Avatar n tn Jking is correct....and to answer you question again, no, Morphine does not contain Hydrocodone. Hydrocodone and acetaminophen (Tylenol) is the generic name for Vicodin, Vicodin ES, Anexsia, Lorcet, Lorcet Plus, Norco. I hope you'll share some about you and your pain condition. We'll look forward to hearing more from you.
517090 tn?1256727302 Let me tell you, I was in the worse pain in a long time. I had to call him and get some Hydrocodone, and that helped. So, I have two questions. Should I talk to VA about increasing my Morphine? Why didn't the Morphine work for my dental surgeory? Thanks.
647120 tn?1256601651 When I started seeing a pain manager for chronic leg pain last fall, she said it was nerve pain without doing any diagnostics. She put me on morphine, and I've had ups and downs with it. Now I am considering going back to square one by weening off of morphine and seeing what my pain level is. It is almost a year since I had L4-5 spinal fusion, and I hate the side effects, costs, and stigma that go with taking this class of drugs. Has anyone tried this? What was your experience?
Avatar f tn btw, hydrocodone does not contain acetaminophen. Medications like Vicodin and Norco contain both hydrocodone and acetaminophen, but hydrocodone is itself a semi-synthetic opioid, similar to oxycodone.
Avatar f tn t have an operation is everyone I have talked to have been in worse shape than when they were before their operation,some needing several more of them with same results) but I have found the combination of the morphine pills and hydrocodone I take less pill and have less side effects like constipation .
Avatar f tn 12 panel but they dont test for vicodin (hydrocodone) they test for oxycodone and opiates that are metabolized into morphine in the body, such as oxycontin, dilaudid, heroin and of course morphine. According to the pharmacist hydrocodone isnt considered dangerous enough to be tested for. I asked her 'do they live in a bubble or something??
Avatar f tn The metabolism of codeine results in other opioid metabolites, including morphine, and a minor amount of hydrocodone. In fact, this is how codeine works -- by itself, codeine is ineffective. But because it is metabolized into a small amount of morphine, it is effective against pain. Depending on the laboratory method used by your doctor's testing service, false positives can be reported if their "cut-off level" is set too low.
723959 tn?1314744225 and after i took it, i realized that I took a 10mg morphine pill, that was in the wrong bottle. I have Never taken morphine before and I am scared. will I be okay, since I took the hydro at 5am.
Avatar m tn using narcotics during detox is not a real good idea as it is not defined as a detox if u r taking them....it will prolong this even longer if u continue...what was ur original dose? and DOC?...u may have needed to taper down a bit if it was a high dose...if u detox and quit taking narcotics the amount u used daily and the DOC can help determine how long til u feel better plus age, nutrional status and other things....1 week for most...2 weeks for some til the physical symptoms are gone...
Avatar f tn s, I have been taking cholesterol medication for about 2 months, I also take Hydrocodone 10/325 and Tramadol 50mg daily. I take 3 and 3. I was told that if my liver enzyme's were not down by my next visit on 3/23 I would no longer be able to take the Hydrocodone nor the cholesterol medication. My question is what alternatives to I have to replace the Hydrocodone10/325. Please reply with any advice or suggestions. Thank You.
Avatar f tn I turned down morphine pump and nerve blocks got down to 50mg hydrocodone on my own, although lately pain swelling so much worse I have started taking higher doses of hydrocodone again to get grip on pain and function thru the day. I am seeing chiropractor just as of last week says he can help I am hopeful! Want off daily meds!
Avatar f tn now my dr wants me to go on morphine i dont want to but he says it will manage my pain better i am 67 and still work cant i refuse and stay as things are? is there anything less adictive to take? i need to work and dont want to get hooked on anything stronger. his reason was that 4 pills a day is too much.
Avatar m tn my dr was recently fired at the pain management clinic i go and was recieving 4-5 lortab 10s a day. a new young dr has cut me down to 3-4 per day and wants me to consider morphine 2 times a day. the dosage i was taking helped but the reduction has really affected my comfort. im not sure what mg but i expect him to start me on 15 of morphine. will the morphine help me? should i talk to him about another option such as percocet?
