My doctor will not refill my oxymoron or my fentanyl patches because of a pending drug charge. I have been on them for years. How can they just stop them? If I go to another doctor will it be in my medical records? I thought you were innocent until proven guilty. ## Hello, Justice! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you're having. Your doctor can stop prescribing anything, at any time, for any reason. Unless you are in immediate life-threatening danger, they are under no obligation to treat you, prescribe anything, or keep you on as a patient, just the same as you are not obligated to keep seeing any particular doctor or take any prescribed medication, except for rare cases of being under court order. Yes, it will be noted in your medical records for all medical profe...

why does 176 Norco made byCaraco make me sick .I have been on Norco for 10 years,never had this brand until Target/CVS gave it to me this mo. never had stomach pains nausea'.will never take this again trying to make my 30 days time frame ## Hello, Poppy! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about the problem you've experienced. The inactive ingredients can differ from one manufacturer to the next, so Caraco may have used something that you're sensitive to. There is also a chance that these pills may be a bit stronger than the others, which could also cause these types of symptoms. 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. ...

Small yellow pill round with a raised letter v and blank on the other side ## Hello, Purplerose63! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 325mgs of Aspirin, the marking is meant to be an A. The FDA lists the typical side effects for this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

What is Hydrocodone Acetaminophen 5 / 325 TB used for? I was on the 7.5-325 T before for a hip surgery I had (for the pain). What is the difference? ## Hello, Patty! How are you? The dosage is lower, this one contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. If you're asking about the T and TB, there is no difference, they are both just abbreviations for tablet. 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.

Hello, I injured my back about 10 years ago. An X-rat showed a collasped, bulging L5 disc. With muscle relaxers and mild pain meds I could function. As the years have passed, the pain has become chronic. Over the last year, the pain has become acute. On my bad days, the pain is so severe I can't move. I can't get dressed or feed my cats. I spend the day trying to find a comfortable position to sit or stand. I stopped working last February and now I am on Medicaid. I found an internist who is very sweet, but does not treat chronic pain. He advised me to find a pain management doctor. I went to one. It was a strange consultation. She had my MRIs and all my other medical reports. I told her I can't drive anymore or work. And a list of other things I can't do without help. Duri

Need to replace some pills to my doctor and then he will give me vicidon ## Prescription tablets in the U.S. have unique imprints to enable their identification, you will not be able to fool your doctor in such a manner. Norco and Vicodin both contain Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, so why do you need Vicodin, rather than the Norco? ## It's not legal to buy on the street, so maybe you'll have to wait until the the original script is supposed to be gone, the way is was prescribed...Good luck, I 've switched back and forth between 10/325, and 10/500, when I am using the hydrocodone only for pain I prefer the 10/500, now however I'm using the Norco 1'0/325 for breakthrough pain.. ## I have a dr appt with a pain clinic and I'm 9 short on my lortab I need to find a OTC...

I have been on Oxycodone for 4 years, under treatment of pain management and have recently started a new job that requires a urinary drug test. My employer received a discount on his insurance for being a drug free work place. My question is if I get a note from my Dr explaining why I am on the opiate and take the drug test, what is the law in regards to the outcome? I am taking them due to a back problem that will never go away unless I receive surgery. Is this grounds for termination? Do I have any rights?

white large oblong pill with no imprint of any kind but it is scored on one side ## Most probably Paracetamol 500mg. Why do you not have the packaging, blister or patient information leaflet? If it is a 'found object' then it should not be consumed under any circumstances. The packaging will ALWAYS tell you what you have. It is compulsory to have the relevant information printed on the aluminium of the blister pack, or the bottle in which it came. Pills should never be in any container or packet which is not sealed and which does not carry the information regarding contents and dosage. ## I have a long white rectangle pill with 3 acres on each side but no imprint on either side? Can this be zanax 2 mg

It says 1-3 days for oral fluid for most opiates. Hope this helps. ## For Oxycodone and its metabolites, the detection time for an oral swab can be up to 7 days, which can vary somewhat, depending on how long you have been using it and how high of a dosage you have been taking. As damouthy1 stated and linked to, most opiates are 1 to 3 days, but...

