Pain Relief Forums (Page 392)

I have a older sister who has been the worst addict with pretty much everything. She just about killed herself in a car accident due to being high on Marijuana and drunk on whiskey. Well we got her help, supported her. Now we have recently discovered she is abusing pain medication. She's already had 2 Dr's drop her due to taking a month's supply in a week. Now my elderly mother is having to drive her to a Dr over 2 hours away to someone who hasn't heard of her or this addiction. Last week she got month supply of Norco 5/325 AND now he's added a months worth of percocet 10 (oxycontin er 10mg). She got them less than 10 days ago and she was crying, begging me for some of my pain medication. I have cancer and I'm recovering from a surgery as well. I refuse to enable...

what this looks like ## This is a generic for Percocet and as a generic, I cannot possibly list all the markings and descriptions on here, because it is made by many different companies and they all have to have different markings, under U.S. law. What are the markings on your tablet? I will gladly look it up for you. And here is a partial list of some markings, perhaps it includes yours: White, round, imprint 512 White, round, Watson 749 White round, IP 203 Light blue, round, 555 278 White, round, 104 And, as I stated, this is NOT a comprehensive list, there are many more. Is the pill you are questioning on this list? If not, post back with the imprint and description and I will gladly look it up for you and see if we can verify what it is. ## What might a round white pill with 555 abo...

I took a 10mg percocet on Monday at 7pm. I have a urine test Monday at 4pm will I test positive,even though I used one last week ## According to the latest testing information available, Oxycodone is usually detectable in most people for approximately 5 days, after last dosing. It will always vary slightly from person to person, which is why there is no precise time frame to give, but 5 days is the general average. Learn more Percocet details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## But what about hair how long does it stay in your hair after taken a oxycondone

What's the difference in a urine test, between a 10 mg Oxycodone hcl and a 5 mg Oxycodone hcl? ## My pharmacy did not have enough to fill my prescription of 30 oxycodone. They said they could fill it with 5mg oxymoron. I would have to take 6 to equal my 30mg. Will this show up the same on a urine test? Some say it's the same but I think differently? Thank you.

Wife has RA and has tried many different NSAIDs to relieve pain and reduce swelling. We don't want to take the standard RA Meds as the side effects are bad as well. Due to intense pain a few nights ago, I let her use some of my hydrocodone with acetaminophen and woke up feeling better than she had in months. What part of the drug is responsible for reducing the inflammation and then the pain to allow her to use her hands and walk. Are there other options we should look at for her pain/inflammation? Many of the NSAIDs haven't worked effectively for her. ## Hello, Todd! How are you and your wife? It could be that this is a good medication for her and she may need to ask her doctor about trying it. Was it the combination with Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen? It does take opiates to h...

I am using opana 40er twice a day and Norco 10/325 for breakthru pain. I have Severe night sweats and go through 6 t- shirts and 4 pair of boxers a night. I use 4 pillows wrapped in towels and have to do wash every AM. The towels and the pillows are soaked with sweat. Is there anyone out there who has experienced this? My Pain doc thinks it's the opana, but she admits she is not even sure. I am willing to change my meds completely as long as I am not having the night sweats. I Truly have no quality of sleep and don't want to live like this anymore. Can Anyone Help Me? ## Unfortunately, doctors don't receive the same intense training on medications that pharmacists do, so they don't always know all the possible side effects. Yes, some narcotics are known to cause severe n...

I took a drug test at my pain management and it came back that I had no hydrocodone in my system and it had only been about 4days since I took it. How is this possible ## There is something strange going on. The same thing happened to me on Jan 15, 2013. I was negative for hydrocodone, but I had run out 3 days prior. I thought it might have to do with my ionic footbath cleansing and and other nutritional supplements I take to help reduce further "toxic pain" They told me it was my second "negative" screen, first being last July, right after I'd started a high alkaline water regime wihich really helped me feel better...but I still couldn't get by without my hydro (three ruptured disks, osteoarthritis, CDs, fibromyalgia, bla, bla, bla...). They almost kicked me out...

I have severe pain in my upper arm around to my neck up to base of my skull and down my spine around the waist and in both knees. It wakes me up in tears. My neurologist gave me a referral for 2 doctors. I called both who said it would be 2 to 3 weeks for an appointment. I am tired of waking up crying. I am 72 years old. What can I do? ## Herniated discs, s*** myself, and can't sit. On top of it I can barley get in the shower. My mom helps me with everything. I can't sleep for long nor walk long, and can't bend over. I'm only 43. I got hurt at work. I can't work. I owe so much they cut my check in half. I'm seeing Dr hearns wc Dr but he's only giving me 7.5 which doesn't do a thing. I take 3 at a time and it helps a lot better. I don't know why he don...

just found in sons room ## I cannot possibly post a picture of all the pills on the market that contain the same ingredients as Percocet, there are far too many. Once a pill is available for generic production, they are made by many different companies and they all look different and have to have different markings. If you can post back with the shape, color and markings from the pills, I will gladly look it up for you to check what it is. ## This pill is white, round, E 145 on one side with a line on the other side. ## 105 one side blank on other ## Vernon I have a greenish round pill with 187 on one side is this a type of percocet? ## round pill with a 15 on one side and a mark dividing it in half under the 15 on the other side there is a m inside a box ## round blue pill with marking...

