Pain Relief Forums (Page 430)

My oncologist thinks I take too much pain meds, 130 mg MS Contin , dilaudid 4mg, and Percocet for break through pain every 4 hours. The MS Contin is 2 times daily. After I take the MS Contin I start getting breakthrough pain about 1 1/2 hours. He said there is no way I can take that and be awake. Had to sign contract no one else can prescribe me pain meds. And I have to be subjected to drug panels to make sure I'm taking them! Hell yes I Am taking them. I just want some reliefs so my QoL will be better and I can live before I die. ## Hello, Mack64! How are you doing? I am so sorry that you're suffering and about the hassles your doctor is giving you. That is very unusual, they are supposed to liberal prescribing to cancer patients, with intractable pain, and you should be dosed ...

Someone please post the names of pain management physicians in Louisiana. Thank you. Everyone seems to give advise but no information we can use to get help. ## Put Pain Management Doctors and your city and state in google and the names of the drs in your area will come up. You can also go to websites like Healthgrades and Vitals to find the name of pain management drs in your area and things like the education and training of the dr. No one can tell you what a dr will and won't prescribe for anyone. If you have insurance, contact your insurance company and ask for pain management drs in your area that accept your insurance. Healthgrades and VItals do list insurances that drs accept, but the list is Not current.

What does it look like the imprint etc.? ## Hello, Danielle! How are you? There is no 100mg Oxymorphone dosage available, The maximum available is 10mgs. 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 are the markings on the tablet in question? That is what would enable me to check the information on it for you. Can you please post back with these additional details?

Can I take hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10/325 tab and Gabapentin 300 mg for body aches froom cold flu? ## Hello, Carol! How are you? Gabapentin likely won't help much, it is not an actual analgesic. It's classified by the FDA as an anticonvulsant that can help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders, but it takes 4 to 5 weeks to teach its full level of efficacy in the body. The Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen is an analgesic that may help, if your doctor approves of your taking it. It is classified 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?

Found a white pill with 167 in scored on the other side and my sisters room she swears insane ibuprofen 800 and my mom are suspicious can anybody please help answer what is still is ## This tablet is manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries and they list it as containing 100mgs of Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. If she's been taking them, it would be best to take her to her doctor to be monitored, because a sudden withdrawal can cause rebound high blood pressure and elevated heart rate, which could put her life in danger. Is there anything else I can help with?

I usually get a round pill for my prescription. Today my refill has a long straight white look with ip204 on it. Is it percoset or oxycodone? ## Hello, John! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, so it is a generic for Percocet. 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?

That is correct, Qualitest Pharmaceuticals lists this tablet as containing 750mgs of Methocarbamol, which is a muscle relaxant. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything I can help with?

this pill is very smooth on one side and has a deep score on the other side one looks like a lite pink or peach, someone told me it was for pain, but i would like alittle more information about it before i took it, i have a very bad back and they said this would help with the pain, please let me know what these pill are ## Hello, Pandora! How are you? Are there any markings on it, other than the score line? If not, then it's most likely an over the counter product of some type, so it may be difficult to narrow down and identification. However, I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else have an idea of what this might be? ## This is Percocet 10 mg. It is a sample medication that is given to doctors offices, not for resale! Hope this has hel...

I have a Kentucky Licenses and went to a pain clinic in GA, they prescribed me Oxycodone 15mg and Hydrocodone 10mg. I have been to several pharmacies in Kentucky and cannot get them filled. Does anyone know where I can get my prescriptions filled rather here in Kentucky or out of state in GA or TN?? Please Help at all if possible, thanks! ## Hi Tommy, If you can't get your prescriptions filled locally, have you considered opting for an online pharmacy that can ship you your meds? I personally haven't used this method for getting a prescription, but I know there are a handful of sites out there that are safe and legal to order from amongst the swarm of bad ones: Legitimate online pharmacies that carry the VIPPS seal are listed at: nabp.net/programs/accreditation/vipps/find-a-vipp...

Does anyone know if/when sandoz fentanyl patches will become available again? ## No, I'm sorry, I don't have any information on any current problems. Have you tried asking your pharmacy? They'd have access to the most current information on any availability problems, since they are alerted immediately by the FDA and the information we have is generally delayed, since this site does not manufacture, nor dispense any medications. This is a very potent narcotic analgesic and it may cause side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, constipation and dry mouth. ## I think it is gone I was on it and it worked great the only one left is Watson brand it works almost as good as the sandose and it has the gel in it the other ones do not work try them I think you will like them good luck ...

That is what would enable me to identify them for you, the color doesn't mean anything. Can you please post back with this information? 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. ## yes! I TAKE ROXY 20 MG ON ONE SIDE IMPRINT IS N P AND THE OTHER SIDE HAS 14 IMPRINTED ON IT

Percocet contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, the maximum dosage available contains 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen.

Good Morning, I need help with this situation. I also have deterioation of my spine.I was sent to a Pain specialist. I was put on the generic Percocet 10/325 for 2 years . I was then changed to Fentanyl 50 mg. and taken off of the Percocet completely. I started feeling dizzy, my blood pressure went up, I started shaking, I could continue to go on. I noticed when I take my zanax I felt better, but it keeps coming back. I believe I'm going through withdrawal from stopping the Percocet. I am really scared, and need to know if this is possible? and what will I need to do? I need help because I am really scared and do want this to stop. ## Hello, Marsha! How are you? Fentanyl is much stronger than the Oxycodone in the Percocet, so it isn't likely that you're experiencing withdraw...

Does anyone know what the new Oxytrex tablets look like? ## Hello Mary! How are you? Oxytrex is not available, yet. It is currently still in clinic trials. It combines Oxycodone with a low dose Naltrexone and so far, has shown to provide better pain relief, with less risk of physical dependence. 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. Do you have a tablet you're questioning? If so, please post back with the markings and description, so I can research it for you. Thanks! ## Looks like an oxycodone green 15 ir.

I've taken percocet 5's and 7.5's. Before and after knee surgeries. 7.5's are the best, but please everyone. The withdrawal from everyday use of percocet and especially oxycodone/oxycontin is like total death. You just want to die. The withdrawal lasts what seems like forever. Please be careful. Do not take heavy doses or for longer than 2 weeks tops. It's one of the worst withdrawals ever.

I took a half a lortab on Tuesday at 1pm and drank lots of water.. on Thursday at 9am I took a panel test and passed. This was sent to a lab. Will it pass a lab test? I hadn't taken anything for days before that. ## What's a panel test? I know I've taken hydrocodien the night before a test and I've passed before.. It doesn't stay in your system long at all ## What's a panel test? I know I've taken hydrocodien the night before a test and I've passed many times on a UA test.

I am in horrific pain constantly. I cannot afford help that I must do myself. Please, if anyone out ther who can help me rid my pain, I will be forever indebted . ## Dear Magnolia, I'm truly sorry to hear about the level of pain you're constantly having to cope with... When it comes to being able to afford meds, have you considered utilizing an Rx savings card to help cut down on their cost? Rx savings cards, such as the one MedsChat offers (here) could potentially save you anywhere from 15-75% off your prescription. Another option would be to look into various patient assistance programs that some manufacturers offer to patients who meet certain income criteria. However you may have to discuss this with your doctor for more specific details on how to apply for those programs. D...

I have been on 30 mg morphine ir tablets two tablets every 6 hours and I'm always in pain. When I try to wean off it's crazy, I get jittery nausea, diarrhea, anxious and much more. I have been on it for over 14 years and now nothing else seems to work. My body is immune! And my DR won't give me nothing else. I get it for migraines and back pain!
