Oxycodone and codeine together

Common Questions and Answers about Oxycodone and codeine together

oxycontin

Avatar f tn THey are both way stronger than codcamol (which is panadol and codeine) and neurofen (which is ibuprofen) Codcamol and neurofen are both avail over the counter at the chemist but you should only be able to get oxycodone or hydrocodone on prescription from a doctor.. Let me know if I have this wrong tho...
Avatar n tn However his drug of choice is probably percocet (oxycodone). Codeine is not nearly as strong as oxycodone and I assume his PCP is aware of his problems with oxycodone. Indeed it would take many codeine to compare to one oxycodone. His PCP may have prescribed him only enough for several days. If his physician felt he required the drug for pain he may be cutting him some slack. I have a friend that can handle hydrocodone without a problem but he can't handle percocet.
Avatar m tn I was recently dismissed from my PM prescriber due to morphine showing up in my urine (they send it to a lab). In addition to my prescribed oxycodone and alprazolam, my UA showed positive for morphine, but not codeine. The codeine cough syrup was not prescription, you just have to show ID and sign for it. I had the flue with a hacking, unproductive cough, so I drank the entire bottle during the course of a couple of days.
Avatar m tn has anyone used over the counter codeine during withdrawal from oxycodone? Does it work or does it only prolong the withdrawal process.
10913038 tn?1424227711 So I have severe back pain and my dr. Has prescribed me a low dose of oxycododone, 5 mg to be exact. He says its safe to take during pregnancy and while Breastfeeding as long as its taken as needed and not regularly but im hesitant to put any narcotic in my body while pregnant. I'm sitting here in agony with a pill in my hand debating whether or not to take it. Has anyone else taken it during pregnancy and had any issues related to it?
Avatar n tn Heroin breaks down into codeine and morphine. Codeine breaks down into morphine. The opiate drug tests look for codeine, morphine, and 6-acetyl-morphine. The presence of 6-acetyl-morphine is relatively conclusive of recent heroin use, but is only detectable for a few hours after use. The presence of codeine can be the result of either heroin or codeine use. The presence of morphine can be the result of the use of heroin, codeine, or morphine.
Avatar m tn My wife, who takes morphine sulfate ER and oxycodone IR for chronic pain. She does a urine test every month. For the first time in several years, 10+, her results showed a positive result for codeine, 107 ng/mL. I found an article that said a small amount of codeine may show up in patients taking high doses of morphine due to possible impurities in manufacturing. Is this correct? Has anyone else run in to this??
Avatar f tn I wonder if a semi synthetic pill like oxycodone, instead of codeine and morphine would be a better euphoriant for the dysphoria I feel inside from hurting piercings. Also I wonder if the poppy seed tea is adding to the hemorrhaging because of excess body fluids being pressurized into my body for later expelling. I bet a semi synthetic like oxycodone would be the best, maybe oxymorphone? Maybe if I make the poppy seed tea into a resin to take as a pill, that might help.
Avatar n tn Why is it that a Doc. can call in a refill for an hydocodone or codeine script. And cannot call in one for percadan/oxycodone ?
5769649 tn?1373931353 , also are you saying that you are taking oxycodone AND Tylenol 4? Because in one part you said you did and then a bit later you said you didn't, I'm not judging at all, just need some clarification to give you better advice. But regardless, depending on the test that is given, yes Tylenol 4 will show differently than oxycodone, and lortabs, because while they are all similar, oxycodone is oxycodone, lortabs are hydrocodone and Tylenol 4 is codeine.
Avatar n tn Tylenol 3 is a Schedule III and Percocet is a Schedule II
Avatar f tn A look at an opiate milliequivalency scale would be needed or people experiment. And by the way Oxycodone is Percocet is Percodan is Roxicet, is Oxycontin (Oxycodone with continuous action for 12 hours).
Avatar f tn taking it will not make you go into withdrawal at all it just simply will not work if you have a tolerance to a stronger med because codeine is an opiate just like hydrocodone or oxycodone it is just a lot weeker of an opiate than the others ABritt
