Hi. I am a pain management patient who suffers daily with extreme back and hip pain. I was prescribed Norco 10-325...They didn t work well at all. When I expressed this to the doctor, she seemed to not believe me at all.Finally she changed it to tramadol 300 Er. Still no relief. My neighbor (70 YEAR OLD CANCER PATIENT)have mea pill that says op on one side and 20 on the other. She days this still help me.. is this safe?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. No, taking medicines from other patients is very bad. Besides the obvious risk of fatal narcotic overdose, there is the likelihood that you will be discovered and tossed out of pain management forever. Alternatively, Methadone programs will see people who have gotten backed into a corner in pain issues. No judgment. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
