Wasted $140 because I refuse to use something that does more damage than good ## I take perocet 10/apap and wentto get mine filled and they gave me a different one to it has ip something on it and it does nothing for my pain why do we have to accept meds that do not work please help me to tell what to tell the pharmacy? ## I am very sorry that you've both had a problem, unfortunately, there is nothing your pharmacy can do. However, I would suggest that you both report the issue to the FDA by calling them at 888-463-6332. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit for...

What are the side effects of this drugs in dogs? Is lose of appetite one of them? ## Hello, Based on my research, the Tussigon (Hydrocodone bitartrate + homatropine methylbromide) could possibly cause a dog to lose his/her appetite due to the fact that one of the common side effects is nausea/upset stomach. It is not uncommon for medications to cause these kinds of issues in humans and animals. If you have a dog that is experiencing a loss of appetite, I would contact a veterinarian as soon as possible. I hope this helps! ## My dog lost her appetite when taking Tussigon. She also had problems with her bowel movements which I attributed to her eating so infrequently. ## Unfortunately my little Angel died on February 7th. She would have been 15 on July 1st. I wish everyone success with th...

How long would it take to go through a withdrawal from these opioid pain meds such as norcos??? ## Hello, Becky! How are you? It actually depends on how long you were taking it, how much you were taking each day and the way your body reacts to stopping, so there's no hard and fast rule to quote for you. It may take anywhere from a few days to over a month, or so. The FDA lists the withdrawal effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, fever, chills, headache, diarrhea, rebound pain and depression. How long was the person in question taking it and how much were they taking?

On one side a crescent moon n the other #271 ## Hello, Sasha! How are you? Actavis Pharma lists this tablet as containing 30mgs of Morphine in an extended release formulation. 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is there another over counter pill same as hydrocodone ## Hello, Mary! How are you? No, there is no over the counter replacement in the U.S. Hydrocodone is a narcotic, so it requires a prescription and doctor's regular monitoring. The FDA warns that 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?

Does oxcodone and tramadol have the same ingredients ## Hello, Melissa! How are you? No, they do not, what you've listed are the specific ingredients, Tramadol is Tramadol and Oxycodone is Oxycodone. Tramadol is actually a very mild opioid and Oxycodone is much stronger. The FDA classifies this medication 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can oxycodone that expired a year ago still be used in an emergency. ## Hello, Hal! How are you? This medication does not become dangerous, once expired, but it does begin to lose effectiveness. Thus, it could be used, if your doctor approves, but the best thing to do would be to dispose of it and obtain a new prescription. 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'm trying to figure out if these meds are the same. If not what's the difference? ## Hello, Lucy! How are you? They are the same, just manufactured by difference companies. The one with the V marking is manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals and the one with the logo 230 is manufactured by Actavis. 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.

Hi, I'm a 27 year old male with 2 thoracic disc protrusions, 1 lumbar protrusion, also have facet disease through entire spine. Also cord impingement in both of the thoracic disc areas. My question is that I'm currently on three 10/325 hydrocodone a day, but I'm finding im needing more than the 3 a day to manage my pain. Is it possible or safe to take 4-5 of these a day? I've been on hydrocodone for 3 years now and at most I only get about an hour of relief from my current dose. ## Hello, Justin! How are you? The main concern is actually the Acetaminophen that's in them, taking too much of it in a day can result in overdose toxicity, which could lead to liver damage, failure or even death. 4 or 5 of them in a day isn't an unreasonable dose, but only your doctor c...

I have a damaged SI joint in my back from a car accident 12 years ago and also have fibromyalgia. I've recently noticed something and I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out. I've taken hydrocodone mainly for pain, usually 7.5 mg, but sometimes 10 mg. They make the pain tolerable but never seem to last long. I recently tried Watson 749, which I'd never heard of before, but they are percocet 5 mg. Both these and the hydrocodones I've taken had 325 mg acetaminophen in them. These 749 are awesome! They work faster, better and last longer! I understand that percocet is a stronger med than hydrocodone but a ten mg hydrocodone should be stronger than the 749, so why does this 749 work so much better? Everyone's body & pain tolerance is different so is that m...