537731 tn?1268265286 You should not take the Talwin and oxycodone together. Did the same doctor prescibe both of these medications because the talwin will as you say send you into withdrawel from the oxycodone. It is my belief that these two drugs are NOT to be taken together. In my pamplet from my doctors office it clearly says do not take Talwin or drugs in that class when taking oxycodone.
Avatar f tn Thebaine is a compond of the poppy plant that actually increases energy and mental alertness. Versus the other opiates, codeine and morphine, have sedative properties. Since you will be taking oxycodone in the short term, I would try to sleep whenever you can even if it is not through the night. If you wake up in the middle of the night, leave the bedroom and go read a book or magazine.
7608252 tn?1392564364 he prescribed me suboxone strips and Fiorinal with Codeine for my severe migraine disorder that is exasperated by withdrawal symptoms, and sent me on my way with instructions to take my sub. on Sat. or Sun. I began to experience severe migraine symptoms later that evening... and took a total of 3 Fiorinal with Codeine pills ... I am not experiencing severe withdrawal yet on Sunday... but mild to medium .When can I take my sub. I am terrified of the withdrawal that I have read sub. can cause...
Avatar n tn did your doctor RX it to you? You may try googling it or someone who knows about codeine and pregnancy may come along...I never was rx'd it while I was pregnant. If you are pregnant I strongly suggest you don't use any drugs that are no RX'd to you by your OB/GYN. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Is this the person you trust to be there when you are sick and old? And why do you think weed should be a substitute and an excuse? When he is ready to write to me and ask me to get off all drugs forever, have him look at my clinic website www.mdsdrugdetox.com. When he is ready to do that, he should be the one writing me, not you. You deserve better than that. Good luck to you , girl.
Avatar f tn Sorry to confuse - I can take the co-codamol which is 8mg of codeine phosphate and 500mg of paracetamol (side effects managable) but the 30mg of codeine phosphate with 500mg of paracetamol causes bad side effects, similarly 30mg of straight codeine phosphate causes bad side effects. Added complication is that I also need to be able to function well enough to drive and work.
Avatar f tn If I was to take oxycodone then hydrocodone and went to take a drug test will I fail for the same thing or two different drugs?
Avatar m tn 180mg is not that much so don't psych yourself out. I used to take 1200mg of DHC which is a whole lot stronger and when I ran out of that would take around 700mg of codeine in one sitting and sometimes try to redoes because I didn't feel it much. You are already on the board so I am sure you have read horror stories, but believe me when I say a lot of the withdrawal is mental and how bad you want to make it on yourself.
Avatar f tn What I have been doing is I have been taking tyl. #3 up to 6 a day instead of the oxycodone, and I still get withdrawls but I am doing my best to ween off of the pills all together. What can happen to my baby while i'm taking pills? I have read everything from the baby being addicted if you take pain pills the last few mths. of the pregnancy, I have read that the newborn could have birth defects, down syndrome, ADHD, and mental retardation.
Avatar n tn How long did you take the codeine, and were you taking a high dose? If it was high and long term, the w/d can get pretty Is this your first time trying to quit? What made you decide you want to quit? What are those mental symptoms you are talking about?
Avatar m tn hate codeine never taking it again , and thanks for the remark Annibelle ~! and i will keep you posted .
Avatar f tn hi lola, having been in your position before i would advise you to find another doctor or medication. I suffer from Major Clinical Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorder and Chronic Pain. I was initially prescribed SSRI based Anti-Depressants for my Depression and Tramadol 200SR for my pain. The SSRI medication "Ecitalopram" i was told would take 5 weeks to kick in. In that time i developed serious side effects and instead of taking me off this medication my doctor threw more pills at me.
Avatar f tn Nurofen contains ibuprofen, and the 'plus' is codeine. Codeine is converted to morphine in the liver (to varying degrees in different cultural populations), so from a practical standpoint there is no difference between an addiction to nurophen vs any other opiate, such as oxycodone or heroin.
