Pain Relief Forums (Page 434)

I recently was changed to embeda30mg time released from 30mg ms cotton time released. I know why the change an I think it was genius. Is there a big change in the pain relief or does it work better? I'm all in on safety and the more meds.they can do this to is fantastic. Any way just curious about the change in my meds. ## Hello, Sunshine! How are you? Just like with any other medication, it varies from person to person, there are some people that have found it works great and others got no pain relief from it. The only way to see how it works for you is by trying it. Have you taken it, yet? 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 constipat...

What is this pill? I was told it's Hydrocodone from Russia but I need confirmation. ## Hi mijaja, Any pill with no imprint could literally be anything from A to Z. I think your best bet in this type of scenario would be to have it analyzed by a lab or drug panel to at least verify the presence of opiates/etc... Did you get this pill from a pharmacy on the web or through some other means? If I had to guess I would agree with you that it's probably not of US origin, being that the FDA requires imprints on their prescription drugs. However, it doesn't rule out the possibility of something over-the-counter or foreign and for that reason alone I think you'll need a more trustworthy (or evidence-based) way to verify and measure its contents.

sm round white with k/18, found don't know if oxycodone or oxycodone or what milligram ## Hello, Dawn! How are you? Yes, this tablet is manufactured by KVK Tech and they list as containing 5mgs of Oxycodone, in a regular release formulation. 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's a 5 mg oxycodone if its white with a k and 18. A 10 mg is pink with a k and the number 56

After moving from las Vegas to Arizona pain doctors refusing to prescribe pain medicine. I use a motorized wheelchair have osteoarthritis , spondolishesis and have recently broken my rib and damaged my wrist and aggravated a rotary cuff tear. I was on methodone and oxycodone for breakthrough pain in las Vegas as well as physical therapy that helped me function. Now I am writhing in agony with no pain killers and no relief in sight. I want to die because I cannot even sleep due to the excruciating pain. I am allergic to uv rays and cannot go outside during the day without ensuing painful blindness. To top it off my electric wheelchair is broke down and local companies won't fix it even though I have Medicare and tricare. I am stuck and dying of pain. Dogs are treated better in this c...

small mint green pill ## On posts such as this, without more details, there is actually no way for anyone to confirm whether or not the tablet in question was Oxycodone. The reason for this is due to the fact that the colors actually don't mean anything, it is the markings on a tablet or capsule that enable it to be identified. If they wanted to, any given manufactured could toss the proper coloring agents into all of their pills to make them a mint green color, the could make them all round and as close to the same size as they could, there are no regulations preventing them from doing so. That said, there are several round, green tablets that contain Oxycodone in the regular release formulation that is a generic for Roxicodone, but as I said, with only this limited information pro...

I NEED TO KNOW THE OVER THE COUNTER PHARMACY PRICE OF 80 MG OXYCONTIN TIME RELEASE ## Oxycontin is a prescription only medication, since it contains a very potent narcotic, which is Oxycodone, therefore it can't be purchased over the counter. It requires a doctor's prescription. In addition, there is no set price. It is going to vary from pharmacy to pharmacy and depending on the amount of tablets required to fill the prescription. There is no generic, so it can be pretty expensive. Are there any other questions or comments? ## Do you mean cash price? You want to pay for your prescription without using insurance? meaning you have a written prescription from the doctor for the 80mg OxyContin.... If this is the case this med is disgustingly expensive.... For 20 pills in NY it is a...

I want to see a list of everything that's inside of roxy 30mg ## Hello, Kevin! How are you? I'm sorry, but since it is available as a generic, I can't possibly list the inactive ingredients of all that are on the market. Different manufacturers can use different fillers. Is there a particular one you want to check? Are there any markings on the tablet? That is what would enable me to check for you to see what it contains. The FDA classifies Roxicodone 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 have been taking Tramadol 50 mg 3times a day and have been told my drug screen was positive for morphine. I also take an antihistamine daily. Could the combination of the 2 give the false positive? I know about the potential for errors as I'm a Medical Technologist who performed screening testing for years. ## Will poppy seed show up as an opiate for oxycodone or OxyContin?

so she couldnt find the hydros and found a 30 mg oxycodone and did two using iv. than the next day did two hydros 8's using the same method as before. she also had not been using the oxycodone bc she had the hydros and only used the 30's bc that is all she could find. she went and bought a home drug test the kind in the cup that you turn on it's side. and it showed up positive for oxycodone and positive for opiates. it's understandable why the oxy showed up but why would it show positive for opi? all she did that week was suboxene oxycodone and hydromorphine. also she did some reseaarch and it said that dilaudid does show up as an opiaite so this is very confusing. ## Usually a home urine drug test is not going to show dilaudid (hydromorphone). The opiate that most home ...

