Injured under workers comp in Tallahassee Florida I was taking percocet and now my adjustor stopped me from seeing the doctor who was writing my pain meds does anyone know how I can get my medication and who can you report this adjustor to ## Workers comp can be quite the hassle, as I've seen from personal experience. My mom was actually going through a similar situation with her adjuster and eventually had to get an attorney to work with her on the legality of situations like this. Although I'm not completely familiar with the process involved in that, it's probably where'd I'd recommend starting if you're intent is to take action against your adjuster - in hopes of finding a new one. In the meantime, it sounds like you may also have to be open to trying other f...

Can you give me any information such as the address or phone number of the company? ## Hi Buffy, There are actually several different manufacturers of Calcitrol, so I would need to know what your pill looks like (what imprints are on it, etc..) before determining who makes it. A few of the manufacturers I came across are: Roxane Laboratories, Inc. Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Roche Laboratories Please post back whenever you're able to and I can certainly find more specific details from there. :)

when I went to the doctors on the 1st of last month they took away my oxycontin 60 milligrams and gave me 15 milligrams oxycodone they said it was due to CDC guidelines but I have read through all of that and it's only a recommendation I have never taken anything other than what they have prescribed me nor have I ever taken more than the amount they have prescribed me but now I find myself desperate I can't play with my grandchildren I can't get out of bed there's days I wish I never even would wake up I don't know what to do but I do know I don't want to live life in pain like this especially knowing that there is something they can get me so I'm not in pain I live in Missouri I'm just wondering if anyone else in Missouri has experienced this problem within

I have been taking Thyroxine for about 2 weeks now. I am also on Micardis, Atenolol and Apo-Nifedipine for my blood pressure, which was 227/124. This all happened when all I had gone to the doctors for was a sore left wrist! My problem is, not only is my left wrist still sore, but now my right, my dominant hand is painful, especially at night and in the mornings. I am 51 and still have 7 of my 12 children living at home. I really need the use of my hands!! Currently even taking care of my own personal hygiene is difficult and painful due to my painful wrists. Any suggestions what could be causing it? Also my doctor said I had Graves disease, yet I am on Thyroxine. On the Internet it says Thyroxine is for Hypothyroidism yet Graves is HypERthyroidism. So I'm confused?? I would be so g...

How are you? Did you have a bad reaction to one of them? If you've taken just a few tablets, then it should only take a couple of days, but it may take a week or so, for all side effects or for an allergic reaction to go away. The FDA lists Naproxen as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and headache. Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding. Cyclobenzaprine is listed as being a muscle relaxant, its typical si...

trying o find a company help me pay for my suboxine ## Hi ashleybm, Depending on the manufacturer, there are patient assistance programs created by drug companies, to offer free or low cost drugs to individuals who are unable to pay for their medication. You may want to take a quick look at the link below, as I think I found a company that offers this type of assistance for Suboxone films: rxassist.org/pap-info/company_detail.cfm?CmpId=173 I hope this helps!

I'm about 150% below poverty level and I can't afford this medicine Temazepam 30mg, please can you help me? You can reach me at {edited for privacy} ## Contact manufacturer they have programs for those who can't afford. I believe they are on $4 list at Walmart or Target if you can afford $4. ## @Sandra, Post #1 is right in that some manufacturers do offer what's called "patient assistance programs" for those who meet certain income requirements and other criteria relating to the application. You can either contact the manufacturer directly or ask your doctor/pharmacist for more specific details on what programs are available. Another option I might add is that this site also offers a prescription drug discount card that can reportedly save you anywhere from 15 to...

Hello I had back surgery a fusion in my 4-5 lumbar with 4 screws I have been trying some generics for percocet that have not done well like watson and maylan today I called a few pharmacies and found Aurobindo and Qualitest does anybody now which one works best ? ## Hello, Nini! How are you? It really varies from person to person, but I had good luck with the ones from Qualitest, when I had a kidney stone. The FDA classifies this medication as 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

I took lorezapam brand Watson for 3 years 1mg 2 times a day now I feel it ain't working I get dizzy I get more of a panic attack so I decided to go to different pharmacy same brand but it works better and doesn't give me none of those side affects anyone can help ## Hello, Rigo! How are you? If it's the same brand and the same dosage, then it should affect you the same. Were you doing anything different before, when you experienced the side effects, such as eating differently, taking another medication or drinking alcohol? The FDA classifies this medication as a benzodiazepine. It carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

Are there any medicaid mma plans that covers suboxone ## Hi Chris, According to the link below, Medicaid coverage for medication like Suboxone is said to vary "considerably" by State. See FAQ #4 on the following patient list: buprenorphine.samhsa.gov/faq.html You didn't mention what State you were in, but Florida is the only State's program I'm seeing information on when I type in MMA, so just wanted to double check that. Looking online at Florida Medicaid's drug formulary, the closest thing I found to Suboxone (Buprenorphine + Naloxone) was a combination of Pentazocine + Naloxone. It may also be a good idea to contact your local Medicaid office (human resource department) for more specific details involving coverage and whether or not they allow any exceptions t...
