Help-which Pills Did I Take

Updated

In Canada, Ritalin SR 20mg is yellow with a small black symbol-In the US, they are white but I did not look at the symbols on the pills.I require 6omg in the morning to wake up and I think that I got 2 white pills mixed up. I took 3 that had an M symbol on one side which I now thing was methadone which I am weaning myself off of.l am down from 50mg a day to 25mg. I am not sure how many mg I took (3 white with the M symbol) but I cannot wake up and I feel sick.l want to know if the other white ones are the ritalin which have a V symbol on one side and a 48/10 on the pill, the / being the line in the middle. Can you help me to identify these as fast as possible.

I have white 20 mg Ritalin with an "m" on one side The other side may have "20", but I'm out (and not happy about it!!!!!!!!!!!) so can't check the actual pill right now sure.

Hi Renate - white round pills with a cursive V on one side, and 48 | 10 on the other side are actually Oxycodone 5 mg ! Do not take them as a substitute to Ritalin. Hope this helps & good luck!

The V on one side, and 48, a slash, and 10 on the other side of the slash is OXYCODONE 5 MG, QUICK RELASE. IF YOU ARE TAKING METHADONE....DO NOT TAKE THE OXYCODONES!! METHADONE IS A SUSTAINED FORM OF MOROPHINE TYPE DRUG, TO TAKE THE PLACE OF ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN ADDICTED TO ANY TYPE OF OXYCODONE, HYDROCODONE, ANY TYPE OF PAIN MEDICINE DERIVED FROM AN OPIOID PLANT. AND THE METHADONE IS STORED IN YOUR LIVER, AND RELEASES SLOWLY, SO IF YOU TAKE ANY TYPE OF OPIOID, I.E. HYDRO/OXYCODONE, OR MOROPHINE, ETC. DRUGS, YOU COULD VERY EASILY OVERDOSE, AND POSSIBLY DIE!!!! MY AUNT BY MARRAIGE, WAS A NURSE, TAKING METHADONE BECAUSE SHE WAS TRYING TO GET OFF OF ALCHOHOL, AND OPIOIDS, ENDED UP FEELING LIKE THE METHADONE WASN'T WORKING LIKE SHE WANTED, SO SHE TOOK 1 MORE METHADONE PILL, AND ON TOP OF IT, STILL FEELING LIKE IT WASN'T WORKING, TOOK SOME OXYCODONES....WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT SHE COLLAPSED IN HER KITCHEN AND DIED INSTANTLY, BECAUSE THE SLOW RELEASE OF THE METHADONE "DOUBLE DOSE" AND THE MIX OF OXYCODES, WERE RELASED ALL AT ONCE, AND SHE DIED!! SO IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF WHAT PILL IS WHAT, DON'T TAKE IT UNTIL YOU CALL A PHARMACIST OR PHYSICIAN, OR YOU COULD END UP LIKE HER. AND TOO MANY PPL THINK THAT THEY CAN TAKE METHADONE AND OPIOIDS TOGETHER, BUT WHAT THEY DON'T REALIZE IS HOW MUCH YOUR LIVER STORES METHADONE AND B4 U KNOW IT....YOUR GONE. PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY...AND AGAIN IF POSSIBLE UNTIL YOU GET IT INTO YOUR BRAIN, BECAUSE TOO MANY PPL DIE EACH YEAR OF "ACCIDENTALLY" TAKING TOO MUCH...OR THE WRONG PILL AND OVERDOSING. I DON'T WANT U TO BECOME ANOTHER STATISTIC.
