Most of these people are just whinners. I've been taking oxys for 15 years or more. Recently the pharmacy i used switched to this brand. There isnt a difference - if blindfolded u coudnt tell the difference. Only beef would be not being able to cut it in half. Again these work as well as thee others. People just like to complain. I have pain from my neck to my toes. If they were not working i would surely complain about it. So quit crying, it's in your head! ## Hello, BruceG! How are you? While I am glad that this medication is working so well for you, what you have stated is not correct. Since there can be fluctuations from one generic to another, which is permitted under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, not all medications from every manufacturer work for everyone that tries them...

Blue V 48\12some are smaller and darker are they placebos? ## Hello, Ria! How are you? Quite a few people have posted about these recently and I must admit that I don't have any information on them. There have been no changes reported in the prescription drug databases, so far. That means there's a chance that these may be fake. 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. Where were they obtained? ## I bought what I thought was a 30mg Oxycodone with the V on one side and other side has the 48 score 12 on it and the pill was a very thick pill, it tasted sweet and a little bit of soapy tasting but more of the sweet taste so it had to be a (PLACEBO) an I thou...

what color do these pills look like? ## There is no 60mg of the instant release Oxycodone, it is only available in 5mgs. There is a time released tablet in 60mgs, called Oxycontin, which would have the marking OC or OP on one side and a 60 on the opposite side. The tablets should be red. This is a potent narcotic, so it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## there is oxycontin 30mg instant release but that is as high as instant release goes. ## oxycodone does not just come in 5mgs. They also come in 10s 15s, 20s, and 30s. I know cause I've had all of them within the last year. I suffer from chronic pancreatitis. Oxycodone does not come in 60mgs. There is a oxycotin extended release 60mg tablet. It is ...

Pill that is red and has an X that goes from end-to-end on one side and blank on the other - Does anyone have any idea what it might be? Oxycodone maybe? ## All prescription tablets in the U.S. are required by law to have unique imprints to enable their identification, in case of emergency. Therefore, since this one only has that score line, we can rule it out as being any type of prescription product, which means that it is most likely something that's available over the counter. That leaves it open to many possibilities. I haven't found anything that matches this description, yet…but I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## Hello i have the same pill . but it came in a perc. Pouch. Punch out . but do...

Hello everyone, I have severe back and neck issues along with bone chips in my foot from being shot 2 months ago by a friend and last week my son got my script and usually if I know the pills are the 176 ones, I'll refuse them. Well I have been taking them for a while and asked the Dr back in July 2nd that I'd like to try the 10mg methadone instead of the norco - so he did 3 a day and it was fine for about a week and a half but then my back and neck started up again. And after 3 weeks I was out of them. I called and told them that it didn't work so I got these last week on Monday and I took 2 when my boy got home and I had been in bed for a week in pain, so I thought great - and still 2 hours later no relief. So I took 2 more and then I noticed that they weren't the m367...

Taking 5/325 hydrocodone & ancetamin for fractures in leg & arm. Even though this is small dose I am experiencing itchy face & some shallow breaths or longer time between breaths. I notice this at night . Only been on med for a week but read that these side affects are dangerous. Now afraid to continue pain control with these pills. I was wondering if this is because I take zoloft at nite with the pain med? The pain can get severe so dont know what to take anymore. ## Hello, Mickact! How are you doing? Has there been any change? I think it would be best to consult your doctor, because yes, those could be danger signs, and you might need to switch to a different medication. The FDA lists the typical opiate side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mo...

300-30mg acetaminophen code in vs 5-325mg hydrocodone with acetaminophen no story please just need to know which is stronger, thank you! ## Hello, Cynthia! How are you? I'm happy to help you with this question. Compared to the opiates that were derived much later, Codeine is very mild. For example, according to the opioid converter provided by Global, it takes 33.33mgs of Codeine to be equivalent to each 5mgs of Hydrocodone. Thus, while it may not look like it, if you go by the dosage numbers, Hydrocodone is actually much stronger than Codeine. The FDA classifies these medications as narcotic analgesics, so they carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help...

what is the difference between percocet and vicodin? wanted to know what makes the drugs different don't they do the samething? ## Hello, Glo! How are you? The NIH lists Percocet as containing Oxycodone with Acetaminophen, while Vicodin contains Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen. So yes, they treat the same conditions, but are different medication formulations. Not every medication works for everyone that tries it, so there are usually several available in any given treatment category, thus your doctor can try a different one, if you don't respond to the first you try. The FDA classifies these as narcotic analgesics, so they carry 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 ca...

