Avatar f tn Like Tuck said, did the same two physicians prescribe these drugs together? To me, this sounds unusual putting an Amphetamine and an opiate together. I almost seems dangerous. Call the Pharmacy or the Doc who did the prescribing. They will have a good answer. There are no Doctors in this forum and it seems like a good question to ask a professional.
Avatar m tn Fentanyl is a stonger form of an opioid. Opiate and opioid mean the same thing: Opiate is an adjective while opioid is a noun. Percocet is an opioid as is fentanyl. They are synthetic which means they are man made and not derived from a plant. Good job on getting off the Percocet!
Avatar f tn Prolonged high doses of amphetamines followed by an abrupt cessation can result in extreme fatigue and mental depression. Chronic abuse of amphetamines can result in the manifestation of amphetamine psychosis.[1] I found this when i googled Adderall. Please talk with your doctor and tell him what is going on.
Avatar m tn Picking a well-tolerated opiate is usually a 'hit or miss' process. The differences in tolerability come from several factors. For example, for some opiates, the administered medication is a 'prodrug' that must be converted to the active drug by the liver; an example is the conversion of codeine to morphine, which is more efficient in some people than in others. There is also wide variation in the degree of nausea produced by different medications in different people.
Avatar f tn Hyslinga is extended release hydrocodone. If vicodin was an effective opiate for you previously, changing over to Hyslinga may work well for you. There are dosage adjustments made for cross tolerance when switching from one opiate to another, so there should be little to no issues regarding withdrawal.
988378 tn?1250687186 Should I lay off of my ADHD meds (amphetamine) while trying to break my other addiction. I am 25 and I am just going cold turkey, basically from 20 a day to nothing. Any advice would be great. Thank you.
Avatar m tn here this will explain it better then i can IMPORTANT INFORMATION Physicians can now treat up to 100 opioid dependent patients with Suboxone—find a doctor now. PROPER DISPOSAL OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS Office of National Drug Control Policy, February 2007. These guidelines provide information regarding the proper disposal of unused, unneeded or expired prescription drugs.
Avatar f tn Hi There and Welcome- You might want to research these meds for an answer but simply put, Subutex is an opiate and naltrexone is an opioid antagonist which reverses the action of an opiate. If you take it after ingesting an opiate you will go into withdrawal immediately. That's why the doctor told you to wait a week before taking it. You could try to increase you're energy level by eating protein, taking B vitamins and other supplements, and getting some exercise...
Avatar f tn I have read that opiate addiction can damage the brains ability to produce endorphins, and that opiate maintenance therapy can help replace the lost endorphins thus helping depression.suboxone is not doing this for me as I am still very depressed.My question is whether switching to methadone would perhaps help my drug cravings and depression better than suboxone?
Avatar m tn for a specific opiate - even when you have a very good reason to do so - medical providers view this as your "drug of preference." It's apt to make you appear as a drug seeker. Sad - but true in this opiate phobic climate. It's also true that medical providers prescribe the lowest possible doses with the least potent opiate. Oxycodone is a step above Hydrocodone.
Avatar f tn Tramadol is a freaky drug. It's marketed as a non-narcotic because it's not chemically alike to traditional opiates. However, it acts on the same receptors in a similar way to opiates. Therefore, for addiction purposes, it's treated as an opiate. I also read a paper recently that said that it's mechanism of action is alike Trazodone (an old school antidepressant). This certainly explains the extreme depression after cessation.
Avatar f tn Why would a Dr refuse to prescribe me subtex over suboxone for pain management if I have never admitted or reported or been caught as an opiate addict?
Avatar n tn Dilaudid is 3 times stronger than morphine but it's an opiate and I believe all opiate WDs are the same. When it's time to stop the Dilaudid with your doctor maybe he can give you something to ease the WDs.
Avatar m tn So take full dose at 8 am and your sleeping pills will then work better.
Avatar f tn an opiate is an opiate is an opiate!!! You should not feel any WD.
1861446 tn?1320445285 Hi ppl. I've been on amphetamine since I was 14. I'm 28 this month. That's half of my life. I've been working hard the past 12 months to gain funding for rehab. I'm curious if anyone else has a similar story to me and even more curious to know whether life can actually feel worth living ever again..
Avatar m tn ve been taking opiates for over 2 years and your doctor obviously sees you as opiate tolerant and capable of handling the fentanyl or he woud not have given them to you so I think you can relax about the overdose concern. As for addiction, it is a danger with ANY opiate. Althought the patch you have is on the lower end of dosage, it IS a strong opiate. Do you believe yourself to be an addict?? Or merely dependent?? Do you plan to stay on these forever?? Or are you wanting to stop??
Avatar m tn Adderal is an amphetamine, but it shouldn't test as "meth" in a good drug screen. I happen to have a urine drug screen form right here, you can test "negative". Or positive for cannabinoids, cocaine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, opiates, etc. The amphetamine and meth are two different "check boxes", and you should have tested positive for amphetamine. If you have a prescription in your name that shouldn't be a problem. Best wishes.
Avatar m tn I'm 18, and currently diagnosed with multiple disorders including bipolar depression, ADD, severe anxiety, OCD, FPP. My conditions were just diagnosed this year although I've had them for nearly all my life. As someone with bipolar disorder, like everyone else with my condition I've been through some (others would say a lot of) drug abuse.
445698 tn?1208618507 Neither drug gives you a great euphoric feeling Methadone is pure synthetic opiate while sub is partial antagonist but also contains the drug Naloxene wich brings people out of opiate w/d,,the reason these two drugs are used is for the reason of not giving ppl the "opiate high" if it got you high then it wouldnt be a good detox drug. Although some people when they first start it or increase there dose can feel a little euphoric but not much and not more than a couple days.
Avatar f tn it also binds with the red blood sells and the same atachment location than an opiate would so in turn no opiate get to were it goes to get you high it also will kick off any opiate that is already attached to the dopine receptors primary use is to control opiate over dose primary route given is IV so if someone is trying to get high off of suboxone they can't but that does not mean they don't try and keep abuseing the drug to try in turns would cause an over dose of the narcotic
Avatar m tn I received a lot of questions regarding seizures during opiate withdrawal, I also endured a lot of criticism about it being true so i figured id post my experience in detail. I figured some might be curious or doubtful and might find insight in my experiences. Withdrawal Related Seizures. My Experience: First i wanted to point out a few little things. Most seizures related to opiate withdrawal have other factors in play like other drugs/alcohol or illness/disease.
