Avatar n tn However, if he is not suicidal and has a prolonged history of morphine/opiate abuse, shows mild,if any, symptoms of intoxification and is otherwise "normal" then he should be fine. Whilst 300 mgs of morphine is considerable for someone who is opiate naive, it is relatively routine for the experienced addict. Anyways, like i said, based on the information you provided, i am left to fill the cavernous blanks with speculative assumptions and wild guesses.
Avatar m tn Aloha all, I forgot to add that I went off the morphine once before and on the third day after I started having WD's and took some more morphine, wish I would have just stayed off and would probably be OK by now.
Avatar f tn My Dad was recently put on oxycontin- short term- for hip pain. He is having surgery next week. My Mom called telling me that Dad was having to concentrate on his breathing, was dizzy and having problems concentrating. I told her to bring him to the hospital. I will be leaving to meet them but I thought that these were all signs of a overdose. I really haven't had these signs when I was abusing so I am not sure. Can anyone enlighten me?
Avatar n tn Can a baby overdose off of hydrocodone, oxycodone , or Roxycodone through breast milk if the mother takes the right dosage, or slightly more, only once a day and not everyday. If he breastfeeds while its in the mothers system, is sleepiness a sign of overdosing? If so, can l the overdose possibly death happen after the mother is no longer on medication?
Avatar n tn Although 12 hrs have passed,but still clinical examination from a doctor is mandatory to rule out any morphine overdose. Morphine overdose occurs when a person intentionally or accidentally takes too much of the medicine. I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
Avatar f tn Naloxone is a drug used to counter the effects of opioid overdose, for example heroin or morphine overdose. Naloxone is specifically used to counteract life-threatening depression of the central nervous system and respiratory system. It is marketed under various trademarks including Narcan, Nalone, and Narcanti, and has sometimes been mistakenly called "naltrexate.
Avatar m tn 42 am, she was administered morphine and robinul x 1 stat. She instantly died. Did the combination, that close together have any possibility of causing her death?
Avatar m tn can you take percet with morphine sulfate er 30mg? in other words can you mix the two together?
Avatar n tn Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. A tramadol overdose can be fatal. Overdose symptoms of a tramadol overdose may include drowsiness, shallow breathing, slow heartbeat, extreme weakness, cold or clammy skin, feeling light-headed, fainting, or coma. Tramadol may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for.
Avatar n tn What are your current thyroid hormone levels? Be sure to post reference ranges with results, since ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own lab report. You should be getting tested periodically for TSH, Free T3 and Free T4. Do you have other symptoms of over medication, such as weight loss, diarrhea, tremors, etc. Do you have Hashimoto's?
Avatar f tn When I started I was on 125mcg Fentynal patches every 72 hours and Morphine Sulphate 30mg 1x per day. 30mg was too much for me at once so I bite it in half and take it every 12 hours unless I don't need it. I also began seeing a gentle spine care chiropractor during all this and it has changed my life! I was shocked that a "doctor" would just throw medications like Fentynal at me for years without offering me ALL possible options for recovery!
Avatar m tn I felt so much better on the Morphine that I abused it, albeit briefly. As my symptoms have gotten worse while on the opioid. So as of right now, I haven't had any Morphine in 2 weeks and the symptoms are still there and worse. So went to the GP last Monday, she diagnosed right there balance problems( I didn't know this but I can't control walking with one foot in front of the other, I wobble so bad I almost fall over.) and hyper flexia. Then sent me to get an MRI.
Avatar n tn He received 10 mg morphine in the ambulance, then 6 mg dilaudid, 4 mg zofran, and 1 mg ativan in about an hour. He weighs 190 lbs and is 6 feet tall. He suffered cardiopulmonary arrest. Could this combination of drugs have been the culprit? He received narcan and cpr and was resuscitated, thankfully. Some docs believe it was narcotic induced and others say it was a vagel down. Can you explain this?
Avatar n tn Have you had a follow up blood test to monitor your dosage change to 50mcg? It certainly sounds like hyper symptoms to me, but you should be monitored closely and tested with any dosage change. Call your doc and describe your symptoms and ask why you haven't been tested to check the effectiveness of your new dosage change. You should have been tested at 6 weeks!
Avatar f tn nausea, vomiting, sweating, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and irritability. Not all patients display early symptoms of overdose. During this phase if a patient seeks treatment they will be given charcoal that will bind to the acetaminophen in the stomach. Then doctors will pump the stomach, aiming to remove all of the acetaminophen. Likewise they might give the patient N-acetylcysteine, or NAC, which is an antidote for acetaminophen overdose and can be taken orally.

Avatar f tn Acetaminophen intoxication is more dangerous in individuals with pre-existing liver problems (Hepatitis, Liver transplant recipients, etc) and chronic alcohol abusers, whom already have liver damage. Signs and symptoms of Acetaminophen poisoning usually onset within 24 hours of taking the dose and include nausea, vomiting, abdominal tenderness.
Avatar n tn Am I kidding myself and just an addict with regular withdrawal symptoms? Is it possible to use morphine regularly and NOT be an addict. I certainly don't feel like one.
