myprodol and Panado

Can I take Myprodol if I took 3 Panado tablets about 30 minutes ago? I have got the worst headache ever and the Panado hasn't helped at all. It feels like a rubber band is squeezing my head. Pain is centred from the base of my neck up and over to between my eyes. ## Both of these medications contain Acetaminophen/Paracetamol, which can be toxic, if taken in high dosages. According to current FDA reports, you shouldn't exceed over 1,000mgs every 8 hours, because such toxicity has the potential to cause severe liver damage, liver failure, and/or death. Ref: Medline Plus Acetaminophen Levels Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, lowered heart rate, lowered blood pressure, stomach pain, trouble breathing, dizziness, and unconsciousness. If someone experiences such sympt...

is tramadol hcl 50mg classified as a narctic

What is the normal dose for tramadol hcl 50mg? I am taking utter prn tid for severe back pain. I have taken 75mg before I got relief. ## Tramadol became a Schedule IV August 18, 2014. Under Federal Law, a dr can write refills and can call it in. There are no restrictions on how often you must see your dr. But, your dr can have you come in as often as he wants and he doesn't have to give refills or call it in. ## The interesting thing about Tramadol is the fiasco of its creation. LOL Originally, the intent was to try to create a medication that would have the pain relieving properties of opiates, without having the addictive tendencies, and all the side effects, however, what they ended up with is a mild pain reliever that can still be habit forming, and is only a moderate level anal...

Temazepam and pain relief

Got prescribed 20mg temazepam for anxiety and sleep disorder. White round white tablet. Score one side 30 on other. Sorry bad eyesight but I'm sure it says 30. Anyways, I feel it takes away pain as well. Anyone else get this effect from temazepam? ## Restoril or Temazepam has diazepam in it as well as a hypnotic for sleeping. They're prescribed as sleeping pills.. if you're getting pain relief from it it’s probably because it has relaxed your body enough to get real rest and sleep.. I also take the same medication and I use it one a day at bedtime. I’m also prescribed diazepam which is Valium for my anxiety and two are very different in regards to sleeping. Yes diazepam can make you very sleepy because you’re so relaxed but it’s not a sleeping pill wh...
