My pain management Dr, that I have had for the last 18 months, I think he is mad at me and might send me packing when my visit to see him on the 18th of July 2012. He started me on Morphine Sulfate 60mg twice a day about 3 weeks ago. The first week I did not do well, I was vomiting violently, after 6 hours of taking that pill. So I poured the bottle down the toilet. I had called him up and told the nurse. He was not happy with me. Then about 4 days went by, and I was in my purse looking for a Neurotin, and came upon the little bottle I put my pain meds in, for my purse. i forgot I had put 30 of my pain pills in that bottle. Well I was hurting real bad, so I started to take them again, but the vomiting did not return. So I called up my DR. again and talked to the nurse, told her the situ...

Has any else noticed the extremely difficult new packaging for Esipram? I advise anyone especially elderly patients to ask their doctors to switch off Esipram until the manufacturers come to their senses. ## It's a great way to ensure anxious people who bite their fingernails stay on this drug! The genius who came up with this ought to be fired! ## I agree, the packaging is an absolute disgrace and yes the designer of this packaging should be sacked. I can not believe that they could go to market with such an impossible to open packaging. No wonder I have to take the drug !!

Why is my Klor-Con powder prescription so expensive even with the co-pay ## Hi Judy, From what I understand, prices can often vary at the pharmacy's discretion, depending on what cost they received it at from the manufacturer/distributor. However if money remains a concern, I would encourage you to try various drug discount cards, such as the one MedsChat offers here: RX Savings Card Coupons like these can reportedly save you anywhere from 15 to 75% off your prescription, and are valid at most pharmacies here in the US. The card can be printed out and brought with you when you go to fill your prescription, in order to see what type of discount they offer. Not sure if you might be aware of this or not, but fruits and vegetables are also abundant in minerals including potassium. If yo...

My wife has suffered due to severe neck pain and back pain from yesterday . The same problem, she faced last year and recovered after lot of treatment. I need solution, why it happened suddenly once again and how to recover from this problem (Medicine and Food) ## I am sorry, but no one is going to be able to diagnose the problem and provide you with a solution from just a short post on a website. She needs to be examined by a doctor, who can run the proper tests to see what is causing her problem and then can talk with her about her treatment options. There are many reason she may be experiencing such problems with pain. It could be something related to nerve damage or irritation, so it may be neuropathic. Has she contacted a doctor, yet?

My friend gave me a ten pack of what he said are 10/500 hydros. They are yellow no impront,but a score in the middle on one side. Back of pack says 10/500 mallinckrodt but ive never seen um like this. He wouldnt say where they came from so anyone got a take on this. ## In my (past) experience they are from india or some other foreign maker. Most likely they are fake. They coul possibly be real but either way they probably cost A LOT OF MONEY and are trash. God only knows what they fill those things with. Good luck with them. ## Mallinckrodt is a well known pharmaceutical manufacturer, but I have to agree with the other person that posted that these tablets are highly suspect. My reasoning for this is due to the fact that Mallinckrodt uses their M logo on all of their prescription produc...

Hi! I've been taking Tri-prev for some time now. I am about 3 pills away from starting the sugar pills but I want to skip my period. Is it ok if, after those last 3 pills, I can just start a new pill pack in order to keep me from getting my period? ## Hello, HT! How are you? Yes, it is safe to do that, as long as your doctor approves. Many women do, in order to skip their periods when an important event or vacation is coming up. However, there are no guarantees that it will work. The FDA lists the typical side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, irritability and breakthrough bleeding. Is there anything else I can help with?

This is the first month I started taking the Lo Loestrin Fe. It is a "21 day" pack. so I just finished my third week or 21st day yesterday. Should I be getting my period today or within the week? When do I start my new pack? I am especially concerned about when I should start the new pack if I don't start my period. I don't want to go too many days without taking it. ## as soon as you've finished the last pill in your pack you should start the next pack ## Hello, Tina! How are you? You should start the new pack on the 29th day, so you don't take any pills for a week. You should get your period within 2 or 3 days of finishing the active pills.

