I noticed the bright blue does seem to work better than the lighter blue anyone else tell the difference? ## @SV96, Seeing as the dosage is the same, there's probably something different in the list of inactive ingredients that's responsible for the noticeable change in efficacy. My understanding is that certain binders/fillers can negatively affect bioavailability by hindering the absorption of the active ingredients that they are mixed with. But in order to know for sure what's causing the differences, one would need to compare these lists of ingredients first. Are these two oxycodone pills manufactured by a different company? Do you know what their imprints are? ## Don't know yet ...just got the bright ones today for first time ## my favorite are k9 which are lil dark...

I have been taking hydrocodone 10/325 4 times daily for post surgery pain for 2 weeks. My dr recently switched me to 50 mg tramadol because he wasn't in the office to write me a script. Will the tramadol be just as effective? I just took 3 50 mg tramadol to start off with. ## Hello, Dustin! How are you? The data varies and states that it takes 50 to 100mgs of Tramadol to be equal to each 10mgs of Hydrocodone. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. How much did you doctor advise you to take?

My prescription said lde in one side it's supposed to be 10mg oxycoxone.. An I can't g find on goggle could you please let me know what it is ## Can you please tell me what this is lde oblong yellow pill ## Hi Stephanie, To better evaluate my search efforts, what does "Ide" stand for? Is this part of a pill imprint? Also, is that a lowercase "L" or an uppercase "i"? Currently, all of the yellow oblong tablets I've seen that contain oxycodone, have markings on both sides. Where did you get your prescription filled at? Thanks for looking into this!

Percocet acenmorphen 233 10mg pill are small like the 223 oxycodone 5mg pill. The 233 10mg is made use in less Tyleno. This is the reason why the pill could be made so small. The 233 10mg pill also has a lot less damage results on the liver from the tylenol when taking a recommended dosage provided by your doctor for long periods of time. Therefore the 233 10mg percocet is one of the top recommended pain medication. ## The lowest available strength of acetaminophen in Percocet is actually 325mgs. To my knowledge "233mg" acetaminophen tablets don't even exist; at least not yet in the US. If there is a 233mg version somewhere in the world, it's not being advertised. You may be thinking of this tablet (containing oxycodone + aspirin)?: Discuss/I-found-what-some-of-you-all-a...

white 503 ## Watson 503 contains Acetaminophen 650mgs and Hydrocodone 10mgs, this is a generic for Lorcet, a potent narcotic pain reliever. ## They don't make them like they use to cuz Watson is a sell out and now Watsons pills suck. The colored ones r better. ## If pain pills are addictive so what. If a person is in so much pain like myself they will be taking them the rest of their lives anyway. I was taking 200 mlg of morphine twice a day plus oxy 30's eight times a day and the quality of my life was never better

The following quotes are directly from NIH's PubMed study - giving a rundown of their review on Kratom [see link below for reference]. But here’s where things get confusing - STATEMENT A: “In Southeast Asia, kratom has been used for decades as an herbal medication to treat chronic pain, increase energy and stamina, treat chronic pain and diarrhea, and as a substitute for opium or for opium withdrawal.” STATEMENT B: “Extracts of kratom have been used to treat chronic pain, diarrhea and cough.” STATEMENT C: “Kratom has not been shown to have any beneficial medical uses.” Now is that a not contradiction or what?! Since when has chronic pain, GI or respiratory issues been deemed 'non-medical related'? Last I checked, pharmacies were still p

My niece has been diagnosed as what they think is MS and this is what they prescribed her. When she messages me she sometimes makes no sense. Is that normal? She says she only takes 2 a day but also takes oxy ## Hello, Debbies! How is your niece doing? Dilaudid is another narcotic analgesic that is used to treat moderate to severe pain and yes, it may cause her to feel dizzy, drowsy and disoriented, as listed among the typical side effects by the FDA. Things should improve, once her body gets used to the medication, but that may take a month, or so. Is there anything else I can help with?

