Pain Relief Forums (Page 393)

I am currently looking for a new pain Dr. In the orange county, Ca area. I am 28 yrs old but been on heavy pain meds for 10 yrs now due to several accidents, surgeries and reconstructions. Last Dr had me on 180 30mg Roxie a month, 360 methadone a month and 60-90 2mg Xanax. I need to find a new Dr ASAP who will have no issues writing that for me every 4 weeks minimum. I actually use to be on much stronger meds and trying to find a local Dr. In OC, Ca somewhere who will happily continue my pain management and not turn me away because of the amount or type of meds I need. Sure do appreciate a speedy response from anyone with a good referral. Looking for a dr who will prescribe a high number of 30s (at least 180), 2mg Xanax (90), 120mg daily methadone and hopefully 15mg Roxie as well (180.....

My doctor increased the amount of Percocet I get for the month. It's been 2 weeks since it was filled, and by the increase, I would be out; My pharmacy said the insurance won't allow it to be filled until it's been a month. Any other time this has happened they have given it to me without any issue. It's from the same doctor. So, I wanted to know if they are suppose to fill it or am I going to have to wait 2 more weeks? Thank you ## Hello, Raine! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. From what you've said, it seems that this is more an insurance issue, rather than your pharmacy not wanting to fill it. Most insurance companies have a limit on how much of any given medication that they will cover each month, it's usually based on the...

Little white pill on the front the numbers are 446 on the back is HT3 ## Well, your identification is correct, but you are looking at the front of the pill upside down. LOL! The is actually supposed to be an ETH, for the pharmaceutical company Ethex, not an HT3, though it is a common mistake. Anyway, yes, this is Oxycodone 30mgs, a generic for Roxicodone. This is a regular release tablet or the narcotic analgesic. This is a very addictive medication and should never be taken unless approved by your doctor and you are under their continuing supervision. ## I have resently been prescribed 30mg oxycodone. they are little blue pills with a 30 on one side and a inscribed M on the other are these the same as the other blue one's? ## Yes, that is a 30mg.Oxycodone imm. release tablet. The M...

the best thing to do is ask for the name brand form of the pill.roxxicodone and not the generic and go to a big corperate pharmacy not a mom and pop shop ## I have seen a bunch of the darker blue K-9s here in Florida lately too and I think they are fake also. There are a ton of fake pills going around now. ## To those who are constantly at risk of taking fake meds, the best way to avoid this is by obtaining a valid prescription through your doctor and to get it filled at a licensed pharmacy. Not worth risking it all by taking a shot in the dark at web-based pharmacies or other illegal means. In all fairness, sometimes legitimate pharmacies even dispense what 'seasoned' pain patients (i.e. those who've "tried them all") refer to as placebo pills; doing nothing to mask...

Does Tramodol cause problems for people on probation by showing up in a urinalysis? I have been researching this on the internet and half of the people say yes it does show up and half say no. I dont know who to belief...how can I go about getting a definite answer? ## Tramadol itself isn't detected, but it has been known to cause false positives for PCP and Methadone. Learn more Drug testing details here. Are there any other questions or comments? ## Sorry but that is not true . Tramadol DOES show up. I learned the hard way. I didn't even know it was considered a narcotic in the past few years. So I thought nothing of it. =•(

Same as above how many mg Percocet are usually taken for pain relief.What is a high dose and how often are 20 mg taken ## The highest available dose of Percocet, according to the FDA website, contains 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, so there is no 20mg dosage available in the U.S. Were you referring to just Oxycontin tablets? They are available in a 20mg dosage, but do not include the Acetaminophen and they're in a time released formulation. It is classified as a narcotic analgesic, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. As to how much is taken, that may differ from person to person, depending on what dose best controls their pain and what dosage their doct...

I take Norco 10/325mg, 1tab q 4-6 hrs. Taking past 2 yrs chronic pain. Started seeing pain mgmt 3 months ago. I take it about every 4-5 hrs around clock. Wake up night back pain about 2 a.m. My urine drug levels past 2 months were 20,000. Dr. said it should be about 4-6,000. He accused me of popping 4-5 at a time which is completely false. Switched me to Hysingla ER 60 mg. I have to keep a log of meds taken and pill count each visit. How could my levels be so high? I don't feel I was abusing. Do you think my having taken the pill before a routine urine test might have just been at the peak level? He suspects me of abuse. No way could tolerate over 1 dose. ## What should a person's urine level be if they take Norco 10-325mg, 1 tablet four times a day [Starting on 8/18/16 to 9/1/1...

