Pain Relief Forums (Page 36)

Please do not waste your funds on these pills IP/204.They do not,I repeat they DO NOT WORK.I've never posted on any of these forums but it upsets me that I've wasted my money and I don't want anyone else to go through what I'm going through,still in much pain with no help at all. ## Hello, Ashley! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you've had. These tablets contain 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. This is 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. However, there can be slight fluctuations from one generic medication to another, so this one might be slightly lower than the ones you're used to taking, which could explai...

Lyrica Has Seriously Impaired My Mind And Damaged My Parotid Gland. After only 2 and 1/2 weeks on it (for neurogenic pain and spasms from spine injuries lumbar spine and cervical spine): First day after taking it, "buzzing electrical nerve symptoms" some better, but pain was still very much there. Dizzy, stumbling... Dizziness decreased after a few days (never stopped, always present when first arising from sleep). During those 2 and 1/2 weeks that I took Lyrica, I have gained 10 lbs (have not lost it) had extreme dry mouth (still dryer than pre-Lyrica), got tangled up, as in "lost" in my clothes when dressing, tangled in my seat belt when getting in and out of car and tangled in my purse straps ... all the time... Was (still am) constantly reversing words (I say "up...

I have just started this medication for acute jaw nerve pain. i have just read all about it. sounds like a terrible drug with weight gain, depresion, etc. can you give me more details please. i am already on citilapram 30mgs a day ## Hello, Jacky! How are you? Yes, there is a risk of such side effects with it, but the thing you have to be aware of is that not everyone experiences them. Some people may run the gamut of all the side effects, but others may not have any. It all depends on you and your body. Do you normally experience a lot of them? ## I have been taking Lyrica for several months now and currently at 200mg a day. I have had some weight gain (aprox 10-15lbs) but the worst parts are the memory loss.. stupid stuff like word finding that should be simple and is just gone! Anoth...

I have spent about 25K on restoration, with another 25K to complete. Seriously, every dentist thought I was a Meth-Addict. Like you, my teeth were like empty egg-shells. Whenever the dentist started drilling, he said they would just explode. Are you going after Pfizer? I would, if I could find the right Attorney. Let me know...

Hi everyone, Lyrica is still new out there, and it seems that most ppl have more questions than answers. Well I can tell you from my experience, that lyrica takes about 1-2 months to kick in and work. Got to have some paitence and be careful when taking it. Yes your primary or pain management doctors will tell you to take so many a day depending on the dose and what he can gather up on the info your telling him. See he only prescribes you on the info you telling him. So from my experience im warning you to keep with precautions. I only take so many per day, with depending on how I'm feeling. For example, my pain management doctor will tell me to take 3 100mg caps of lyrica per day, but 1 of them just fits me fine. I took 3 of them my 2nd day and OD on them and it sent me to the hosp...

I was prescribed hydrocode 10/325 by my md. I was getting yellow pills.now I'm getting pills that i believe are from mallinckrodt the hotel says manufacturing company is MLKCM. My concern is that this MLKCM brand make me feel ill. It causes heart palpitations, increased bowel movements, and it does not help the pain as well add the other. Is this mallinckrodt and had anyone else had these symptoms with this brand? Thank you so much for any help you can give on info with this brand ## Hello, Dar! How are you? Sorry about the problems that you're having. What are the markings on the pills in question? I really can't provide you with any information on them, without knowing that. Sometimes the manufacturer listed by the pharmacy is actually just a licensed distributor and not t...

Its almost a very light light violet or light purple pill with TEC on it, the same as a white oxycodone, is it more powerfull? ## Unknown pill - found in teen's room: I found 6 oblong, white pills. They are plain on one side and TEC l on the other side. Can you please tell me what these are? ## I got some white oblong pills rounded at each end from Canada with "TEC I" being the only writing on one side & these you can buy over the counter for light pain. They are 300mg acetaminophen + 7mg caffeine + 15mg codeine; although I might be wrong on the milligrams.

One side has the number 325 inscribed. The other side has a capital N surrounded by a straight line beneath and along each side of the N. The lines continue over the top of the N and come together to form a point. So it has the appearance that the N is in a house with a pitched roof. The N and its surround are inscribed. The tablet is not scored. ## I can't be sure about this because I have not actually seen a picture, but based on a similar inscription of 325 (but without the N) on a white tablet, that one was Aspirin 325 mg. But I'm not 100 % sure so if you don't know what it is, i would not take it! ## One side has nothing on it and the other side got L4 85 other side blank

My friend came across some pills in a friend of hers purse, and we cannot figure out what they are. Her friend said that they were Lortabs, but I have never seen a Lortab that looked like this. It is shaped just like a Lortab, but it has the numbers 93-490 just like that on it, and no pill cutter. If any one has an idea of what it is I would greatly appreciate your help. ## This tablet contains Acetaminophen 650 mg + Propoxyphene Napsylate 100 mg (NDC 67296-0378). Inactive Ingredients: - Castor Oil - Colloidal Silicon Dioxide - Hypromelloses - Magnesium Stearate - Cellulose, Microcrystalline - Povidone - Starch, Corn - Stearic Acid - Crospovidone Ref: DailyMed ## I found a white pill with 93-490 numbers on it and have no idea what it is, I have tried searching and searching to find out...

