The ONLY differences in immediate release and extending release pain medications is the length of pain management and far less of the ups and downs of short acting pain meds. Instead of taking a pill every 4-6 hours or whatever your dosing schedule is now- you would take it twice a day or however your dr prescribed it for you.
Is Oxybutynin dangerous to dogs? I am not sure my dog ate a pill, but I did drop 1 or 2 on the floor. I found one. My 6-month-old spaniel/lab mix is about 30 lbs.
The capsules are immediate release and the pills are extended release, right? I can't take hydrocodone also. I don't want to take a more powerful drug like oxycotin or morphine, so I was hoping there was a different chemical compound in the capsules!
OxyContin is long-acting and oxycodone is immediate release. How often were you prescribed the OxyContin? Just to make sure: you were taking oxycodone 15 mg. for 3 months?
Some types of pain require a slow release with the long-acting med. Sometimes, often, you may need something for breakthrough pain, though you can also use OTC meds.
Were you not getting good pain relief with the 15 mg. of oxycodone?
1mg of oxymorphone is equal to about 2mg of oxycodone
1mg of oxycodone is equal to about .5 mg of oxymorphone
Oxycodone is half as potent, mg for mg.
So an 80mg Oxycontin would be roughly equal to a 40mg Opana ER
A 20mg Opana ER would be like a 40mg dose of Oxycontin
Converting instant release release oxycodone to Opana ER is different though. 15mg of oxycodone instant release would be, in terms of potency, roughly equivalent to 15mg of Opana ER.
Funny enough you mention this I took Oxybutynin for awhile and a bit excessively, I keep thinking that this messed up my gut and caused this curse of a phenomenon.
If you are trying to break an addiction to Oxycontin then Oxycodone may be a way to taper --- I used Oxycodone (Percocet) to taper off of high doses of Oxycontin until I got down to about half my former dose - then went to Suboxone. Sub took away the W/D's in a matter of minutes the first time I took it. It is deceitful though and can be very addictive itself. Best of luck to you as you try to break free from this demonic drug. Lots of help here - keep posting.
Can I take 2 or 3 Ibuprofen and 1 phenazoptridine 100mg and 1 oxybutynin 5mg The Dr, gave me Cipro to take 2 hrs, before I go to Drs, will this help me or not? If not what can I do to prevent the bad pain I hear about after stent removal. please help me.
IF THE OXYCONTIN time release is making u this concerned or More I sick, please, tell him now....
For immediate release with a lesser amount of time release or whatever....keep a diary for him and yourself.and your replacement doctor..
As your condition gets better, he and your orthopedic or replacement dr. can assess your pain needs better ...can look at your pain diary..
You can go down off the meds without terrrible withdrawals by his guidance .
I have been on opiats daily since November 2008 and have been on Morphine CR and immediate release since the last surgery. I want off of them and need to know how to do it. I take the CR once in AM and once in PM and have weened myself down to only 3 of the immediate release per day. Where do I go from here?
I'm 33 year old male, I was diagnosed with phimosis 2yrs ago. I've been having the constant urge to urinate but with only a low flow and sometimes spraying. I've been through testing for uti, std, bladder cancer (cystoscopy) but yet know one can give me an answer as to why I always have the urge. I've taken meds (flomax, oxybutynin, and diptromin) none of them worked. Help!!! I'm to young for this to be happening.
On Christmas Eve I stopped the OxyContin and decided to only take the oxycodone at bedtime. Once the time-release oxy cleared my system, and several hours after my last immediate release dose, I hit the wall with significant withdrawal symptoms (I was very sick). I didn't know what it was at the time... my family wanted me to go to the ER, but I didn't even want to move and the thought of riding in a car or ambulance was revolting.
What is MS Contin and what is MS/IR. They are both morphine? Does the Contin mean extended release and the IR mean immediate release. The MS/IR also has the letters IMN REO. I'm trying to find out if the MS/IR can be cut in half for tapering. Thanks to all that reply.
25, 37.5, 50, 75, and 100. Also, the extended release forms of Venlafaxine capsules come in many strengths too: 37.5, 75, and 150.
Most of the tablet forms will contain Lactose and Gluten. Some of the extended release capsules do not contain neither Gluten nor Lactose. It will help me very much, if I know the dosage form and strength. We might be able to find you a supplier that do not use Lactose and Gluten in its Venlafaxine.
Thanks and be well.
This is a good discussion to have with your doctor. Metformin, the immediate release version and Metformin, the extended release version are the exact same medication. The extended release version just doesn't have to be taken as often as it is released over time. The bid or twice a day schedule with the Metformin you currently take will work as well as the once a day extended release version. That's really the main difference.
Hello Everyone,
I am a 32 male, 5'10, 205lbs. I work out 5-6 times a week and eat on the healthier side. As far back as I can remember I get hot extremely easily and sweat profusely on my forehead, middle of my chest, and middle of my back. The heat seems to come in almost a wave, and I can feel it rising until it reaches my head(hope this description makes sense), and I can never seem to cool down. An odd part about this is, on occasion, my feet will be extremely cold at the same time.
