Looking to start driving trucks. CDL does not allow hydrocodone. My dose is 10/325 x4 a day for chronic lower back pain, at least 8 yrs with no problems. Trying to wein off, down to 2 per day though difficult. Looking for legal alternative for CDL? ## You should look into Kratom. It works really well in my opinion and it's legal.

Using Hydromorphone 2 Mg. What should I look for and how to prevent terrible constipation with this medication. Thank you for your time. ## Hydromorphone is a narcotic, so along with the constipation, it may also cause dizziness, dry mouth and nausea. It really isn't good to mix other medications with it, without checking with your doctor. When I was on narcotic pain management, what I found that worked best to prevent the constipation and is completely natural were fiber supplements. Most people don't get enough in their diet, anyway and fiber is not known to cause reactions with many other medications. Are there any other questions? ## Take magnesium suppliments, when i broke my arm they gave my hydromorphone and i took magnesium to build bone density and stop constipation. ##...

I pill id the u15 pill it says oxycodone & acetaminifin the scrip was for perk 7.5 pill id says it a 5 i called pharmacy n she said the u 15 is a new manufacturer n they are 7.5 n tht u 15 in capsule form is the 5 could the pharmacist hav made a mistake. She told me i can come look at a bottle there if i didnt believe ## U15 on capsule is Oxycodone 5 mg/Acetaminophen 325 mg. You need to take the prescription back to the pharmacy. They may or may not do anything. You also might want to call ahead and find out when the Pharmacy Manager will be there and go then.

I have been taken 150mg Lycia twice a day for nerve pain (Feet) Sort of works. Have on a number occasions take GenPayne as well, which seems to help. Is this ok or should i stop. ## Hello, Hugh! How are you? They can be taken together, as long as your doctor approves and such medications are often prescribed together to help manage chronic pain. The FDA classifies Gen Payne 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 take 10 mg loratabs 3xs a day and 1mg xanax 3 x a day and I was pulled over and then asked to get out of the car for being intoxicated when I wasn't I was just sleepy, the cop arrested me and took me to get my blood drawn to get my levels. what is the min and max levels you can have in a blood test to be passable and what is consider a failed % ## I'm sorry, but I can't answer your question, because this can vary from state to state. The Lortab contains Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, it is a narcotic and the Xanax contains Alrprazolam, which is a Benzodiazepine and they can both cause extreme drowsiness and dizziness, which may impair your ability to operate your vehicle. That is why you are usually advised not to drive, until you know how they affect you and why DUI laws ...

I have been in mmt successfully for a year. Last Wednesday I took 4 mg dilaudid. Idk why...I guess I just wanted to see if anything would happen. I have taken nothing but methadone for the entire year. Anyway, today, Monday, I had a urine screen. If I come up dirty I lose every take home I've earned. What are the chances it's out of my system? I took the dilaudid Wednesday at 5pm and drug tested Monday at 6am. I'm so disappointed in myself but if I make it over this hump it will never happen again. Well, even if I don't make it over the hump it still won't happen again. Thanks for any feedback.

I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in my neck, severe end stage arthritis in my right elbow and chronic ulner nerve pain in my right hand, I am on 240 mg of morphine and 2700mg of gabapentin a day, my problem is the sleepiness It causes me, I can hardly function on these meds which also cause me to sweat profusely causing me to change my clothes 2 or more times a day, what can I do to reduce the drowsiness? ## Hello, Del! How are you? Unfortunately, there really isn't much that can be done about either side effect, other than perhaps switching to a different medication. 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....

How many norco 10-325 equal 1 percocet 5-325? ## Hello, Eric! How are you? Each 10mgs of Hydrocodone in the Norco is equivalent to 6.67mgs of Oxycodone in the Percocet. 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.

I have chronic back pain along with hip and knee pain that I was taking norco 10 for. Well I messed up and took a different drug that was in my blood work. My doctor didn't give me a chance. He told me I would not get them and no doctor would give them back... Why wont they if I would take a drug test to prove myself?

Hi! I've never posted here, but hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction. I have been on oxycodone 10mg for six years. The problem is, it's just not working as well for me anymore. A friend of mine, who had been on oxycodone for 16 years, has recently transitioned to methadone and is almost completely pain free. Does anyone else have experience with trading these two medications? Has your experience been the same? I just don't want to bother changing what I'm on now to something else if it's not going to relieve my pain. (I've also been on Dilaudid, Demerol and morphine, and for me, they're pretty useless for treating arthritis pain, so don't recommend those! LOL) I'm looking for something long-acting that will maybe give me my life back...

16 hours post op. Wondering if I can safely take dilaudid and Tylenol 3's. Not at the same time but every 3 hours or so as both are prescribed every 4-6 hours. For example, a dilaudid at noon a t3 at 3:00 pm another dilaudid at 6pm and so on. ## Hello, Ganeen! How are you? Yes, you can do that, as long as your doctor approaches, you'd just be staggering when you take each one. The FDA classifies Dilaudid 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.

What's the differents between a 10mg oxycodone with the imprint np12 verses k56? ## Hello, Terra! How are you? They've just been manufactured by different companies, which is common with generics. The one with the NP 12 marking is made by Zydus Pharmaceuticals and the other is made by KVK Tech. 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.

Are Watson 503 still available at Pharmacies in the US? ## No, they are no longer available here. All combination prescription products have been changed to contain no more than 325mgs of Acetaminophen per dose and this one contained 650mgs with the 10mgs of Hydrocodone. 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.

can this medicine cause feet to be cold and burning feeling and your whole body is extremely sensitive to air around you ## 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. No, the symptoms you've mentioned aren't typical side effects of this medication. Are you taking anything else?

How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these medications, but it's always best to double check to be sure. The FDA classifies Prednisone as a steroid, which may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizzies, headache, nervousness and irritability. The side effects of this antibiotic may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Hydrocodone with Apap 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 t...

I had dilaudid IV for several days after my c-section because of some problems with the surgery. I saw a specialist about 25 days later and still tested positive. It was not an issue but surprised to hear it could show so long. All of you people trying to beat tests need to just do it the right way. There are never guarantees.

I would like to know which drug is similar to tramadol but can be taken with lexapro? ## Unfortunately, from what I am finding, all of the centrally acting analgesics in that class can cause problems with Serotonin Syndrome, if they are taken with the Lexapro. The same warnings come up for the other options, such as Tapentadol: Has your doctor recommended anything? ## As usual Verwon has been to the reference library. It is true that really only the relatively new to market tapentadol HCl, branded Palexia, Tapal, and in USA Nucynta, is similar in that it is both a mild opioid and SNRI. Tramadol is the stronger drug mg for mg, but is not much more potent than the true opioid dihydrocodeine tartrate. Both of the atypical drugs with SNRI action are partial mu-antagonists. Onset of action a...

I have been taking tramadol for going on 8 years and now walmart states they cannot fill this without a dea number and the clinic I go to, I see a nurse practioner and she has no dea number is there something she can prescribe me that will help and without having to have a dea number ## Your nurse practitioner is operating underneath a physician. They should be able to take care of this for you. They will have to use the physician's dea number. ## can you give me an idea of another drug the she can prescribe. ## Hello, Lewis! How are you? There are no other comparable mediations that will not require a DEA number. The options that don't are all mild analgesics, such as NSAIDs. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, s...
