Plzzzzzzzzz all who are on it plzzzzzzz advise! Thank you so much. PS. I am sick of all the pills!
Avatar f tn I am wondering if the morphine is out of my system yet? If not, its the detox off morphine worse than the detox off lortab? I have detoxed off lortab before but am wondering about the mixture. I am praying I will be able to stay sober this time for the long haul. I have enrolled in an intensive outpatient program and have been going to AA regularly and have let all my people in on what I have been doing so I can be accountable to people.
Avatar n tn can Norco 1000 show up as morphine in a urinalysis drug test performed 2 weeks from injury on job?
Avatar f tn I have completely stopped the morphine and dilauded I now have weaned the lortab down to 3 tabs per day and I have 3 tabs left. I already feel like my ears are stopped up, headache, body aches and I am so exhausted. I feel so miserable. I am supposed to start a new job this week and I am scared. Please if someone has any idea how many days this misery will last and if I have any advise to make this detox faster and better please help. I have to and want to quit.
Avatar n tn I am trying to find out how long lortab stays in the system, and would in possibly show up on a drug test after two days of taking? I have a family member who became addicted while fighting cancer, she has not taken any in a few months until a couple of days ago. She had to take a random drug test in court today, and stands to lose her 3 children if she fails it. I was trying to find out the answer to this question to put our family at ease. Thank You.
Avatar m tn I take 300mgs of MS Contin and 60mgs oxycodone,if I were to switch to Hydrocodone 60mgs or Lortab would that work?Any suggestions would help,I find the dose I am on now is not as affective,but I don't want to go any higher.
Avatar f tn I also became addicted to stronger drugs like morphine and dilaudid. I completely stopped the morphine and dilaudid 2 months ago with no relapses or slip ups. I have not been able to stop the lortab. I have weaned them down to 3 tablets per day. I used to take about 10-12 per day in addition to other meds. I have my husband holding the meds for me with the intention to wean off of them. I have 3 tablets left and I am supposed to start a new job in 5 days.
Avatar f tn First, is your son taking the lortab as prescribed and ONLY as prescribed? If so, that's not addiction. It's physical dependence which is a normal result of opiate therapy. If he is misusing it by taking more than prescribed, running out early, supplementing with street drugs or taking them with alcohol to get a better buzz then he has a problem. True addiction is more of a mental problem even though there are physical aspects to it as well.
210982 tn?1280983895 Yes, Morphine IS stronger than Percocet by far.
210982 tn?1280983895 Maybe you could just stop the morphine all together and just use the percocet. Morphine is more addictive and harder to wd from. Good luck.
Avatar m tn at least the lortab make my pain tolerable. maybe i was not clear enough. my concern is that the low level of morphine i expect him to start me out with will not be affective. if i have to call to address this or even bear through the pain till my next appointment to tell him i will be looked at like i am just trying to get more to get high when that is not the case at all. if it controls my pain i will be fine with it. i also have the concern of tolerance to yet another pain medication.
Avatar f tn Doing really good on lyrica so hopefully will hold so i can get off morphine, i have been down to 30mg now for 4 days and dont feel any signs of withdrawals i went from 60mg .
Avatar f tn I'm 5 weeks and need to know what I can take for pain. Lortab methadone what?
Avatar n tn As for my question, before yesterday I had been taking lortab and percocet for pain, yesterday I was prescribed an extended release morphine and lortab for breakthrough pain. I took the first tablet this morning and I like I am slow, mentally. Is this normal and will it last while I am on this medication? It is not to the point to where I cannot perform my job or drive, etc., but I feel like I just woke up.
Avatar m tn in Nashville, Tn. and I never expected to be allowed to hurt that much. They gave me soma and lortab post-surg in the hospital, unbelievable. One compassionate nurse did see me and gave me a morphine hip-shot, but that was it. Anyway, I'm dazed and confuzed and have to keep working, I'm only 59, divorced and trying to keep my home, but it's a ridiculously miserable way to live.
1529480 tn?1291877134 My doctor prescribed me 90 15mg morphine sulf ER for a month then I went up to 90 30mg morphine sulf ER. I also was getting 60 5/325 percocets for breakthru pain. I left that doctor to completely get off of the pain killers. I recently went back because I need them due to more pain. He gave me 120 5/325 percs for the first month, then he told me he wanted me directly back on the morphine. I almost cried because I do not want on the morphine.
Avatar m tn I was on morphine SR 60mg twice a day for years and my doctor switched me to fentanyl 25 patch. I ended up with severe withdrawal and went back to the morphine for a week until my next appt where he put me on the 50 patch. Still I am going through withdrawals. My pharmacist says I can't be but I know 100% that's what is happening. Anyone else deal with this?
709686 tn?1277432159 While in ER they gave me several shots of Dilauded and Morphine and continued to receive the shots about every 6 hours for two days. My history is I do see a pain mgmt doctor and take approx. 30-40mgs of Lortab a day for the past 3 years. I discontinued the morphine shots on Thursday but they have been giving me 7.5mg Lortab when requested. I've only been taking 3-4 of those a day. On Friday I began to get the cold sweats and pounding heart beat and today they come and go.

Avatar n tn I am comming off morphine sulfate - I still have 30 pills left - 20 of the 15mg IR and 10 of the 30mg ER - I just want to be off this drug and the withdrawals are more than I can stand. I have been taking them for almost 2 yrs now and want to stop. I am looking for any advice to help me with deal with withdrawals.
Avatar m tn As far as helping your liver in other ways, you know the answer to one way---by stopping your Lortab intake. Lortab is for moderate to severe body pain only, NOT for mental/emotional/psychic pain or for getting high for funsies. Be honest with yourself why you are taking them. You have indeed damaged your liver, but it will try to heal itself IF you stop those pills immediately. At the very least, you must go off them completely for 4-6 months to give your liver a fighting chance at repair.
Avatar n tn Vicodin/Lortab/Hydrocodone-2.5 mg, 5mg 7.5 mg,(ES) 10 mg, they come with 500-750 mg of Acetem. Norco(=vicoden/hydrocodone too) 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, they usually come with 250 mg acetem.(Tylenol) Percocet/Percodan (Oxycodone) 5mg, 10mg anywhere from 250-750 mg (tylenol) Oxycontin usually comes in 10, 20,60,80 mg and typically doesn't have any tylenol. Morphine comes is pill form as well as intravenous for severe pain.
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.
