I'm using Percocet right now and they aren't helping me much anymore, would Lorcet be a good pain killer to switch to ? ## it takes 15mgs of perocet to provide the same relief as 10 mgs of hydrocodone ## Percocet contain Oxycodone, and Acetaminophen, while Lorcet contains Hyrocodone with Acetaminophen. Oxycodone is stronger than Hydrocodone, so Lorcet may not work as well for pain, but it can vary from person to person. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Ref: Medline Plus Oxycodone and Medline Plus Hydrocodone Is there anything else I can help with?

pain medication ## My stepson was prescribed a pain med for his Lumbar back injury sustained at work. Not sure if it's LowerTabs or LorTabs, but he's also taking Ibuprofen and has broken out in rather large painful swollen spots. Could this be an alergic reaction to one or the other? ## Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. 800mgs if a prescription only dose, that maximum available over the counter in the U.S. is 200mg doses.

Is it alright to take Loritab if you are nursing? ## IT SAYS ON THE BOTTLE NOT TO SHARE YOUR PILLS WITH ANYONENCBI Hydrocodone in Breast Milk Ultimately, the best thing to do, if you can, would be to avoid taking it, and ask your doctor about taking something that is known to be safe. Is there anything I can help with?

Was tested and came back for oxycocone, all i take is ambien for sleep, tramadol for pain, amlopodine for blood pressure. Also I take Tylenol pm and Benadryl to help sleep ## I have had a false positive for oxycodone, because of tramadol and neurotin. So I guess it is possible. Especially if you are taking a medication like neurotin in addition to tramadol. ## Yes you can get a false positive for opioids with this drug.

This is day 3 of me taking Hysingla 20mg after taking Norco 10/325mg three to four times a day. So far I've noticed some wacky side effects. The pill seems to kick in at around 8hrs, and I can't keep my eyes open, I get a rush of anxiety and nausea. I've taken EVERY other ER opiate in the world and none of them did this to me. I do notice that it has lessened my extreme pain already and I have taken a few norcos on top of it thru out the day, but the 8hr mark seems to be like a different world kicking in. Has anyone been on this for awhile, went thru these side effects and then came out the other end actually liking this med? I can find NOTHING on the internet regarding much experience or reviews out there on people who are taking this med. I've woken up in the middle of...

Major headache, asked my brother in law for aspirn (he's a dentist in Mexico) and he hands me a febrax and says take this.

I just had surgery and was prescribed Tramacet. They're making me feel sick. I want to switch to my Tylenol No. 3. How long should I wait between them before I start the Tylenol 3? ## If your doctor approves of you switching, you should be able to just switch at your next normal dose time, but you should follow their instructions to be sure of your safety. The FDA warns that Acetaminophen with Codeine carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. ref: Medline Plus Acetaminophen and Codeine Are you on any other medications?

In May I sustained a shattered tibia and broken fibula, 4 broken ribs, 2 stomach surgeries, dislocated elbow, missive rotator disruption, 5 facial fractures, and a TBI. I have actively been on Percocet 5mg for the last couple months. This month my prescription was reduced to one tablet twice daily. During a 3 week time span, I overtook my prescription by 5 pills running short three days. Today I received a hardware removal surgery in my right foot and I am left with norco 5 mg tablets now. This medication has already proven to be ineffective. Did I loose the trust of my doctor? If so, how do I get it back? This was the first time that this has happened and I am in serious pain. ## Hello, Eric! How are you doing? I'm sorry about what you've been through, that's terrible, and ...

I used to take Doriden for bouts of insomnia but I heard it was discontinued. However, I asked my pharmacy about this and they said they would order it for me. Can it be ordered? ## Hello, Alicia! How are you? Yes, it can be ordered, it wasn't discontinued, just basically replaced by medications that have been deemed safer, so it is rarely prescribed today. ## Hello. I had been prescribed Doriden (generic glutethimide) for a number of years but was forced to switch to a benzodiazapine as I was told the manufacturer Ciba had conducted a worldwide product discontinuation due to poor sales. I did however read your post reply confirming a pharmacy could order this medication upon request?

I just picked up my prescription from a mom n pop pharmacy. Seems like every other month they have a different manufacturer. Trust me I know - they buy the cheapest brand lot available at the time. But these new ones I just got are horrible. They're produced by Lupin Pharmaceuticals. They are blue in color and HARD as a rock!!! When I visit the website they keep comparing themselves to Mallinckrodt. I used to get Mallinckrodt before I switched to the new pharmacy and they were by far the best. But just be aware these new ones by Lupin SUCK so check your pills before you leave the window and request different ones. You'll thank me later. ## Interesting. Thanks. The Mallinckrodt Adderall are awful so I would have been worried about their pain meds. ## What difference is it if they...

I take Percocet and Flexeril and was told by the doctor to wait a couple of hours before I take one or the other. What are the possible side effects, positive and negative? ## More than likely he advise to space them apart because they can both cause central nervous system depression. This can cause your breathing to slow and be shallower, a slower heart rate and etc. Using them both together can also worsen some other side effects, that they both can cause, such as drowsiness, dizziness and nausea. He is probably trying to minimize this for you. If you use them as he instructed you to, you may be able to get better pain control. Many doctors prescribe a muscle relaxant, like Flexeril, along with other pain management medications. Reducing the tenseness in the muscles can help lessen th...
