oxycontin

Avatar n tn That would be like chewing an oxycontin. They are time released and you could overdose.
Avatar n tn Call me crazy but I think 20mg of Xanax is a boat load in a 24 hour period!! That might kill a person who doesn't have tolerance and even one that does!! Does she drink alcohol as well? A deadly combo! The largest dose of a single Xanax is 2mg...and that's going to put most people out for a bit or get really relaxed...
Avatar f tn some would argue that as hydro is their doc...and oxycontin has no tyelonol///pers do...so oxycontin can be abused more easily..ie snorting and shooting...neither r a picnic to get off of...at 12 days u have a good bit of clean time...what were the reasons u quit 12 days ago??? they havent changed and it will take some time for ur brain to heal..u r possibly depressed and using to avoid the doomer feelings u r having...can u hang tight?
Avatar f tn Stands to reason that: 2 x 5mg Percocet = 1 x 10mg Oxycontin Don't quote me on that though. I know Percocet has both Oxymorphone AND Acetaminophen in it, and Oxycontin has Oxymorphone only. I'm not certain what the Acetaminophen brings to the table as far as drug-interactions go, but your statement that the Perc and the Oxy are the same (2x5mg vs. 1x10mg) sounds about right. Maybe someone in the Pain-Management Community would know.

Avatar f tn I need a quick answer. A friend of mine took 6 norcs and about 1 mg of my Xanax. Should I call a doctor or will he be fine? I'm very worried, he has been taking norcos for a long time now about 10 per day but he has never taken Xanax.

356518 tn?1322263642 Oxycontin and cymbalta are listed here and as these are two drugs we use in our community you should be aware that these drugs are being tested for safety.
Avatar f tn Is it posssible to overdose on Xanax ? My mother-in-law was found dead , and it is persumed that she overdosed on Xanax for which she was taken off some time ago, and had a surplus of Xanax.
Avatar m tn i am prescribed xanax 3 times a day but would i die or overdose if i took 2 ..
2991133 tn?1340046931 my doc has me on Xanax 1mg and Oxycontin 30mg. every once in a while, I will take a pain pill then shortly there after I am having an anxiety attack. will it hurt to take both of my meds close together? this doesn't happen often. when I was on Oxycontin 15mg it didn't bother me.
Avatar m tn please don't do what your thinking about. i'm sure your family loves you and will miss you very much. i've felt the way that you do at times but go on and hope that tomorrow will be better. my brother in law is bi-polar and has planned his death a couple of times. he's been properly diagnosed and is on the right meds now, he's a pretty happy person and never talks about suicide anymore. what treatment are you getting, are you taking anything other than xanax?
Avatar f tn If you are really wanting to get off of them for good, you found a great forum. There are some wonderful and amazing people on here that will not judge, just give you advice and encouragement. Since you are tapering the first thing I would do is start taking them orally. Snorting can be so much more addicting. You never know when you could actually od so you should stop right away. Please stick around this forum and post your story. We will help you beat your addiction.
Avatar n tn At least calla pharmacy and ask it there are any counter drugs u can take suck as a small dose of Xanax or something in that family.yo ima tell u this. Not that I'm proud of it trust me. But Iv done it all weed,abused xanax,Booz ,beans(extacy) coke , sad to say but even opioids like OC,hydrocodone ,ext. let me say this Iv taken adderall and other add med sence like 5-7 years old I currently been take adderall for the last 3 month. Please believe me man plz.
Avatar n tn I have been using narcotic painkillers off and on since about 12th grade. (I am now 22). I was clean from Feb 2005- August 2006. In the past 6 months I have been taking about 5-6 10mg percocets everyday. Within the past month I have been either doing that or snorting ATLEAST 1 80mg oxycontin a day. My friends finally found out about my "double life" and this gave me a strong incentive to quit. I havent touched any opiates in about 48 hours...
689327 tn?1240229164 some tests have shown that grapefruit and its juices can inhibit certain enzymes in the stomach which help to metabolize xanax and therefor can lead to uncertain amounts of the drug in the blood, specifically plasma.
Avatar f tn My 17 year old son died of an accidental drug (Oxycontin and Xanax) overdose. Under other conditions listed (in the report stating the conclusion of the final cause of death) is Cardiomegaly. Is Cardiomegaly caused by drug abuse/overdose itself? Does Cardiomegaly happen right away (within 12 hours) as strictly being caused by the overdose or over a period of time (getting worse and affecting one as a disease might)?
Avatar n tn i couldnt exactly tell if it was methadone youare on for pain or other painkillers, but assuming its methadone you are on for pain its definitely going to be hard to get off of, it is a very effective pain killer and long alsting, and prduces less of a rush or euphoria than heroin and toehr strong opiates, but it is very addicting and can be lethal.- i am on it for a bad addiction to heroin and oxycontin(snorted) and its a great treatment option for me, but its def. addicting too.
Avatar f tn They can’t prescribe Xanax but they have other anxiety medications that are able to be taken with your opioids that are just as good. You need to talk to whoever prescribed you Xanax and ask them about other Anxiety or Depression meds that can be taken with your opioids that are legal to take with them!
699217 tn?1323438700 I believe that oxycodone is the generic name for Roxicodone, which is also obviously percocet without the tylenol. Oxycontin and oxycodone are the same thing, EXCEPT oxycodone is a quick release tablet, and oxycontin is a slow release of the same med. Hydrocodone is the ingredient in Vicodin and Lortab. Although they are all narcotics, vicodin and lortab are lesser strength than the oxy's and morphine.
Avatar m tn I have a friend that has spinal cancer and is on 10mg Oxycontin 8 times a day and 40mg morphine 6 times a day. Due to his illness I want to make sure that when I count his pills that he will not take to much. I would like to know if anyone knows what the fatal amount of 10mg Oxycontin would be fatal. Thank you for your help.
Avatar f tn Pot is the only thing u cant overdose and die on out of what u listed(u can overdose on too many of any pill and alcohol can be deadly as well).U stated the family member was taking pain meds too.Yes all those meds and presciption pain killers also topped off with alcohol can cause death.
Avatar n tn how much seroquel, xanax, and alcohol causes an overdose. im qworried about my sister, she ha been prescribed xanax for 8 years now at 2mg a day, so her tolerance is well established. she is also an alcoholic. thankfully, she knows not to combine xanax while drinking, but what about the addition of seroquel? could she OD from the pill combination alone? would then the addition of alcohol just pretty much seal her fate?
Avatar m tn Recently I read that if you take more than 40 mg of OxyContin at one time then it can cause death or permanent brain damage. Well when I was ages 14 and 16 I took one of my mom's 80 mg OxyContin pill and I remember I felt like throwing up for like 16 hours straight. I took it in the evening, went to bed, and woke up the next day still very nauseous. I started to feel completely fine about 20 hours after I took it.
Avatar f tn Went to my appt, yesterday now their saying I have to go off my xanax, I have severe anxiety, and panic attacks!! Said there is too many overdose deaths, so I have to be punished?! Anyone else take xanax with pain medication, I can't believe it! Time to find a new doctor! I was told next appt, I either get pain medicine or my xanax, I need both...
Avatar f tn I really think you should be honest with your doctor now and you might also mention to your pain management doctor that you have a problem so he doesn't continue to give you narcotics or this problem will continue. My mother went to PM and the very first visit he gave her 280 10 mg Vicodin and it's been less then 5 months now and she also has a problem.
