I have celebrex 200mg from 2014, could I still use these? ## Hello, Merry! How are you? This medication doesn't become toxic after the expiration date, but it does lose effectiveness and probably won't work as well as it did, when new. Thus, it would be best to see your doctor for a new prescription. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Does anyone know if there is a shortage of the generic opanas? My pharmacy said they can't get the moons or the g from two different suppliers. I am in the Knoxville area. ## Hello, Cowboy! How are you? I'm sorry that you're having a problem finding your medication. Actually, there is usually a shortage for the last few months of the year, due to mandatory manufacturing limits. Once a manufacturer reaches their allotted yearly limit, they cannot manufacture any new product, until after the new year. Every year, demand exceeds supply and we end up with a shortage. This is 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. The best suggestion I can make is to speak to ...

I used to take oxycontin (all where white) for years without any problem, Just started taking them again in dosage of 20mg. I have terrible stomach aches and mouth sores which my entire tounge is starting to turn white. It is painful on my tounge and in my throat and ears. If I scrape it off it bleeds. Besides that I am getting great pain relief from the stluff! Is there any way I can get hold of the old oxycontins or another formulation? I read other people were nausiated from the op's and I did not belive the but I do now. ## Hello, Mia! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you're having. As to the original Oxycontin, no, it is no longer being manufacturer. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such ...

I would like people to use this thread to make it known when Adderall becomes available again in their area. I live in Miami, and do not like having to go from pharmacy to pharmacy every day to find out if I can fill my prescription or if it is still "back ordered". Huge waste of time. ## Schedule II meds are delivered once a week. If you ask when they get their next order in, you would only have to go to the pharmacy once a week.

Never open this bottle, brand new. Can I still use this? Expiration date is 3/2014 ## Hello, Sha! How are you? Since this is a supplement, rather than an actual drug, I do not have information on its stability available. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer to check? Are they capsules or tablets? ## Vitamins are generally safe and still effective to take up to 1 year past expiration date if they were stored properly. ## I have a bottle of b12 never opened exited 1 year been stored in cool dark place want to know if i can still can still use it

Early monday morning (04/14/2014), I took my last dose of 1mg (.01ml) liquid. I was both scared and excited too. I have been going to the same old methadone clinic since 09/27/2007. That has been a long time. When I first started taking the methadone, the dose was between 15-30mg liquid. I quickly escalated to my highest dose of 120mg in Jan, 2008. I was on the same dose of 120mg for almost 2 years and I was sick and tired of how it made me feel. All I wanted to do was remain in my bed and sleep. I finally decided that I wanted off of this stuff and for good. I did not want to be a lifer on methadone and carrying those little lock boxes back and forth from the clinic. So on 8/7/2009, I dropped down 10mg. I felt fine. I had more energy and I told myself that I could do this, so every mon...

Is it safe to take them still. November 2014 ## Hello, Kelly! How are you? This medication doesn't become dangerous, after the expiration date, but it does begin to lose effectiveness, so it would be best to dispose of it and obtain a new supply. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Have a legitimate prescription for Hydrocodone 5/325 but have been all over Orlando and no pharmacy has them in stock. Have tried them all - Walgreens, CVS, Target, WalMart, etc. Can anyone help? If you know any pharmacy where you've had some success, please be willing to share. I am out tomorrow and am growing anxious and afraid. I don't know what else I can do. ## I was on this med for a while. I went though a period of cant find it also back a couple years ago. Its more than likely a shortage of the medication. Has any of the pharmacy's told you when they will have it? I would call your Dr and let them know what is going on and that you will be out of it. Why they have shortages sometimes...... is just a lack of a certain ingredient. So ask the pharmacy first....... then ...

My prescription for Brand Klonopin 0.5 mg tablets was just filled by my local CVS pharmacy. I had to pay for it out of pocket since my generic Rx had just been filled. ## Does the named brand klonopin work the same for you as it did before it was on backorder? ## @Sound4heaven, I would recommend looking into whether or not the manufacturer has made any changes to the list of inactive ingredients, since this aspect of a tablet also plays a role in the tablet's overall bioavailability. If there are no changes there, name brand Klonopin 0.5mg should theoretically work the same as before. But had this been a generic version of Clonazepam, then inconsistency could be a stronger possibility since it has been heavily speculated that the FDA allows manufacturers the leeway of having a plus ...

The CVS wont fill in Encinitas anymore. CVS, Walgreens and Walmart have company restrictions. No more orders until this State of California decision is changed or further notice. Even Pharmaca will only sell the spotted Activis Watson-and Allen pharmacy in San Diego won't special order them. Any other thoughts? I'm 3 days without and no one will fill my new rx. ## Hello, Sara! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. On top of the shortage that had already been created due to the dosage changes that were made this year, which caused some companies to stop manufacturing this medication, we are also into the end of the year and there is almost always a shortage from October into early in the new year. This is due to mandatory manufacturing limits, once ...

