Hi.

I've not been prescribed this, but I'm curious to the effects of opium tincture. I'm curious as to how it tastes, what it does, what it looks like... All I know is that it's a sedative. Any help would be appreciated.

HI Mary, I was given this for severe Diahhrea, but it did not work. I took 1 teaspoon every 4 hours, I was told it is not strong enough to sedate anyone and he was right. As for the taste, it was so bad I could not swallow it, I even mmixed it into coffe and such, but the taste broke though and I tried everything in the house to get rid of the taste, but nothing worked, not even listerine!! It actually tasted like something rotten (dead). I poured mine out and asked the doctor for something else. Good luck to you.

My Doctor gave me a prescription for my pain medicine "NORCO" 5/325, They were white oval pills with blue specks. With one refill, they were exactly the same as the first bottle.
Today she CALLED in a new prescription for the same thing. I picked it up at the pharmacy and when I got home, I noticed they were rather large cream colored pills with the marking of 5161 on one side and nothing on the other side. I returned to the pharmacy and he corrected it, saying he was sorry. But when my husband and I had asked what it was, the pharmacist told us he did not know. He also asked me if I had taken any, I told him no, since they did not look like anything I have ever seen before.
Can anyone tell me what those pills were?
Thank You,