Can I order AC&C 8mg from a pharmacy in Canada and have them shipped to me in Indiana? They are sold over the counter there and I have purchased them in Canadian stores when I lived closer to the border. ## Hi Chu - So from what I'm seeing AC&C is a compounded mixture of Aspirin and Codeine. Since it appears to be an OTC medication it would be up to the pharmacy in question whether they ship orders internationally. Legally speaking it is in one of those gray areas simply because of the Codeine ingredient. However, it is not considered a prescription drug in the originating country. Chances are you could find a retailer that does ship to US addresses.

I am taking oxycodone 15mgs IR's (immediate release). I was wondering if i took a 500Mg acetaminophen with it, wouldn't that just be like taking a percocet? ## In theory, yes - however such doses are not recommended, so you shouldn't do so, unless your doctor approves. 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'm prescribed 1 mg xanax and found an old bottle of klonopin i was prescribed a while back...both are 1 mgs is it safe to mix the two? ...im talking low quantities (like 1 a piece of each over a four hour time span )and ive got a mediocre tolerance to benzodiazepenes....

fever ## The most commonly available medication under this name contains the active ingredient Ketorolac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Learn more Ketorolac details here. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. However, the brand name Supradol in Tunisia is slightly different and contains Acetaminophen and Tramadol. Are there any questions and comments? ## Does anyone know about the availability of Supradol in the UK?

I tested positive for Morphine in my drug test. I'm sooo confused. I'm kicked outa my sober house and school pending a hair follicle test. I am CRUSHED beyond belief. I've been doing everything right and took great pride in doing so. How can this happen to me?? I only take Zoloft and Benadryl as meds... They double checked my urine when it came up as Opiates, 2nd test was specifically Morphine. Huh. Do u have any experience with this?

I take Oxycodone for pain and usually take the 15mg ones and I went out of town and due to the strick rules had to take some leftover 10mgs. Here is the thing they don't seem to help as much even doing the 15 so 1 and half of a 10. Should be the same mg for mg but it wasnt in fact I even had some withdrwal type feeling. Why is that? Has anyone else had the issue? I took the same amount mg for mg per day yet had no energy at all and felt off. ## There can be fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient from one generic medication to another. They are allowed to differ by plus or minus 20% under the Hatch Waxman Act of 1984. Thus, the 10mg tablets may be lower and that could have caused the problem. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the poten...

tapering down. I've been on 60mg for 2 weeks anyways I have 40mg left until my refill tomorrow. I feel like crap. What the best way to take the 40 I have left till tomorrow? All at once before bed or 1-2 through the day? Please help ## Hello, MikeyMike! How are you feeling? It would most likely be best to space them apart throughout the day, but you should follow whatever instructions your doctor provided. As reported by the FDA, even with a gradual taper, you may experience withdrawal effects, such as nausea, headache, diarrhea and rebound pain. Is there anything else I can help with?

Doctor at pain clinic only did urine drug test once when I first went there in 2004 then suddenly urine tested me at dr. visit in July. The test came back negative for anything (when I was taking all meds prescribed). The next week I was tested again, this time test came back with all mixed up amounts and that I had amphetamines! Doctor came in and rudely announced; "you come into my clinic high on amphetamines!" I honestly didn't know what that was, so I asked what is that? He then hatefully and loudly said "crystalmeth!" I was totally shattered and deeply humiliated!! He had (3) nurses in the room and when I tried to speak and tell him it was wrong, he told me not to yell at him but he was raising his voice at me. I asked for an immediate blood test or another test...

I take paroxetine 20mg each morning. Had foot surgery 2 days ago and was prescribed hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5-325 Tb. Is it ok to take these two medications together? ## Hello, Monanas63! How are you? There is a chance that the Paroxetine may potentiate the Hydrocodone, which could make it too potent for some people, thus you should only take them together, if your doctor approves. The FDA classified 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. Paroxetine is an SSRI antidepressant and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight gain. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm on percocet 10mg daily. I ran out and took morphine 15mg. I was tested in October 2014. I'm worried I'll be tested at my appt. tomorrow. Will I be kicked out of the pain clinic? ## Does morphine show up as opiates ## Hey I need to know what 30 mg morphine pill show up as on a swab drug test the same as if you took oxycodone.
