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...

Can I see a picture of Lorazepam 2mg RX 774? ## I can confirm for you that pills with this marking and description do contain 2mgs of Lorazepam (NDC 63304-774). Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and irritability. ## Someone help me survive my 90 day prescription of Lorezapam by Teva because after that all the pharmacies in my area carry nothing but the garbage by leading pharma. Got a refill of this junk and almost had grand mall seizure. Anyone please write back with some place I can get Teva or mylan 2mg of Lorazepam. Desperate. ## I did find Teva Lorazepam in a large chain in FL but also found that Leading Pharma the manufacturer of death in our country has recalled over 2 million pills in 2025, and is still in the process.

I take Carvedilol which states that the mfg. is "ZYDU". What is the correct name of this manufacturer and where are they located? ## Zydus Pharmaceuticals Their U.S. headquarters is in Pennington, New Jersey, but they do also have facilities in India. However, regardless of where a medication is manufactured, if it is available to be prescribed in the U.S., then it has met the same strict FDA manufacturing, safety, and efficacy standards as all other prescription medications. Carvedilol may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Ref: Carvedilol Information Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can I take it with propanidol? ## Why is it , this manufacturer's (zydus) Carvedilol is not as effective as other manufactu...

My first injection was this past Thursday (3 days ago). And I’m on Weight Watchers. Can I expect a more than normal weight loss this first week on Wegovy (0.25 mg)? And please share your weight losses and how many pounds you’ve lost so far on this product. Thank you in advance. ## I'm about to start my first dose of Wegovy 2.5 and I was wondering how it will affect me? What was the first month like for you? ## I lost 7 lbs my first month on the .25. My weight loss has been about 1.5 lbs a week. I just recently stayed on the 1mg because the side effects were too hard to handle, bloat, nausea, vomiting, and cramping. My weight loss has slowed down to 1 -.5 lbs a week but at least I'm still losing.

My gastric side effects increased dramatically from .5 to 1mg. Nausea and constipation are my main symptoms. Anyone else have this issue? Will the next increase be worse? ## Yes, the jump from .5 to 1 was hard for me too. Couldn't eat more than 3 or 4 bites of food without feeling like I was going to explode or throw up. I have thrown up every 1 day after a shot. I'm only having a bowel movement once a week and the cramping is horrible. My doctor has kept me here on the 1mg. I just finished my 2nd month, still a few side effects, nausa etc. But I can eat at least enough to fuel my body and I don't have any food noise or as many side effects. My weight loss slowed down to .5 or 1 lb a week instead of the 1.5 or 2 I was getting increasing each month. I'm o.k. staying here ...

It's a small white round pill with a love / heart imprint. I just want to know what it is? ## It's an aspirin. It is a small white round tablet with a heart on 1 side n blank on the other. ## Hello Shar, I wasn't able to find a white pill with a heart imprint but I believe that MellyMel is on the right track with Aspirin. Aspirin pills do sometimes come in yellow round pills with a raised heart imprint. If you are 100% certain that the pill is white and not yellow can you provide a bit more detail on the heart imprint, is it raised or is it depressed into the pill? ## It’s Astrid Asprin 100mg. Small white tablet with a heart on one side. Thins your blood. ## I'm you 6 years ago ## Pink heart is pressed into it. ## What does it do?

I had this 10 mg from torrent and the pharmacy could not supply a refill. I do not like the substitute mfg. How can I get torrent zolpidem? ## Have you tried asking your pharmacy if they can order it in for you? This is a generic for Ambien and the one that a pharmacy carries can change, at any given time, depending on who was offering the cheapest price, when they had to restock their supply. This is how the keep the price as low as possible for customers that don't have insurance. ## Torrent is a Co. from India By local,hell I'd rather be broke n at least know that my $$ was still in Country Semper Fi' ## Recieved RX of 30 tabs Some are Peach-Yellow in color Others are white in color. Isn't that odd? Should they be 2 different colors in the same order? The inmprint on ...

