Common Questions and Answers about Hydrocodone overdose treatment

vicodin

Avatar m tn I would say its more likely he would need to go to the hospital for APAP toxicity than hydrocodone overdose. APAP (tylenol) is mixed with the hydrocodone and is not good for the liver in high doses. Just tell him not to go crazy and make sure he doesn't mix with alcohol or other drugs (besides weed), and he should remain alive. Might end up with a wicked addiction though!
Avatar n tn This cough syrup combines an anti-histamine (chlorpheniramine) with a codeine-like cough suppressant called hydrocodone. Tussionex stops coughing well, but it carries a risk of potential side effects, including drowsiness, constipation, lightheadedness, and vomiting. The hydrocodone component is also an addictive medication and should be used with caution.
Avatar n tn I already get 90 hydrocodone a month. I will go to a pain management clinic and pay for 90 more hydrocodone a month soon. I already told my primary care doctor I run out early but he said he could only write me 90 a month. I will pay for the other 90 myself without my insurance company acknowledgement.
Avatar f tn Xanax , in combination with opiates/opioids contributes to huge numbers resulting overdose deaths. Both types of medications can cause respiratory suppression, and using them both together compounds the effects. Most PM doctors want any and all scheduled medications prescribed by one office, making it easier to track usage, fills, and compliance.
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 can harm your liver, but only in overdose quantities. The narcotics in the pain meds, like hydrocodone, codeine, and others are usually not harmful to the liver. The thing the docs worry about is the potential for abuse and/or addiction. The abuse could easily lead to the overdose (on the acetaminophen) which is very dangerous, as Hector points out. I asked my new doc for some Lortab, which I have found very helpful for the aches of TX along with increased frequency of migraine headaches.
Avatar f 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 Cymbalta (60 MG), Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen (5-500 MG), Ibuprofen (800 MG), Mobic (15 MG), Oxycodone-Acetaminophen (5-500 MG), Plaquenil (200 MG), Xanax (0.5 MG).

Avatar m tn If its hydrocodone it will be stated as a xx(hydrocodone) - xx (apap/asprin). Doses of tylenol ranged from 325/500/750 and asprin i'm not sure (Assume only 200mg but I have no clue.They come in liquid suspension and tablet form and rarley without a tylenol/asprin additive. I'm taking percocet which is a whole different Active ingrediant. From my experience a lot more dangerous than hydrocodone. Its approx. 1.5x stronger than lortab in analgesia terms.
Avatar f tn Talk to your doctor about the hydrocodone use and ask his advice for tapering off. Three months is a long time to be on hydrocodone, your femur should be feeling better by now.
612876 tn?1355514495 The stronger ones such as hydrocodone are schuduled more wisley than these in my opinion. Having them seem less effective therefore some may think they can take more of it to control their pain.
229538 tn?1300377767 Jimmy WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal health advisers want new restrictions on hydrocodone, the highly addictive painkiller that has grown into the most widely prescribed drug in the U.S. 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.
699217 tn?1323438700 I wanted to know what the difference is between hydrocodone and like-oxycontin or oxycodone, Percocet, tramadol, is this all just types of hydrocodone? All I ever took was hydrocodone....
Avatar m tn I have taken a 1-milligram Xanax bar, 5mg hydrocodone/acetaminophen, and I'm drinking Moscato how much can I drink without an overdose
403399 tn?1201833095 With tramadol it is not necessary to go onto a medical treatment program such as Methadone or Suboxone, I dont even recommend that for hydrocodone addiction. Both of those treatment drugs are way stronger than both Tramadol and Hydrocodone by so many degrees. That would only further the addiction and switch to something way way stronger.
Avatar f tn I haf surgery a couple weeks ago and was on morphine and hydrocodone. Also, I was prescribed hydrocodone. A doctor wouldn't prescribe you something that could harm your baby. My baby is perfectly fine and healthy! Don't fret!
1316076 tn?1274155718 Had a friend do the rapid detox method. He was discharged in only 8 days. Six months later, dead from a heroin overdose in a homeless shelter. Some of us make it only because of what it takes to quit. Take that out of the equation and I think you have a higher change to relapse if you don't have some king of aftercare. IMHO.
Avatar f tn I found that hydrocodone could "get me by" for a few days when I ran out of ultram. I still did not feel good. I would call your doctor and explain what it happening. If he is smart he will figure out what to do. Some doctors still are not aware of how addictive and dangerous tramadol/ultram is, so he may need to get up to speed on the current research.
Avatar m tn I'm 59 and have been taking hydrocodone for 3 years. I lost my son from an overdose od oxicotin a year ago. I am seeing a new doctor and he will not prescribe hydrocodone for me. I have been without pain meds for 5 days. I am restless and my body aches very badly. How long does it take to detox. I am also a diabetic and have.
Avatar f tn I do not like to take Tylenol. (It causes quite a controversy here when I state what I take for pain,Z but here it goes.) I take aspirin. If I need something stronger (like when I had shoulder surgery last summer) I take Hydrocodone + aspirin. There are pills containing hydrocodone & aspirin just like Vicodin contain hydrocodone & tylenol.
Avatar m tn Hi. I've been on these boards a long time. My last failed treatment had to fail because about 9 weeks into the treatment, I developed retinal hemmorhaging. My husband (we've divorced now, but not because of this). He had to do my shot that night into the back of the forearm because I felt so awful. As he prepared the medication, I had to keep correcting what he was doing.