I have been taking this generic for about 4 years and since I have been taking the PACK generica, I developed a chorinic cough and diahrrea that is becoming more and more of a problem. I am lactose intolerant and have allergies so I suspect they is a filler that is really upsetting y body. Overall, I am very healthy with no issues except for some allergies which I manage by taking over the counter medications usually in spring and fall. Has anyone had this problem? If so, can you tell me what you generic you switched to. ## Hello, Deb! How are you? Are you on any other medications? I'm very sorry about the problems you're experiencing. What are the markings on your Losartan? I need this information to research more information about it for you. The FDA lists its typical side eff...

I recently switched pharmacies. Previously, I was taking 5mg IR oxycodone with the boxed M on one side and the 0552 on the scored side. With the new pharmacy, I have the same prescription, only the pills have a stylized V on one side and 4810 on the scored side. For some reason, I don't seem to get the same relief with the new pills. Is this just in my head? It seems to me that 5mg of oxycodone is 5mg of oxycodone, and it doesn't much matter what the inert filler is and who packed it together. Does anyone know if there is any difference depending on the manufacturer? ## Yes, there can be a difference. The FDA does permit there to be a different between the name brand and a generic up to as much as plus or minus 20% of the active ingredient. They consider this an acceptable thera...

I started taking the medication yesterday and took 6, today i take 5, then 4, and 3, etc so for 6 days total. I am taking this along with Augmentinj 875 mg, every 12 hours. I have had a horrible sinus/ ear infection for at least 3 months and haven't been able to taste food or smell anything. Body aches, headaches, horrible anxiety and terrible fatigue. Mid day yesterday I started feeling so much better, my sense of smell came back last night and I cried. I enjoyed dinner so much I could finally taste food. I've never taken this medication before and was afraid to google it. Upon looking I see many negative things. So far I have had a great experience with this steroid pack and wish I would have taken it sooner. I hope my symptoms don't return or i have withdrawals. I'm a...

Just released me today from the hospital. I had rapid heartbeats, short of breath, I am 70 years old. I have a pacemaker that I am dependent on. Except for some vitamin deficiency, they could not really find what was wrong. I have been taking 5mg oxycodone 3x a day, some days, only twice, for 4 years. I was at pain management for only 2 months. Today was my third visit.. Straight from the hospital. I was in a lot of pain due to Costrochronditus this month because of the way they gave me a steroid shot in my back. (I had to lay on my chest) The first and second steroid shot didn't work either. I could not take a prendisone pill because of the steroid shot, so I had to take extra pain med. I had called my Pain management and told them that I was going to do that. So I get to the pain ...

It is obvious that Metamucil has stopped producing the sugar free Singles Packets, it is sold out world wide and hasn't been made in 9 months, but they still promote it. They also say a legal - marketing statement about it that never changes. Why won't they say it is not being made? Was there something wrong with the product? ## I really don't know anything about it, since it isn't a prescription product. That means they aren't required to report anything on it to the FDA, such as if they decide to stop manufacturing it or etc. Have you tried contacting the company to ask? There is a website with a contact form at metamucil.com Learn more Metamucil details here.

Do the shapes / colors or numbers on a pill or manufacturer have anything to do with which pill is stronger if the are the same mg? ## That can be an indicator of strength, however not always? Pills range from .25 mg to 2 mg with a 3 mg extended release version. Size is a factor as well, a 2 mg "School Bus" or "Pie" & the 3 mg ER are larger than your 1 mg dose. There are also illegal Xanax that claim to be up to 5 mg or more. The only way to really know is obtaining them from a Pharmacy ## Don’t know how anyone would get them or anything else off the streets. Years ago you could do that now they sneak fillers in them and deadly other drugs mixed in. I never thought I’d ever see a friend of mine have to go underground for a Z pac because they even refuse t...
