Avatar f tn The oxy seemed to escalate quite rapidly vs increases needed when I was on hydromorph products. Which is stronger? Which is slower to build up tolerence to? Is it different for different people? I stopped taking oxy on my own, & basically brought them to the dr. & said I wasn't taking these. I had had a very very strange week of no sleeping, confusion etc. .. My husband & I figured it out to be the addition of lyrica.
Avatar m tn I used to be on hydrocodone and my doctor switched me to morphone sulfate and hydromorphone a year ago and I have become demotivated. Does this drug do this to others.
Avatar n tn I recently found myself in a position where I have no Vs and am unable to obtain any. My doc had given my Adderol for depression and for focusing so I can work. I find that when I'm going through the w/d, the adderol helps with the cravings and other w/d effects, except the sleepless nights, crazy legs and no appetite. I was doing up to 20 Vs a day for chronic back and neck pain from ruptured discs. So many of us have this problem.
537929 tn?1213722221 I was at the hospital 2 times this week for my Back, Right Butt, Leg pain, and Foot Numbness. The first visit the doctor looked over me sent me for an X-Ray perscribed me Percocet and sent me home. I didnt take any of the percocet till the following morning as i had ben given pain meds in my IV. I was shocked to find that the Percocet did nothing to help with the pain. Scaired and in pain I called the hospital and they said for me to come back in.

Now with this shortage his doctor has to switch his oxycodone. what would help as well as the oxy with out major side effects.

1337431 tn?1280955899 I recently was changed from oxycodone to hydromorphone and it has been a miracle for me. I take Oxycontin and the hydromorphone fro breakthru. Since being on the hydromorphone I have not had to take the oxycontin. There is a formula of hydromorphone that is extended release too. What dose of oxycontin were you on? Maybe the dose was too high for you. We all would love to chunk our meds and live without them but that just is not an option for us.
973849 tn?1274946979 I have had only had a few previous pain problems in my life. I have to work and have generally just taken Ibuprofen. The last two years I have had increasing pain. Pretty intense the last year. I have to keep my job and home so I still just take Ibuprofen. I found out I had very big benign tumors. I had an artery embolism to try to help. It causes great pain especially the fist night in the hospital.
910419 tn?1289483727 look into hydromorphone a bit, and if you like what you read, then ask your doctor about hydromorphone (or another opiate that can be taken daily for chronic pain, although make sure it isn't mixed with anything like acetaminophen... so no vicodin, no percocet, etc. because if it is mixed with anything like acetaminophen or another OTC medication then you will get rebound headaches.
Avatar f tn I'm taking Opana ER 10 mg and it's not on the list of approved drugs for my new RX plan. Fentanyl patches weren't effective. What's a good substitute? oxymorphone is not listed but hydromorphone is.
Avatar m tn Fentanyl is a stonger form of an opioid. Opiate and opioid mean the same thing: Opiate is an adjective while opioid is a noun. Percocet is an opioid as is fentanyl. They are synthetic which means they are man made and not derived from a plant. Good job on getting off the Percocet!
Avatar m tn In February, he prescribed, Hydromorphone XR and immediate release Hydromorphone 8mg for breakthrough pain. I did not tolerate the change well, GI upset, so was converted back to Oxycontin/Oxycodone regime. So, in June of this year, I went in for my scheduled appt. Since the beginning of 2012, random urine drug screens along with another urine test to measure if the correct amount of the prescribed narcotic level is within your urine are of routine now, expected, no less.
Avatar m tn 10 years ago started on Tylenol 3 and slowly went to Percocet, OxyContin then to morphine MS Contin and statex to dilauded and hydro morphing ER to back to oxycodone and now on fentanyl 37 mcg. My question is should I continue with the fentanyl if I'm getting relief at about a 6 out of 10 with this dose or ask my pain management doctor for breakthrough meds or to raise the patch to 50 mcg?
Avatar n tn I went to see my pain management doctor today and he dropped me as a patient because i had two positive test for hydromorphone..I havent seen my doc. for a month but it was his nurse practitioner that raised flags. I was overwhelmed because i new i had only taken what was prescribed to me by him. i had one test before these last two and it was fine. i started taking oxycotin and percocet with my norco (vicodin) and all the sudden im positive for hydromorphone.
