Hi.. im from Dallas. First let me start by saying every time i receive yellow bars they are always legitimate. Now I have a couple and something is different. They are yellow and have that taste at the end, but my question is are they fake, cause every time i take one i feel them within 10 min. These break so easy! And they just don't look the same. Could xanax go out of date? ## I just read where the yellow 2 mg bars maked R039 are in three sections only. Read on this page. Thats incorrect. Just pulled up and correct has 4 sections. ## Sorry to hear about your bars. I got ripped off before too and was sick as a parrot. ## sometimes bars can be soft. I always chew mine up so I know but just cuz theyre soft doesn't mean they are fake. sometimes they are rock hard too and real ## ...

I've tried and used Teva/Barr, Lannett, Core pharma, AURO (worst imo), and now just got Rhodes. Not sure if Rhodes is making me spacey, sleepy, anxious and low energy, bloated, headache. All are often indications that the active ingredients are meh. There are so many manufacturers out nowadays, it's a revolving door and it's adding to the already difficult challenges many people have experienced since the pandemic. Lordy. Rhodes? Anyone? ## How are you doing taking the product from Rhodes, now? Has there been any change? The FDA considers all generic medications to be therapeutically equivalent. They warn that Adderall carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, anorexia, mood changes, and anxiety. Ref: Adderall Informmatio...

I have been on Lyrica for about 8 months now and I am having fantastic results. My dr is trying to increase my dosage and I have been doing it in 50 mg increments. I am up 100 more now in a month, for a total dosage of 400mg. I find that I have very bad recall and loss of my vocabulary during conversation. It eventually goes away, but I was wondering if anyone else has this? If it keeps up, I just may have to drop back down 50mg until I get used to it? That seemed to work that last time I had to raise it.BTW, I have nerve pain in my ribcage. (not caused by shingles) ## It is a possible reaction to this med, it is listed as a side effect that you should see your doctor about if you experience it. You can see it in the monograph listing here: Pregabalin Details Have you consulted your doc...

My husband has a bad back (bull stepped on him in high school) he's 37 now, and needs surgery. We cannot do that right now, so he's been on oxycodone 30mg, but we've moved 16 hours away from old dr. Need new dr in Ohio preferably near Canton, but at least somewhere near. Can anyone please help us find a Dr. who prescribes that. We've been looking, & not having any luck. Any advise would be great!! ## The best piece of advice I can give you is to get him an appointment to see a new doctor, but don't ask ahead of time if they will prescribe any particular medication. When you do that, doctors view it as being drug seeking behavior and will usually just say that they don't prescribe, don't treat such things or whatever excuse they can come up with to not tak...

OMGOSH... I can not believe I am asking this, but.... I am on month 4 of Contrave and my urine has an odor. I have looked at the side effects and I do not see that as one of them.... Does anyone else have this issue or is it just me? ## Almost any medication can cause such a side effect, according to NIH studies, since you are adding a new chemical to your body. However, if you start experiencing other symptoms, such as pain, burning when urinating, or blood in your urine, please see your doctor, as soon as possible. Are you on any other medications? ## I’m having the same issue. Going to see doctor to make sure it isn’t another problem, but I’m almost positive it’s the Contrave. Started about a month in as well. ## Yes, yes, yes. I am entering my third month on ...

Round adderall 30mg tablets that are orange with 3|0 on one side but when you flip the pill over, the AD is upside down. I've never been prescribed these before. Are these legit or counterfeit or from Mexico or something? Please help ## Do they look like the tablets pictured here? It sounds like an old discontinued tablet. Were they recently dispensed by your pharmacy? If you have the labeling, could you share the NDC code?

I got prescribed Adderall 30 mg. The pills are light orange with AD one one side and 3|0 on the back. They are thick circle pills but there are two dark orange pills and they are thin. What is this? ## I question the legitimacy of these pills because this is an imprint belonging to a discontinued version of Adderall from Shire (NDC 54092-0377) [1]. ## Where did you get these? Texas? I had a similar experience recently and would like to compare notes. ## I recently traveled to Mexico and was prescribed and provided these same AD 30 pills. 60 tablet bottle with Shire label. ## I wonder if they're still being manufactured for other countries then. ## Did you get this figured out?

I have these blue round tablets that say they are diazepam. They are a light blue with one side marked with an x and the other side marked ms. They are from cambodia. Are these the real deal? ## I'm sorry, but from this marking, I cannot tell you with any certainty. That is one of the hazards of ordering from foreign sources. They are not regulated like those approved in the U.S., so there is no comprehensive database of their markings. From the little information I can find, the drug Zepam is from India and contains Clonazepam, not Diazepam. Same drug class, but different medication. Is anyone else familiar with the tablets? ## zepam is klonopin ; works well. ## I have been taking Lexapro for anxiety and depression for years with varying results.

