Hello, Mel! How are you?

You can, as long as your prescriber approves, the 10mgs tablets are listed as being regular release.

The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, 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?
