Does anyone know the difference between Kadian 30 mg to Watson 3450. My Kadian was just changed to the Watson pill and I am now in withdrawal. What is the difference? ## Kadian is the Brand name for Morphine Sulfate Extented Release capsules, it is made by Actavis. Watson 3450 is a purple/white capsule and contains 30 mgs Morphine Sulfate Extented Release. The amount of medication in a Brand and a generic may vary. The Brands have exact medication whereas generics may vary. For example, if you have a generic that says 10 mgs, there can be 8 mgs-12 mgs of medication in it.

I have an appointment with my pain manage Dr. in 5 days. They do count my pills, I get 120 20mg. monthly. I will need to have 10 pills left when I see them. So ahead of time I set those aside. But I've had an unusually painful month, and realized that I was going to run out. I called my Dr.'s office and ask if they would okay 5 pills a day when needed instead of the prescribed 4. They said no, and that I should try to stretch out my dose. Well that hasn't worked. I now have 3 pills left. What would likely happen if I took 2 or 3 pills out of the 10 that I set aside? Oh yeah I'm in NC if it matters. ## If you signed a contract with your dr, you need to see what it says regarding this. Depending on how strict your dr is, if you don't have the correct number of pills wh...

This is about useless. All I see is questions and no answers. Bad accident 10 years ago broke 24 bones. Many non-union and deformities. I take 2 Lortab 7.5/500, 1/12 Soma, 15 mg Valium every day. Never taken Oxy anything or methadone, except right after my wreck I was on Percocet 10 for 90 days. I told the Dr I was ready to go back to Tylenol 3, which I was on at the time. He said codiene was a bad drug and switched me to Lortab. I have Pulmonary Fibrosis and have exceeded my life expectancy by 10 years. I was on social security disability when I had the accident (friend bumped me riding motorcycles). I believe that is why they didn't fix my mangled bones with plates and pins, or because they didn't think I would be around so long. I'll be on these drugs until I die. I don...

I am getting some facial work done(face lift) and they gave me a script for hydrocodone ## Hi Betty, From what I understand, Hydrocodone is just a synthetic derivative of codeine; so it does not contain the actual substance. If your doctor/surgeon was aware of this allergy prior to writing your script, then it's likely that he/she did so with your best interest in mind. People who are allergic to codeine usually have no problems with Hydrocodone. Is this your first time having to take this drug? ## Yes and thanks for your answer.

i have back problems an i was givin some by a freind ## Because pain medications tend to effect each person differently (due to various levels of pain tolerance and severity), you can't really tell someone "how" strong something like this is. What works for them may not have any effect on you, or vise versa. The Tylenol ER isn't necessarily stronger than other forms of Tylenol (in regards to potency). All it does is simply last longer, since it's an extended-release version of the drug. OTC meds like this also aren't really intended for severe pain issues, but it may help alleviate minor muscle aches & body pain, such as arthritis. I hope this helps!

I am in so much pain and was wondering what med is better for pain. ## Sorry to hear about the extent of your pain. However, it's important to know that what works for someone else may not necessarily work the same for you. While tramadol is often touted as a much weaker pain medication than your typical narcotic, (i.e percocet), I'm sure it also depends on several underlying factors (such as one's tolerance to pain meds, severity of pain, etc...) I would probably place my bet on the percocet being stronger though. But it sounds like you should definitely discuss this with your doctor if you've been contemplating this for a while. Stronger doesn't always mean better...at least when it comes to tapering off. I hope this helps!

I recently moved to Abingdon, Va, and I have degenerative disc disease. Pain under control with 15 mg -30 mg oxycodone and cervical epidurals. Cannot find a prescribing doctor in this area. Please help. Have had to fly out to Colorado 3 times to get meds and procedures. ## What type of doctor have you been seeing? Some new laws went into place at the beginning of the year and due to very high rates of drug abuse and bad prescribing practices, they are being very strictly enforced, especially on the east cost. Thus, you are most likely going to have to see a pain management specialist to continue receiving such controlled substances. Learn more pain management details here. The legal changes don't allow general practitioners to prescribed such medications for long-term use anymore, e...

i wanted to get some more feedback regarding Opana 40 mg ER and any side affects that you may have. I have two herniated disc's L4-L5 & L5/S1 & I have stonisis of the spine as well.. I am only 39yrs old and my pain management Doctor referred me to this type of pain medication since I am way to young to have back surgery. I am currently on my second steroid IV of dexamethasone which is a series of 3 intravenous doses and they have done nothing so far with the inflammation. I have been taking Generic Hydrocodone 10/325 2 pills 3 times a day and it's not helping so my doctor put me on Opana starting tomorrow, 40mgs twice a day. I live in FL and they have super strict laws so they will not give me any type of Oxycontin or Roxycontin. Anyways, how long have you been on opana ...