I live in the san Jose area and I'm trying to find a doctor to prescribe me oxycodone 30 mg for chronic back pain. please help. my email is {edited for privacy} ## Hello, Mike! How are you? I'm sorry, but there is no listing of doctors according to what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. Additionally, most doctors aren't going to let you walk in and ask for a specific medication in a specific dosage. They usually tend to view that as being drug seeking behavior. You need to set up an appointment, make sure they get a copy of your current medical records, then discuss your treatment options at the actual appointment. And due to the new regulations that were put in place last year by the DEA, you'll need to see a pain management specialist, to hav...

I'm a military veteran in desperate need of a good pain management specialist. I received my injuries during 8 yrs of naval service. I started experiencing seveir back pain before separating but was unable to seek in depth medical treatment while still serving due to the nature of my job and requirements of duty while over seas. After separating it took two years of going to the VA before they we're able to find a fracture in my L1 vertebrae, 3 hurniated disk, and degenerative disk disease. I was placed on Norco 10. Even after the initial medication I was still experiencing seveir pain from what I later found out was sciatica from the damaged nerves in my lower back. I was then prescribed Gabapentin with little result. After a year and a half of gritting my teeth I informed my P...

Next to my fill date of generic Percocet I usually have a MCRK code but this new supplier has MADV. Is there a meaning for this? I just feel it's not as strong as what I've been getting ## This new medication 5/325 Oxycodone / APAP has RP stamped on one side of medication ## Hello, Tom! How are you? The MCRK and MADV are abbreviations for the generic manufacturers. For instance, MCRK stands for Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. In case of emergency, the pharmacies do this to keep track of the manufacturer and/or distributor and the RP is a manufacturers logo. 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. Is there anything else...

Could I take oxycodone/acetaminophen 5-325 (pill imprint 512) with oxycodone 5mg (pill imprint k18) together. ## Hello, John! How are you? You can do so, as long as your doctor approves. There is no Acetaminophen in the K18 tablet manufactured by KVK Tech. 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? ## Hey John, Why would you want to take them together? It makes one think about "Are you using them for pain or recreationally?" It sounds like a possibly dangerous combination. "Just saying..." be careful.

I usually get the yellow V 36 01 when I fill my 10mg Norco. This time they gave me white V 36 09. ## Hi debra, The V 36 09 white pill is a new version made by Qualitest that only recently came out on the market; which is why information seems scarce at the moment. However other patients here have also confirmed this in the following discussion thread: Discuss/hydrocodone-yellowwith-v-on-one-and-3609-on-the-other-what-dose-208024.htm It reportedly contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone + 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Though I'm not sure if it's brand name Norco or generic. You could try contacting the manufacturer for more specific details if need be. I hope this helps! ## it is generic norco . made my hand swell, and I was very irritable . Horrible feeling

I lost my job, and my prescription coverage ran out before my refil. I found a few indipendant providors.. even tried one out... it worked great on my norco - but they want almost $600 for 90 30mg tabs. I was paying $60 with medco anyone have any clue of a provider, or discount program? ## try looking on the internet and look for una rx card or also uni rx card you can sign up online and print off the card at home it gives real good discounts on almost all meds hope it helps ## Purdue actually has an assistance program for people in need of Oxycontin, who do not have insurance and meet the income guidelines. These types of programs usually provide the medications at no cost, for those with low incomes, or on a sliding fee scale to others. I use one from a different company for a blood p...

small, round, white w/ red sprinkles. EP-D 225 ## I THINK THIS DRUG NEEDS MORE INFO ## If I could provide more information, I gladly would, however, this is not listed in any of the prescription drug databases, so I have no idea what it is. It could be a foreign drug or something over the counter. ## I got those after i had all four of my children. Mine were white with red sprinkles.Sounds like tylenol 3/hydro.

I've had two back surgerys and I have a spinal cord stimulator in iam on 60mgs of morphine and 8 mgs of dilaudid and I still have break through pain plus iam on 150mgs of Lyrica iam just wondering what I can change to cover the pain. ## Hello, Sheri! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. You could possibly raise either the Morphine or the Lyrica to higher dosages to get better pain control. The Morphine carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. What other medications have you tried? How often do you take the Dilaudid? ## I'm on Dilaudid it makes all my bones hurt really bad.

Florida now has 32 milligram Capsules Coming from compounding pharmacies they are not allowed to do 30 milligrams capsules because of copying right infringement laws. The pills are solid white with no markings But have 32 / 5 The five is 5 milligrams of dextrose to keep people from them shooting up. there are actually 5 more milligrams in a capsule than there are in a regular oxycodone 30 milligram pill. in a regular Mallinckrodt or other 30 milligram oxycodone there is only 27.5 milligrams in each pill ## I find it odd how drug companies are now (all of a sudden) unable to use a particular dosage because of copyright infringement laws. Were these copyright laws simply not in place prior to this moment? There are several manufacturers of oxycodone and they all have various percentages o...
