Avatar f tn My pain management doctor scared the crap out of me when he gave me narcon in case I overdose. I want to take 60mg of morphine to see if it will work but I am so scared. Also, when I do not take the morphine on time I start going through withdrawal. Please help in pain and scared also, I recently tried herion which did nothing but keep me up all night.
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 n tn If you google kadian it will give you drug information and included in that info is what to do in the event of an overdose and what things to look for to determine if it is indeed an overdose. Don't mess around here - and call 911 if he doesn't look right. Now is not the time to second guess the situation. Good luck to you.
Avatar n tn I have someone close to me that was just just in the hospital and was put on fentanyl, only in the hospital though. I have heard how strong this is and was wondering how bad that would be for an addict, even if it was just one day? I don't know about these drugs much and was wondering how safe it is? I have read it's 80 times more stronger than morphine and that seems crazy.
786047 tn?1239233100 I think that advil works the best for the ones that don't go over a 6/10 pain level BUT i think that advil also causes terrible rebound headaches so I have completely stopped taking it 'cept for very rarely when I am sure that I have an inflamed muscle or something like that or for a fever. As for 9/10 10/10 pain, I think that hydromorphone works the best. It is better than morphine because it doesn't make you feel sick. I wouldn't suggest a high dose.
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 She was given morphine a burn unit at children's hospital the nurse gave her a Qe yr olds dose. She's 23 now and has had drug problems with pain killers as a teen she just kept doing outlandish things for a rush and even has asked herself why she keeps doing things even tho it gets her in trouble.
Avatar m tn can you take percet with morphine sulfate er 30mg? in other words can you mix the two together?
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 n tn we told them why he was having them but they gave it to him anyway with out his or our permission....they had to give him 3 shots of morphine at the hospital to get him calmed down he was in so much pain....is there any long term side effects that might come up because of this....if there is a site to go to please send me the site....one other question...could this have killed or hurt him seriously.....
Avatar n tn 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? HOw long does it stay in the babies system, (a 4 month old that weighs about 16 lbs) There is a case out thats concerning about codeine turning into morphine and becoming toxic to a newborn, the mother has to have the rare gene. I would like to know symptoms, and how much of the medication through breastmilk is fatal?
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 f tn I was abusing them,and not for the first time. It has been a living hell. I wound up at the hospital after my husband called 911 because I took an overdose of different meds that didn't put me dowm., I tried to slash my wrist as was abusive with the cops, my husband and the paramedic as once I was to the hospital was given a shot of morphine to control the tremors, l now see my doctor on Thursday and don't know what the hell to tell him. I don't want those powerful drugs anymore.
237039 tn?1264258057 I was given Morphine to ease the pain after a difficult stenting procedure, and immediately developed body-covering hives, couldn't get my breath and the blood vessel used for the IV shut down. I was given a drug immediately to neutralize the condition. Since then, I'm given a bracelet when in the hospital to warn against it's use, and I wear a MedAlert necklace. You seem very alert to your symptoms, and I'd consider at least discussing the need to eliminate it's use.
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.
740917 tn?1268247536 He/she may advise you to take an extra dose or may send you the ER or may tell you to keep your dose as is and come in for futher treatment options. Morphine is very potent as you know and you can overdose easily. Even by increasing the dose by taking it sooner than your suppossed to can cause overdose and breathing problems as it slows your respiratory system down dramatically when taken too early.
Avatar f tn I have just started takeing care of my mother in law who is in stage 4 breast cancer and her dr gave her Morphine SO4 IR 15mg one tablet every 3 hours and Morphine SO4 ER 30ENDO one tablet every 12 hours and I am confused on how to give them to her, she says I can give them to her at the same time and I am worried about it causing an overdose and I am having a hard time reaching her dr for instruction on how to give it to her, do i give her one first and then wait a few hours to give the other
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 f tn My neurosurgeon said that a person can develop tolerance with long-term use of a pump because the amount of morphine would have to increase as the pain increases, just like it does with oral pain meds. Has anyone had this experience? What did you or your doctor do? Question 2 WITHDRAWAL My same neurosurgeon said that if the pump broke releasing the morphine inside, a person would go into severe witihdrawal. Has this happened to anyone? I would think that overdose would be more likely...
Avatar m tn Thanks, but I'm afraid you've taken this the wrong way. I'm here to see if I need to take more, if I'm just going to be in agony for the next couple of hours, or if I just screwed up my stomach for nothing. Reasons as to why I did this--- I was already depressed at 13. I'm bulimic, have a firm belief that the world isn't worth living for, anxietic, and get major mood swings. Please don't start on religion.
603838 tn?1238534975 She was in respiratory arrest and flown to a better hospital in the neighboring state. They are still doing tests to check for blood clots or anything like that, but so far they think it was an accidental overdose on methadone. The MRI's and CT scans have shown 6 areas of brain damage (3 on each side) one each in the frontal, middle, and rear... She has since awoken from the "coma" and been removed off the ventilator (all in about 4 days).
Avatar f tn I had pain meds and my baby came out fine he was alert and there's no risk of overdose for the baby. And the pain med didn't go in my iv they gave me a shot in my hip. It took the edge off but I still felt everything. I opted not to have an epidural didn't want to have a needle in my spine as well heard a lot of horror stories from women that had them.
Avatar f tn It scares me how people can shot unsterile-unclean items right into thier veins, it is as dangerous as injecting morphine when not in the hospital under care from a doc!
Avatar n tn Sometimes a condom will rupture in their stomach or GI tract. They die from an overdose.
