Re: A Pain Pill Question

Thanks for the welcome back :-) As I told Joe I take methadone all the
time so it cant be
withdrawal... The blue pills were the same as the percocets 5/325 I have
before me same size.
Will get some OTC Tag's thanks for the suggestion.

I am not supposed to bend, climb stairs etc., I got one of those things
that you can pick up things
off the floor without bending and the suction cups on the ends work really
great. But you know you
cant even sit on the toilet without bending alittle....sigh

Dear Ronnie,

Hey hey hey! Welcome back! Good to see you made it. How's it feeling
besides the stomach upset and such? You having more pain, less, too early
to call?
You can't depend on a pill color, Ronnie. Not with all the generics
floating around. The last Percosets I saw were yellowish/beige, regular
tylenol sized tablets. Were they ittty bitty blue pills? They could have
been 30mg oxycodones (generic roxicodone) the 15 mgs are a bit closer to
green. But they're small, uncoated tablets. I believe there's a dilaudid
(1,2, or 3 mg) that's a blue/green also.
The dose could be at fault. It sounds like you may have a touch of
withdrawal and with it being liquid methadone, it's impossible to say how
much you were getting.
You may, in any case, want to take a little OTC Tagament. It's one of
those "helper drugs" with narcotics, just like adding a little benedryl,
it can intensify the effects. It'll knock that acid down too.

Take care and keep in touch. I expect weekly reports--og

When I was in the hospital I was given Percocet for pain and *liquid*
methadone (my regular
doses) and my pain was controlled. I left the hospital with a rx for
oxycodone. I had to go get
my methadone refilled (2 hr ride day after release=not fun) and the
combo did nothing for my
pain. Last week I saw surgeon and asked him if I could have the blue
pills that they gave me
in the hospital. I knew Percocet was blue... No I didnt know that oxy
was per or the other way
around. Now all I end up with is the same pain but sour stomach and hot
and cold chills. Could it
have been the liquid methadone that was the golden bullet? TIA for any
suggestions...

A little note on the side: I am not minding Bun leaving me messages in
the dust. use to dust
every day now I dont care (yet) about the dust...

A *hope you feel better* from me to you..

Ronnie
