I realized my generic medication was dextroamphetamine which is dexedrine and doesn't work for me. It actually gives me a fever and makes me feel ill. I usually take the amphetamine salts combo which is Adderall. How do I remedy the situation with this pharmacy? The doctor wrote it right but the cvs pharmacist is not taking this seriously. They could hurt someone by giving them the wrong drug. I can't take dexedrine, I get feverish and don't feel right on it. What do I do, who can I call to get what I need now? ## Dextroamphetamine immediate release tablet was Dexedrine, but they left that market and it is now Zenzedi. Dexedrine Spansules is the extended release version which would be a capsule. Most, not everyone, but most people will find 100% dextroamphetamine to be stron...

Epic Pharma Adderall does not seem to work at all no matter the dosage. Anyone else experience this? ## I haven’t tried this one. I try to only get Teva because the other ones don’t work well for me. Please report this to the FDA medwatch. You can do it online. They may be bad like the Aurobindo brand. ## We are all different, so which manufacturer's products work for each of us may differ. Adderall is a stimulant medication that is most commonly used to treat ADHD, shift-work sleep disorder, and narcolepsy. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, and insomnia. Ref: Adderall Information What other manufacturer's products have you tried? ## I just wanted to add I recen...

It seems to me that Mirtazapine is a potentially dangerous drug with little information known about it. My veterinarian prescribed this drug in small quantities for my cat as an appetite stimulant, so I began reading articles on the drug and its effects. Although it is supposed to be used as an antidepressant for humans, it has a wide reputation for causing suicidal tendencies in children and young adults. It causes weight gain (the side effect my vet was looking for in my cat's case). It also can cause feelings of depression, and wooziness. I spoke with a nurse who took it and she said the effects of sluggishness and dizziness lasted 2 to 3 days. It can also cause nausea and headaches. It seems to me that these side effects are anything but what a person who is already depressed sh...

I have an orange round pill with no markings and want to know if this is generic Percocet 7.5-325mg? The prescription was filled at a Mexican pharmacy, made by Qualitest. ## Hi Sue, I personally wouldn't trust anything without a marking as there is virtually no way to verify its contents, outside of a lab analysis that usually costs more time and energy than it's worth, at least in my opinion. Qualitest is regarded as a legitimate pharmaceutical manufacturer and the FDA requires them to imprint all pharmaceuticals for distribution in the US. However, in Mexico, I don't know how much a company of this stature can get away with in regards to selling unregulated medication. Do you live in the US and get this filled while visiting Mexico or was the prescription filled at a Mexic...

I filled a prescription for 10 mg generic oxycodone at a pharmacy in Mexico. It is a round white pill with no markings at all. It came in a sealed bottle that says "PERCO 10 mg". Below that, it says "Oxycodone 10 mg". In small print, it states that is manufactured for Generic Lab Inc. Corona CA by Purdue Pharmaceuticals. It even lists the US Patents for the drug. Is this a legit generic drug they were able to release without any markings in Mexico? I only took it once and they did nothing. Should I be afraid to take them? ## It is hard to know for sure. Mexico really does not regulate their medications like the U.S., Canada, and some other countries. Thus, there is no way to be sure what these tablets contain. The FDA warns that Oxycodone carries the risk of being habit ...

I bought it in Nassau Bahamas. Looks like white round percocet. Line down the middle but has zero markings. Can it be right? He popped it out a blister pack but I didn't get to read it. ## Tylenol w/Codeine (#3) is avail in Bahamas w/o ?× (a local drugstore, in Nassau, for example) & have seen them come in blister pack— Use caution!! ## @MM, This really strikes me as being a counterfeit, but without a marking it could literally be anything. I just wouldn't recommend trying it until you have a proven way to verify what it actually is. This may mean that you have to send it off first to be analyzed by a lab for accuracy. Keep in mind that oxycodone is only available by prescription throughout most places in the world and all the legitimate ones tend to have an impri...

I don't know if this is a Percocet 10/325 or not. It is a long white pill with M 523 on one side and 10/325 on the other. ## NO A 10/325 PERCOCET IS LONG OVAL AND YELLOW ## o hell ya it is. its called a perk 10 which has no asporin in it its all good codine they have a peace one and a white one which r 5's ## i meant peach ## idk but i just got alot of them ## im tryin to figure out if they perks or viks ## 10/325 XODOL ## is there a NAME for generic Percoset? ## Well first of all, the colors of pills are not proprietary, so not all Percocets are yellow, the only way to tell what it is, is to look up the imprint code. The sizes, shapes and colors of pills can vary greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer once a pill is released for generic production as there are NO regulations...

There are all these conspiracy theories about clonazepam generics, the FDA heavily regulates these and cannot have > +/- 20% of active ingredient. I too favor the tevas, but those are the old school generics and I think we just have an emotional attachment/ placebo effect to with regard to them. These placebo/mental effects can cause REAL withdrawal symptoms (my psychiatrist is one of the top pain/anxiety management docs in Texas). Also certain message boards dont even allow generic brand comparisons because there can be no noticeable difference between generic brands in terms of the effectiveness, but there may be placebo effects on addiction/withdrawal. Does anyone have any non-anecdotal evidence to support certain generics being worse than others? ## If you really want to read up...

