Do you really think anyone would ask this question if they had a prescription? I mean really. They ask what meds your on when you take a urine test. And generally most people know when you inform them of it that it's no big deal. They're asking because they most likely DO NOT have a prescription!!!!!

okay... i had a miscarriage on July 28th... the ER prescribed me no medication for pain or what have you... when I got home from the ER is was too late to get ahold of my MD and see if he could give me something for my pain... (its the worst pain i've ever felt in my life...still feeling it now) Anyway, my mom gave me what she THOUGHT was a Lortab 5.... and the next day my doctor wrote me a script for 20 lortab 5s... well, gave the pills to my mom to doll out to me because i didn't want to in a narcotic induced fog, think it was time for another pill, and accidentally OD... on sunday, i asked her for 2 lortab because i was having HORRIFIC pain... the 2 pills she gave me weren't my lortab. it turns out they were Percocet 5s... she had inadvertantly given me 2 of my dad's generic percocets instead of my lortab... an innocent mistake. Thing is.. i start LPN school on monday... I have a drug test tomorrow... will the percocet show up? I dont want to be kicked out of school over an innocent mix up....

I took a total (broken into 24 5mg tablets) of 120mg of oxycodone over a course of 13 days and will be drug tested at exactly 12 days after the last dose. I have a slow metabolism but drink a lot of water. Any idea of if I will have problems passing the dt?
Thanks

Hi, I have MS and have been on ocxycotin and oxycodone for 6 yrs. I'm presently schedule for IFV and have not taken the OxyContin in at least a month. I did take a 20 mg last night of oxycodone. My IFV is scheduled for January 20-22. Is my baby going to be safe or at risk. I've stopped all meds. My DR is Zhang in New York.I have been reading up on google everyday. Do get the best info in need. Please give me all your best honest answers please. Now my other BIG problem is my partner had an accident and can't use his sperm! So my question is how quickly can the Sperm/frozen egg arrive at my medical doctors office? I was considering frozen because of my eggs risk. They still tell me looks good I have read that if it is IUI it is less work to be done and can be shipped.I will not try to seem very brave, actually im extremely scared also of age (45) they say things look good. Will someone please call and talk to me about all theses things and the sooner the more I can stop being so emotional. I greatly appreciate your help tremendously. I feel so childish as though im begging, but i want this/theses babies more than life. I so hope to speak to someone with all the knowledge I need to feel safe not to loose my baby. You may call (I prefer) 413-531-4487.
Sincerely,
Eleanor L.

It's actually 4 to 5 days, though it can vary from person to person, depending on your overall health, other medications you may be on, your metabolism, activity levels and etc.

However, if you have a prescription for it, you just have to inform them of this, when you go in for testing.

Are there any other questions?

Hunter, yes, those can be some of the normal withdrawal symptoms, because even if you aren't abusing a medication and constantly upping the amounts of it that you take, your body does get used to having it.

You may also experience vomiting, fever/chills, rebound pain and insomnia.

When I stopped taking them, the symptoms lasted about a month, before they finally tapered off and my body started to get back to normal. I was miserable, for quite a few days, but since I only used the amounts prescribed, my withdrawal symptoms never got so severe that I was in any life threatening danger.

However, just in case, you should know to watch for any trouble breathing, accelerated heart rate or blood pressure changes and if you experience them, please seek medical attention.

and bhoward, no, I do not make any assumptions about anyone, when they post questions on here. We have had posters from both sides, those who are taking something illegally and those who aren't, but simply don't understand that if they have a prescription, they don't have to worry about it, for drug testing.

Are there any other questions?

Desperate, have they ever done any tests on your stomach to see if it could be causing the problem?

The reason I ask, is because I was in a situation very similar to yours, for many years. They kept blaming mine on a spinal problem and just throwing higher and higher doses of narcotics at me.

It wasn't until several years later, after I'd gotten disgusted with them and stopped taking them all, that I finally ended up being diagnosed as having Gastritis, all along and the medications were just making it worse.

Similar problems could also be caused by severe ulcers.