Avatar m tn I have bone spurs and disc problems in my neck I have been on hydrocodone for 5 years and they do not do what they started out doing I take 10/325 4 times daily the doctor put me on morphine 15mg 3 times daily but they make me very sleepy so he put me back on hydrocodone is their anything that does not make you sleepy stronger than the hydrocodone.
Avatar m tn I was on hydrocodone for two years for a back injury,then I found out that I had cancer and they put me on morphine for the last 6 months. The doctor is trying to wean me off of the pain meds.But I think she is trying to wean me to fast. I have been very depressed and most days ,I do not have enough energy to get out of bed. I am being told that I most likely not to live another year.
Avatar m tn I have had both oxy and hydrocodone. i think the hydrocodone is the lesser of the evils. not as strong and tolerence didn't build up as fast. also the hydrocodone seemed to last longer when you take it. from what alot have said, i think the hydros are easier to come off of too. but all of them will sooner or later get a hold of you. there are no good, safe opiates to take.
Avatar f tn I am at a lost as to what to do but I can tell you all that I feel the Hydrocodone is a very nasty toxic dependent drug and hard to take and deal with life. I also know it affects my moods and depression.
Avatar f tn html#fentanylpatch On this site they convert various fentanyl doses into an equivalent morphine dose. It is widely accepted that morphine and hydrocodone are fairly similar, almost identical in terms of potency (http://www.globalrph.com/narcoticonv.htm) although i consider this comparison too generous and see hydro as being more akin to dihydrocodiene So, 12mcg of fentanyl is equal to 22.5mgs - 65mgs of morphine per day which in turn is equal to the same amount in hydrocodone.
Avatar f tn question: if 1 mg of suboxone is equal to 20-30 mgs of hydrocodone would that be the same for oxycontin would 1 mg of sub be equal to 20-30 mgs oxy then?
Avatar f tn I've taken hydrocodone for years, pain management doctor requires urine samples and I've never ever had one show up as morphine. That is very strange...I did test positive for oxycodone once, but insisted on a retest and it came back just the hydrocodone in my system.
Avatar m tn I don't know why so many people think that they have to feel no pain while they withdraw and go through all kinds of medications and changes in medications in order to do so. People don't die from opiate/narcotic withdrawal (includes codeine). They just feel like horse hockey for awhile. Even non-addict people who have bad accidents and end up in the hospital for weeks or months on regular heavy doses of morphine are simply taken off when it is time to end the medication taking.
Avatar m tn Hey guys. I haven't been posting in a while because I relapsed the Weds before last wed I took 10mg hydrocodone. That same friday I took 15mg. Then on sunday I got a hold of some morphine and started taking that and the last 8 days have been a hydro and morphine binge. I'm not sure if my withdrawals with come back or not. I heard something about them coming back quicker each time you relapse.
Avatar n tn So, are have you been doing the morphine and hydros at the same time? I thought they pretty much worked the same way??? Just wondering.
699217 tn?1323438700 I'll do my best..... Here is the easiest way to look at it, (i think?) ... Percocet has tylenol in it, however, oxycodone and oxycontin are just straight percocet, no tylenol. I believe that oxycodone is the generic name for Roxicodone, which is also obviously percocet without the tylenol. Oxycontin and oxycodone are the same thing, EXCEPT oxycodone is a quick release tablet, and oxycontin is a slow release of the same med. Hydrocodone is the ingredient in Vicodin and Lortab.
229538 tn?1300377767 The recommendation from a panel of drug safety specialists would subject Vicodin and dozens of other medicines to the same restrictions as other narcotic drugs like oxycodone and morphine. The Food and Drug Administration panel voted 19-10 in favor of the move, which is supported by the Drug Enforcement Agency. The FDA will weigh the vote in its decision-making process. Hydrocodone belongs to a family of drugs known as opioids, which include morphine, heroin, oxycodone, codeine and methadone.
