The pills which you are describing are an over the counter cold remedy, which fortunately do not contain any narcotic ingredients. There is a related discussion thread which has identified 44-473 Blue Pill as containing: - Acetaminophen 325mg - Dextromethorphan HBr 10mg - Phenylephrine HCL 5mg - Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2mg As far as helping your son through his addiction, have you guys considered taking him to a coun...

Where do I need to go to be prescribed Percocet, vicodin, anything along the lines of that? I suffer from endometriosis severe, intense pain and swelling in my sacrum and coccyx which puts pressure on my sciatic nerve sending pain down my legs. Legs that are not in their best health with osteo-arthritis and raynauds circulation disorder. And they want to give me tramadol and flexeril, when tramadol causes involuntary muscle spasms. Worst part I'm only 26, What do I do? ## Hello, Dee! How are you? You'll most likely need to go to a pain management specialist, due to the new restriction that were set forth by the DEA last year. 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, dizzine...

I have ALLERGY to codeine all I want to know is Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5-325 TB have codeine in this yes or no plkeasae ## Hello, Shirley! How are you? No, the active ingredients are exactly what you listed, Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen. According to the FDA, 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. There is a slight chance that you could also have an allergic reaction to another narcotic, but there's no way to know other than trying it. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yes hydrocodone has codeine in it, if you're allergic to codeine I would refrain from using this opiate ## shirley schaschl, it is always best to discuss drug allergies wi...

I have recently heard about a drug combination called the Redneck Cocktail. I know it has oxycontin in it but I'm not sure of the other parts of the cocktail. Does anyone know what this combination of pills is or why it is so popular? ## It looks like this is created by mixing Oxycodone and Crystal Meth, also sometimes called a redneck martini. Both of these are commonly abused by those who like the high euphoric effect, however they are both very dangerous, and in combination, potentially deadly. ## If methamphetamine and Oxycontin are indeed this so called 'redneck cocktail' - then this in particular is extremely dangerous. Oxycontin is an opiate. Opiates are drugs in the DEPRESSANT category whereas Methamphetamine is an amphetamine (obviously), and in the stimulant catego...

I went to a new Pharmacy today to get my monthly Kadian 50mg filled. They said they had the generic and would I like that (Morphine SULFATE ER 50mg). I said sure, but when I looked at the pills, they were exactly the same color, shape, and markings as the name brand Kadian. Does anybody know what the new generic is actually suppose to look like? Why would a drug company make a generic to look exactly like the name brand? How would the Pharmacists tell them apart? ## What are the markings on the tablets? It is possible that you've been receiving a generic all along, but I can't provide you with any information, without knowing the markings on the tablets. If you can post back with this information, I'll gladly check for you. Learn more Morphine information here. ## I don'...

I have searched and found different answers but I wanted to know from my situation....I am 6'0 tall and 200 pounds...I took a 15 mg roxy and will have a drug test in exactly 80 hours from the time I took it....it is a 12 panel drug test.... Will I test positive or negative? And also, I didn't know I would be drug tested so please save the speeches...thanks.

The pill is capsule form with absolutely no imprint. Half dark brown and half tan/light brownish in color. (I don't know my in between colors but I'd say tan is the best description for one half but it looks a little too light greyish to be tan. Anyways my friend gave me a few and said it was hydrocodone 15mg.. I tried one and it is definitely stronger than the norco 10's which I was prescribed after knee surgery. It seems too strong to be hydro 15mg and I've never heard of such a thing. Has anyone seen these before? I don't want to take these i they're oxy's or morphine... ## Hello, Jed! How are you? If it is a capsule, then there is a chance that it might have been something specially ordered by someone's doctor and made just for them by a compounding p...

I have been on Norco Tens for 5 years now and I'm also on Xanax 1mg, Adipex and a couple other medications. I had to take a urine drug screen yesterday for my Dr and it showed positive for oxycodone and I have not taken anything with oxycodone in it. I have been going to the same clinic for 6 years now and have never failed a drug screen for anything or never had any problems whatsoever prior to yesterday. Now I am at risk of losing all my medications due to the oxycodone being present in my urine. Someone please tell me what could have caused this to happen and what can I possibly do to fight this? Need some advice desperately!

Took a drug test today; a 12 panel. I took a 2mg dilaudid last night. What will it show up as, if anything? I really need help on answering this. Thanks in advance. ## Dilaudid is Hydromorphone, a very strong narcotic and opiate pain reliever. It will show up as Opiates. Almost ALL pain killing narcotics show up as Opiates; the only exceptions are drugs used for opiate addiction (and can also be prescribed for pain) like Methadone, Suboxin, and Tramadol or Tramacet (Ultram). All of the treatment drugs are opiate agonists and antagonists, meaning they are synthetic and trick your bodies' receptors into thinking it is an opiate, thereby giving you the same feeling. Methadone prevents other opiates from inducing the euphoric high and can make you sick if you try to mix it, so it's ...