Round yellowish/gold pill with a M in a square around it on 1 side, and 505 on the other (I think). What is this? I was told it was a Percocet 40. ## A round yellow tablet marked [M] inside a box on one side and 595 on the other side is Oxycodone Hydrochloride Extended Release 40 mg (NDC 00406-0595). The difference between Percocet and this is that Percocet also contains Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Manufacturer: Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Hope this helps! ## The closest match I could locate is a pill imprinted with "M" on one side (not in a box) and "505" on the other. It is also a white pill and not yellowish/gold as you described. This pill is identified as Bisoprolol fumarate (10mg) + hydrochlorothiazide (6.25 mg); which is used to treat high blood pressure. I'm t...

Dad stage 4 lung cancer has been rho for long time, just got prescription and it is kvk. Totally different size and color. He has a lot of pain, do they work the same? Are they the same? Is one Better then other. They are both 20 mg, oxycodone. ## Hello, Diane! How is your dad doing? They are the same, just manufactured by different companies, which is normal with generic medications. 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Dr., wants him try an immune drug, or go hospice. My dad doesn't know what to do.

My doctor currently gives me roxicodone 30mg #360, Opana IR 10mg #180, Soma 350mg #120, and Xanax 2mg #90....the only problem now seems to be finding pharmacies willing to fill the oxy's. I was told by my pharmacy (cvc) that they now dont fill beyond 240. Anybody else have this problem in San Diego or know of a pharmacy that will honor the script? Or is this a new state-wide restriction I am unaware of? ## Hey Painman, I haven't heard anything about CVS, but it wouldn't surprise me, they've always been annoying when filling my scripts for the 30's in the past. I always found that Walgreens always had a huge supply of 30's, especially if near a hospital. IF you can't get 30's filled, I would go back to the doctor and have him split your script. Have him wr...

I am on methadone but have bad period pains. Does taking ibuprofen act with or against the methadone and will it affect the lab work that I have to submit? ## Unfortunately there is not much information out there on this topic, but I can tell you with absolute certainty from experience that you should not take ibuprofen or any NSAID with methadone ever. The problem is that it will knock the bonded methadone particles off of your blood proteins, thus raising the amount of freely available negative methadone in the blood stream, causing overdose risk for low dose users, and emptying your buffer for maintenance methadone users which will destabilize you making you feel withdrawal symptoms much sooner, and cause the buffer to have to rebuild over the course of a few days. If you need some o...

What is this pill? - Red, round with uppercase R on one side and 225 imprint on the other. Not scored. ## Two other related discussion threads here point to Tramadol being a match: 1) Red Pill 225 2) Red Pill Imprinted With 225 Post # 3 in the following thread surmises that a very similarly depicted pill is Tramadol 225mg slow-release: 3) Red Pill No Markings Scored I haven't been able to verify this finding myself, however, it is something to consider as a possibility. Have you thought about sending a pill to a lab for closer analysis? Or maybe getting a drug panel kit to see if opiates/opioids turn up in the results? ## Composition of Tapentadol Hcl “Tramadol” 125 mg and Carisoprodol “Soma” 100mg.

I found a white oblong pill imprinted with "601 dl" on my son's night table. What is it for? ## I believe you're looking at it upside down and the imprint is IP 109. If that is the case, this tablet contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Vicodin, which is a narcotic analgesic. Learn more Vicodin details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yes, that's what it is.

Clinics or doctors that will prescribe pain meds in Texas? My doctor retired and I'm having a hard time finding a doctor or clinic. If someone could please help me!? Thank you. ## I have lived in Texas for 15 years. I lost both of my legs, 1 of them 6 years ago, the other 3 years ago. My doctor is great. I was on 180 30 mg. I got off them 1 year ago but I know how it feels to be in pain. I know 2 or 3 pain doctors that are great, they are not pill pushers. If you have proof they will help you. So if anyone out there is in pain and lives in texas or can get here, they will help you. ## Looking for a Pain Management program in San Antonio, Texas area that will prescribe me pain medications for my injuries when i got hit by a vehicle while I was walking .

I believe it may be from another country. Possibly thailand or afghanistan ## Hi, Penny! Where did you find it? I'm sorry, but so far, I haven't been able to find anything. The main problem is that the databases are for U.S. approved medications, because most other countries don't regulate their pharmaceutical items as strictly as the FDA does here and they don't usually require unique imprints like the U.S. does. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? I'll keep looking and post back when I find something. ## Actually a friend gave it to me and said it was Tramadol. Im not sure if he got it in Afghanistan or Thailand. He says it"s 200 mg. But I don't want to to try something that I'm sure what it is. I do take tramadol. Not sure what to do. ## Hello penn...

I've been taking Norco 7.5 for over 2 years. I have severe degenerative disc disease and arthritis in my neck. In the beginning I took as prescribed by as most people it eventually took more to do the job. I am now highly addicted. I can and will take up to 10-15 per day if I have it. I want to stop. I have to. This has taken over my life. I've tried several tines on my own and I just can't. I'm wondering should I talk to my pain management doctor about this or where should I turn? I fear she will cut me off all together and I can't go through the withdrawals by myself. I'm thinking suboxone but don't know where to start with that. I live in a small town in Alabama and don't have a lot if choice where doctors are concerned. Where should I start? Who shoul...
