I was just prescribed some Gabapentin 600mg after being on the 300m for about 2 months. the later did nothing for the pain in my foot which the doctor says is nerve damage from being frost bitten a long time ago. I really do not think that they (doctors ) really know what is wrong with my foot. I have not been ministerd any type of testing. I believe that my doctors gave me this to pacify me. I have been reading on this website that this drug takes a long time to take effect something like 8 months to a year, and that it is not habit forming. I was prescribed 180 pills with 5 refills which makes me wonder why so many pills for so long. so far the 600mg are doing nothing for the pain in my foot, Does anyone know of this med helping them in any way. I really need some help for my foot sho...

My doctor has me on 130 milligrams a day and I want off of it all. I'm down to about 90 to 100 milligrams now. I have one suboxone, and I just wondered if that will be enough so I won't have the withdrawals, or should I get a few more suboxone so I don't get so sick? I get violently sick otherwise. ## I took almost a hole sub this early early morning and then this afternoon I have taken 4 15 milligrams of morphine and I am fine..no withdrawls and with that no pain..thank god, from these horror stories I just read. I was concerned about a week ago but now not so much, again thank God..I'm thinking I must b lucky not to b sick with withdrawls. ## Yes, you are lucky and it's great that you are doing so well. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being h...

I was going to the methadone clinic and 50 milligrams of methadone when I can't go anymore so what would be equivalent to 50 milligrams of methadonemy doctor prescribe me opana 20 milligram I was wondering which one is stronger ## @Nicole, RE: "what is stronger than methadone", According to an equianalagesic report by The Medical University of South Carolina (linked below), Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) would be the next step up from Methadone; and after Hydromorphone comes Fentanyl, which is ranked as number 1 on their potency chart. And please do feel free to correct me if you understand this type of chart differently. When I refer to ranking, I'm going by the order in which each drug is listed here: mcintranet.musc.edu/agingq3/calculationswesbite/convchart.pdf RE: "wha...

This pill is Ritilan 20 milligrams. It works well if not abused by folks that do not suffer from the debilitating effects from adhd or add. This controlled substance is well known as hillbilly or poorman's coke. It has reported same effects on the Brain as the street drug for non adhd ~ add. Parents please beware these meds are everywhere and equally dangerous as it's street drug sibling!! Ritilan is prescribed regularly to small children so again it's in one outta five homes folks. It's caused death, addiction, sickness and sadly i know parents who've sold their kids medicine stating child doesn't need as a second income getting one dollar per mg yup 20 for this pill!! Can u not ask the logical question, why not make it harder to abuse, make an extended release ...

What do it look like my doctor say i need to be taking 5mg ## You would need to take more than 1 pill if your Doctors want you to take 5 mg as a 5 mg pill isn't available. Is this per day. I would get a second opinion if someone wants you to take that much. ## Yep agreed with above there is only 2mg, they don't have anything above that ## Reluctantly I have to say you're right. I was prescribed 10 milligrams a day 3 years ago. I have since switched doctors who has me on 8mg/day, 4 2mg/daily. This isn't a med toy want to up in dosage unless absolutely need be. They are the devil, not to mention if you lose, wash, fall in the water and yes all 3 of those have happened in one month. Your screwed. Might as well save up your work vacation days to detox until you get your next...

Hi, I've read these forums for years now and have never posted anything myself but I am in a panic. I have been taking 30 milligram oxycodone 4 times a day for 5 years. I had two major back surgery is and I'm not eligible for a third one due to scar tissue at the surgical site. Every month I swear to myself up and down that I will never run out of these pills again and every month I run out. Well this month it's been the worst I have been taking 180 milligrams that's 6 pills a day for the last 3 or 4 days my prescription runs out on the 24th of this month and I have 12 pills left. My main question is can I start weaning off of it from 180 milligrams down to one pill a day which is 30 milligrams or is that just too drastic of a cut. Also I'm seeing my doctor on Friday...

I'm currently on 24 mg of Suboxone after asking my doctor to switch from 50 mg of oxycodone to suboxone. It's just not working for the pain like it did at first. I'm in so much pain all day! She said she would switch me back to oxycodone at 60 mg a day since this isn't working well for me anymore. I've had people tell me that Suboxone is much stronger and that 60 mg wouldn't even be enough. Does anyone have any knowledge on this? ## Suboxone and methadone are two entirely different drugs that do two entirely different things. Suboxone is not for pain management Suboxone is to get people off of opiates for their withdrawal and it’s an agonist antagonistic which means it goes to the dopamine receptors in your brain and turns on the signal that you’re ge...

I was cleaning my coffee pot with vinegar & water and it spilled out on my counter. My prednisone pills 10 milligrams were in a paper envelope. Most of them got wet and looks like they dissolved a little. But I took them out of the envelope to dry. Some of them fall apart when I pick them up. Is it still safe to take these. They were given to me for a cough from sinus and allergies. ## I have follow up test every six month for cancer n removal of right kidney. Because fifteen years ago I had reaction to iodine. I have to take 50 mg 13 hrs before test then 50 mg 7 hours before the test n 50 mg 1 hr before test. Also I take 50 mg of Benadryl 1 hr before procedure. Nothing else to come off it. Each time I felt bad. N each time it got worse afterward the last two times I took prednisone...

