Steve Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I have a friend in Pnomh Penh who needs to get Vicadin after his bad back started flaring up again. He had a prescription a while back but didn't bring any with him from the states as it was feeling better. He went to a few pharmacies (chemists to you non yanks) and they don't know what he's talking about (he's a newbie). He even wrote it down. Is there anyone who knows the local term, generic name that is used or whatever so he can get a few. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Well, he has to change what pain med he wants. Since you can buy morphine OTC there, they just must not stock Vicodan. Tell him to try Tramal (generically: tramadol hydrochlorine). They are pretty strong, take no more than two 100mg caps at a time; one should be enough. These are available in any pharmacy here OTC in Bangers, so I suspect same for PP. Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 O/T, but why does XANAX put me to sleep? I read up on it and is seems to be just another valium type drug. DOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 ND, maybe you must reduce dosage: "Symptoms of an Xanax ( Alprazolam ) overdose include: Sleepiness. Dizziness. Confusion. A slow heart beat. Difficulty breathing. Difficulty walking and talking. The appearance of being drunk. Unconsciousness." source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
