I am supposed to take 10 mgs of hydrocodone 3 times a day. I haven't taken any in a few days because I also take neurontin and it has made me very sick but, I need to get my refills.

I have been taking hydrocodone 10-325 (made by Watson) for about a year. I picked up my prescription yesterday and instead of the normal yellow pill, I received a white oblong pill imprinted with m367 on it. I took 2 for breakthrough pain and had no relief what-so-ever. I called the pharmacy and was told that they will no longer be able to get the med from Watson. Does anyone know what has happened? I have chronic pain, and these white ones from Amneal Pharmaceuticals is not going to cut it. Has anyone else experienced this? ## Hello, Dano! How are you? There's no way to know which manufacturer's product your pharmacy will carry at any given time. You might be better served to talk to your doctor about trying a different medication. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the po...

A pink oblong pill with BP CAR on one side and 100 MG on the other side. Trying to identify it. ## I have read several posts asking about this same thing, but so far, no one has been able to find an identification for it. It is not listed in any of the U.S. prescription drug resources. Do you have any other information on it? Was it found in the U.S. or elsewhere? ## I had these pills that were given to me by my vet for my dog. He said it was reduce swelling due to an eye injury. On the paper work, it says what looks like vetprofin (it is 75 milligrams though not 100) hope that helps ## It's Vetprofen 100 MG - given to my dog for pain & inflammation due to arthritis caused by hip dysplasia. It's an NSAID. ## This medicine has given to my dog by a vet for the same reason ## T...

I have been using brand name Norco 10 325 for some time. recently because of the DEA I cannot get them and nowi mallinckrodt s the only drug my pharmacy sells. I have read so many bad things about them on the internet, frankly I am about to have a nervous breakdown as I recently had rotator cuff surgery and I have to have the pain control to complete my therapy. I have heard good things but everyone says that the one to say the good things are crazy. help!!! ## I understand your concern, however, the only way to know if they will help you, or not, is to actually try them! You're not doing yourself any good by getting upset over it, please calm down. :-) It isn't that the people on either side of what you've read are crazy, it's that everyone is different, so some may not...

I have a Medtronic's pain pump. When brand name Dilaudid is being used I do just fine. When the Dr. refills and puts generic Hydromorphone (without changing the dosage), within hours I'm stumbling & losing my balance & very light headed. Dr, says there is no difference they are made the same. If they are the same then why do I have bad results without knowing that he put the generic in? I can't stand & close my eyes without hanging on to something or I will fall in 2 or 3 seconds. ## What I wanted to know about my earlier post today is ! they talk about fillers being different between brand name Dilaudid and the generic Hydromorphone can you help me in any way? Help! ## Hello, Leonard! How are you? Yes, under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, generics are allowed to ...

Just got Camber Pharm generic Percocet at Walgreens instead of the Actavis brand. It's giving me an upset stomach and causing me to feel weird. Has anyone else had a similar reaction? ## What is the dosage? Can you please post back and clarify? Is it the yellow tablet with T 194 imprinted on it? (NDC 31722-194, 10/325 dosage) Or is it another variation of the dosage from Camber? Percocet is a narcotic analgesic. The FDA warns that it's risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and dry mouth. Editor's note: the information below is from message # 294 which displays the inactive ingredients (fillers) as listed on the manufacturer's website. Inactive Ingredients: - colloidal silicon dioxide - croscarmellose sod...

How long does it take for the side effects to go away after discontinuing the drug? I stopped it one week ago and continue to have severe anxiety, vasodilation (red blotchy skin), and GI upset including bloating and gas. ## Hello Patty, There is no solid literature that states the length of the side effects. What the NIH does state is that if you are experiencing these symptoms that you should notify your doctor. I am certain that your physician will have a much better timeline of how long your symptoms will last based on their severity. I apologize that I wasn't able to find an exact answer but I hope that your doctor will have a good estimate. ## Thank you for your comments. Side effects are lessening by baby steps each day. I've been told that if you have a serious side effec...

I recently had to take a drug screen and tested positive for opiates. I said I wanted it retested & it came back saying it was positive for opiates, morphine hydromorphone. I absolutely DID NOT take any of them. I can’t understand why/how this could have happened. I’m very concerned. I did have Poppyseed salad dressing the night before. I had no idea that it could make a false positive screen. However the confirmation test says I took actual drugs. How could this be possible if I didn’t. If you could help me I would be forever grateful. Idk what other information you might need. Please let me know. Ty

Have always had this in the med cabinet for occasional stomach cramps. Am finally running low. I'm 67 years old. Suggestions? ## I've seen many questions about this product recently and I can only inform you that it has been discontinued. The main problem with it is that it contained a tincture of Opium, which lead to severe abuse and addiction in some people. These dangers led to it being pulled from the market. From what I understand, it is now only available by prescription, in the U.S. You may want to ask your doctor or pharmacist for a product that can help with stomach cramping. Proper treatment requires discovering what is causing the cramping. ## I too are trying to figure out what they are doing with Paragoric. I have had a prescription for about 1 year. I used it if Lo...

I am an 81 year old female who was started on diltiazem sr 120 mg 5 days ago for SVT. I was on metoprolol 25 mg 3x a day for over a month which caused severe fatigue and breakthrough arrhythmias. Doc switched me to diltiazem SR 120 mg. I’m having tremors, way less fatigue than occurred on metoprolol, facial flushing, irregular heartbeats, increased blood pressure that subsides later in the day, and some lack of concentration. Should I soldier through taking the med and wait for the side effects to stop?

