Can I take metoprolol verapamil lexapro and hydroco togethrr ## Hello, Sissy! How are you? That should be fine, if they've all been prescribed for you by your doctor and your blood pressure and heart rate aren't going too low and your doctor is monitoring you regularly. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, bradycardia, increased urination and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

My doctor recently changed my prescription from 5 / 200 vicoprofen to norco 7.5 / 325. I have one pill left of my 5 / 200 vicoprofen. Is it okay if I take it with a norco 7.5 / 325 for breakthrough pain relief? ## Hello, Azaxel! How are you? No, it would be best to just switch cleanly from one to the other, since they both contain Acetaminophen, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise. 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?

Hi I always run out of my Pain Medication 1 day before my next appointment I already feel like I'm having withdrawals in only one day. I have Morphine ES 15mg would this help me until I see the doctor. ## Hello, Jeff! How are you? What medication do you usually take and why are you running out early? Morphine may help, but it depends on what you've been taking, some opiates are stronger than it is. The FDA classifies it 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.

I was taking morophine sulfate 30 mg tabs for 3 years, but the pharmacies in florida don't want to fill this anymore, so I went through severe withdrawals for 3 months or so. I'm told i can get back on, but would rather not, so I am now on Percocet 10-325 and they just dont work as well. But my question is this, is it normal to sweat alot when taking them? I can hardly get dressed cause when I do I immediately get another hot flash as I call them. I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago, and perhaps it is form that, but I just figured they would be over by now. And when I dont take them, I feel like my skin is clammy. Is this normal? ## Yes, that certainly can happen to some people that take it. It's due to the way it affects brain chemicals, kind of throws off your temperature reg...

I took a tramadol around 1 pm today. I now need another pain reliever, was wondering how long should I wait to take Tylenol with codiene? ## Hello, Jen! How are you? It is best to be cautious, because Tramadol can sometimes initiate withdrawals in people that are opiate dependent, if you try to mix them. 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. What dosage is the Tramadol that you're taking? Each 50mg dose of Tramadol is equivalent to 33.33mgs of Codeine, so your Tramadol might actually be stronger.

How do I know if my 60 mg morphine capsule has been tampered with? ## What gives you reason to suspect they've been tampered with? What are the markings on them? Do they look the same as when you received them from your pharmacy? 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.

I take LYRICA at Midnite in hope it will make me less tired during the day but still quiet my damaged trigeminal nerve. Do the fatigue effects wear off while the pain relief remains? ## Hello, PT! How are you? Yes, such side effects are usually transient and typically go away in a few weeks, once your body gets used to the medication. The FDA lists the other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings and weight gain. Is there anything else I can help with?

Trying to figure out what this pill is from a photo. Doesn't seem to have any markings on it but might be on the other side of the pill, however there are multiple pills in the photo and no markings on any of them. It seems to be a dark blue/purple color on half and the other half is cream tinted white. If you have any idea what this could be please help!! I don't believe the person who posted the photo is taking it for medical reasons so I'd also like to know if it might be a street drug?? Thank you ## Sounds like the same ones I got while in Mexico. They are tylenol/codeine. ## Mexican ultram/tramadol. Its a non opiod pain med used alot more since opiods are strongly abused. ## I see each of the last two posts are stating that this is something different than what the othe...

Does anyone have any information about Mintran as a treatment for Fibromyalgia? My primary care physician prescribed Lyrica but I didn't like the way it made me feel, especially with having to work. I went to my chiropractor today and he recommended the Mintran. Anybody have any thoughts on this? ## Hello, Shelby! How are you? Min-Tran is just a supplement product that is claimed to support a healthy nervous systems and to help maintain emotional balance. It's listed as containing Calcium, Iodine and Magnesium. Thus, there's really no harm in trying it, if your doctor approves, but there's no guarantee that it will help with anything. Due to the magnesium in it, the FDA warns that it may cause diarrhea in some people that take it. Is there anything else I can help with? ...

I have UPMC health plan and they are terrible about prescribing appropriate medicine for my chronic back pain. I'm wondering if any other physicians in the area would be more accomadating? ## If you are genuinely in crippling, horrid chronic pain, as I have been for 25 years, one of two things. See Dr. John Moossy and have an intrathecal pain pump trial, as I did or move to California or Nevada.......where I hope God will let me make it.

