Avatar n tn Diclofenac is an NSAID, not a narcotic, so you should be fine.
513154 tn?1340225289 Tramadol is not classified as a narcotic, however, it is as close to narcotic as any other narcotic, so if you are looking for a non-habit forming drug or something with less side effect from a narcotic, Ultram/tramadol may not be the route to take. NSAID have been shown to be effective with osteoarthritis.
Avatar f tn I wonder why that is never mentioned when it is a possibility? My new dr gave me the same when I asked for something other then celebrex (after 3 days stops working and starts making me sick). If I had known that I would've made it a priority to go pick it up the same day. I was planning to pick it up tomorrow anyway, so I'll let you know my experience with it.
1524673 tn?1327841500 My neuro prescribed a drug called Cambie, which is Diclofenac potassium, although not a narcotic it totally messes me up. My neuro and my endo have not communicated yet. All of this has happened very quickly. So I just wanted to be sure it was OK for me to take the Cambia due to my low cortisol levels. I have avoided taking it after I looked up low cortisol and the inability of my body to rid itself of potassium. As to the symptoms you described I am very familiar with them.
Avatar n tn 5 mg of hydrocodone which is the opioid (narcotic) component and 325 mg of acetaminophen (tylenol). Diclofenac is a strong NSAID (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). These two medications are in totally different classes...one is a opioid and the other is an NSAID. Strictly based on pharmacology, the hydrocodone/acetaminophen is stronger. However, these two medicines should really not be compared in that fashion as they each work better than the other for different types of ailments.
557111 tn?1219712047 Why is Tramadol HCI considered non-addictive and non-narcotic? I have read so much about it and it says EVERYWHERE that it is "narcotic-like" and that it is an opiod. It also says that if you have been dependent on any other drugs you should not be given Tramadol. Shouldn't this drug be considered a controlled substance? I am asking this because I was addicted to percosets and then the doctor gave me Tramadol for pain. I stopped taking it and I feel horrible!!!!
Avatar f tn I had an allergic reaction to (apparently) a NSAID. I've taken a lot NSAID's all my life for different reasons. I also have a long history of allergies in my life (rhinitis, latex, dog and cat hair, contact and atopic dermatitis) and my grandmother was allergic to basically 90% of all drugs.
5639849 tn?1372346883 and the doctors like to write the script because it is not a controlled substance. But, is should be. If you are 30 days into recovery, I sure would hate to see you go backwards by introducing an opiate into your system, even if it's a small amount. Please do your research on this drug. I have taken it and can tell you firsthand that the withdrawals are not fun (and I was taking 1 or 2 per day!).
Avatar f tn Hi Andrea. I have been taking Vicodin (Hydrocodone/APAP 5/500) for only about 6 weeks now for a serious leg injury, and I also do not feel any kind of "high" from it. I only feel pain relief. I started out on Percocet at least 4X a day for the first two weeks, then stepped down to Vicodin, 2 pills 3X a day. My doctor prescribed the Vicodin for 1 pill, but I found that it wasn't doing anything for the pain, so I bumped it up to 2.
Avatar f tn Apparently, there is a gel that is already made up that can be used. It is called Emulgel. I think I may ask about that at the next doc. appt.
653169 tn?1303446369 Yes and not a good one! I damaged both wrist ligaments, giving serious pain. Had 2 days off work, thinking this was a temporary injury. My doctor prescrbed Diclofenac and I went back to work the next day. I had my 1st tablet the night before, then the 2nd on mid morning break at work. I was sat in my car, guarding a farm gate for site personnel, (light duties), Wthin 10 minutes, I guess that 2nd tablet was the one that really kick-started the course of tablets....
473384 tn?1210206242 Kitty: I too am taking diclofenac- it is now a $4 a month med. My dr. has me on 75mg 2x a day. I am only taking one though. 2 upset my stomach. I am also taking Tylenol now for breakthrough pain. Good luck with your surgery and thanks for posting. Your post helped me.
230262 tn?1316645934 You will need a prescription for them, but they work great. You just put them on the area that is hurting and since it is a topical medication, only the area where the patch is will become numb. It has sure brought me welcome relief on many a sleepless night.
Avatar m tn i masturbate a lot and now it seems that it is now in the right testicle. i took medication for it for a month and it seemed ok, but now its back in other one. What should i do? Please Help Me.
Avatar f tn Olanzapine, (Zyprexa) is NOT a narcotic.
Avatar f tn Tramadol is highly addictive and about to become a classified narcotic, as it is more dangerous to suddenly withdraw from than heroin, like many of the sedatives out there, even tho it is technically a synthetic narcotic - be careful because that addiction can just sneak up on you! and Steve, I hear you. I was taking 40 of them a day and the only thing that got me off them was suboxone, which unfortunately I am still taking 3 years later.
Avatar f tn I need to retract that. Fioricet is not an opiate but it is considered a narcotic drug in that it produces stupor,coma,and insensitivity to pain. It is,also,scheduled as any other narcotic.
Avatar m tn I think I need the strong stuff like diclofenac and B12 and b6. There is a pills called OKA B that I use to take when having muscle pain and it took pains away. But I've heard that diclofenac is not good to take during tx. Has anyone taken diclofenac during tx or is it too bad for the liver.
1204528 tn?1588786333 You should not stop carbazepine but diclofenac can be stopped a bit to see if it is the cause if even tho I don't think it can cause shortness of breath. I would have my blood pressure checked too. Mionevrix is okay to stop too to see if it's the cause. The odds are very high that your problem is anxiety.
Avatar m tn It can be but can also be caused by other things. But it is the most common cause of swollen testicales so that is why I said it.
Avatar n tn And please remember, that if you see multiple doctors, you should let them know all medications you take including anything over the counter such as aspirin. Here is information regarding diclofenac gel. https://www.drugs.com/voltaren-gel.html. Diclofenac is voltaren and the gel contains the Nsaid. This information states clearly that aspirin should not be used at the same time. Normally, blood thinners are also not used with Nsaids.
Avatar n tn Mobic is an NSAID pain reliever (same class of drugs as ibuprofen, motrin, aleve) and not a narcotic so the addiction potential is very very low. You should be fine as long as you have no stomach issues as NSAIDS tend to aggravate those symptoms or if taken in excess, create stomach problems. Good luck to you! I think the Mobic is a much better alternative to pain management than any narcotic.

Avatar n tn Endo Pharmaceuticals, the maker of Voltaren 1% gel, is the sole supplier and they have released a statement that Voltaren gel is on back order and they cannot estimate a release date. Hmm. Endo also could not provide a reason for the shortage, though it is suspected that cross contamination problems at the plant that manufactures Voltaren gel are the culprits. What are your options now? 1) Flector patches (diclofenac epolamine 1.3%) are still available and an option to think about.
Avatar m tn I am really confused ok the reason they were will to fill the dicfolnac is its not a narcotic . Have you been getting meds the last four months ? it sounds as if they were not going to fill the narcotics and controlled substances until a certain date because you still had active running scripts.So they needed to verify with your doctor the change in dose and the early pickk up.Have u tried calling the doctor ?