i took oxycodone 5 last night, would i pass a drug test 12 hours later? ## What type of test? If it is a urine test, then no, it isn't likely that you will pass, because Oxycodone is generally detectable in them for approximately 4 to 5 days, after last dosing. ## I took1/3 of a perk 15mg at 4pm on monday n I did a urine test at 1pm on tuesday .. In between I drank two monster energy drinks, 3 cans of soda, and 3 20 oz. cups of coffee ... Will I pass my drug test? ## I took two 500/5 349 watsons on Thursday night and I just took a test on Thursday afternoon. Will I pass ## I Hope You Fail... ## I took an oxycodone 5 tonight. Will it be out of my system by February 22? I have a urine test. ## Man dude that's a d**** thing to say. Stop being a judgmental d**** face

I took a half of hydrocodone 10\325 mg at 12 a.m. I went to work at 3 p.m. & had a seizure & fell on concrete busting my head. I went to emergency room by ambulance, I got 8 staples in my head, had to do a urine test about 8:30 p.m.. How long does hydrocodone stay in your system? I don't take pain medication alot, but I have some messed up discs in my back.

Hi, my Percocet prescription bottle got water in it and 40 pills were left in it. Now they have dissolved into mush. If I measure out 1 pill How much would 1 pill measure at? I don't want to take too much at one time and I really need these pills for pain. The strength is 10/325 also. Thank you. ## Hi Chad, Honestly from your description of how they dissolved into mush, it sounds like trying to salvage them may be a lost cause. I'm not sure what good this would do, but if I were you I'd consider taking a photograph and/or any evidence of what happened to your doctor, in hopes that maybe he/she will have sympathy to write for the remainder of the script. If this is not possible, I'd even see if your doctor might be willing to write for anything at all to help avoid/cope w...

my Dr has suggested that I cut Fentanyl 12.5 patches in half to reduce dosage and eventually stop using them, I have been using them for about three years/3.5yrs But I am confused as the leaflet says not to cut them. I would like to stop using them and this has been his only advice. ## Hello, Dewi! How are you? It depends on the type of patch, it seems there are some that can be safely cut, but it would be best to ask your pharmacist, before doing so, to be sure. 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? ## There are differnt types of patches some have a liquid dispencing method and would not ...

can I cut a 30 milligram controlled morphine into 15 mg. Without all immediate effects? ## No, this is a time released formulation of Morphine, so it is not safe to break, crush or cut it, as that could result in getting to much of the medication at once, which may result in overdose. 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 was taking 4 80 mg oxys daily my doc put me on 2 100 mg teva morphines will it help the same and will i go through withdraw thank you ## The equivalent dose would actually be 120mgs of Morphine to equal each 80mg Oxycodone that you were taking, so you've actually been put on a lower dosage. Thus, it may not handle your pain as well as the Oxycodone did and yes, you may experience some withdrawal. Learn more Morphine details here. Have you started taking them yet? Are they helping any? ## Im taking 150mg of morphine sulfate Er cos i was taking 180 oxycodone.Will the morphine help me from withdrawals from the oxys?

I just moved to North Dakota from Texas and in Texas I had a pain Dr. for extreme migraines, they call it chemo brain, as a result from when I was on 3 years of chemo. Well it's harder to find a pain dr here than what I thought, they'll all 2 months out so are family Drs. I take 12 15mg oxycodone daily and I ran out 2 days ago went to the ER because I was hurting so bad and he gave me 20 4mg Percocets. They're are gone now I took the last one when I woke up. Since those 2 days I was taking Percocets does that count as tapering to help the withdrawal a little. I have no idea what I'm in for and I cannot find anyone to prescribe me any sort of withdrawal medicine, that's all I'm worried about! ## Brittnay- have you looked into suboxone doctors to get you off the ox...

how this compare to hydrcodone ## Hello, Janis! How are you? Codeine is actually much weaker, each of these tablets is equivalent to about 5mgs of Hydrocodone. 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am severe pain, not sure if its my gallbladder or my stomach ulcer. I was given norco at one point and i am done. I need a pain reliever, i found acetaminophen/ cod 300, but they expired in 2011. Can i still use them?

How long after taking Tylenol 3 is it safe to take Norco? ## Hello, Kellie! How are you? Have those both been prescribed for you? It's very uncommon for someone to be permitted to double up on the Acetaminophen that these both contain, due to the dangerous risks of overdose, which could be fatal. The FDA classifies this medications as narcotic analgesics, so they have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. It would be best not to mix them, or to replace one with the other, if switching medications, at the next dosing time, with your doctor's approval. ## They like u to wait 4 to 6 hours before switching to another type of pain medication but there is actually no drug interaction bewtween th...