GOOD NEWS, fellow sufferers! I just spoke to the 77 Canada Pharmacy and they are once again able to ship Drixoral to the US!! Up to 60 tablets, total cost $121 (inc. shipping). They have to have your photo ID and an account set up, but it's easily done. I know there's thousands of us who would literally die without Drixoral, so this is important news. Spread the word! And by the way, I think we ought to start spreading demands for the DEA to stop blocking sale of Drixoral in America just because some stupid drug addicts figured out a way to make speed out of it. I would gladly buy it from a pharmacist and sign my name, etc., wouldn't you all? ## Hi Carolyn, Thanks for sharing this info on Drixoral. While I may not have a personal need for this medication, I'm positive yo...

I'd bought Meloxicam 7.5mg on Dec.15-2014. I would like to know if there is no harm to use it now? Thanks for any help. My concern is to know the expiration date of pills sold in 2014. ## Sorry to not reply from since because I'm not in good shape. I'm not in good shape and I'm in hospitals and laboratories every day of the week. I saw my family doctor and prescriber of Meloxicam. He preferred to give me another prescription without explanation. My advice is to see the doctor. Thank you for your help and sorry for not being useful to others.

Have the restrictions on the distributors of roxicodone 30mg that supply south Florida been lifted yet ? I think it was supposed to be for two years. I`ve read many,many posts from 2011 thru 2013 discussing the shortage and there are only a handful from 2014. Does that mean things have improved ? ## Unfortunately, the major restrictions were not temporary. Each pharmacy is limited in how much of any controlled substance they can order and stock per month, no exceptions. Thus, once a pharmacy is out, they are out and they can't do anything about it. This is 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. And yes, many people in Florida are still complaining about having a ...

Anyone heard if the generic 80ER MG. Is coming back in January of 2014?I can't find any news on it.Please reply. I'm broke! ## Hellom Mzmarty! How are you? And no, the government is not allowing any generics to be released any time soon. They were removed from the market in order to make it easier to keep track of the supply, since this medication is so frequently abused and, at this time, there are no plans to change this. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you for the info. If you hear of any changes please let me know. I am sooooo broke. Paying over $5000.00 a year on meds is crazy.

I have a fractured rib and chronic lower back pain and have been on Norco for a year (7.5-325). I have been switched to Tramadol since this recent shortage. I have not been able to find any pharmacy in the Detroit area that can fill my Norco prescription. I have read that it has been gone to a controlled substance level II, and that they had to relabel everything. I called the manufacturers, and they said that they had relabeled everything, so that wasn't the issue. Then I was told that the pharmacies have to do a ton of paperwork to receive it now. Each pharmacy says they keep ordering, and they keep not getting in shipments. I am really just wondering if anyone knows when pharmacies will be back in stock (or if anyone knows of a particular pharmacy in the detroit area that carries...

Please help! Weird generic adderall filled at CVS today. 20mg tablet This is a HUGE concern for me as I just filled my prescription today (9/8/2014) at CVS and found your post after googling what the difference is as they look completely different as they often do with generics, but I've NEVER seen them look like this nor look so chalky. I haven't taken one yet so I do not know if it will have the same results as my previous ones which were all TEVA pharm also. Did you speak with CVS about your findings with this new pharm company? I would really appreciate knowing what they had to say if you don't mind. Thank you in advance. ## Desperate for some help on this HUGE problem.

Tramadol is becoming a controlled substance by Aug. 14 2014 - no more US pharmacy sites will carry it. Better find overseas pharmacy ## I would really be surprised if this is true.I would never order anything from overseas.if it were controlled doesn't mean US pharmacies wouldn't carry it. ## When all states make is a schedule 4 (C-IV), you'll still be able to get it with a prescription. ## why would anyone take this 'non-pain reliever' really worthless ## You're absolutely right, it's about as worthless as taken an Aleve. ## Tramadol will become a Schedule IV in all states, effective August 18, 2014. A dr can write a prescription for it or call it in. ## BL is correct. Ultram aka tramadol will become a scheduled drug in August of this year. It will be a C-IV...

why has Sandoz currently experiencing a "production" problem with their levothyroxine. Afer Levoxyl was taken away (I had taken this for twenty years and could not take Synthroid) the Sandoz worked perfectly. What is going on? ## Hi, Kat! Sorry about the problem that you're having getting your medication. However, no actual reason for the shortages have been provided. The companies aren't actually required to state that information. Learn more Levothyroxine details here. I sincerely wish I had more information for you, but I am not finding any details. There are a few articles that state it was due to some type of packaging problem, but I really don't think that explains shortages continuing for this long and affecting more than one manufacturer.

I knew it was too good to be true. With a FL state issued Rx card, Percocet was $47 for one hundred twenty 10/325 pills in December, but it went up to over $100 by January. They say it's because of those who abuse them, but does an increase of $.50 per pill REALLY discourage abuse? I seriously doubt it. If the theory is true, shame on you who take them to feel high, making us who need them pay double. ## Hi Suzi, Sorry to hear about the extreme price gouging going on at your pharmacy. You have every right to feel that way about those who misuse their medication. What's unfair is that, even at the end of the day, you still can't really do anything about the situation in its entirety. Those who abuse will continue to do so until they find their own inner desire to change their...