1. I now take15 mg morphine sulfate TID which makes me sleepy and does not handle my pain, plus up to 10/325 oxycodone 4xday to handle pain. (orig. on 30 mg morphine sulfate + oxy, and reduced at my request due to sleepiness) 2. 10/325 mg oxycodone taken alone 4xday is effective 80 or so % of the time in treating my pain, and does not cause sleepiness. Why the difference? My pain mgmnt physician wants me to rely more on the morphine sulfate. Thank you so much. ## While they are both narcotics, their base chemical structure is different and may affect any given person differently. I had the same problem with Morphine, I could barely ever stay awake, while taking it, however, Oxycodone makes me a bit drowsy, but works much better for me. The FDA warns that narcotic pain medications carry ...

Hi there, if you have been on this pill IP109 and Norco for a number of years & it no longer is helping... instead of increasing the dose myself like alot of us do..Should I talk to my Dr about raising me up to a 7.5 or a 10mg because the Physical Therapy & Trigger Point Injections (TPI) are not helping that much and are actually causing more pain & discomfort. Thank you. Love & Light your way!!!! ## Hello Denise! How are you? Yes, it is never safe to increase the dosage on your own, additionally, if you run out early, your doctor may be afraid that you're abusing your medication, which could cause them to refuse to continue prescribing it for you. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause si...

What manufacturer currently makes the best generic Percocet 10's? My pharmacy carries Mallinckrodt and I had a huge issue with their Norco years ago so I would like to ask if they'll order a different one for me but I don't know which would be good. Need excellent pain relief plus not that super tired feeling. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. ## The only issue I see with making comparisons is, this is all a matter of personal opinion based on each individual's unique body chemistry (i.e. something that isn't easily measured from a medical standpoint) and doesn't necessarily convey or predict how someone else going to respond to another manufacturer [no matter if it's the same drug or not]. Some people may also be more sensitive to different inactive ing...

I am allergic to sulfa drugs but not sure if I can take this medication. I Have had knee surgery, have RSD, and degenerate bone disease in back, can I take Lyrica if allergic to sulfa drugs? ## Hello, Marye! How are you? Was the prescribing doctor and your pharmacist aware of your allergy? If so, there should be nothing to worry about, because they will check medications for you. Lyrica itself is not a sulfa drug, however, I can't check the inactive ingredients for you based just on the color. What are the markings on the capsule? The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight gain.

Can you take this medication oxycodone 5.325mg even if a person taking methadone for medication. ## Hello Deshawn! How are you? Has it been prescribed for them? They can be taken together, but only if someone's doctor deems it safe for them to try. The FDA warns that narcotic analgesics carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.

Is this a pain medication called Roxy? My cousin took one an it made him feel funny and then went to sleep. It was supposed to be for pain for his back not sleep. Did he take something else? He's been a wake for a few hours but slept most of the morning. ## This is actually listed as containing 50mgs of Meperidine, which is a different narcotic analgesic. The FDA lists side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Most pain medications can cause drowsiness as side effects, including Roxicodone. Is there anything else I can help with?

Morphine pill with ms 15 on one side and m on the other.Does this pill have control release. ## Hi Jesse, The answer to your question is yes. The imprint "M MS 15" on a round blue pill has been identified as Morphine sulfate extended release (15 mg). Learn More: Morphine Details I hope this helps! ## hi jesse, if that pill isn't prescribed to you, take it to whomever it was prescribed to. if i'm correct, morphine sulfate is the generic of OXYCONTIN and noooooo good unless you are suffering from a terminal condition. the quantity (15mg) is instant release, (extended came in 10mg, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and maybe 120mg (120's i've heard of but never been prescribed. new trend among teenagers (pill parties) or what i call "rushin roulette" because they are taki...

Roxicodone, however, would contain Oxycodone. Is there anything else I can help with?

Does anyone have any tips on easiest transition from taking about 10 x 8mg Dilaudid per day intravenously to taking 1-2 x 30mg blue tablets orally? This is mainly so I can be seen by a doctor because I'll never go there with marks and bruises from using a needle! Also because it is awful of course... I need to go through MRIs and pain management. I doubt they would prescribe me opiates if I go there as a drug abuser. Anyways just want some tips on an easy transition it's a huge difference and hard to change once you get there so I'm going to try. Thanks.