Looking for an understanding Pain Management Doctor in Pa. I was with a great doc, and went for a visit to find out he had to pull my med's due to 2 of his patients that OD'ed. I have been sick for over 30 years, last operation was in 2009, sub-total colectomy has left me in agony, after 1 year in a hospital the Finest Dr. said he was sorry and I would have to live in pain..So I am 67 now and in horrible pain, spent spring and summer in the hospital. Looking for a caring doctor and tired of hearing about their OPIOID Problem, that is not my problem...

My pain management doctor just cut me off of oxy because I neglected to tell him my dentist prescribed pain meds after he removed 3 dental implants and pulled 3 teeth. I am in the process of having the remainder of top teeth pulled for full dentures. I had a total left hip replacement in December and continue to have pain in my back and hips. My right hip is now starting to show the same symptoms as my left before it was replaced. I'm not abusing the drug; I take as prescribed. However, because I didn't inform my doc of dental issues AND because I had the script filled at a pharmacy closer to my home (after dental surgery), he thinks I am trying to run a scam. Can anyone help me?

I was prescribed 60mg Morphine ER twice a day with 10mg norco up to 6 tablets a day for 2.5 years. I always took it as prescribed never asked for early prescriptions. A few months ago my rheumatologist sent me to a pain dr for management because he said I am too young (35) to be on this many narcotics. The new dr is super nice and you can tell he wants to medicate me to manage my pain but has changed my medication around all over the place to doses that are too low or medications that don't work or cause side effects. I was managed on the morphine and norco and told him I didn't need him to change anything but to just give me a new rx. Because of the DEA and FDA he wanted to see if there were medications that would help that aren't as controlled by the DEA. Because of the ag...

Need oxycodone 15 prescription adapt from dr Patel for fractured l5. This is as detailed as possible. Are there any other pain specialists or pops in north charleston or Summerville that will prescribe oxycodone 15's or 30's for legitimate chronic pain

Looking for a Pain Management Dr. On Long Island or the 5 Boro Who Will Still Prescribe Narcotic Pain Medications For Mutiple Areas Of Chronic Pain. ie. Oxycodone, Percocet, Oxycontin, etc. Shots have not worked or cannot be cleared for some by my Cardiologist and Manipulation and Exercises Cannot Be Tolerated Without Pain Medications.

I screwed up after 6 months of being completely clean. I didn't take a lot just a tiny bit of fentanyl and I am wondering if I will be ok on Wednesday for a drug test for my probation officer?...I'm 5'2, maybe 110lbs. ## It's probably still detected within 3 days. I know that's probably what you don't want to hear. Whatever you do, DO NOT TRY TO MASK IT, with Golden Seal and all the others out there. They NOW have a test at the same time looking for 'masking agents'. Depending on where you live, a positive masking agent is enough for a failed drug test. Many of my friends have had that happen to them. If you have a legal prescription for it - SHOW IT BEFORE THE DRUG TEST.

I live in NE WA State and have Interstitial Cystitis and have been dropped by my doctor for no good reason. I have been a good patient, have never failed a U/A, and always came to my appointments. They said they were being "nice" to give me 30 days worth of pills to find a new doc.. Well, those 30 days are past and I have called all over the place. No one will take a chronic pain patient! I can't believe this! What country are we living in? If anyone has any suggestions, please, please let me know! I've stretched my pills that are left just about as far as they will go. I take Oxycontin 30mg 3 x day, and Hydrocodone 10mg 4 x a day. I cannot face the pain that will come when I run out.

When I take Perocet 7.5/325 white round I get really hot red face and feel sick but if I take Perocet 10/325 yellow oval this doesn't happen but they both help with pain.

light green Oxycodone. Just the synthetic opiate medicine no acetaphetamine or aspirin included. I have no bad reactions from the straight medication. There are fillers and other opiates than cause me to have open sores and other reactions. My liver can not handle anymore tylenol or steroid inj's.. Now I am being denied the government insurance certain amount of medication for my pain. The government says 5 mg. or 15, or 30. What about 20mg.? Why all the drugs from countries that the water supplies are questionable? What is safe? Anyone? ## Hello, Connie! How are you doing?

I know vicodin is addictive, but what I want to know is: For the people who are in chronic severe long term pain, is getting off it any easier? Vicodin isnt that strong, it is only a little stronger than acetomeniphen and codiene but theres something about vicodin that makes it much more addictive, does anybody know? ## No! But I would like to know what it is. My husband has been taking Vicodin, off and on, for 2 years. He takes it for severe pain. ## Well me being a ex drug addict to perscription drugs my comment to this would be...When we get addicted we can take up to 30 pills and not care or we start mixing a lot even drink with the meds. This causes more damage and health problems to are body....This making in the end the pain worse..It's a lot like alcohol It's ok why your...
