Is it OK to take...it exp in 2016 it says hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Barbiturate 7.5mg ## Hydrocodone is not a barbiturate, it is an opiate. And no, liquid medications tend to go bad much faster than solid formulations and, once expired, they may actually make you sick, if you take 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

Which one works better 5 325 or the K 18 I have chronic back pain for more than 8years & it's getting worse I have herniated discs, scoliosis, sciatica problems I suffer from fibromyalgia, I get pain all over my body they've done everything but all I can see is, me on a wheel chair in the future I just turned 50 but I feel young which one do u recommend ## Hello, Millie! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in so much pain! It really depends on which one works best for you. The tablet with the K 18 marking only contains 5mgs of Oxycodone, while the other couples it with Acetaminophen, which can sometimes augment the action of the opiate in some people.

How are you? Too many medications or not is a relative issue, it really depends on the person and the condition(s) being treated. There are people that take less than you and people who take far more. The question is, how are they working for you and how do you feel while taking them? Can you still function and stay awake? The FDA lists the typical side effects of Lyrica as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings and weigh...

My doctor prescribed Prozac, but my dentist prescribed oxycodone for oral surgery. I read that the combination is dangerous. My question is when can I start taking Prozac safely? I have taken oxycodone 5-325 for a week. I have stopped today 5/11/2016 ## Hello, Chrisden! How are you? The main issue with this combination is that the Oxycodone in the Percocet can increase the effect of Prozac, depending on the dosage and other medications a person may be taking, it could be too much for some people and may result in overdose or serotonin syndrome. It's not that they can't ever be taken together, but it must be done very cautiously. Unless your doctor instructs otherwise, you should be able to start your Prozac within a day or two of stopping the Percocet. The FDA lists its typical ...

I just started taking Percocets it's only been 3 weeks I have dry mouth what can I do to prevent it ## The same thing is happening to me I drink tons of water all day long, constantly put lip balm on and it's not helping. If you find an answer or remedy please let me know! ## Unfortunately, that can be a side effect of many medications and opiates are very well known to cause it in most people that take them. As reported by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and constipation. Sometimes sucking on small candies can help, as well as sipping fruit juice, or ginger ale, unless your on a restricted diet and can't have these things. Does anyone else have any tips or advice to offer?

Please help me with pain doctor in Massachusetts i just got taken off ocycodone 30 mg and need a doc that writes and helps people in pain ## Hello, Marc! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. Why were you taken off of it? Do you currently have a PCP that you see regularly that might be able to refer you to someone? If so, that might be the quickest and easiest way to find the help you need. The FDA lists 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. Can anyone recommend a good doctor in that area? ## Hi Marc: I know this is very delayed, as I see you posted in January. Their is a doctor in Lowell, Eric Romanowsky,...

I have been taking 10mg oxycodone every 6 hrs and 20mg oxycontin for 5 yrs. I never run out and never ask for an early script. Last month on the 2nd my dr did a urine test. When i went in this month i was told the dr wont see me cuz it came back neg. I told and showed them a test I took on 11th for a job that showed positive! I told them I never ever don't take meds. What can I do? Surely taking them the same way for 5 yrs it would have built up in my system? This is first and only test the Dr ever did. Please help. I'm at a loss as they won't redo. I'm in severe pain. I also take synthroid 200mcg, Lunesta, Prozac and Aleve.

Okay, so on weekends i take 3 10/325's Hydrocodone, I had a follow up interview which resulted in a job offer today. My last time using was 11 pm Saturday. I have until 930 tomorrow to take the test. Body: 6ft 185 lb 14% bmi Is there a chance it will show up on my drug test? Is there anything i can take to help clean up, laxatives, niacin? Test Requested by employer: 765830 10+MDMA+Oxyco+crt-Bund - Stressing out a little but some info could greatly be appreciated. ## I'm 125lbs. I take niacin and prescribed hydrocodone. However, the last two urine drug screens I've been negative for my opiates. ## Do you still take hydrocodone while taking the niacin and like how many miligrams atime and how often

Plain orange oblong tablet. No marking ## Hello, Pecos! How are you? If there is are no markings on the tablet then they are not Hydrocodone, which the FDA classifies 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. All prescription drug products in the U.S. are required by law to have unique imprints to enable their identification, in case of emergency. Something that has no markings is most likely an over the counter product, of some type. Where was it found? ## Oblong Orange Scored Pill with no writing is Hydrocodone 10mg/APAP 325mg. They came out in 2016 as a way for Vertisec to produce generic drugs.