I'm prescribed 4 norco 325 for chronic back pain daily. Also morphine sulfate 45mg 3 times a day.......I left the morphine on a plane and I won't be able to get back to my dr for another 3 weeks ...I've been substituting the morphine with 6 4mg dilaudids daily.... How long will the dilaudid stay in my system? I'm randomly tested from time to time.

Just trying to find out if this pill i found is a oxyxotin thirtys are an oxycodone ten minor what exactly whixh one it is if someone could just tell me what thirtys and tens look like please thank u ## Hello, Jerrold! How are you? Actually, this tablet is neither. The imprint is actually 801, it's manufactured by Acella Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 100mgs of Phenazopyridine, which is used to alleviate the pain from urinary tract infections. It is available via prescription, or over the counter. The FDA page on it lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, headache, discolored urine, and upset stomach. Is there anything else I can help with?

I had a spinal fusion 1 month ago and just ran out of percocet. My sister brought back 100 tablets of tramadol 100 mg from Cancun. Can I take them with Lyrica and Plaquenil? I'm in such pain. ## Hey Shanell, sorry to hear that you're in a bunch of pain. If I may ask, doesn't your doctor have you on a continuous pain med regimen considering that you had major back surgery a month ago? To answer your question - there may be interactions between the Tramadol and Lyrica (they can intensify each others side effects), so I would only take them together under a doctor's supervision. I hope this helps! Best wishes for a fast recovery, and let me know what sort of pain treatment your doctor is recommending after the surgery. [1] source: PubMed / 22814011

My dr. has been giving me 30 mg morphine immediate release for several years. I just had my prescription filled and noticed that my new ones say SR.I'm sure it was a mistake and my dr. and I never had any discussion about it. The pharmacy is closed now but I need my medicine. So since I am used to the 30 mg IR already, why would it hurt to crush or cut open the same amount of mg in SR? I can't wait until the pharmacy opens again tomorrow afternoon. ## Theoretically your reasoning makes good sense, and in light of that I don't see why it would hurt to do so. However, for the sake of taking it as prescribed, only your doctor can legally tell you what you should or should not do to achieve a certain level of pain relief. While I personally wouldn't cut any time-released med...

Pfizer will give you your Lyrica for free if your income is under $48k annually for a single person and $70k for 2 people. Pfizer is a great company! ## Hello, Dulcinea! How are you? Thank you for making such a helpful post! Pfizer really is a great company and they have been expanding their assistance services to try to help even more people. If anyone needs more information, they can call them at 866-706-2400. AstraZeneca also has a great program, I received a medication I needed free from them for several years, when I was uninsured. Anyone needing details on one of their medications can call them at 800-292-6363. Does anyone know of more programs? ## Pfizer is the only one I know of, but I really think an organization like AARP should be ashamed of themselves. They should know this ...

I take one Advil PM almost every night to sleep. I also take an Aleve gel ievery morning for aches and pains, because I find that the Aleve Gel works better for my aches ## They really shouldn't be combined, since they both contain NSAIDs, the Ibuprofen in the Advil PM and the Naproxen in the Aleve. However, it really depends o how close together you are taking them. If they are being taken 8 to 10 hours apart, then there really shouldn't be any severe problems. Both of them can irritate your stomach, though, so you may experience some problems with that, but that would also result if you were just taking one of them and not 2 different ones. Are there any other comments or questions? ## So I took an alieve at like 7:30 and I want to take a Advil PM and its 8:30 is that a problem?

I understand ty's #3, #4 work best with tylenol or acetaminophen. Can it be compounded at a pharmacy? And perhaps without as much acetaminophen or tylenol, for health's sake and saving people from dying bc they need a higher dose of codeine? I've had fentanyl patches, hydrocodone, Lortab, etc for years of pain due to extenuating circumstances and nothing works as good "for me" as the tylenol #4. Is this something I can ask a compounding pharmacy to do for me? Is there already a ty #10 made and sold under another name? ## Hello, MinnieMoose! How are you? Plain Codeine is already available on the market, via prescription, so if you wish, you could speak to your doctor about prescribing it and taking it with whatever amount of Acetaminophen they deem appropriate. A comp...

I was in the hospital 2 months ago a was given a couple hydros and some morphine. About a month ago I took 2 more because I was in a lot of pain. I have a hair test coming up in 45 days and was wondering if I'd be over the cut off limit and if so, will I be able to claim it was from the couple I was given in the hospital? ## A Hair Drug Test is meant to show consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch sample, cut at the scalp line, will go back 90 days. As far as the hydos go I don't think they will show up . In regards to the morphine it's any body's guess how much they gave you but you should be able to get some type of letter from the attending physician to clear that end of it. Of course you could do your own anonymous hair 5 drug panel test to see where you stand.
