What's the color of liquid demerol ## I was unable to look up the exact color of the liquid, but I did locate a list of the inactive ingredients in the solution, which does suggest that there are no added colorings, just a flavoring agent... "ORAL SOLUTION: Benzoic Acid, Flavor, Liquid Glucose, Purified Water, Saccharin Sodium. The oral solution is a pleasant-tasting, nonalcoholic, banana-flavored solution containing 50 mg of DEMEROL, brand of meperidine hydrochloride, per 5 mL teaspoon (25 drops contain 13 mg of DEMEROL)." Referenced from: This is not to say that the solution is clear, but it may be wise to contact the manufacturer directly about this, if you have that information in hand? I hope this helps!

white oblong pill apo 083 ## i found one of these pills in my sons room... what is it and should i be worried? ## Well it is definitely not Demerol or Phen like the title of the original post says, this is Paroxetine 20mgs, a generic for the antidepressant Paxil. There aren't many other uses for this, and it is a prescription only medicine, so if you son has it and it is not prescribed for him, the question is where did he get it, and what did he think it was?

Has anyone had success getting their scripts filled in Tijuana, Mexico? I've heard from a couple people that it's a walk in the park. Too many American drs are too afraid to prescribe meds. I've heard u can go to a pharmacist there and get a script and fill it at the same pharmacy. Anyone else had success? Also, I've been on oxy 60mg for over 5 years. What's my choice from here if my insurance stops paying for it in the new year? Its $1,280.!!!! I can't afford that. Is there a med comprabable to the oxycodone? I need something as strong if not stronger. Please help! Super scared ## If you get cut off your pills you can switch over to buprenorphine or methadone.

I guess no one has ever heard of Demerol before. ## Hi Chuck, I've had a couple operations where they give me Demerol shots afterwards to relieve the pain. Although I've never heard of anyone being prescribed Demerol for use at home. I'm sure it is possible, but I have only been given Demerol by injection at the surgical facility. ## nubain is as strong -probably stronger than demoral _meperdine (drug name) - and it's not anywhere online - now nubain's injectible - that's individual need whether their pain is strong enough and want instant relief - next to that is TEMGESIC, sublingual - melt under tongue. But don't take it with other opiates. Hope that helps. Just beware of your laws wherever you live even though whoever you order from knows them and does the...

round little white pill,with a line in middle numbers 183 ## Sorry, I can't find any listings, in multiple databases for any prescription pills with only a 183 on them, are there any other markings? Letters? Numbers? Logos? ## Cannot identify pills I found, searched for hours on drug searches ect. Round white one side has a 183 and a greater than symbol with a less than symbol when held upright. Could be seen as two 45 degree angles facing each other one inside the other. The other side has a score on it halfing the pill. Also appears to have a coating. I though these pulls were morphine sulfates. But now I don't think so, cannot identify it anywhere.

I was on this drug and taking it regularly for way too long. Where or does anyone know the long term effects are for this drug? Will my brain be permanently damaged? Anything I should be worring about? ## Hi, Britianyann! How are you doing? The brain issue with using an opiate for a long period of time isn't the type of damage that most people typically think of, as in having trouble with your cognition and intelligence levels. What it really causes is a problem with the brain chemicals, such as Serotonin, which is the happy chemical that helps create good moods and a more even temperament. When it gets out of flux, you may experience more anxiety and depression than you used to, because it can be hard for your body to be able to balance things back out. It may eventually rectify it...

Is this a narcotic for pain? Is it also called Demerol? ## How come I can't find any information at this website about Meperidine AKA Demoral ## I'm in search for a Dr to prescribe femoral, or dilladid. Here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Can you help me with that? ## Demerol, which is also known as Meperidine, is a mild narcotic analgesic that is to treat moderate to severe pain. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Stacey, what search terms are you using?

The best advice I can give is to see a new doctor, make sure they get a full copy of your mos...

I need to know if Demerol 50mg tablets have been discontinued? Pharmacists say only the liquid form is available but my doctor is not willing to prescribe the liquid form, so I need to know what an equivalent may be. ## Most Doctors will not prescribe Demerol on an out patient basis in any form. I had lung cancer and it was administered in the hospital but the Doctor said he would not prescribe it on an out patient basis. It will relieve my pain better than anything but I have only received it on an inpatient basis. ## Hi laura, unfortunately it appears that the demerol tablets have in fact been discontinued: ## I remember it being good for knee pain and that's about it. It has some serotonin issues or something. I believe it was popular among football (USA) players but keep that h...

i take dilaudid and tramadol and have been for a least 3 years, i take several 8mg dilaudid at a time. i reember demerol working nicely while i was in the hospital....how do i gwt me dr to give me that? ## Hi shawn, Some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for any 'specific medication' when you see a doctor. Just make sure to transfer or take a copy of all your medical records with you if your doctor doesn't already have them. Then, the best approach in my opinion, is to discuss up front and honestly what has or hasn't worked for you in the past. Most doctors will then take it under consideration and hear you out if you approach them in this manner, with what you believe to be most helpful to your condition. I think a lot of patients don't get the medica...

Just had surgery. Allergic to morphine codeine dilaudid and Lora tab. Walgreens refuses to fill script! ## Hello, Angela! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having. Why did they refuse to fill it? There is currently a shortage of some controlled substances, so that may be why it's hard to find right now.

I found a pill in my cabinet when I was cleaning it out (my husband was very ill for 2 years and I guess it got stowed away for some reason) and looked it up by imprint and I only found one answer and NO photos.

I was given 50 mg. of Demerol and 4 mg. of Dilaudid for a headache. I have had many meds before for migraines but I was disoriented for three days and my skin was crawling and I was so weak, is that a high dosages at once? ## That would be my guess, the Dilaudid was too strong for you to jump right to it. It is a very strong narcotic, hydromorphone, that is why it is only 4mgs, it is very potent. If you aren't already tolerant to narcotics, then jumping to that dose will cause the problems you were having, as well as some withdrawals if you took a few and then quit taking it altogether. There are other alternatives that you can try, so rather than live with the adverse effects, talk to your doctor about maybe just trying to Demerol for awhile, or Percocet, Vicodin, something like th...

was told it is 75 mg. demerol ## what is a small white pill with a v on one side and 75 on the other ## To the original poster, is that the only marking on the tablet? Can you please post back and clarify? Tony, is it an A, or a V? If the marking is V 75, then the tablet is manufactured by Harris Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Hydroxyzine, which is used to treat allergic reactions, and as a sedative. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, and sedation.

I am allergic to morphine, Demerol and codeine. I itched all over my head and ears when taking a hydrocodone/acetemetephine yesterday. Am I allergic to hydro now? ## Hello, Carol! How are you doing? Has there been any change? It is common for someone that's allergic to one medication to discover the are also allergic to others, according to reports by the FDA. Thus, it would be best to have this checked out, those could be symptoms of an allergic reaction, and if they are, they could get worse with repeated exposure, according to NIH studies. Is there anything else I can help with?