Does anyone have suggestions as to how to pay for Linzess? Medicare Part D will pay only $47 per month. ## Hmmm, unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a generic for Linzess as of writing this, which means that even with a discount code it's still an expensive drug:

This medication is weak compared Actavis oxycodone ## Hi Jay, How would you rank the mallinckrodt vs actavis on a scale on 1-10? I know a lot of patients who've been used to taking certain brands have also complained about actavis as well, but in my experience I'm finding the that primary differences people have are based on a variety of individual factors; such as tolerance, age, weight, metabolism, etc. Not only that but because both manufacturers use a different set of "inactive" ingredients (binders/fillers), this could also influence how much of the oxycodone is actually being metabolized and used by your body at any given time. These are the fillers used in mallinckrodt's (M 30) oxycodone 30mg tablet: microcrystalline cellulose + lactose monohydrate + stearic a...

How long does it usually take for your system to get used to the medication? ## Amlodipine and Benazapril are both medications commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. It can take approximately 4 to 6 weeks for your body to adjust to any medication, which is also about the same length of time they will take to reach their full efficacy levels in your body. Have you been experiencing side effects? How long have you been taking them? ## Burning lips, itching, & dry soreness are some of the symptoms I've experienced. ## Ive been taking Amlodipine_benazepril 5-20MG for about 12 days and Im still getting headaches and feel emotional

My doctor and I had discussed my quitting taking Clonopin 0.5 mg. as I have taken for so long, so he told me he would submit a placebo at some time without telling me. Got my RX filled and keep sweating and getting headaches. Could this be from the placebo as the pill looks and has the same imprint as the original one I was taking. How can you tell? ## What kind of doctor would do that to you? That's crazy. You should be tapered off any medication like that. I would find a new doctor. ## If it has the same marking, then it is the same medication. Your doctor cannot manufacture and them have a pharmacy give you a fake pill, especially with the marking that is registered with the FDA as containing that medication. Doing such would be illegal. And the other poster is correct, this type...

Hi, I've been on 300mg Seroquel 4 years. My pharmacy doesn't have any currently but said they have Zyprexa. Does anyone know what Zyprexa mg equals 300mg of Seroquel ? My doctor is out of town till next week, then I will ask him too. Thank you. ## I would confirm with a pharmacist but if I do some math based on the findings in this pubmed article, which states: Doses equivalent to 100 mg/day of chlorpromazine were 2 mg/day for risperidone, 5 mg/day for olanzapine, 75 mg/day for quetiapine, 60 mg/day for ziprasidone, and 7.5 mg/day for aripiprazole. So if we take that at face value and assume that 5 mg/day Olanzapine (Zyprexa) is equivalent to 75 mg/day Queiapine (Seroquel): 5 / 75 ~ 0.0667 Therefore, 300 mg Seroquel * 0.0667 ~ 20 mg Zyprexa. Please note that clinical effects (li...

So confused.. There are some of these that are really crumbly and look a lot darker than the ones I originally saw. They taste a lot grosser and are unpleasant.. They also melt in your hand and I didn't recall them doing that before.. ## @Natalie, First things first, depending on whether or not you're getting these filled at a real licensed pharmacy (which you didn't mention), there's really no way to know if what you're getting is real outside of having each tablet analyzed by a lab for verification. This is because counterfeits are becoming increasingly similar to legitimate versions of the same drug, often possessing the same imprint, color, and shape. So in my opinion, the most important thing you can do in such situations is to just be upfront and honest with yo...

I have some A 51 30 mg oxycodones and noticed that they turn a yellow/green when damp. I know one of the inactive ingredients is D&C yellow #10 so that may be the cause, but I wanted to check to see if anyone else has noticed the same thing and make sure that it is normal. Thanks for any help in advance. ## I spilled a little water on 1 of my A 51's and it changed color too. Is there a reason this happens? ## Hello, Mike and Jen! How are you both? Moisture can affect the shade, color and tone of virtually anything, including pills. Depending on the specific type of water, you may see different colors at different times, due to small chemical reactions. For instance, you may see a different color from tap water, than from purified water, since there are chemicals in the tap water...

I'm sick and wanted to know if I can take mucinex fast max with my methadone, and if it is ok to do so? ## I didn't find any problems or interactions listed, but you should double check this information to be certain.
