I have stopped taking perc 5mg on Sunday still feeling a little funny how much longer will this last??? ## It really depends on how long you were taking it and how much you were taking regularly. It could take anywhere from a few days to about 2 weeks. This is classified by the FDA as a narcotic, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and withdrawal effects, if you stop taking it suddenly are normal and may include nausea, headache, rebound pain, diarrhea and dizziness. Are you feeling any better, yet? ## Withdrawal from Percocets, tramadol, darvon, etc... will make you go through tremendous pain if it was used for pain. Nausea, hot and cold spells are expected but I believe you feel crummy for 3 days but can still function. People who withdraw off of morphine, fentanyl, and othe...

I thought this might be of interest: Walgreens Agrees to Pay a Record Settlement of $80 Million for Civil Penalties under the Controlled Substances Act- "Walgreens' alleged failure to sufficiently report suspicious orders was a systematic practice that resulted in at least tens of thousands of violations and allowed Walgreens' retail pharmacies to order and receive at least three times the Florida average for drugs such as oxycodone." Source: justice.gov/dea/divisions/mia/2013/mia061113.shtml ## Thanks for taking the time to share this bit of info with us. Walgreens eventually had it coming to them with all the alleged government surveillance going on. Apparently they were filling customer prescriptions that they knew or should have known were not for legitimate medical ...

Finally, I have found something that relieves my terrible cluster headaches. I have had them for over a year, been on verapimil (which did not work), and suffer horribly. This medicine is a miracle. ## I'm glad that you finally found something that works for you. Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Vicodin is a narcotic pain medication, so it may be habit forming. Thus, you should be careful to only use it as your doctor directs. Learn more Vicodin details here. Are you taking it regularly to prevent, or just on an as needed basis? ## Thank You, Verwon, for responding to my post! You're and angel!

are these fake. The bottle says Hydrocodone 10/325 Norco but have seen watson 19/ 325 printed on the pill ## Has anyone responded to this post? I, too, have seen pills held up to be hydrocodone 10/325, which have the lettering Watson on one side and 10/325 under it. I have not seen that image in any of the online sources I have seen. Either they are fake or Watson used to, but no longer, makes pills with that image. ## Watson is just the manufacturer, this is one of their tablets. It contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen and 10mgs of Hydrocodone, a narcotic analgesic. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.

I recently went to a pharmacy to fill a prescription for Norco and the pharmacist called a different pharmacy across the street and shared information about the meds I have filled recently. It was a different pharmacy chain but it is a small town in PA. Is this legal? ## What was the purpose of his call? That's really what it all boils down to. If you were also getting medications filled at the other pharmacy and he valid reason to check on what you had prescribed previously, then no it isn't illegal. Most pharmacies use computer systems that do this very same thing, but some of the smaller ones don't have access to the large databases. If he had reason to believe that you may not have been up front with him about everything you are taking, or you said you didn't remembe...

I'm about to stop cold turkey I used to get the 40 er and now the 15 it I only take like two a day!! I hope my wd symptoms aren't to bad I do take 15 mg Valium everyday!! Any ideas on meds to take to offset it I know my body will hurt for a while ## Hello, Mrs. ATC! How are you doing? The severity of your withdrawals will really depend on how long you've been taking such medications and a slow taper is really best, because it will help minimize them, as much as possible. Learn more Oxycodone details here. 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. Have you consulted your doctor for assistance? They'd be best qualified to advise you on a safe metho...

I get the 15mg oxycodone from my pharmacy and it doesn't matter what company the pharmacy buys from, the color is always the same if its M boxes, V's or A-214. My sister found a pill in her car and thought I dropped it but its got A-214, a little thinner than mine and it's dark green! Is it the same? ## Hello, Sereta! How are you? Yes, they are the same, both are manufactured by Actavis and contain 15mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. I'm not sure why they are slightly different, but they do show that in the databases. 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? #...

I am a cronic pain patient. I have been taking Morphine ER 100mg for about 2 years. The price on my pills just doubles at my local pharmacy, My Dr is very open to recommendations, Can anyone recommend an alternative drug with the same pain killing potency with a lower cost. He had prescribed my Oxycontin, but the price at the pharmave was going to be about $700 per month out of pocket for me. The Morphine ER 100MG (qty 90, 3 per day) had been costing me $97 with my drug discount card, today when my wife refilled, they charged $190. When I called about it they said that the retail price of the pills had gone up. ## I have run into the same problem this month. My insurance will only pay for Morphine immediate release, and nothing else. If you find anything that might help both of us, I wo...

