tramadol 8 a day which at this point is an absolute joke. My family doctors is NO help whatsoever and won't even write my anxiety meds which I have been off for 2 yrs as well now. I have done and seen everything the doctor has asked for 2 yrs and still at the same point if not worse now since the only things given for pain and anxiety are the Tramadol and vistiral (not sure of spelling) again they are both a joke. I just had it out with my family doctor yesterday when I had a visit for blood work and follow up for meds. He basically said I can't do anything ...

Using a small amount of marijuana, maybe 2 to 3 times in a week but stopping by 4/21 and only taking one Norco today, I have a drug test for my doctor on 5/9. Urine tests only for base line. This is for a new doctor. Need to get some idea. I am 60yrs old and do some housework, drink water and soda. Please help. ## How long does it take marijuana (THC) to get out of the system of someone 100 pounds overweight?
