So I picked up a prescription for Vicodin on Friday. Well with the liver I am super anal. This morning I went to take one and I noticed something was off. The pill was bigger and no red dots. The number did not match bottle, I looked it up. It was 500mg tylenol only.

They must be having someone they are watching, they did not even hesitate giving me a new prescription. They apologized, took my name, said that I might get contacted when he files his report. I was thinking they would throw a fit and say that how do they know I did not change it with regular tylenol.

prescription mistakes of any kind are a huge big unforgiveable mistake. they are normally reported up and down the pole no matter who made the mistake. of course they wanted to get the wrong pills out of your hands asap and keep you satisfied.

UncleBill, I see you frequent various forums in HW. Do you have liver disease or does a loved one?

The beginning of the year, a new law went into action regarding pain pills Rxs. They are indeed watching random people and tracking their usage.

The most worrisome part of this mistake

Is that syxx could have taken a boat load of tylenol by mistake and completely blown out that liver!,,,,

GUB, no there's not. But if you are a patient or loved one with liver disease, we like more info so we can respond appropriately and offer help.

Carol, you are right about the med.

That was my concern. Luckily I am super cautious now.

My friends wife works for an insurance company on the prescription side of things. She is going to email me and help me report the pharmacy, especially since the tylenol could of did more damage. This way I will protect myself etc.

My docs know not to prescribe any pain meds that contain anything other than the pain killer. Vicodin has a lot of tylenol in it. I won't touch over the counter meds, unless my docs tell me to.

My liver doc said with where I am 2 grams a day is perfectly fine. I am very cautious. I have horrible back issues from bad genes, a break due to a fall off a roof and to much power lifting.

I get to around noon and have a hard time functioning. I want a patch as that is easiest on liver but she says to hold off as long as possible. Plan now is to rotate monthly between 5/325 vicodin and oxy without tylenol.

My primary called and talked to my hep doc. The surgeon and stent doc who are all liver specialists agree.

I take 2 pills 2 to 3 times a day. That is 1950mg a day. The liver doc said its fine.

Syxx, I fixed your typo, as I'm quite sure that the surgeon and stent docs didn't "eat" the liver specialists. turn

       hi syxx,  i have same issues.  since you are taking 2 5/325, can your doc prescribe 10/325 vicodin.  you cut your tylenol in half.      barry

I will bring that up next visit. I go in every 2 months for followups for back and primary checks liver enzymes even though she does not have to. She was so worried when this first happened she cried telling me.
