I Took One Percocet .5mg for a broken tooth this is the first one that I took in months. Had To Take A Drug Test The Next Morning would i fail it ## Like most other narcotics, the Oxycodone in Percocet can be detectable in a standard urine test for approximately 4 to 5 days, after taking it. There is, however, no way to give a precise time frame, because individuating factors are always going to come into play, such as your own metabolism, overall health, activity levels, fluid intake and etc. Did you pass the test?

I Took One Percocet .5mg for a broken tooth this is the first one that I took in months. Had To Take A Drug Test The Next Morning would i fail it ## How did the test turn out? Like most other narcotics, the Oxycodone in Percocet can be detectable in a standard urine test for approximately 4 to 5 days, after taking it. There is, however, no way to give a precise time frame, because individuating factors are always going to come into play, such as your own metabolism, overall health, activity levels, fluid intake and etc. ## Hi helen, Information I was able to gather states that the half life of Oxycodone (in Percocet) is between 3 and 4.5 hours depending on several factors. So every 3-4.5 hours, 50% is lost. For example, in 6-9 hours, 40mg of Oxycodone will have become 10mg, as two half ...

Just prescribed for on Morphine Sulfate SA. Would like to know to what effect this will be different from 4-10 mg hydrocodone/500 APAP, daily ? ## They are both narcotics, so the side effects are going to be very similar, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation. However, the SA stands for sustained action, so the Morphine is a time released product that is meant to help give you better pain control. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm looking for a 7/32 Dia white placebo pill to substitute for 2 mg. Dilaudid ## I'm sorry, but I cannot help you with this. Since we are based in the U.S. we have to abide by the relevant laws and substituting a placebo or over the counter product for a prescription medication for the purposes or fraud and/or deception would be considered illegal. In addition, all prescription tablets have unique markings on them to enable their identification, which are registered with the FDA and these markings are not allowed to be duplicated on other medications, or over the counter products, so you won't be able to find anything that would hold up to knowledgeable scrutiny. Are there any other questions or comments? ## I found a small white pill with a 2 on one side and M on the other...

A doctor had me on 30 mgs of oxycodone two every three hrs.I have been on this med for more than 14 years and the reason he kept me on this like he did was thast i couldnt afford the long acting.First was it wrong for him to do and if so exactly why and second what are we going to do about the war on doctors and what can a person do to get the help they need.Im not a drug and i am on per disability for real health problems but its a forest trying to get help nopw days,any suggetions. ## It isn't wrong for a doctor to try to help with your pain to the best of his ability and in a manner that you agree with. Everyone's tolerance to medications can vary, so what's used, the dosage and frequency have to be individualized. As to the other issue, your best bet to get the help you ...

Hello, I am 32 yrs old and have been on opana er 2 daily with an average of 5 vicoden daily for breakthrough pain management for 2 years now. I have the option of undergoing back surgery but no one is very optomistic that it will provide satisfactory pain relief. I am not big on taking pills but they do provide adequate relief. I am concerned about long term organ damage due to the medication since I have my whole life ahead of me. My grandfather was perscibed morphine for his cancer and experienced severe organ damage within a couple of years so I am concerned about taking drugs for rest of my life, especially since what I have read indicates that tolerances will build and doses will inevitably increase with time. Thanks everybody for your time, Ken. ## There is always the risk of orga...

In pain. used op80s twice daily for pain mgmt. Noticed tolerance level went from 20 mgs and up...very fast. realizing my body became dependent in just four months....I quit cold turkey. On day 7 now with just the runs. First time on these so I guess I don't really know what was to be expected. Anyway, I'm in pain but scared to take my meds again at a lower dosage. If I took a 30 mg now, will I have to go thru withdraws all over again? ## No insurance, saved n spent just to go to a pain dr to get on these damn evil pills. So if u say just go to a dr to get new meds..id love to but with no money or insurance its hard getting help you actually need. Not knockon anyone for using as they wish. Not my business....just looking for straight answers to my question. Thank u ## Withdrawals...

I needed some pain meds and found an old bottle of Ibuprofen in my drawer and wondered if it has lost some potency or would be harmful? ## Certain drugs are actually okay to take after expiration, whereas others such as antibiotics can become toxic. My personal assumption is that it lost a good percentage of its potency by now, having been 5 years old. It may still be somewhat effective, but not nearly as potent. It's also impossible to give a direct answer to this question, since each medication can effect people differently. We all know that it's better to avoid the expired drugs and stay on the safe side, but unfortunately, the only way to find out if it works is to actually try it. I wouldn't suggest taking that risk, but if you have no other option then it's probabl...

