I had a Dr that was was suspended , SO STUPID!!! Now I am looking for a DR that will write for what I was on, Morphine 39 mgs 4x day and methadone 60 mg daily. He was going to up my meds at the next visit, but there was no next visit, I am desperate to find a Dr. I will go to NH if I have to, DOES ANYONE know of a clinc or Dr. in my area that is compassionate and gives aa crap about the patient in pain? My back is a mess, sciatica, frac.discs no cartiledge, spondilosis etc thanks ## Hello, Joanne! How are you? Sorry about the situation that you're in, that's terrible. Due to the new regulations that were put in place this year, you'll need to stick with a doctor in your home state, as well as using a pharmacy there. And unfortunately, there is no listing of doctors according...

I tried to be cute & see of I could stop taking my meds & gauge my pain levels without it for a week. Then I remembered I probably would be having a drug test this month at pain management. If I begin taking the oxycodone 4 days before my test, as prescribed, will my levels be as accurate as they would have if I had taken it every day for 5 months?

I took a ten panel pre employment drug screen ... It came up positive for high levels of prescription drugs she said. I took opana the day before and the day of and they want a copy of my prescription from Dr which I don't have. Can I pass off my hydrocodone script for the opana.?? Or do they say exactly what it is? If it just says opiate then I thought it might work... Please let me know. Freaking .... ## It really depends on the specifics of the test they use and I have no way of knowing that, but there are some that just show the presence of opiates and some that show the specific opiate. However, I think the clue here is that they specifically said prescription drugs, since there are also illicit opiates, thus I am guessing that they used the test that shows the specific ones th...

my mother was prescribed 120 mg of oxymorphone twice a day. any side effects I should be looking for. ## Hello, Teen! How are you? Are you sure that's the correct name of the medication? Oxymorphone is a narcotic analgesic, but it's not available in that high of a dosage. The maximum amount available is 10mg tablets, so she'd have to be taking 12 of them, twice a day. Learn more Oxymorphone details here. 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. Can you please double check the name of the drug and post back? Thanks! ## Wow I don't understand how some people talk out there butt like they actually know anything..first off you should speak to her do...

This stuff is garbage! Doesn't kill the pain and makes me sleepy, which never has happened before. Been in this stuff for years. I'll ask CVS to NOT fill it if they use this company!!! ## Hello, Freda! How are you? I'm very sorry the medication from this manufacturer didn't work for you. Just like any generic, however, it works great for some people, but not everyone. But, you are always free to go to a different pharmacy to see if they carry one from a different manufacturer. I actually always hate the nasty taste I'd get from one my medications and was delighted, when I transferred my prescriptions to a different pharmacy and discovered that they carry one from a different manufacturer that is film coated. The FDA warns that Norco carries the risk of being habit fo...

Hello .I have been using Tylenol 1 with 8mg codeine to deal with chronic pelvic pain.. Sometimes I have to take alot like 13 to just hit the pain level..was prescribed Oxycodone 5/325.. 1every 4hrs.. will it be sufficient for pain level ? Until problem dealt with! ## Oh heck. Please stop taking 13 Tylenol tablets at a time! The 8mg of codeine isn't a particularly effective analgesic and the acetaminophen 300 mg, is paracetamol, which whilst being a very effective, useful, broad spectrum analgesic for mild to moderate pain (it can also be used to reduce a temperature, but I digress) is incredibly toxic when taken in excessive amounts. The maximum safe amount of acetaminophen/paracetamol you can take in a day is 4g/4000mg. So yes, technically you can take 13 of them in 24 hours, but y...

A new pain pill exstinded relief that starts with and a not avinsa ## Hi Eddie, What about the name Astramorph? It too is another brand of Morphine like Avinza. However, the difference is that Astramorph is an inj./epidural. And while I'm not sure how new it is or how long the relief lasts, inj's. are typically a lot stronger than oral pain meds due to increased bioavailability. Unfortunately I haven't heard of any other pain meds that start with an 'A', but if anything I hope this at least helps narrow down your search.

please identify drug that may be a sugar pill or real thing. Generic that is white with no markings on one side and has u37 on other side and is round. it is not working for me at all suppose to be tylenol 4. ## Hello, Loulou! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Aurolife Pharma and they do list it as containing 60mgs of Codeine and 300mgs of Acetaminophen. The FDA classifies this medication as being 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, Codeine is a very mild narcotic, so it often doesn't alleviate severe pain and it doesn't help some people, at all. Have you informed your doctor? ## If you are given y this pill"Give It Back" It dose...