So I have a couple pills that are supposed to be oxycodone 30mg but I'm not sure what they are. The pills are round and very dark blue, instead of the usual a 215 pills which are lighter blue or the M box 30 milligrams which are very light blue. ## I would love it if somebody could please tell me what they are. The pill again is dark blue, round, with a boxed m on one side and a 30 on the other ## It is oxycodone 30 mg. Its made outside of of country. Thats why it looks a little different from the a 215 or lighter m 30. Hope this helps ## Actually, these have been asked about on here before and from chemistry evaluations I've found, they have come up as fakes with an unidentifiable ingredient, thus taking them could be very dangerous. It doesn't seem that they are manufactur...

seeking a dr who will subscribe monthly methadone 10 milligram pills ## Hello, Walter! How are you? If you are taking it for addiction/maintenance, then a regular doctor will not be able to prescribe it for you. It would be against the law for them to do so. It can only be administered in a clinical setting by those that have been specially trained in its use for such. If you require it for pain management, then due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you'll need to see a pain management specialist, as a general practice doctor can no longer do pain management and prescribe such medications. 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. If i...

After much research, I understand Alprazolam's (Xanax) half life is approximately 11 hours, correct? So, as an example, if a person took a 1 mg dose of xanax, it would be down to .5 milligrams in their system after the approximate 11 hours? I know there are a lot of other factors too, such as age, weight, metabolism, etc., but can anyone help me understand how you would figure up approximately how much would be in someone's system going by half lives and if they took multiple doses? This may sound confusing so I'll use an example. Day 1: 2:00 P.M. - Took 1.5 mg 6:00 P.M. - Took 0.5 mg Day 2: 7:00 A.M. - Took 1.0 mg 10:00 A.M. - Took 0.5 mg 4:00 P.M. -Took 0.5 mg 10:00 P.M. - Took 1.0 mg Day 3: 9:00 A.M. - Took 1.5 mg 1:00 P.M. - Took 1.0 mg 5:00 P.M. - Took 0.5 mg 9:00 P.M. ...

I am on methadone and I don't want my wife to know. I have to have a needle biopsy done on my lung do I have to tell the doctor that is doing the procedure ## Yes, but he is not allowed to tell your wife, without your permission. There are new privacy laws that were put in place years ago to protect you under such circumstances. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am having a procedure on Thursday and I'm going to be put to sleep for about 30 to 45 minutes. I am on 95 milligrams of methadone and have been for quite some time now.

I had a miscarriage 2 months ago. I didn't know it got an infection and took augmentin 875 - 125 milligram tablets for 10 days. Did that cure whatever I had plus any other possible infections? ## Are you still having any symptoms of having an infection? Pain? Fever? Pus? Vaginal discharge? If not, then it most likely worked. I am very sorry about the miscarriage. The FDA lists the typical Augmentin side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

Is there something I can buy on the shelf that would be similar as soma, say if I took several Milligrams? ## No there is no natural Soma out there. Also taking 'several' mgs of a supplement is not always a good thing! ## @Chip, Based on several reviews I found, Baclofen is touted as being one of the closest 'prescription' medications to Soma of all the muscle relaxers out there. Unfortunately I can't speak from personal experience since I haven't tried it before, but that may be something you'd want to talk with your doctor about taking as an alternative to Soma. I also agree with Eddy in that, "taking several milligrams of a supplement is not always a good thing". Just make sure you take some time out to do your homework/research before delving into...

If fentanyl is 80 times stronger than morphine would you consider it safe to drive and work on the 50mg fentanyl mylan patch? ## I would not consider this safe. And I'm sure your Dr, and the local police would agree with me. A friend of mine was recently stopped by the local police. He is on dilaudid for chronic back pain, he got a DUI. Be careful and don't take dilaudids and drive. ## It's a 50 microgram patch, not 50 milligrams, because it is very potent. That said, it is usually best not to drive, operate heavy machinery, or engage in any activity that requires optimal mental alertness, when you first start taking any new medication, until you are aware of how it affects, since it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and sedation.

Naturally I have a high tolerance for pain meds and a low tolerance for alcohol. Going on 9 months no alcohol as a health choice. I went and had a MRI done a week ago and still waiting for the results. Ibuprofen 800 mg - no way am I taking that much crap every day. My doc said she doesn't prescribe pain meds. Funny... So I'm here, I'll have the updated scan on my back and hope to know a good doctor that can help me with a better value of life. I would just rather take a little bit of something that works than hundreds of milligrams Tylenol. Isn't Ibuprofen 800mg a pain killer? ## Pain meds addictive as we know. Lots of people that live with pain. From experience don't get regular refills of opiate, you'll pay the piper eventually...that day will come. That's ...

I have a 25-28 lb. Pug. She has an ear infection, and I have no money for the vet. I do have some Bactrim that I had a reaction to, and I am wondering if I can cut it in half to give her? I know we used to use Bactrim ?TMP when I worked in an animal shelter, but that was over 20 years ago, and I don't remember the dosages. Thank you. ## Hi Sherry, Based on my research, the usual initial dose of Bactrim for dogs is listed at 13 milligrams per pound, to be taken twice daily (12 hours apart). So for a 28lb dog, that would bring each dose to 364 milligrams (13 x 28 =364), amounting to a total daily dose of 728 milligrams (364 x 2 =728). However, just to be on the safe side it would probably still be a good idea to also contact your local veterinary office with a simple inquiry regarding...

is 400 iu of folic acid equal to 400 mcgs of folic acid?Thanks ## Years ago a dr told me to start taking 400 ui of folic acid. Now i find folic acid is labeled as 400 msg not 400 ui.Is 400 msg equal to 400 ui?ThanksF ## Generally speaking, you can't convert between IU and MCG. IU's measure the potency of a drug, not its mass or weight. You can only measure between MG and MCG. 1000 micrograms (mcg) = 1 milligram (mg); so 400 mcg will be equal to just 4 mg Folic acid 400 mcg does equal 100 percent daily value for this nutrient. NOTE: If you can determine what percent daily value 400 iu of folic acid is, then you can essentially compare mcg vs iu. Hope this helps! ## Thanks, that is the conversion I was looking for! ## I have a question as well what is the percentage of folic acid ...
