I'm prescribed 10mg. Oxcys. I went out of town 3 days ago n forgot my med, so I took 5 leftover Norcos I had left in my makeup bag from when my pm doc changed me from Norco to Oxycodone. Does Norco act differently in my body than the Oxy? ## Does it act differently? No, it is also a narcotic and has the same action for alleviating pain. 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. However, if you have a pain contract, you might have violated the terms, so it would be best to inform your doctor of what happened. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What is an alternative or an additive to 60mg of Norco/day? I have severe pain and after 7 years, I must have...

I take percocet - our house was broken into and my meds was one of the things that was stolen. It is two weeks before I go back to the Dr and my husband offered to give me one of his oxycodone because I'm in so much pain. I just don't want to get in trouble but I'm hurting so bad. ## Will show as same opiate on a 12panel test or swab if they test motabolites it may show a different compound ingredient minus the acetaminophen

if you are allergic to codeine, but are unknowingly given hydrocodone for 3 consecutive doses, could that cause someone to have a mild stroke? ## Hello, Steven! How are you? It's very doubtful, that's not a typical side effect of an allergic reaction. They usually include symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, hives, skin rash and swelling, as listed by the FDA. What was the person being treated for and were they given any other medications? ## steven it may cause if they are allergic to it as i had a mild stroke after taking med that i was allergic to it any drug can effect the heart and brain if allergic

Please help me ## Hello, Jose! How are you? It is completely normal for your body to eventually become tolerant to a medication that you've been taking for a long period of time, your doctor is aware of that. It happens to everyone, sooner or later, it's actually impressive that they've worked for you for so many years. But it is inevitable that someone will eventually need to switch to a different medicati...

I am on 20ml of methadone and my roommate accidentally spilled the bottle. Now, I'm out of luck with my daily dose. However, he suggested taking dilaudid in order to prevent me from getting sick. The question is, how many dilaudid 2's would it take to make up the difference so I'm not sick? ## U won't withdrawal from missing 1 day, i was on methadone for a few years and i missed 3 days b4 without any opiates and was fine.

I took oxycontin and oxycodone for 6 years... stopped cold turkey, cause i lost my job and insurance..........first month sucked real bad, but now i am ok. By all means, if you are in serious pain, take a narcotic! Nothing else even comes close to the results of a narcotic pain reliever. DO NOT!... I REPEAT.....DO NOT listen to all the hype and yackety yack every little dip wad spouts off about the big bad opiates. After 6 years of use.... of around 120 - 150 mgs per day, I have definitely learned that narcotic painkillers are much safer and easier on your stomach lining than Tylenol, motrin, aspirin, aleve, and all the others! FACT!... So when someone used to tell me, i just take tylenol for my pain, because they feel its not as strong BUT MUCH, MUCH safer.... I would remember my docto...

Small white caplet with McNEIL on one side and 650 on the other side. ## I located the pill to be a 50 mg Ultram tablet (also known as Tramadol). NOTE: the correct marking on this pill is MCNEIL 659 (not 650) Tramadol is used for treating moderate to moderately severe pain. The drug has a wide range of applications, including treatment for restless leg syndrome, acid reflux, and fibermyosis. For information about this drug, please refer to the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you. ## On a more delicate note: I have seen constipation listed as a possible side-effect of Ultram. Since I began taking it in 1996, the opposite has been true. I can almost set my watch by it. 40 minutes after ingesting a 200mg dose, I am able...

I have just been prescribed the generic Tramadol-50 mg 1 pill 3x a day for knee pain. Tramadol is the generic of Ultram 50 mg. ## I am trying to find out if Ultram is addictive and is it a opiate. ## I have been taking suboxone for three mths, I started taking it because of addiction to hydrocodone. I am going to run out before its time for my refill. I will be out for a week. Will I go into withdrawl? What can I do to help me make it to refill date? ## In regards to Tramadol being addictive, it is not classified as an opiate, but it is derived from one, so yes it can be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more Tramadol details here. And as to running out of Suboxone early, the best thing anyone in that situation can ...

I took about 105mg of oxycodone for 9 days after being taken off another opiate for a disease causing severe pain. How long will it take to completely leave my body so I will be clean and able to go back on my original meds? After reading here I'm very concerned and won't ever do that type of thing again. I would appreciate any info you are able to give me. Thanks. ## Aaron: What medication are you going back to? Strength and frequency? 9 days isn't exactly that long of time, but everyone reacts differently. Were you taking oxycodone due to a pain flare up, surgery etc?

My doctor prescribed Lyrica for severe nerve pain in my upper left leg. My specialist told me the pain is cause by my diabetes. At first, in June 2015 I was taking 75 mg., but to no effect. I took 150 mg., but again to no effect. In mid-July my doctor increased my dosage to 300 mg. I started having seizures. I decreased the dosage over a couple of weeks and stopped taking Lyrica. I took no more Lyrica, after mid-August. It is now in December and the seizures persist. Will these ever go away? I don't particularly want to take other drugs that will also cause such side-effects. Thank you. ## Hello, Mitch! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. If you stopped it months ago, then it should not still be causing seizures. Have you consulted a neurologist? It is po...

Hi. So I'm wondering how these 5 panel urine cup tests react in comparison to the Lab test they get sent to after. If I took two 30mg Oxycodone (Roxy's) on Thursday and took the 5 panel urine test on the following Wednesday... I'm sure the cup would say negative but would the results from when the Lab takes the Urine after come up positive???

I have a blue pill the guy said it is a ocycodone 20 But I can not tell I guess they got a little wet hpe else could I verify what they are ## Hi Canun, I'm assuming that you're referring to the pharmacist when you mention "the guy"; but if not, there's no guarantee that it is what "the guy" said it is. Depending on whether you filled a script at a licensed pharmacy, received a pain pill at a hospital, or obtained it through other means, the answer to this question should be pretty obvious in that licensed pharmacies and hospitals usually dispense identifiable tablets. The latter would probably be a counterfeit. Does it at least have any markings that you can make out? On one last note, legitimate 20mg Oxycodone is reportedly gray in color and not blue. It al...

I found some white oblong pills with afP2 on one side and am wondering what they are for. ## I haven't found a listing for this, so far, but I will keep looking.

I've been using adcadol tabs for headaches n tension,can it make me gain weight,I take 6 tabs for da day ## Hello, Pops! How are you? No, that's not a side effect it typically causes. 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?