I have been a consumer of marijuana for approximately 15 years. I stopped two days ago and I've taken one Klonopin and two Xanax last night. I have to pass a hair drug test and I bought stuff to pass. Is stopping for a short amount of time and only having 5 to 7 days to detox my hair going to be enough to pass a test?

I just got my result from a blood test today it was taken last month, I take oxy 30 and for breakthrough I also take oxy 10. Both I take 3 times per day. My blood test does not show that I am taking the med. This is a first time this has ever hàppened. I always take the meds I look forward to the relief. Thanks.PS can I also request them to check my hair I want to prove the truth. Looking forward to your responds thanks again. ## Tell them to do a urine if its not in your blood that stays in for 5 days

has tylenol been taken out of lortab 10/500 ## It hasn't been taken out, but reduced because of the effects on the liver. ## FDA now requires all prescription meds to have no more than 325 mg of tylenol in each dose. There is a form of Hydrocodone that does not contain tylenol. It is an Extended Release, it is Zohydro. ## Lortab 10/500 contains 10 mg of hydrocodone and 500mgs. of acetaminifen (Tylenol) if ya need something strong go on up to percocet (Oxycodine) and come in strengths from 5 MG's of oxy all the way up to 80 MG's. of oxy per pill

Yes I know it's 2016 and everyone is all under fire and very serious scrutinized just for being a pain patient. I can find neither my bottle of Oxycodone nor my bottle of my very small dose ADD med that does next to nothing for a disorganized, ever mind changing, brain numbing procrastination! I'm feeling very nervous and distraught and overwhelmed right now about all of this and I don't know what to do. Please do not bash me about those things I already know, because on top of all of those feelings, I'm feeling downright stupid and irresponsible for not paying attention. I was diagnosed with ADD (runs in the family) just over a year ago and like I mentioned my ADD med dosage is the lowest ineffective dosage available because for reasons unknown to me, my dummy of a Psyc...

Is there a brown colored pill for the 60mg oxycontin OP... my new Prescription is brown with the number 60 on one side and And the letters op are both capitalized on the reverse side? If anyone can help please comment!!! ## Hi, Paul! Sorry that it's not working well for you. There have actually been many posts similar to yours, since the formulation of the Oxycodone was changed. Many people have said that it doesn't work well for them anymore, plus it seems to be causing some odd, unexpected side effects. The original formulation is no longer available, you can only get Oxycontin in this new formulation that's been specially formulated to help prevent abuse. Learn more Oxycontin details here. What I'd suggest is speaking to your doctor to see if there is an alternative m...

I bought fentanyl / fentermina 30 mg in Mexico it's a small off white pill with letters apo on one side and a line down the other. Is this what it is supposed to look like? ## I got the same things yesterday. Did you find them to be real? Did they work? ## If you filled your prescription in Mexico I would recommend contacting the pharmacy there for any additional details pertaining to this medication. Perhaps they can at least provide you with manufacturer information as a means of verifying its legitimacy. Since countries outside of the US don't have the same rigorous evaluations and standards that the FDA requires, another option that may feel more secure is to have its contents analyzed by a lab or drug panel. Just going off the description alone it still seems like too much ...

my pharmacist told me that watson is discontinuing the hydrocodone blue 10/500 rx, and the only ones we would be able to get is the white generic, the white ones make me goofy, so why are they not going to produce the blue 10/500 anymore or is she full of a crap as an independant pharmacy, family owned?? ## From the information I've just found, your pharmacist is correct. In January of 2011, the U.S. FDA asked manufacturers to start limiting the amount of Acetaminophen in these combination medication products to only 325mgs and to discontinue the 500mg and higher versions. They wanted the changes to all be made by January of 2014. Some companies have already done so and the rest are slowly instituting the change to have all their products in compliance by the designated time. That d...

I have fibro, connective tissue disease and RA I was put on lyrica 75 mg and I wanted to know how long before I can see relief from it? ## Hello, Goofy! How are you? It will take about 4 to 6 weeks, before it reaches its full level of efficacy in your body and you know whether or not it is working for you. Side effects to it may include nausea, dizziness, weight changes and mood swings. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I was diagnosed with Fibro about a year ago. RA said that I had the worse case in the bottom portion of Florida. I was put on Lyrica 200 mg 3 times a day with being told that I will be uppered in the dose. I had so many side effects from problems thinking, speaking, seeing, hearing, and many others. I stopped it abruptly and experienced horrible illness of cold ...
