A very close friend of ours ran out of loritabs at work today. His back was killing him and one of the guys at work gave him a pill and said it was just like loritab. Suspicious, he gave the pill to my husband and asked him to do some research on the internet about it, to find out exactly what it was. So my husband brought it home, and I have it sitting here in front of me.
It is a little round blue pill, about the size of a generic tylenol. It is a light baby blue, with no distiguishing marks, slashes or logos. It has letters arched aroun the edges of the top that say "Nest-Ward" and arched on the bottom are the numbers "787".
If anyone knows what this is, please let me know asap.
thanks

Concerning that pill
I was recently given some of those same pills for migraine;
They are a barbiturate.
They are addictive.
They are prone to cause rebound headaches.
They will make you drunk, do not take them before work. I had a very hard time standing up, even fell out of my chair once.
