Pain Relief Forums (Page 881)

Recently I was prescribed Lyrica for nerve pain after fracturing my C5 vertebrae. The medicine was taken as prescribed by my physician. After taking said medication for two weeks, I began experiencing unusual effects pertaining to my vision. To describe this visual side-effect i would say I lost a percentage of my eye sight. A simple comparison would be as if you had been flashed in your eyes by a camera. Only there was no camera flash... This occurred arbitrarily and without warning. I contacted my physician and was advised to discontinue use. Anyone else? ## There are actually a number of Lyrica threads on here pertaining to its side effects. I think you may find the one's below helpful in that regard; as others have complained about double vision, dry eyes, dizziness, etc: /Discu...

Having problems with these doing much for relief. Tying to come back from cancer and other medical problems. Here they are just aspirin. ## Hi Larry, Will they not prescribe you anything else but this mid-level Vicodin? I find it odd that patients without such conditions have access to much stronger pain medications. Although I wouldn't wish those addicting opiates on anyone, sometimes intervention is necessary to get the initial relief you need. If your doctor is unwilling to prescribe what you feel you need, then it may be time to switch doctors to someone who specializes in pain management. The odds of getting a stronger medication are higher through a pain management doctor, since they focus most of their attention on pain, as opposed to a general M.D. I hope this helps! ## Hydr...

How long does Percocet stay in your system. I accidentally took one and I just found out I have a drug test coming up? I have a week before I take it. ## shows up for 3 days ## It will be out of your system within 3 days. If you have a valid prescription for that med then you don't have to worry, even if the opiate showed up on the drug screen, depending on your job description. I'm wondering how anyone could accidentally take a dose of oxycodone? ## say u thought it was tylenol3 if its round n fflat from dentist

My friend came back from Mexico with an oblong shaped white tablet with a p on on side and an AS on the other. I told her not to take it without knowing what it is. She was told it was Vicodin but I take Vicodin and it looks nothing like my pills. Anyone know what this is?

im taking loratab 10/500. i have 5mg left. i go to my pain management doc on thurs. i already got tested last month and came out neg. i want to make sure it comes out positive this month. my appt at 3:15pm. when should i take to make sure it is in my urine by my appt time. ## Hi summer, Since Oxycodone can be detected in your urine for up to 3-4 days after your last dose, I would think that taking any within 48 hours of the urine test would be sufficient for a positive result. If you have a quick metabolism and drink plenty of water throughout the day, you may even want to try taking one within 24 hours of your drug test, as Oxycodone is excreted through urine. I hope this helps!

What does lortab 15mg look like ## There is no manufactured Lortab with 15mgs of Hydrocodone in it to describe to you, they are only available with a maximum of 10mgs of the Hydrocodone. Learn more Lortab details here. The only way someone could get a 15mg would be if a doctor specially ordered it and they had it created by a compounding pharmacy and, if that is the case, there would not be any specific markings to give, since they fill their own capsules. Are there any other questions?

i have recently heard of people scraping the powder off the patch and burning it and either snorting or injecting it please tell the people that are abusing this how dangerous this can be. Or tell of an experience someone may have had due to the abuse of the patch this way.scared to death for my son. ## There are several dangers associated with abusing medications in this manner. The first, of course, is the risk of overdosage. Fentanyl is a very potent narcotic, it is so potent that it is actually over 80 times stronger than Morphine. That means even a small amount can be too much for most people. Overdosing can result in permanent injury to your organs, including the heart and, in some cases, it can be fatal. The next issue is the fact that these time released patches contain substanc...

Can Ip 110 hydrocodone cause pruritis? When taking another form of generic hydrocodone, norco, no itching was experienced but it was experienced after taking the first dose of Ip 110. Is the itching a possible side effect of an allergic reaction to IP 110. Is it a dangerous reactionY? ## Almost everyone I know who has taken Hydrocodone (including myself) has also experienced the side effect of itching. 'Pruritus' is a sensation that causes the desire or reflex to scratch. From my perspective, Hydrocodone magnifies this sensation to a large degree, as "itching" is listed as a common side effect of the drug. I do however find it odd that you didn't experience this effect on Norco; but it could be that the inactive ingredients within those tablets were different than th...

This interaction states the following: "MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients. MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression." Regarding pregnancy safety, patient guidelines for Nitrofurantoin note the following: "You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Nitrofurantoi...

pain med starts with the letter a and is mild dont have the harsh side effects as other pain meds do ## Do you have any other information on it, such as it's classification? Is it a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, are narcotic, a Cox-2 Inhibitor? That would really help to narrow it down. ## New pain medicine that is in same class as Ultram. It is under lock and key at pharmacy. It is a type of 'agonist' med? I learned of it in Chronic pain management clinic. Forgot it's name.

I have a blue and green capsule that I was told it was a 30 mg oxycodone pill is this blue and green capsule a 30 mg oxycodone pill. ## Hi sue, Do you have any sort of imprint or marking on your blue and green capsule? If so, I may be able to do some research on whether or not it contains oxycodone and what the dosage might be. If you could please post back with those details or any additional information on the pill itself and where you obtained it, then that could be very helpful too in identifying the capsule! Thanks! -David

Recently I read that one had went in a pharmacy and they were not looking the part of a wholesome or good person, they were denied to have an opiate script filled the pharmacy states they are out of the meds. Later to come back dressed in her sunday best they were not hesitant to give her this script, and it was the same day. I'm not shocked by this...I'm from Cali. We are in the same boat, not just with the meds but doctors stating they did an in office U.A. and then comes out dirty thus sending red flags to E.R. other doctors offices and to ALL pharmacies that the person cannot have any meds unless this doctor says it's okay. I was one as luck has it I am allergic to the Oxy, Morphine, Codine Fam Bam. And they state test is dirty for Oxy. Funi I took a full script left it ...
