I have 3 pills

1. I have a small orange oval tablet with no writing on it but it has a line down the middle.

2. small round white tablet with writing on it, it says MD 562.

3. and a larger whte tablet with a 3 on one side and the other side says 93 with 150 under it. I know the 3 has something to do with codeine... right?

help me out ppl - 2 Pill IDs and 1 Unknown

1.  Sorry, but it's not possible to accurately identify a pill with no imprint.  The pill could be a US vitamin or supplement or a foreign medication.

2.  MD 562 is 20 mg extended-release methylphenidate, a stimulant drug used to treat ADHD.

Note that Eckerd has two images of MD 562 attributed to different manufacturers.    A couple of databases confirmed the imprint, so that's not a problem.  But I don't know what manufacturer made your particular pill.

3.  You're right - it has something to do with codeine.  93 150 on one side and 3 on the other side is 30 mg codeine and 300 mg acetaminophen.  It's generic Tylenol #3.