Would like to know who distributes a 40mg yellow oxycodone with half moon and 330? What company? ## Hi Rebecca - The "half moon" sounds a lot like either the old Actavis logo or the Alvogen logo. Unfortunately I can't find a version with 330 on it from their product listings. Actavis does distribute a 40mg yellow oxycodone but with "OP 40" on it. But Alvogen's markings are a bit closer - They have an Oxycodone 10mg + Acetaminophen 325 mg pill (generic Percocet) which is round and yellow with the inscription 230 along with the Alvogen logo on them (NDC 47781-230). Does this possibly sound like what you might have? If you see a Google Image search for the Alvogen logo it could help to you verify that half moon. Please let me know if this helps at all. I might be ab...

My nephew accidentally took a percocet the day before his probation visit. He thought it was his naproxen for a hand condition. He was prescribed percocet after a dental extraction months ago. Would the urine screening show as Cocaine and Opiates? He was arrested for this but it was totally unintentional. Or, is he lying about this situation? ## I haven't had coke for over 10 years. I'm on hydromorphone and dilaudid for back pain and I tested positive for cocaine. I also take marijuana but I don't know how this could have happened?

44/104 is this a perk 10?? Its round and white with a score between 44 and 104 ## What is a round pill thats round and says 57 on oneside and blank on other. Is it used in science treatment. ## Babygirl, the tablet with the 44 104 marking is an over the counter medication that is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 325mgs of Acetaminophen. It is a generic or store brand of Tylenol. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness and headache. Angela, I'm sorry, I can't find a listing for any pills matching that description. Can you please double check the imprint?

I also want to know if half a pill will work just as if I took a whole one? ## NP 12 is Oxycodone. It is very dangerous to cut or break it. ## This tablet is manufactured by Zydus Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation, so yes, it can be cut, if 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 not going into a lot of detail about all the health problems that I have that require painkillers. I must say though I am on Medicaid and I have yet to find a doctor that is willing to accept me being on Medicaid and becoming a patient of theirs so that they will prescribe the medications that I need in order to live day by day. The pain that I experience is so intense most days I have to lay in bed all day because I cannot find the will to get up. I know a lot of people probably think oh you're just addicted to them,no that's not the case I need them to help me get through my day just like I said, to do even simple things. Does anyone know a doctor in Fredericksburg Virginia that prescribes opiate pain killers to their patients. ## The stats show that the rate of abuse ...

Round grey Pill with m on one side and 100 on the other ## Hello, Scott! How are you? That matches the description of a time releases 100mg Morphine tablet that's manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. 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.

white or yellow are they the same ## I'm sorry, but the colors don't actually mean anything, so I can't provide you with any information just from that.

I have been prescribed Vicodin 10/325 for a couple of years for a failed patella replacement procedure. Now I have to wait at least 90 days for a total knee replacement and the pain is so bad the Vicodin is not effective. I'm looking for a good referral for a clinic in southern NH or northern MA who will prescribe something stronger, like Oxycodone, and not think I'm just trying to score pain meds. I don't want to increase my Vicodin consumption, as that leads to its own problems. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi. I am struggling to find a pain doctor to do medication management in or around Grapevine, Tx. I have been through surgeries and injections with no help. Also I guess I would have to be a privet pay patient since my insurance only has three doctors within 50 miles they will help pay for, one of which is the one referring me to a new person. (The other two are not accepting new patients) I would appreciate any information or other's experiences with local doctors. I have tried just calling around some and I keep getting the same answers... "You need to be with one of the insurance companies we take." Or "We only do injections." Not only is this time consuming, you start getting hopeless that you'll find anyone that can help. Thanks to everyone for your time and...
