Is it okay to take amrix ( muscle relaxer 15 mgs) while taking taking oxycodone (10 mgs) ? ## Oxycodone and Cyclobenzaprine use concomittantly must be done with caution and only with your doctors approval. Combining the two can worsen the central nervous system depressant effects that both medications can cause on their own. Is you doctor aware that you are taking both?

How do I get prescribed oxycodone in mexico? I'm in Guadalahara and im getting major surgery done, but they do not prescribe oxycodone. They gave me a prescription for tramadol to try, but it doesn't work. im having surgery in the morning and I cant bear the thought of the pain I will be having. I told him tramadol doesn't work foe me but he says they no longer have oxy's in mexico. Help! is there anything I can do or take that's strong enough? p.s. my tolerance is really high because ive been in and out of surgery for the past 20yrs. ## I have back pain and neck pain due to an accident. For several years I got few prescriptions, but now all medicine prescribed is not helping. ## Well, I just don't believe Oxy's are no longer available in Mexico that's fo...

here guys i found something as I am also going thru what u are all going thru. projects.propublica.org/checkup/drugs/2954/states/nevada I need a dr who will prescribe, fentanyl patches 100mg, 14 a month, soma 240mg 4 a day, and oxycodone 30mg 4 a day, xanax. this has always done well for me too, i hate that other ppl have abused them. I feel that ppl who dont have problems with them should continue to get them with no problems. ## Unfortunately, doctor's hands are tied on these matters, due to the new regulations that were set forth by DEA last year. They are restricted on how much they can prescribe of any given controlled substance and why they can prescribe it. I understand your frustration, but you're not going to be able to go into a new doctor and ask for specific medicati...

Consider this! With the change related to Oxycontin my problem is the OP type of Medication just doesn't work! So... My doctor has added additonal 30mg Oxycodone's to my monthly medication list. The problem we are having is coming up with a near equal dosage. Depending upon which phamacist you talk to we are getting differnet answers. It doesn't matter howe many tablets you are prescribed the research is done by considering one 80mg Oxycodone and trying to come up wit hthe equal dosage using 30mg Oxycodone. Opinion's - One 80mg Oxycontin is supposed to last 12 hours giving 80 mg of oxycodone for the ful 12 hours, so if that is true then there has to be 960mg. of Oxycodone in each 80 mg Oxycontin. 30mg of Oxycodone tablets are prescribed for 3 - 4 hours. So it would take ...

Can you take the two drugs together ## There can be some risks associated with taking Butalbital with Oxycodone, since they can both cause depression of the central nervous system and taking them together can cause additive effects. It's not that they can't be used together, but it must be done cautiously and the patient should be monitored regularly for danger signs, like shallow breathing and severe sedation. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Learn more Butalbital details here. Have they both been prescribed for you?

I have been on 5mg oxycodone for about 4 years. My doc switched me to the 10mg oxycodone tablet. I took one 10mg tab and NOTHING. It was as if I swallowed air. 4 hours later I took another one 10mg tab...Again NOTHING. I don't understand this. When I was on 5mg, I took 2 of them and it worked. I live in Indiana and the laws here are the 2nd most strict laws in the country. So he did this so he could give me the same amount. My medical history is this: I have severe fibromyalgia, RA, severe restless arm/leg syndrome, sjogrens syndrome, interstitial cystitis, sarcoidosis (it's been in remission for about 10 years but had done damage to my lungs, submandibular glands, and lymph nodes), meralgia paresthesia on my right thigh, occipitial neuralgia, hasimotto's syndrome, sciatica,...

Pharmacy that carries oxycodone neàr Huntsville Alabama to a person that has no insurance ## Hi Alli, The lowest price I have found for oxycodone in and around Hunsville is Kroger pharmacy. Your best bet is to use the drug savings card from here. I guarantee these cards will save you A LOT of money. 2nd best price appears to be Target. Good luck! ## Alli, The price really depends on the dosage amount and size (30 mg, 20 mg, 5mg etc???). I've done some initial spot checking and it seems the cheapest tends to be Kroger, Publix and Walmart. I would check out Costco as well. Good luck. ## There usually isn't a problem if someone is uninsured, as long as they are willing to pay the money for a prescription. Insurance is not a requirement to have a prescription filled. I had to p...

It seems everyone on pain meds illegally has resorted to their local H dealer , then resulting in family members robbing your home and pawning anything of value with no reguard for the impact the theft has done on the person/s the H addict has stolen from, so please think before trying to find an alternative , it usually ends very bad ! I've seen many old friends and family either commit suicide, murder eachother , or accidently overdose , also people are sabatoshing by giving what's called hot shots and or the skin eating disease , worse thing is living with the blood born diseases contracted by sharing the needle or many other ways ! Stay on what your doctor has prescribed you , I personally think pot should be legal in the USA , it makes a great mussel relaxer and helps most ...

Can i take ibuprofen if i took oxycodone hydrochloride 4 hours ago? I have bad tooth pain cause it broke and they're taking it out tomorrow as an emergency. ## They are sometimes taken together for better pain control, but you should not do so without the approval of a medical professional. The FDA warns that Oxycodone carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, constipation, headache, and dry mouth. Has the extraction been done, yet?