G161 ## Yes, this is an Oxycodone Extended Release 10mg tablet, a generic for Oxycontin. This is a narcotic pain reliever, highly addictive. ## does crushing and snorting oxcycodone k 56, round, pink pill-make it slower or faster release? ## It never ceases to amaze me why anyone would send out misinformation on any drug, for thousands of people to read as information and not realizing that it is, in fact, the wrong information. If you don't know the 'for sure' information, don't play with people's lives by misinforming thousands. Oxycodone and oxytocin are not generic for either or. The generic for oxycotin is extended release morphine sulfate. The generic for oxycodone is roxycodone. And I'm sure of this because pain management had me on both oxycodone and oxyc...

i know someone who soaks these green tablets and uses them for iv use and percocet to snort. what she be getting these prescribed for ## It sounds like she's shooting up 80 mg oxycontin. Both drugs are used for pain. The oxy is prescribed for severe pain. It's also called the "poor man's heroine". It it the most abused drug being sold on the streets according to the DEA. It comes in a variety of mgs starting at 5 mg. If your friend is using it interveinisly, she is most likely abusing this drug. Whether she got it by a script or on the streets (illegal), it's supposed to be taken orally. Depending on how long she's been on it, she may have to go into rehab to get off or go into a methadone clinic. I know ppl on it legitimately with severe health issues that a...

Hello, I take the above medications and have been for a little while. I have been having symptoms on & off but thought it was something that was just happening. Until it began to persist. I am now wearing a Foley bag and not urinating on my own. I have not had a bowel movement for weeks at a time (I may have one and then go 2-3 weeks without. can you tell me could this be a side effects because of my medications.

is 15mg a strong dose of Morphine? I've been on hyrocodone /apap 5/50tab mck. ## after 3years of off/on again meds is 15mg enough to make a difference? It's once a day for 2 wks. ## I'm switching from hydrodone/apap 5/500 tab mck 1 tab every day as needed for pain ## 15mgs is not a really high dose, but is usually effective if you have never used Morphine before, since your body is not used to the medication. The only way to really find out if it will help you is to try it. Have you spoken to your doctor about your concerns?

I have a broken rear tooth and infection that is very painful. I will be seeing my dentist tomorrow, but he has prescribed me Tylenol 3, once every 3-4 hours. About a year ago for a similar problem he prescribed me Norco, which I still have a few left. I've taken 3 T3 today, but am wondering if it would be ok for my next dose, which will be in about 3 hours, could I switch to Norco? I've read that Norco is more powerful than the T3, and I'd obviously prefer to have as little pain as possible before I see my dentist. ## Hello, Sam! How are you? Yes, you should be able to do that, as long as your dentist or doctor approves.

I am on Opana ER 30mg and Opana 15mg. I ran out 8 days ago. Will it still show up in my urine test, because it needs to be? Also I took a total of 30 Norco 10mg over a period of 8 days because I was in so much pain....will it be out my system in 3 1/2 days because I need it to be!!! Can I please get an educated reply asap because I'm really worried.

Hi i am a 43year old male and i am SOUTH AFRICAN i had a appointment with my GP on the 31/10/2012 and asked her to prescribe me OXYCODONE for pain relife but she said no as i am on a dose of 60mg RITILAN for my AADD is she correct by not giving me a script of OXYCODONE? ## Yes, it can be dangerous to combine them, because since the Oxycodone is a narcotic, it's basically like a downer and the Ritalin is like an upper.

I have a script for Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 10/325 but I'm out, and have access to an old script of Oxycodone 10MG immediate release. If i take a DOT drug test will they show up different and cause me to fail? ## NO oxycodone will NOT show up on a dot 5 panel test. If it is an extended opiate test then yes it will most definitely flag you. A 5 panel only tests for opiates not opioids. Synthetics will NOT show up on a 5 panel test. There is so much lack of information even by "medical professionals" just try a 5 panel home test available at any pharmacy and see for yourself. ## I just went through the wait of finding out the answer to ur question, i took a dot 5 panel drug test, i expected a call from the mro, i only got a call i passed from my employer...hope this helps.

I have had serious shoulder pain since my 2 shoulder surgeries and I have a physically demanding job which makes it worse. Does anyone know who in the central PA area (Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, etc) that will prescribe the 15 or 30mg Oxycodone (Percocet)? I have such a high tolerance to the weaker Percocet and those doses are the only ones that take my pain away. I would appreciate any and all feedback! Thanks. ## Hello, Shawn! How are you? The maximum dose of Percocet that is currently available contains 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Anything that contains higher doses of Oxycodone would not be called Percocet, because it doesn't contain the Acetaminophen. If you're referring to Oxycontin, then that would be a time released formulation of straight Oxycodone, ...
