does hydrocodone have morphine in it

no, hydrocodone is vicodin. Morphine sulfate is the active ingredient in morphine. If you are worried about a possible reaction to the medication, I would speak to your local pharmacists. I'm not sure if hydrocodone and morphine are in the same family of drugs. I know vicodin and percocet are in a similar family (due to codine), but morphine is much different. refer to this website. http://www.rxlist.com/duramorph-drug.

1/2 of wd is mental and if you have a positive attitude stay busy it is doable.. The Morphine did not help you in your wd. if anything it just dug you deeper. The morphine is timed released so you still had enough in your blood stream. You will find yourself in this position over and over again until you get honest with your Dr. and cancel any refills you may have at the pharmacy.. Life is much sweeter when we are not chained to a pill to function.. Take care.

Does anyone know if there is a reliable home drug test that can detect hydrocodone?

Have you tried taking bread thru pain meds for your pain when the Morphine is not enough? I have had to add Oxycodone IR in between the times I take Morphine. It does not take my pain away, but it does help some. My PM doctor also is very conservative. Anytime I weaned off meds I was given Xanax for a week. It sounds like you are weaning down too fast. Anytime I tapered down I did not have wd's until I stopped taking them or was at a very low dose after tapering slowly.

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.

Does someone have a recipe to withdraw from Hydrocodone?? thanks for your help......

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.

I'm still not sure of the exact difference in the oxy and hydro. Years ago when I started to PM my PC was giving me the hydro, and because I was not getting the best relief on the hydro, they started me off on Percocet and I understood that it was stronger, They had to take it out of a locked box at the pharmacy and all that, so I thought I would finally get some relief, but low and behold, it barely did anything, and caused me to itch, so they changed me back to hydro.

Then when I was released I was put on oxycodone, and then lowered down to hydrocodone. It is now June 27 2010 and I have been off the meds for 3 days. Keep in mind that I have been on hydrocodone for a little over a year until I had the surgery. So 3 days without the meds..... I have diarrhea atleast 10 times a day. I can not sleep. For the first 2 nights, i actually didnt. I am very depressed.

I did test positive for oxycodone once, but insisted on a retest and it came back just the hydrocodone in my system.

morphine sounds scary but in reality is safer than lortab or hydro//a smidge is even a smidege/stronger mg per mg...but morphine as a rule does not produce the nrg buzz hydro does...

I have chronic back pain due to injuries and I normally resist pills but when it's really bad I'm gonna take them and a muscle relaxer. The doctor said it shouldn't interfere but I have run into discrepancies in the past and so I'm looking for a second opinion.

Ok I know that hydrocodone has acetaminophen in it and hydromorphyn doesn't. My question really is when is it more beneficial for hydromorphyn to be used for chronic pain over hydrocodone?

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.

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. The cut-off is the concentration at which a target drug is determined to be present and detected (true positive) or absent, not detected (true negative).

s KNOW how addicting these pain meds are so for him to even suggest you just stop like that is ridiculous. In fact I am on a taper plan to get off Hydrocodone through a Pain Managment Dr and it even says in my contract the warnings of trying to just stop pain meds cold turkey (withdrawls) and suggests if you want off them to seek guidance from the Dr. Try talking to him about it and if he still won't help you ditch him and get another Dr ASAP!

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...

Me personally I like the morphine pump better than the fentanyl patch, I was on the patch for over 7 years and went to the pump. You don't need as much medication with the pump and your body feels much better. I had a pump for 13 years, the last one I had malfunctioned after 4 years and I had to have it replaced. I got an infection after the new pump was put in and they had to remove it, it's been out for almost a year now and I hate taking the oral morphine and diladid 24/7.

MadMan, of course i plan to talk to him about it more then what i already have but he asked me to think about it and research it more so that is what i am doing. as i said previously he is a new dr so no he really doesnt know my history well. my previous pm doctor was easy to talk to but this one has no raport with me yet. its like your girlfriend breaking up with you and you just started seeing someone new. im just not sure what to expect and feel uncomfortable with him.

The problem is I have pain on my right side just at the bottom of rib cage which radiates into my back. I have blood in my urine. The pain is intense without medication. People that I have spoken to have all said it sounds like kidney stones. But after xrays,ct scans it has shown no stones but a cyst that is growing. Could this be the cause of my pain as my consultant says that the cyst cannot be the cause of pain. I have been on morphine now for 4yrs. Can anyone help pls.

Hi, i read your advice on taking clonidine for withdrawals. I have 1 mg. clonidine and am going thru withdrawals. How many should i take thru the day and night? I do not have low blood pressure. Also, i am on morphine 30 mg. and hydrocodone 10mg. I take 3x's a day.

This keeps you w/the same medication but gives you that extra boost for times in need. If you only take it for breakthrough pain and have exhausted other alternatives your tolerance will still build, but not as quickly as if you are taking it to get the high feeling.

It does sound like it could be withdraw symptoms. Usually withdraw last about 7 days. The worst days are days 3-4. Just let him know that things will get better. Luckily he was not on the meds for very long so his withdraw will not be as severe as other peoples on here. He should be fine in no time.

I saw a mint green pill that is W503. Does it and is it the same amount of hydrocodone as other lortabs that are pink and purple? Just making sure.

And if this is a morphine type medication it will not work for me. I have been perscribed morphine before and it NEVER worked. I took the whole bottle back to my doctors office and told them they could have it! How are you Tuck? How is your pain level, life etc.