I've been on Butalb-caff-acetaminophen-codeine for four years. I take them maybe twice or three times a month, depends. Then I take diazepam 10mg, then norco 10-325. I try not to take 3 a day as I don't want to get dependent on them. Then I take amitiza 24 mcg, and Xanax 0.5mg. I try not to take them, maybe one a day. I don't want to get hooked on them either. And lastly, I take phentermine once in the morning. What will this show up as on a drug test? Lately I've been sick throwing up because of the headaches and I sweat bad if I'm outside in the heat trying to do small things. Will these come out from the sweat and can I re-take them after I do get sick and throw up?

Hi, I had a gastric bypass op in 2004. Lost 75kg. I also suffer from lipoedema and have extra large legs/bottom half of legs and upper arms. Have a bad back, had cortisone injections in both sacroiliac joints. I get bloated/pain under left ribcage like a stitch in your side when you run and are unfit. I am petrified to pick up a weight or have swollen legs, yet was given Lyrica for the pain? I am very confused. Also on hrt and was given Salpraz for my stomach.

Two yrs ago I went cold turkey from 160mg oxycontin a day for six months. Was a living nightmare. Now I am planning detoxing from two 30mg morphine a day for about six months. Should I expect the same nightmare? ## HEY, I JUST DID IT THIS MONTH, WELL JULY TO AUG, AND I STARTED TO BREAK IN HALF MY MEDICINE, FROM 4 30mg OXYCONTIN & 2 60 MG OF MORPHINE,...DAMAGE FROM CANCER, I WANTED TO GO DOWN SLOWER, BECAUSE IT WASNT WORKING THAT GREAT FOR THAT TIME FRAME,...I HATED FEELING LIKE A PRISONER ALWAYS ON MY MED's OMG,..U LIVE AROUND THEM.

Since I started the 60mg op I have been feeling lots of discomfort in my chest, like pressure against my heart like a heart attack, but what I think is going on is it's backing up my bowels causing all this discomfort I never felt when I was just on norco. I've read here where op causes constipation, I'm wondering if this could be the reason for all the discomfort I'm in? I've noticed a change in my bowel movements, like smaller sized stools, not nearly as much is coming out like it used to do. Should I consider using a stool softener or a laxative to see if my discomfort subsides or should I head to the ER and say I'm having a heart attack only to find out I've got side effects happening related to this new drug I'm on? This feeling of constant pressure ...

I was given a dose of taradol, 2mg morphine and dexamethasone through IV to help with pain due to a flare up from my ulcerative colitis. It's helped a lot but not completely. Now I'm wondering how long will this last? I have a long drive and work before my GI appt. f.u. I'm hoping to remain comfortable for at least the next day and a half. Pls help?

Hello, I am new to Newport News, Hampton, VA. I have been under the care of US Military for almost 15 years. When my husband retired from the Army and move back to Virginia. I was cut off of my pain medication. I was told that they will not be taking care of my long term chronic pain, that it was for active duty only. I was in shock. I was seriously injured after 18 years of owning and installing wallpaper working with liquid herbicide, pesticide, plasticizers, vinyl acetate. It destroyed my hands and feet, it comes out in the form of hundreds of blisters, peripheral neuropathy: toxic neuropathy, toxic encephalopathy,severe dermatitis of both hands and feet, bladder damage, chronic fatigue syndrome, reactive airway disease. I am need of a good pain specialist. I have been on Oxycontin,20 m

I have nerve pain from breaking verterbraes L4 and L5 two years ago. Also i broke L2 & L3 many years ago. My GP put me on 10mg Targin, which is making my who body itchy which is driving me bonkers. I am also on 150mg of Lyrica which is doing nothing. I was on a higher dose then he brought me down to what i am taking now. Panadeine forte helps my pain abit but i dont want to take more than 4 a day. I want to be pain free

I understand that 8 percocet a day is the maximum dosage. My problem is that it actually takes that much to keep my pain under control and allow me to live a functional life, yet any time I even hint to my Dr that 3 a day just isn't working well enough I get drug panels, accused of being an addict and so forth (my drug panels always come up clear as I don't abuse any drugs). My question is what are my options? Tried fentanyl, oxycontin, etc (all nightmares). Can't change Dr's as he has said he will put me in databases as an addict. Please help. ## You can take one Percocet 10/325, as frequently as every four hours. But, if someone has chronic pain, most, if not all drs, are putting them on Extended Release meds like MS Contin which is Morphine. ## Hi Jim, I'd also en...

my baby 6years old ,suffering sever stomachache can iuse dollopar please suggest me ## Given the age of your child, it would be best to not give them any medication, without their doctor's approval. As explained by the NIH, it is far too easy to overdose a child, or to give them a medication that may potentially be toxic. Additionally, this medication contains Acetaminophen, which is a mild analgesic, but it will not likely do much to help with such stomach pain. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness and headache. Is there anything else I can help with?