PLEASE HELP! For the past 7yrs I've been on 1mg Xanax (3x) per day for anxiety and panic attacks. I take my dosage of Xanax as prescribed by my Dr unless I have a severe panic attack, then I may take an additional (1-2) 1mg xanax when I'm actually having a severe full blown panic attack to stop it. I've been on other Benzos before but Xanax seems to be the only thing that stops the panic attacks when I'm having them. Recently my Dr decided to switch me from 1mg Xanax (3x) per day to 10mg of Valium (2x) per day because he says Valium is "stronger" and has a longer half life than Xanax. He says the Xanax isn't working for my anxiety anymore. From what I've read on the Internet about Xanax vs Valium is that Xanax works better than Valium for panic attacks. I...

Today my doc told me to reduce my Zoloft from 100 MG to 50 MG for the next 6 days. On the 7th day I will begin 10 MG of Brintellix in the morning with breakfast. If I experience any sleepiness I should start taking it in the evening. My follow up visit is scheduled for June 29. I have tried many amtidepressants over the years with minimal to moderate success. I hope this is magic bullet. ## don't do it! i have been on ssri meds for over 20 yrs. dr started me on trintellix 3 wks ago. have not been out of the house since then due to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue and more.

I just found Rumoquin NF at Mexipharmacy. They don't seem to take credit cards, but offer other ways to buy. I've been taking Arthrotec 75 for about 14 years for arthritis all over my body. My pain seems to respond favorably to diclofenac and Arthrotec 75 contains misprostol as well, a stomach protectant. However, I ran out when last in Mexico and was sold Rumoquin NF at a farmacia. The diclofenac worked its wonders, but the additional ingredients, dexamethasone and methocarbamol, seem to potentiate the relief. Rumoquin NF is also orders of magnitude cheaper and I generally need take only one per day. Win/win. ## i would like to order some of the rumoquin how much is it? im from sacramento, ca ## Stacey, try mexipharmacy. Rumoquin NF is not easy to find, but seems to be sold pri...

Can I take Levofloxacin 500mg for tooth infections? My tooth is broken in half with a lot of pain added to it. ## Yes, it is an antibiotic that can be used to treat various types of bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. However, it is also important to still seek proper treatment, or this issue will likely continue to keep getting worse. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My tooth has been hurting me for 1 week. I've been getting excruciating pain on the side of my head & my breath smells bad... I have levofloxacin 500 mg.

The pill is white round imprinted with RP and 7.5 325. Manufactured by rhodes pharmaceuticals. It is oxycodone/acetaminophen. Have there been any reviews good or bad on this pill or compared to other manufacturers? ## Hello, Robert! How are you? I've not read a lot of complaints about it, so far, but that could change at any time. It seems that this tablet is just not becoming more common, so more people are receiving it from their pharmacies. Have you tried them? How do they work for you? The FDA classifies this medication 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. ## I just received a script and they was from Rhodes Pharmaceuticals they was the 5/325 oxyco...

Hi. I hope someone can help me. I was told that my BP is too low now and I was to be taken off the Maxzide immediately. I was shocked. Anyway. Now that I am off I am swelling up horrible and she says this is normal. ??? Please someone help me with this. It doesn't feel normal. ## Hello, Jenny! How are you? Yes, a sudden withdrawal of a diuretic, such as Maxzide can cause fluid retention. However, how is your blood pressure, now? That is a concern, because too much fluid retention could cause it to rise to dangerous levels or result in congestive heart failure. Are you on any other blood pressure medications? Other side effects of this medication, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dehydration. ## Hello Verwon. I am miserab...

Can anybody give me some advice or their own experiences with pain management doctors in Charlotte North Carolina? I suffer from chronic pain in my neck, lower back, and primarily in my left leg from a severe knee injury in '09. I broke my Tibia, Fibula, tore my acl, pcl, and the perineal nerve. My ortho surgeon said I had a 50/50 chance of having dropfoot due to the severity of nerve damage even if the reconstructive surgery went well. Luckily that did not happen, but I did have to have a 2nd surgery about 7 months later due to unexplained pain where my pcl is located and limited movement and strength gaining. The surgery was arthoscopic and although he said he removed more scar tissue than he had ever seen(what he assumed was causing my limited motion too), he said it looked like ...

Anyone taking Sun brand hydrocodone 10/325? How does it compare to the other generics available? ## I used to take sun pharma generic suboxone and it’s trash. I’ve tried ever generic and this is the worst. It’s the reason I pay 75 more bucks to do the films. I refuse ANY medication from sun pharma. It’s from India and has been shut down for mold, rats very unsanitary. I will be so glad when all our meds are made in America. All this info is online easy to find. I’m sure the hydrocodone is awful ## The best Quist 3601 ,the best, government shut them down.

Anyone think this is just as effective as Vicodin and Watson etc? Thanks :) ## Not even close. My pain seems the same. I've taken two at a time and it's had no effect at all. ## Yes, I have really suffered in pain this month on tris pharma and will never try them again. My chiropractor is making a lot of money this month LOL more than his usual amount. I told my pharmacist and he said he will not order them next month. I actually have a science degree, and I looked up the background of Watson which is now owned by Teva pharmaceuticals (originally out of Israel) they seem top-notch! And they produce Watson. Thank you for your reply :-) ## Please correct me if I'm wrong Kitty, but didn't Watson acquire Actavis and change their name to 'Actavis'? (Re: actavis.co.id/...