I have a small white tablet that's cross-scored on one side and has 100 on the other. Do they still make these white cross energy pills? ## Do pharmacies in Mexico still prescribe cross tops and the amphetamine pills that aren't made in America anymore? ## Are the white cross energy pills available here in Atlanta Georgia? ## Crossroads, we used to call them. The main ingredient was Amphetamine and you could buy them out of the back of magazines as they advertised them like NODOZE. They would get you flying. ## To those questioning whether white cross energy pills are still available in the US, I'm pretty sure that they've been discontinued. Not to mention, amphetamine (Adderall) now requires a prescription in this day and age. Its presence in other countries such as Mex...

Have you guys experienced yellowish and sometimes brown diahrrea? I asked the doctor PA and she blew it off? I’m trying to determine it’s like a yellowish brown sometimes just sometimes just a normal brown color. I’m trying to determine does that mean something is wrong with my pancreas or does the Linzess cause this? ## I was on 145 mg of linzess. I had explosive diarrhea every morning as well as bloody stools and my doctor still wanted me to take it. I was in constant pain from morning till night and all of that went away when I discontinued use. I take Dulcolax suppositories every other day and that seems to work for me. Yes I would definitely be concerned about the color of your stools while taking linzess. If it has you concerned I would stop taking it even if you...

Hi All, I experience pretty severe neuropathic pain due to a spinal injury. I have a Baclofen pump which also contains hydromorphone but still get a lot of breakthrough pain. I've been taking oxycodone for 8ish yrs. and the pills I was prescribed those first few yrs. did a good job at treating the pain. I've had to change pharmacies and notice lately the oxycodone 30s I've been given lately do little or NOTHING! Especially the Mallinckrodt! My doc prescribed 3 30mg pills a day but I had to munch 5 of the Mallinckrodts in a 4 hour period and still got barely any relief. I was worried I'd get constipated big time after taking that many pills several days in a row but I didn't (because they're so damn weak!) I don't know the mfg. of the oxys I was taking yrs ago...

I have a successful cardio version 2 months ago. I take 200mg Amiodarone and 20mg xarelto daily. I am in a higher insurance tier until Jan 2017 and a 90 day supply of xarelto is $455 (I pay 45%) I don't want to stop taking xarelto but can I take xarelto every other day instead of daily? ## Hello, Ernie! How are you? You should take it as instructed by your doctor, because doing otherwise could put you in life-threatening danger. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising. However, given that this one is so expensive, you may want to ask your doctor about a cheaper alternative that you can try. ## What if there is no other alternative? My copay with Medicare is $569 a month, completely out of ...

In 7 car pile up....need 3 surgeries that were denied by insurance...dr suddenly discharged me and won't even get on phone to say why. I am in constant pain and am going through withdrawal. Any dr. In nj preferably ocean county would really help. ## Hi, Michael! How are you? Sorry about the problem that's arisen for you. However, right now the best thing you can do would be to really look into finding out why they dismissed you. It does concern you and your medical records, so you have a right to know. If they won't tell you, then you may need to request a copy of your medical records from them in order to find out what they have in there. The reason I'm advising you to do this is because it's going to influence what happens with a new doctor. For instance, if for so...

I've been taking Lyrica for nerve pain and also for opiate withdrawal. But I don't like Lyrica so I'm thinking of going back to Gabapentin. I just want to know whether 300mg of Gabapentin could possibly work for me? ## Hello, Amy! How are you? No, Lyrica contains the active ingredient Pregabalin. They are both anticonvulsants that have been shown to help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders, but they are different substances. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight gain. Only your doctor can decide if it may help you and what the appropriate dosage would be. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have lupus, fibromyalgia, Ra and OA I take 300 milligrams of Gabapentin...

I have sublingual strips that have been expired for about a month now. Are they still good? ## They should be fine, especially if they are still sealed in the package. ## @Adrian, Midiman is right... they should be fine since the expiration date wasn't too long ago. Harvard Medical School did a study stating that many medications like this can actually retain their potency for up to 10 to 15 years beyond their expiration date. The shelf life of Suboxone may be listed as 3 years, but I think it's been proven to retain its potency much longer under proper storage conditions. I hope this helps! ## I take 8 mg suboxone and I only take a small piece of it and then put the rest back in the package. As long as it stays sealed and in a dry place they dont lose alot of their potency. ## ...
