Blue Pills ???


What are the blue pills that Jackie always buys and consumes? $200 for six of them.

Thanks

Oxy, I think.

Alpha predators are very rarely interested in singalongs.

I'm an ex addiction and from my experience (opiate pills) they are 30mg instant release oxycodone which usually goes for $25-35 a pill

I have had two extensive knee surgeries, including a replacement, and a hip replacement. I haven't been able to identify the blue pills from any on-line PDR (Physician Desk Reference). Over the course of these surgeries, I have been prescribed Vicodin [hydrocodone], Percocet [oxycodone], oxycontin, valium, Tylox and Lortab. The latter two are brand names. I would almost have to see a physical copy of the PDR to identify them (nothing I took remotely resembled those dark blue elongated tablets. I do have to say that I THINK the pill she kept in her ring box was a Tylox, if memory serves me correctly.

I think the show is purposely camouflaging them. We don't want people looking for the big blue pills like Jackie takes.

Oddly enough, they actually look exactly like a medication called Treximet I used to take for migraines.
They're insanely expensive, even with insurance. But they're not a narcotic, so I doubt Jackie would like them lol.

They look exactly like the Oxycontin 160 mgs, at least from my old PDR. If anyone looks in a PDR or Googles, they'll see what I mean.

However, those stopped being made before this episode was supposed to take place. Not that this show is known for its opioid accuracy. Nevertheless, Oxy 160s wouls never be only $200 for six at street level. I agree, the blues are probably meant to be Oxycodone or Oxycontin--Jackie's favorite--and based on price, 30-60 mgs a piece.

Add: I just saw this episode, and Jackie actually says to herself, "My God, Roxicodone." So that answers that, LOL. That's generic Oxycodone. (Clearly I forgot she said this when answering yesterday.) I'm pretty sure like Oxycodone, Roxicodone has always come in 30s at the highest, so that is probably the dosage Jackie got. (Sidenote, in this episode, she got 80mgs Oxycontin from O'Hara. What?!)