I have been on Fentanyl for a long time. 3 weeks ago I kept a patch on for over a week without changing it and then took it off a day before going to the doctor. I had sweating, nausea, pain but I tolerated it. My doctor was upset that I did it but I was so desperate to come off of it, I would try anything. She put me on 12 mg patches for 2 weeks and then I was to go onto something else. I was having a horrible time with the low dose patch and put on a 25 mg 2 days before seeing my doctor. She has given me a prescription for Oxyneo 10mg to be taken twice a day. I'm wondering if I should keep the patch on for a week and during this time start the Oxy. Anyone had a similar experience? Can anyone tell me what their experience with Oxyneo has been? ## Hi Ritzi, Sorry to hear about your ...

What should lab results read if taking five hydrocodone 10/325 a day? ## It depends on the test. It should show hydrocodone and it may show the amount. The tests can show the meds and the concentration of them shows how you're taking them.

As I understand Dilaudid-HP Injection is available as a sterile, aqueous solution in colorless ampules. Comes in 4 mg of hydromorphone, for injecting in vein or subcutaneous or intramuscle. I have chronic back pain and the only course for treatment is to live with the pain. Or find a pain medication that my liver can tolerate, without shortening my life. I am dying from liver disease and would like to check out without the severe pain. Currantly I take approx 40 Mg of methadone, which I hate. I must soak the pills then strain off the clear liquid (water) then throw away the carrier. I know out of 60 mgs I am probably getting about Otherwise if I take the entire pill. I get very nausuated. Can my Dr. Perscribe it and will I be able to locate it in a drug store??? Many thanks, Robert ## A...

I need a pain Meditation that is Not as high risk for Addiction..i have told that Nuycnta er is not as addictive as other pain medicines is this true ## Hi, Rhonda! How are you? All of the narcotic opiates have the potential to be habit forming and addictive, including Nucynta. And a person who has had a problem with addiction in the past is more prone to develop one with any new medication introduced that has addictive potential. Have you discussed the issue with your doctor? They may be able to help you discover a viable option. Outside of the narcotics, there are some pretty strong NSAIDs, but they aren't going to help much with severe pain. What have you already tried?

Im guessing the strength of this pill is less than any over the counter Tylenol.. 325 vs 500 ## Actually, both of the doses you listed are over the counter strengths. The original Tylenol was 325mgs, the Extra Strength is 500mgs and there is a time released arthritis formulation that contains 650mgs. Learn more Acetaminophen details here. The 325mg dosage isn't purchased as often, anymore, so it's seen less frequently in most stores, but it is still available. Doses over 4,000mgs in a day can be fatally toxic, so anyone taking it should be very careful not to exceed the recommended dosing guidelines. Is there anything else I can help with?

i live in brooklyn terminally ill and cannot fill my prescription of oxycodone 30mg I am sick with kidney failure .. can anyone help??? ## Hi jerry, My research suggests that someone who has kidney disease or kidney failure should only be taking Oxycodone under the care of a medical doctor. Have you considered other- less harsh- methods of pain relief? I imagine that if you are experiencing kidney failure you should seek emergency medical attention, and the doctors/surgeons may be able to provide you with alternatives that could help you-not hurt you. I am not a doctor, but I personally think that If one of your organs is failing, pumping more narcotics into your body won't help your case much. A nutritionist may be able to help you create a diet plan that may be able to help your b...

I'm on Morphine sulf 60mg ER 1 table every 12 hours plus Fentora 400 MCG Buccal tablet 1 every 6 hours. I'm ran out of the Morphine Sulf and none of the farmacy have it on stock. Now I'm with a lot of pain, I think because I'm getting the morphine out of my system, but I do have at home Oxycodone 15 MG. Do you know if I can substitute the morphine for the Oxycodone safely until I get the Morphine back within 2 days. Also if I take the Oxycodone can I still take the Fentora safely. I will not take it together,but like I take Oxycodone now and within one hour it's the time for Fentora. ## Hi, Santa! Sorry about the problem that you're having finding your medication. And yes, a sudden withdrawal from the Morphine can cause a rebound effect, which could cause worse p...