4 weeks 60 mg morpine then 2 weeks 45 mg morphine then 30 mg for one week then 15 mg one week what can i expect for withdrawl symptoms ## Yes, you will likely still experience some withdrawal symptoms, which can include dizziness, irritability, diarrhea, nausea, chills and rebound pain. Have you consulted your doctor? They may be able to make suggestions on what can help you prevent these types of symptoms.

i want the name of this pill i have its small circle and a little bit thick iys a peacy tan color and one side says 40 the other side says op ## 40mg oxycontin. The P stands for the pharmaceutical company who makes it. But its oxycontin. If you'd never taken it before, I wouldnt if I were u. Unless prescribed by a dr. they are addicting. And I'm not saying it lightly. You get dependent on em very fast. Sorry. Im.sure you weren't looking for my opinion of the pill, but rather just the answer to your question. Its a 40mg oxycontin ## That is correct, this is a 40mg Oxycontin tablet, even though the manufacturer describes the color as yellow, it is much more a peach/tan color. It is a very potent narcotic analgesic that may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, constip...

I have chronic back pain cronic nerve damage at l4 and And I wasn't to know what is the dosage for me to take for pain on a 1- 10 pain level I'm currently at an 9 ## What has your doctor told you to take? These types of medications are usually taken once, every 4 to 6 hours, as needed for pain, but due to the Acetaminophen, you should not exceed 8 doses in a day.

I have frequest migraines that last several days. A nurse friend suggested I try Dilaudid. Is this something that is effective for migraines? And does it come in generic form? I have no insurance. Thank you. ## I have suffered from migraine's for over 30 years. Very,Very BAD ones. The only medicine that works for me is Fiorinal #3 ( pronounced : fear - in - nal # 3 - # 3 means with codeine ) as long as your not allergic to codeine. It's an old time remedy, but I've tried all the new stuff and nothing else works, This does. Try it and you will see for yourself. ## Oh forgot the Fiorinal # 3 does come in a generic, it's what I get. It REALLY will work. ## Dilaudid contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, it is a very potent narcotic and, it is often the first choice i...

Please explain to me why your company took at least 3 plus days to deliver the compounding base formula of Fentanyl to the pharmaceutical companies to prepare and deliver the product on time so that patients like myself and so,so, many others didn't have to suffer this past week. My appointment was changed by my doctor 3 times and my Interthecal Pain Pump had been alarming for 2 of those days. Even after starting my break through medication I still detoxed. When I finally was told my meds were in and to come in to the doctors office I was not alone everyone in the room was sick detoxing and all pumps were alarming. I want answers. Because as far as I can tell this is your fault, I'm angry and I'm not the only one. There's no reason for your action!!! ## No, actually it&#...

I was in a car wreck and have a disabled child. My mom gave me some of her percocets. To help with my back pain. I just had to take a drug test today not thinking about them also checking for prescription drugs. I have a prescription for Hydrocodone. Would percocets show up as percocets or just as a narcotic? I'm wondering if I could pass my hydrocodone prescription off as the one in my system. I haven't taken one in 4 days. So hopefully it won't even show up. Does anyone know how each medicine shows up? I also take muscle relaxers that was prescribed. ## It actually depends on the type of test they do. The basic tests just show the presence of certain substances, such as narcotics or amphetamines, however, there are also more in depth tests that look for specific metabolite...

What is the highest dose of lartaps cuz i got 10s but it seems like it wasnt working then i got 7.5 then it kickedmme in the butt ## Lortab contains the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, while the Hydrocodone is a narcotic, there is a reason that Acetaminophen is also in them and part of that reason is due to the fact that it helps the narcotic work better. That said, how much Acetaminophen was in each of the tablets you took? ## You might also check to see if you were given percocet instead of lortab. Percocet sometimes works better for people than lortab though there are only slight differences. For me lortab works best. 10's are the highest.

it's a octagon shaped yellow pill with 40 written on one side and the other side is blank. ## i found a yellow ocatgon pill with the number 40 on one side of it shouls i be concern? ## This is an Opana 40 mg ER (extended release). It is a very potent pain killer. I have been taking this medication since Oct 09 and not only is it very strong, but it is extremely hard to get off of if you have been on it for over 2 weeks. The withdrawl is very bad. I had non stop vomiting when I tried to stop this medication. I have done searches on the internet for this medication and have found that most people who are taking this for recreational purposes instead of pain control are also abusing the medication to get an immediate intense high. I would be very concerned about this medication. ## the...
