Please help me. Nancy I am 57 yrears old. ## If the doctor put you on a lower dosage and you went down from 40mg to 30mg, then the shaking and other symptoms you had could have been from the adjustment. Even if you do not abuse a medication, your body still gets used to having that substance in your body in a certain amount and will react to any change. This is what cause...

5mg oxycotin k 18 on one side an blank on the other. Small white round pill. ## I don't have a picture to post for you, due to copyright reasons. This is not actually an Oxycontin tablet, those are only available as the name brand and would have the OC or OP marking on them, with the number designating the dosage on the opposite side. This time released formulation is also not available in a 5mg dosage. The tablet you have, does contain 5mgs of Oxycodone, but it is the regular release tablet, which is the generic for Roxicodone. It may cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation. Learn more: Are there any other questions?

Lite green round pill 88, is this 15 mgs oxycotin? ## Hello, Annie! How are you? No, I am not aware of any Oxycodone tablets with that marking and Oxycontin is only available in the name brand with the OP marking on one side and a number representing the dosage on the other. Is that the complete imprint? Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you.

football shape letter m on one side ## First, I would like to state that there is no generic or Oxycontin in the United States. It was banned several years ago, due to abuse an is only manufactured by Purdue Pharma in the name brand. However, there is generic products available for both Roxicodone, the regular release formula and OxyIR, the instant release. As to the type you have and the dosage, I cannot tell you that, without more specifics on the imprint. There are several that have an M marking, without knowing if it is in a box or a plain M and any additional numbers on the tablet, I cannot give you any precise information. Can you please post back with more details?

How many 8mg/2mg suboxone does a person take in a day? ## Hello, Cathy! How are you? You should always follow your doctor's dosing instructions. The right amount can vary from person to person, depending on the drug they were abusing and how much of it they were taking. The highest recommended dosage is 32/8mgs daily. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have had 6 neck surgeries need another and have 4 disc that are messed up my Dr prescribed me 3 80 mg oxycotin 3percocet and 4 soma a day and I want to get off them an get on suboxine so I ...

I've been on oxycotin 80 mg.es, now because of Insurance reasons, Now I'am on Morphine Sulphate 100mg. es, How do they compare and what are the pros and cons? ## The Morphine is not as strong as the Oxycodone, hence the higher dosage being necessary. Otherwise, they are both effective narcotics and they pretty much share the same cons, like the side effects: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation. You can read more on the Morphine here: Really, the only pro I can think of is that the Morphine has a slightly lower incidence of causing dependence or addiction. Do you have any other question? ## the morphine is 1000% harder to come off just to warn u its alot more adddictive

Please help me, i do not want to hurt my unborn child and have no clue on what to do to stop taking these pills without getting horribly sick like i do. the withdrawl is soo bad, i get every single effect, its so horrible. I have been on oxycontin 40mg and roxicodone 30mg for almost 3yrs and just found out that I am pregnant not even a week ago~ ## You indicated an addiction to pain meds and now are pregnant. Might I suggest you either lower the dosage, little by little, or have longer periods between taking them? You might consider cutting the pills in half, also. ## yes thank you, I have been doing that, Im still worried about when I get to the end of tapering down that I still am going to be getting really sick or hurt the fetus/baby....b4 i even found out i was pregnant i knew i was...

What Oxycotin mg is Equal To 100mg Morphine Er ## The Oxycodone in the Oxycontin is actually one and half times stronger than the Morphine, so you would require a lower dosage of it, thus the conversion would be 66.67mgs of Oxycontin. They are both narcotics, so they share a similar side effect profile, which may include: nausea, dizziness, constipation and dry mouth. Learn more: Is there anything else I can help with?

blue pill ## 15 mg. roxicotin?? green or blue?? found in sons room!! ## I am a fully recovered addict using oxycotin and other pain medication. The green is usually a roxicotin 15 and the blue one commonly refered as blues are 30 mg's. Most 30's also have a imprint of r215 on one side. ## The colors actually don't mean anything, since these tablets are now available for generic manufacture, the only way to tell what it in them and what the dosage is would be from the imprint on the tablet. If you post back with this information, I will gladly look it up for you. I would also like to state that there is NO medication called Roxicontin, it is either Roxicodone, which is a regular release formulation or Oxycontin, which is the time released formulation, they both contain the ac...

GETTING OFF PAIN MEDICINE ## I have a friend that would like to get off of oxycotin. How can he be prescribed suvoxin and how does one get into rehab quicker and without insurance? ## The medication name is actually Suboxone, it contains Buprenorphine, and Naloxone, it is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, not therapeutic use of a medication. The same is true of rehab programs, they are intended for addicts, not those taking therapeutic doses of any given medication. Suboxone itself carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, constipation, headache, and dry mouth. What dosage of Oxycontin is your friend taking and how long have they been taking it? If they work with their doctor, they might be able to just taper off of it.

My ex-husband has had 5 lower back surgeries and has permanent nerve damage. He also has rods and pins in his back that one screw pushed on his spinal cord and had to be removed-lots of scar tissue. He's having a neurologist for many years. My ex has been on fentanyl 100 patch putting a new patch every 48 hours and oxycotin 5 was 6 times a day now he has been cut to 4 a day. His doctor won't give him any higher dosage and in extreme debilitating pain. He was in pain management years ago, but the doctor changed his percocet he took then and put him on morphine. He took to many for the week he was on it. It wasn't working and let pain management doctor know it and was thrown out of pain management. He of course is addicted. His meds of course aren't working very well any m...

i had a broken leg in 2007 was prescribed vicodin 750, in 2010 i had major brain surgery and was prescribed more 750 mg vicodin, but my tolerance is so high that my doctor prescribed me oxycotin 30 mg, can you please tell me what one pill of 750 vicodin equals one pill of 30 mg oxycotin./....please help ## if u are taking the 10/750 vicodins, the 30 mg oxy is like taking 3 vicodins. oxy is an opiate as well. minus the acetametaphine (tylenol) that's in vicodin.. ## Yes, the Oxycodone is stronger, but I can't really give you a comparison, without knowing the precise dosage of the Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen combination you were taking. The 750 you posted just refers to the Acetaminophen, but there are several different strengths of the Hydrocodone available. Have you tried the Oxyc...

I have been taking synthroid 75mcg for the past 14 years.Recently had blood work and the Dr. wanted to lower my dose.I still haven't change the dose due to more important family situations, Was wondering if anyone had experienced joint pain especially in their fingers and toes?

i would like a list of Pharmcacies that will fill oxycodone 30mg IR.in and around Los Angels Ca. ## I am sorry, but there is no central listing of pharmacies that have any particular medication in stock. It would be virtually impossible to keep such a list updated anyway, as it would be very dynamic information. Additionally, there is no 30mg immediate release Oxycodone, this dosage is only available in the regular release or time released formulation. The IR is only available in a 5mg capsule. Learn more Oxycodone details here. What reason has your pharmacy given for not being able to fill it? ## You are totally wrong on the not having an instant release Oxycodone 30 mg. I've been taking it for almost 14 years now. The instant release is called Oxycotin that comes in 40 & 80mg....