I was given a plain yellow round pill that was supposed to be a new oxycodone 15 that can't be abused but it has no imprint codes or markings at all. Is this what it is? ## Hello, Cj! How are you? No, that is most likely something available over the counter, though there could be a small chance that is some type of foreign medication. Under current FDA law, all prescription tablets must have unique imprints to enable their identification, in case of emergency. The only exception would be for medications specially ordered by a doctor and done by a compounding pharmacy, which would be in capsules. The ones that are available from Purdue that have the abuse deterrent feature all have markings, they use OP on them and then the number of the dosage on the opposite side and the 15mg table...

Walmart has been getting the green 10/325 oxycodone is there any difference from the oblong white 10/325? I have been getting those at Walmart and now they have changed it. ## Hello, Patti! How are you? When a medication is available as a generic, it is usually manufactured by several different companies, the FDA has done this to try to create market competition to help keep prices down. As a result, which one your pharmacy carries may change, at any given time, depending on who was offering the cheapest price, when they needed to restock their supply. Without knowing the markings on it, I can only theorize, but my best guess is that they have just been manufactured by a different company. However, if you post back with the markings, I will be happy to double check for you to be sure. T...

Was on Norco 10-325 on and off for a few years due to back problems. Had l4/l5 Laminectomy and was sent home with 5mg oxicodone. It's been 16 days since surgery and I tapered down from 2.5 yesterday. Last one last night at 10 pm. Withdrawals kicked in at 2:30 pm today! Not too bad. But the abdominal pain is bad when the immodium wears off. How long will this last and will it get better or worse physically tomorrow and the next day? No RLS yet. Is it comming???? I want to be done! ## Just wondering how your withdrawal experience went? I weaned the exact same way Im down to 2.5 mg tomorrow for two days then Im done. Just curious what Im in for?! ## I found the rebound pain to be the worst problem, when I stopped pain management, but I didn't taper. I just stopped. But I had extrem...

Went for my new prescription of Percocet today. Saw a P/A. Was given a totally new script: Alvogen Oxycod/ACET 10mg/325mg. Lower left bottom yellow label states 10mg oxycodone HCI is equivalent to 8.9637mg of oxycodone. This medicine is not working at all. Whats wrong? ## There can be differences from one generic medication to another, as was granted by the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, they are allowed to differ by as much as plus or minus 20% in the amount of the active ingredients. This was done to help bring generics to market faster and the FDA considers it an acceptable therapeutic window. Most people never notice a difference, however, some people are very sensitive to any change in their medication, or they may notice a difference, if they've been taking the same one for a long ...

Do the compounded oxys work just as good as tabs? ## Do compounded oxys work as good as.oxys tabs ## What compound are you asking about? Most Oxycodone medications are available in tablet form, there are only a few available in capsules, such as the immediate release Oxycodone. Or did you mean something your doctor specially ordered to be done by a compounding pharmacy? Oxycodone is a narcotic and will work as such, regardless of what form it is in, however, it is sometimes coupled with Acetaminophen, to enhance its effects, in preparations such as Percocet.

How is this compared to loratab ## The tablet with the IP 118 marking doesn't contain Oxycodone, it is another generic for Lortab that contains 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone and 750mgs of Acetaminophen. Learn more Lortab details here. Since it contains a narcotic, this medication does have the potential to be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, constipation and dry mouth. I'd also like to let you know that by request of the FDA, all of these combination medications are going to have the amount of Acetaminophen in them lowered to only 325mgs. This has been done due to the risk of liver damage or failure that can be associated with long-term use and the risk of toxicity from Acetaminophen overdose. Some manufacturers have already begun to implement the ...

been taking oxyco 30 mg IR. Misplaced. Cant refill till end of October. What can be done about this? {edited for privacy} ## Hello, Butch! Sorry about the problem you've run into. If you can't refill until the end of October, you must have just gotten it filled. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. No pharmacy can give you another fill on it. Learn more Oxycodone details here. There is no 30mg OxyIR, that's only available in a 5mg capsule. Did you mean the regular release 30mg that is a generic for Roxicodone? Your only option for a solution would be to try to explain what happened to your doctor and see if they will prescribe something else, or a different dosage, in the meantime. ## 30 mill ir oxycodone does exist, i take it, have been for a few years. ## I would un...

Hello all, First off I'm new to posting here and I must admit this is probably a topic that is quite frequent and I have done days searching but can't seem to really find any info on my specific situation. I apologize in advance for the long post but I will introduce myself and situation. I've been on oxycodone 10/325 for a little over a year now from a botched foot surgery and diabetic neuropathy in this same foot. It helps tremendously and seems to be the only relief I can get is from taking these. Whether its first thing in the morning to be able to stand up and get moving or whether it's to let me settle down and drift off to sleep which is something fairly hard to do. I also was recently diagnosed with PTSD from my job and I am currently out of work for this. It is ...
