I supost to have narco 10 and the # on it is 3203 is that a 10 are a 7.5 ## Hello, Sam! How are you? The tablet with the marking WATSON 3203 on it is manufactured by Watson Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Did you receive these from your pharmacy? If so and your doctor prescribed the 10mg, then they have made an error. 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.

My doctor told me im positive for methamphetamines but ive never seen it before or used it. I take muscle relaxers and Tylenol. I have taken 2 tests, both were positive - but i know I've never used it. What do i do? ## Hello, Rere! How are you? What specific muscle relaxants do you take? Some medications can cause false positives on some of the less expensive tests. And as to the same result on two tests, did they actually send it out to a lab, or just use another one of their in-house tests? Only a lab can actually differentiate a false positive from an accurate tests. Some Tylenol products have been known to cause false positives. Was it just regular Tylenol that you were taking or was it the sinus formula? If I were you, I'd require the actual professional lab test.

I was in a rear end car accident which left me with horrific pain on the left side of my neck and down into my shoulder and arm. I've had numerous tests, but nothing comes up as wrong. My pain doctor, who is also an anesthesiologist, believes the problem has to do with nerve damage in my facet joints which does not show on tests. It can only be diagnosed post mortem. The pain is horrible and growing. I'm in the process of going through nerve block testing and if that is successful he will destroy those nerves. Meanwhile, I've been on various pain meds. I was just taken off 40mgs of Oxycodone per day and put on Oxycontin 15mgs 3 times per day. It seems to be less effective than the Oxycodone. I was taken off the Oxycodone because it wasn't working as well after taking it ...

Thank u!~ ## Hello, Chris! How are you? I believe the marking you're looking at is actually B 572 10 and the tablet is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals. They list it as containing 10mgs of mixed Amphetamine salts, which is a generic for Adderall. The FDA classifies this medication as a stimulant that is most commonly used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. It carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, weight loss, nervousness and anorexia. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is there a difference between the ingredients in oxycodone and oxycontin. I have been taking oxycodone30mg. for several years and my doctor changed my meds to oxycontin 60mg and the oxycontin broke me out in hives and made me feel like I couldn't breath. I had to go to emergency room to get help and even after this the doctor said I will get used to it if I continue with it. I'm really scared to take anymore. Please respond. Thank You. Lila. PS. I don't have email, can I use someone elses to get a response from you? ## Hello, Lila! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the problem you had. I'm not a doctor, but I disagree with what yours said, because what I do know is that such severe reactions usually tend to get worse, with repeated exposure to the allergen, not...

It seems everyone on pain meds illegally has resorted to their local H dealer , then resulting in family members robbing your home and pawning anything of value with no reguard for the impact the theft has done on the person/s the H addict has stolen from, so please think before trying to find an alternative , it usually ends very bad ! I've seen many old friends and family either commit suicide, murder eachother , or accidently overdose , also people are sabatoshing by giving what's called hot shots and or the skin eating disease , worse thing is living with the blood born diseases contracted by sharing the needle or many other ways ! Stay on what your doctor has prescribed you , I personally think pot should be legal in the USA , it makes a great mussel relaxer and helps most ...

I have reads that a person who was on Tramadol for 8 or 10 years and as a result, had to take 8 of the 50 mg tablets of Tramadol daily to get results. His Dr. decided to give him a derivative of the drug for a few months to help irradiate the tolerance that had developed from taking the Tramadol for so long. After using the new drug for 6 months or a year. ( Cant remember the details. the article was a few years back) or a year, he switched back to the Tramadol and needed only 200 mg Daily. I can't seem to find any more info on this any more but would be interested in cleaning out and starting anew with the Tramadol. ## Hello, John! How are you? This is known to work for some people and some doctors do recommend 'med vacations' to help something retain or regain efficacy. Th...

Not everyone experiences nightmare withdrawals, it can vary from person to person. Some people can take fairly high doses for a long period of time and then just stop, without experiencing any withdrawal effects.

What is this?found this pill in my aspirin bottle was hoping it was not a trannquilizer ## Hello, Audra! How are you? Actually, I think this is just another Aspirin tablet which contains 81mgs, chewable. Is there any scent to it, like orange or cherry? Many generic over the counter medication factories bottle stuff for more than one store/brand, so one from a different batch may have just gotten accidentally mixed in. The FDA classifies this medication as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

my pain Dr. prescribed the pain medication, kadian, 70 mg. where can i find this drug? ## Hi Kay, Since your doctor prescribed Kadian to you, then your best bet would be to go to your local pharmacy or call all of the pharmacies in your area to see who carries it. If you can't get your prescriptions filled locally, you could try an online pharmacy that can ship you your meds. I personally haven't used this method for getting a prescription, but I know there are a handful of sites out there that are safe and legal to order from amongst the swarm of bad ones: Legitimate online pharmacies that carry the VIPPS seal are listed at: nabp.net/programs/accreditation/vipps/find-a-vipps-online-pharmacy FDA: Buying Medicines and Medical Products Online Quick Tips for Buying Online: * Make s...

I am still trying to find a Dr. who will take over my Pain management contract in Arizona. I live in South Scottsdale. I have been in Pain Management for over 5 years because I am on a high dose of medication no Dr. wants to help me. If anyone out there can help me please. I was told my Dr. he was retiring In Dec. they gave his patients 3 week notice. I did find a Dr. he was willing to take me on as a patient. He wrote my scripts in January when I went back in Feb. he had his PA come in the room hand me a 30 day supply of my medication and told me I was being discharged because of the Dr. I was seeing. I was blown away. I called back after I calmed down and called the office the front desk girl said he decided he did not want to deal with my old Dr. patients and when a Dr. calls to veri...

My doctor moved and after being prescribed 4 hydrocodone 10/325mg a day for 7 years. I'm having the worst time finding a doctor to prescribe it to me again. NSAIDS don't do anything to help. Does anyone know of realistically effective alternatives? Or possibly anyone in the Las Vegas, NV area know a doctor who won't judge me for being in pain and might actually help me? I appreciate any feedback. ## Hello, Mandy! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Hydrocodone combinations were changed to schedule 2 drugs last fall, so most doctors will no longer prescribe them. Due to the new directives from the DEA, if you require such a medication for the long-term ongoing treatment of chronic pain, you'll need to see a pain management specialist. The ...

Are there any Doctor's in AZ (preferably in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, or Tempe area) that will prescribe pain medications for fibromyalgia and lower back pain? The strongest medicine that I can get is Norco 10/325 x 2 a day but that doesn't cut it.

Hi, I will be moving soon from Las Vegas, NV to Victorville, CA, & I need a doctor who will prescribe 180 Morphine Sulfate IR pills a month-I take 6 30 mg MSIR pills a day.

Does anyone have Humana prescription insurance through disability? My Humana will only pay for 2 long acting pain meds which are MS Contin and fentanyl patches...I've tried the patches and I have a severe allergic reaction to them as they cause itching and burning to my skin and the Morphine ER doesn't seem to work at all. They cover the short acting pain meds no problem it's just the long acting. Even a prior authorization from the doctor won't get any others covered? ## What dosage of the MS Contin are you taking? You may need to speak to your doctor about raising it. The FDA lists Morphine as being 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.

All the images they show have a number imprint, but these dont. ## Hello, Dee! How are you? Yes, all legal U.S. approved prescription tablets would have an imprint on them. It is required by law to enable their identification, in case of emergency. If they have no imprint, then they are most likely an over the counter product, of some type. Though, there is also a small chance that they would be a foreign medication.