Thank you "Verwon" for the "holler" back I appreciate it. Yes... I have a wonderful GI doc and his great nurse "Joy" and they have been "marathonin'" trying to find the cause of this horrible stomach pain. After about a year of all kinds of scans, (is it pronounced) endoscopy? anyway, blood work etc., etc., they have finally agreed with me that it's not your typical "GI" problem that a little Maalox will ease. It seems to be more "emotionally" based if that doesn't sound too weird. The pain is 100% EXACTLY in the "emotion basket" as I call it or... where everyone says they feel the "butterflies" when they're nervous, anxious or in a real panic. So... just take the feeling of severe butterflies then times 10 or so (until it becomes a true PAIN and no longer just a "feeling") and that is pretty much where I am. As bad as I hate taking the Oxycodone I am sure glad it does relieve the pain for a while. Any ideas I'd sure be happy to listen thanks again...... still "Desperate"

Desperate, that sounds really awful and I am very sorry for how much you are suffering.

Have they had you try anything else to alleviate the stomach issue?

Even if it is emotional based, from getting yourself worked up, there are still medications that may help. It is a known fact that anytime we worry, fret, or get ourselves worked up emotionally, it can cause our stomachs to produce excess acid.

In these cases, many people resort to proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec, but these can actually cause stomach pain, as a side effect. When they finally discovered what my problem was, this is what they gave me and I still ended up back in the ER one night, with severe stomach pain. The first thing the doctor did was tell me to stop taking it, since it can actually contribute to the pain.

For those who already have severe stomach or abdominal pain, the other antacids, such as Pepcid, which contains Famotidine, can be a much better choice.

https:/­/­rxchat.com/­wiki/­Famotidine/­

I realize my case was different than yours, but the doctor gave me the Pepcid, along with a few days of a low-dose Oxycodone for the pain, until it had a chance to work.

A natural remedy that some people get great help from is Ginger, it tends to settle the stomach and alleviate excess acid, too. Having Asperger's, my roommate tends to get worked up frequently and he can't control it, so he often ends up with stomach pain and nausea, but this is what he uses, rather than adding in another medication.

https:/­/­rxchat.com/­wiki/­Ginger/­

I don't if you have any other medical conditions, but make sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist, before trying any of these suggestions.

And I'm just trying to come up with ideas that may help. If you want to ask anything else, feel free and I'll keep thinking on the matter, too.

One other tip is to make sure you don't take the Oxycodone on a completely empty stomach, make sure to take it with a small meal or snack.

Does any else have any suggestions?

Thanks again "verwon".... I mean really! Thanks SO MUCH. You very well might have saved me some pain with the tip about not taking the Oxy on an empty stomach. I had been doing that quite regularly THINKING that an empty stomach would allow the med to start working faster. I will not do that again. Might not hurt to try the Ginger too, (if I knew where to find it) also... as for the stomach acid... I was on Nexium for quite a while and it made no difference. My GI is going to get me into the internal medicine dept. at UAMS (that's a great hospital in Little Rock AR near where I live. I say "near".... about 50 miles). We are hoping someone has seen something in a medical journal or maybe has treated someone with these symptoms. One "gift" I have is the gift of GAB HA! so I am thankful I can (hopefully) articulate the symptoms to them in enough detail to help them help me. Your moral support has been amazing too... can't say thanks enough! BTW... Im still desperate but... I'm actually Ron. :-)

does anyone know of a pharmecy that carries the yellow 10-325 percocets?for some reason they work better for me then the white ones do.but i cant seem to find a pharmecy that has them lately.

Exactly. These are the type of people who make it nearly impossible for those of us in true pain to get our meds. I have had a hard time getting the 30mg oxys in my area (NM) too. My suggestion to people is to have your doctor write your prescription for 10mg. I take 30mg 4 times a day. So the doc would have to write the rx for 300 per month and I know that's a high amount but it's better than having to drive all over the state for them.

Mrs. V, yes there is a very good chance that they will show up. Most narcotics are detectable for up to 4 days, after taking them.

The Lortab contains Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen and the Percocet contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen, so they would show up as different substances.

However, you might be best served to simply tell them of everything you've been through recently and they may take the mistake under consideration.