I have been taking this med app. 6 months, oxycontin 80mg, they just changed it to opana ER 40mg., does anyone know the difference? Does anyone know which is better for arounf the clock severe pain? Thank you ## They are both different opiates, but you've been given an equivalent dose. There really is no better or best medication that anyone should tell you, it depends on you and what works best to relieve your pain. Have you tried the Opana, yet? 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. ## Opana is probably one of the strongest narcotics out there for in home use. I'm not talking about injectables, pills only. It has very ...

Is the government making hydrocodon-acetaminophen available only to patients with certian condition? ## Not that I'm aware of, but it has been restricted further by the DEA. It was changed to a schedule 2 medication in 2014/early 2015. Additional DEA directives were issued advising doctors of what they deemed to be appropriate limits for people not suffering from intractable pain due to a possibly fatal illness. In turn, this has caused some doctors to stop prescribing it, as well as other narcotics. The FDA has found it to be very commonly abused, plus it has habit forming potential for virtually anyone that takes it. Has anyone else heard something about this?

How soon after taking hydrocodone 10/325 can I take tylenol #3. My doctor is switching me to the tylenol # 3 and I read "do not take tylenol #3 if you have 'recently" taken another narcotic medication," but it didn't state the meaning of 'recently." ## Hello, Najnaj! How are you? Unless your doctor, or pharmacist instructs otherwise, it is usually intended for you to stop the one medication and start taking the new one at the schedule dosing time. In other words, it usually not necessary to wait days, just the regular amount of time that you would take another one. The FDA classifies Tylenol 3 as a narcotic analgesic, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Is ...

i took 1 low dosage morphine is that enuff to show up in a screen? im prescribed 30mg oxys but am out so neone knw i neverr took a morphine b4 n im 4ft 11 in 118 lbs???? ## As a narcotic, Morphine can be detectable in a standard urine test for approximately 4 to 5 days, after last dosing, so yes, it can be detected if the test is within that time frame. How did you end up running out early? ## Will a small prescription morphine pill show up In a preemployment urine test? And if so for how long? It was a small white pill with a M on it and I was told it may have only been 4mg but could be wrong only lasted a couple hours. ## Don't sound like a morphine at all. Small white with an M? They do not make a 4 mg. I don't think? 15 mg's and 30 mg's usually have a number. One...

Is Hysingla ER as bad as Zohydro ER? ## Hello, Wondering! How are you? What problems did you have with Zohydro? This is basically the same thing, it also contains Hydrocodone as the active ingredient, in an extended release formulation. It's just manufactured by a different company and the time released mechanism is different. The FDA classifies this medication as being 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. ## To the initial poster. If you are reacting to Zohydro's initial lack of any type of anti-abuse deterrent, Hysingla ER has such deterrents in place. While there is a lot of controversy surrounding these new extended release hydrocodone based medications...

for 3 years my dr. was prescribing me three 60mg morphine sulphate er and four 30mg ms ir daily. when it became impossible to get MS in Florida, he switched me to Fentanyl patch 12MCG/HR every 3 days and 7.5mg-200 hydrocordone , 1 every 8 hours. the pain was unbearable and I felt terrible. cold sweats, shakes, could'nt think straight. when I asked him to increase dosage, he increased the patch to 25 MCG, but said there was more MS in the 7.5-200 hydrocodone than the 30mg tabs of ms. do you agree? Also, how does the patch equate to the Three 60MG MS er I was taking daily? Prior to this Dr.,after I moved 200 miles away,, my orthopedic surgeon was prescribing me Oxycontin, or oxycodone. When I called him 3 years ago and told him The new pain management Dr. switched to MS, he said its l...

I am prescribed Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 7.5-325, but was prescribed Morphine 30mg ER & Fentanyl patches... the Hydro doesn't work & I still have some Morphine left & a lot of patches left... I'm wondering, when they do a urine test, will they be able to see the Morphine? I know that the Fentanyl shows up differently. How long prior to my appointment must I stop the Fentanyl in order for it NOT to show up? It's strange, cuz on my Pain management doctor's list, he still has the Fentanyl listed!! Even though I weaned (stupid me) myself off of it six months ago and told him to stop it!!

Has anyone heard about the pharmaceutical companies making a time released fentanyl pill? I briefly saw something about it but cannot remember where? ## That'll never happen, too easy to take accidentally...and it's now 2012 ## Fentanyl oral is Oravescent 800mch.I was on the trial back in 06.they work very fast and for 3-4 hrs. ## Has come in a lollipop since 02 I know of. This is for , pardon the expression break through pain.