I have a friend who keeps stealing all my pain meds, and I need them and take them as prescribed. She takes all them, so now I want to set up decoys. ## Lesson to be taught... Call the Police. ## Hi Dawn, From an outsiders perspective, it would seem to me that your purposeful confrontation to her about this reoccurring incident (expressing the sheer seriousness of the matter; questioning her; forgiving her; and making her pay for your meds + interest for copays / stress) is probably the most honorable approach to setting things straight with a "friend" and just being done with that relationship altogether. I think the idea of wreaking havoc on her bowels would only last so long before she caught on, but maybe if you were to let her know (upon confronting her) that the police may...

I was prescribed 10/325 Hydrocodone, and 5/325 Oxycodone. Which is stronger for pain after rotator cuff surgery? Neither is doing much good right now. ## ask if you can take vistril with the hydrocodone it will make it stronger and ease your belly so you don't get sick ## In those dosages, they are probably about equal, strength wise. ## To me the hydro/Tylenol & oxy/Tylenol gives the same relief. I've been on both to me anytime they have Tylenol or ibuprofen did nothing for my pain. Dr put me on oxycodone 10mg 6xs a day that was no more do to deaths related to ODS. I've had 3 pain Dr's in the last year due to the ODS have been under the care 2 of the DRs. So their being investigated. So here I sit with pain that left me mainly in bed and tears and to top it off I co...

I have been on it for several months but I can't say it is very helpful. Also I seem to have a lot of trouble with achy legs, but I donteantto increase the dose and get addicted. Anyone else having this problem? ## Hello, Tina! How are you doing? I'm sorry that you're in pain. Not every medication works for everyone that tries it, unfortunately, so this might not be the right choice to help you. 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. When I tried it, while on pain management years ago, it worked very well for me, but when a friend tried it from his doctor it did nothing for him, at all. What other medications have you...

On my urine test one category has measured results ng/ml which on my oxycodone it has 7,504. Then on the next category over it says creatinine normalized results 6,816. Then a category that Asus cut off ng/ml 50. I would like to know what all this means. If some of my levels are way off, is this how I can tell?

Plz don't judge. Two questions. First my info...32 yr old female...5'5 175 lbs...urine ph of 7. Every morning I drink two tbsp if apple cider vinegar...redbulls and Gatorade daily also pee at least once every two hrs...I took 50mgs of percocet throughout the day fri and 5 mg sat at noon. I had my ua at 6 pm Monday (twelve panel)...would it be negative? They didn't tell me either way and Idk if they do tell me or just tell my po. This was for outpatient treatment. I would think I would have to sign something if I failed or for them to send it in....but next question...Today Tuesday I took 60 mg of morphine er...I may have a twelve panel ua cup on Thursday between 6 pm and 9 pm...Will I pass?

i took a 15 mg morphine tablet intervinsle how long will it take to get out of my pea test ## Morphine is a potent narcotic pain reliever. However, if you only took on tablet, it should be out of your system within 48 hours. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## I take Injectable Morphine 60mg 3 times a day how long will It take to get out of my system? ## 2-4 for days if u have a normal metabolic rate ## What if you took 2 and drink plenty of water will it still be out of you urine in 48 hours cause I have a.

Hi, I've been taking codeine phosphate, or co-proxamol, dihydrcodeine, etc. for 16 years for necrotic arthritis and lower spine damage/trapped nerves, etc. Two questions. What would be a sensible amount of oxycodone for a doctor to prescribe? Mine reckoned 2 x 5mg daily and they had no effect what so ever.. Second question, if I sleep more than 4 hours at any time, day or night, even if I take 2 x 30 mg dihydrocodeine as I fall asleep, I wake up hyper-ventilating. Could this be caused by my body having gotten used to compensating in my autonomous breathing reaction and now when codeine gets too low it speeds up too much? ## The breathing issue actually sounds like you may have sleep apnea, which the codeine could contribute to, but only your doctor can give you a definitive diagnosi...

I've been suffering from chronic pain issues since 2006. I recently started going to a new clinic since January of this year. I have fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, neck issue's, spine problems that start from my neck down my upper middle and lower spine, nerve damage in my left arm that starts from my neck down my upper arm and in the hands & fingers. The pain is horrible and never goes away, this includes my entire body, along with insomnia, depression, anxiety, RA, arthritis, carpal tunnel and from time to time it causes shooting pain in my legs. Also for my anxiety I get 90 clonazep g and methacarbamol for back spasms. So far this regime seems to help but 6 dilaudid a day along with 1 30mg oxycontin and 1 kadian are barely getting me through the month. I ...