I know I’m not crazy I’ve suffered from panic attacks and anxiety so bad I can hardly get in a car or leave my house. I have taken clonazepam for 8 years and has helped me live my life getting out of the house. For the last 2 years I noticed that it wasn’t working anymore. I was suffering from insomnia and I had bad diarrhea. So I stopped clonazepam just to see and after 8 years you would think I would have withdrawals but no very little. My anxiety is the same with or without. I thought maybe I built up tolerance… well I got a new generic accord and I feel as I’m taking that medication again. It works!!!! I can go places and be social. Leave the house!!! I know it’s the AVAGEN Clonazepam. They are as good as placebo. Now I have complained to the manu...

Can I use expired Crestor also known as Rosuvastatin after the expiration date? Maybe 2 or 4 months after expiration? Does it become toxic or just lose effectiveness? ## They just begin to lose efficacy, so it would be best to dispose of them and obtain a new supply. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My mom has Crestor that expired in 2013. Is it safe to take? The bottle has been open. ## So Rosuvastatin, is safe to take after they expired, but lose efficiency? ## Take it. Expiration date mandated by FDA. Just means manufacturers guarantee potency up to that date. Could probably use well past that date.

I was taking Mallinckrodt oxycodone 5 mg and I had ZERO side effects. My pharmacy switched to Rhodes Pharma (God only knows why). But, after just taking 1 before bedtime, my heart was racing out of control, I didn't sleep at all, and woke up in a lot of pain and feeling all sweaty. I also wasn't able to have a bowel movement (a problem I never had with Mallinckrodt). Anyhow, I called multiple pharmacies and NOBODY has Mallinckrodt brand. Guess I will have to sit here and wait until I have convulsions, a heart attack or just die (since I can't take these pills)! While the DEA says they are trying to PREVENT OPIOID PROBLEMS, what they're really doing is CAUSING MORE PEOPLE TO DIE! Those who DO abuse opioids - I say, "SCREW THEM!" I, for one, never abused my meds. A...

Methadone is the worst drug. There are alternative ways to detox from opiates. I experienced cold turkey withdrawals after being on methadone for 12 years (90 mg. daily). Living hell. Severe withdrawals lasted two weeks, but less severe withdrawals lasted two months. Further withdrawals lasted for months. I couldn't think, walk, write... I was so miserable. If you are on Vicodin, Norco, etc., don't switch to Methadone. You have no idea what you're playing with. Trust someone who's been there (clean date: 2/1/2005) ## Hello, Caowens! How are you? I'm very sorry about what you've been through, but also congratulate you on sticking it out and becoming clean. Your post is very much appreciated, because many people do seem to see Methadone as a miracle drug, but they ...

I just started 30mg Mirtazapine for sleep; weened off Lunesta 2mg, to 1mg, to stopping. First night of 30mg Mitazapine wiped me out the next day. Tried again second night and did not get out of bed second day. Felt like I had the flu. Took 1mg Lunesta 3rd night and slept like a baby. Felt strongly ok the 3rd day. Should I cut this down to 10 or 15 mg Mirtazapine and keep trying with this medication? Or stop since I had such a bad experience first two nights?

How long does hydralazine last in your system? ## Hello, Kd! How are you? Hydralazine is classified as a vasodilator that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure.

Just letting everyone know that I just did the newest Efudex treatment protocol which requires mixing 50% Efudex with 50% Dovonex (vitamin D) and it was very fast and easy. Four days of application of the combo "lit up" my face and 7 days later my face and scalp were virtually back to normal. Minimal pain, like a sunburn, and no scabbing, pus, etc. I was really scared to do the longer treatment after reading blogs and looking at pictures, but the new treatment is a piece of cake. Plus, according to related articles, it actually works better. A real win-win!

Would you please tell me who is the manufacturer of Vasculera, a new drug for circulatory problems? And where is it made? ## Yes, it appears to be made in the USA. According to the official drug label, Primus Pharmaceuticals is the distributor, but it is actually manufactured by a company called Capstone Nutrition, LLC. They appear to be located in Ogden, Utah. ## Hello, Helen! How are you? Vasculera is actually a prescription food product, it's not considered a drug. It's manufactured by Primus Pharmaceuticals. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is Vasculera made in the USA or another country?

I have a client who wears fentanyl patch. Can she take tramadol while wearing this patch? ## Yes, there are many occasions when different pain medications are prescribed together to give better pain control or to get pain relief faster, while waiting for a time released medication, like the Fentanyl patch, to being working. She should be informed, however, that they both can cause CNS depression, so she has to watch for signs of severe problems, like lowered breath rate, lowered heart/pulse rate and low low blood pressure. It can also cause more side effects than usual, so she may experience worse dizziness, drowsiness, nausea and constipation. Also remember that any other medication and medical conditions must be taken under consideration when using medications, so make sure her doctor...
