Just looked up what a person close to me was taking, who happens to be in rehab/jail..........again bc of this s***. What a shame. ## I am only just now seeing your post. I just wanted to say how sorry I am for the situation in which you found yourself. I am currently going through the exact same situation you are/were in. It's soooooo freaking hard. How did you end up dealing with it?

Ok....so, I guess I'd like to discuss the elephant in the room...... I am 50 yrs. old. Ever since I was 25, I have had extreme pain in my back. At 26, I had an MRI. I was diagnosed with DDD and Facet Joint Disease. At the time, I had 4 herniated discs and 1 torn disc. I was very uncomfortable. I was uncomfortable, but, was able to at least still work and maintain some sort of quality of life with 5 mg. of Percocet x 2 a day. Would I have liked more pain medicine, you bet your butt. ( had been to 3 surgeons....no one would touch my back). But, no Dr. at my age was willing to prescribe anymore, I toughed it out. Now, here I am at 50. It's gotten so bad I now have 8 herniated discs, 2 torn, 2 ruptured. Sciatica and neuropathy in both my legs. At 40, I found An angel of a Dr. to pre...

My opinion is they are pressed on a s***ty pill press. I believe that cartels are using hydrocodone and making narcotic products. This explains the reason they seem weaker than the Norco. It's definitely an analgesic pain medicine, but with it being made on the black market they are a little weaker with less resources; the bootleggers use fake packing to give it a brand name look, similar to how the opium and coco is inconsistent.

I'm curious bc I had misplaced a couple of meds a lil while ago & recently found some but I'm not exactly sure what's what so could u be so kind to help me solve this mystery. Plz??Thanx???? ## White oblong tablet with imprint u17 is Oxycodone 10 mg/Acetaminophen 325 mg.

I understand the battle going on with patients getting their pain meds now and I'm ready to do battle. But pain Mngmt needs to be a rush. I also need a PCP since I have other health issues as well that I need medication for..,,

I want to know any home products that can be combined to give a close effect as oxycotton or oxycodone? ## Wow, not a lot, and none that I know of. I remember not having my oxy and had to go through withdrawl and I took cold medicine but sinus meds, Benadryl ,nothing acted or even mimicked those strong opiates ## Yes, there is nothing available that you can use to create Oxycodone in your home, I'm sorry. Doing so requires a full lab, with trained personnel, usually both in fields of science and medicine. If there were, there would really be no point in a pharmaceutical company being able to patent it and charge a lot of money for it, because anyone would be able to synthesize any medication they wanted. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Are there any other questions or comments? #...

are there any pain medicine doctors in Alexandria Louisiana who take cash only? I have been in pain for 25 years, and with the new laws I cannot get help! I'll pay cash! I need help! ## SWIM, all you can do is call all the pain management drs there and ask. You will need a copy of current medical records with medical proof that there is a reason for you to need pain meds.

I was perscribed vicodin 750 es and then norco was told they were same and also available under other names. Is this true, and what other names do they come in? ## Yes, both Vicodin and Norco contain Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone as the active ingredients. Another name it is sold under would be Lortab and it is also available as a generic, so that would be listed as just the active ingredients. There are also a few different dosage strengths available. Learn more Vicodin details here. What you were first prescribed, Vicodin ES means an extra strength formulation of Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone and the larger number, like the 750 you listed is the amount of Acetaminophen in them. It helps the narcotic to work better. The Hydrocodone itself is only available up to a maximum of 10mgs. Is ...

is there Tylenol or aspirin in op20's? ## Hello, Crazdeb! How are you? No, Oxycontin only contains the narcotic Oxycodone in a time released formulation. There are no other active ingredients. 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? ## Thank hard to find ingredients and I have stomach problems ,soo thank you for your knowledge

The line on the back of a 5mg percocet, with 512 on the front. Does this line have to be going horizontal like the numbers on the front, or is it just random in the way these lines run compared to the 512 on the front? I can't find this answer anywhere! Thank you for your help! ## Hello, Kathy! How are you? It can go any way, it's random, it really just depends on how the pills fell in the pressing machine. 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?

Can you use low doses of Tramadol and Celexa (citalopram) on the same day? 20 mg of Celexa a day and 50mg of tramadol as needed, so not everyday usage on the tramadol. ## Using them together is generally not recommended. Both Tramadol and Celexa can raise levels of Serotonin in the brain, if the levels go too high, it may result in Serotonin Syndrome, which can be fatal. Learn more Tramadol details here. Learn more Celexa details here. Has your doctor prescribed them both for you? They are sometimes used together, but it requires caution and very close, regular monitoring. ## Thanks! The tramadol is an old prescription and I didn't think to ask my doctor since I dont take it very often. Thats scary, I think I wont mess with the combination and maybe when I get a flare up I'll ta...

Hi. My sister has had a problem with norco for several years. She and her husband moved to Texas for his job and she finally wanted to get help. They found a wonderful doctor in Sabine and she has been on suboxone now for five months. The problem now is that the job is over and they are back in ms and she can't find a doctor. There are waiting lists and prejudice everywhere she goes. Please if anyone can help her and knows of somewhere she can go let me know. She doesn't have internet where they live and it is very hard for her to do research. I am so proud of the progress that she has made but I am afraid if she doesn't get a doctor soon she might backslide. She has a daughter that doesn't live with her and won't see her until she is straight. She has been clean for fi

I think i took a white oblong capsule i was told it was outdone instant relief 5mg. I can't remember the exact numbers on them. I know it started with a 0 and had the number 4 in it. I have taken oxycodone before but never seen it in a capsuse before can u please tell me if it was actually oxycodone ## There's definitely not a medication by the name of "outdone", at least here in the U.S. It sounds like they could've also said Oxycontin, which is an extended release version of Oxycodone. But just to confirm, there are in fact Oxycodone (immediate release) capsules. I've seen a 5mg capsule from Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. This one happens to be brown/yellow in color and imprinted with "0554 M 5 mg". You mentioned that the pill started with a "0" ...
