Avatar f tn The LD50 for Water is 90g/kg. But when does nerve damage occur, if you trink too much water at once? When does it become toxic? Empirical data is also appreciated...
Avatar f tn However, Italian researchers have found that the LD50 (the lethal dose at which half of the animals die) of glucosamine sulfate is 8000 mg/kg. In humans this would be equivalent to ingesting over 500,000 mg at one time or 1,000 pills each containing 500 mg. I hope this is useful... I got the idea from the site that max safe dose is 1500mg, and your dog had twice that much. You may want to see the vet anyway, even tho it says in the previous paragraph that a lethal dose is 8000mg.
Avatar n tn my dad is 83 yrs old, has emphysema, copd everything...hes on ox, however he still struggles to breathe, won't allow anyone to go into the doctors office with him ! I know he is in stage 4, how long does that last? its been like this for a couple of years, he has difficulty even walking across the room and says that its a task to urinate. is there anything we can do as a family to make him more comfortable?
Avatar n tn opiates will make your spew, but i dont think the codeine even in high doses makes you sick, iv had 240mg of codeine before and it just makes you feel real high for a couple of hours, ulcers would be causing him pain,so im not so sure if its ulcers.HOw many is he taking at one time?
Avatar m tn This only becomes an issue if you are taking mega-doses of those vitamins and lose a lot of weight - suddenly, your body could be overdosed - there is an LD50 listing for vitamin A of 2000 mg/kg - LD = lethal dose, LD50 = 50% of the population will die at that dose, 2000 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. Anyone who tells you that herbs will not hurt you is just wrong.
Avatar m tn I know that this forum isn't adequate for my question but I am new to this site please forgive me for this. I am 17 years old, and 80 kg. My issue is I have just taken accidentally 10 grams of paracetamol aka acetaminophen I've just read that the ld50 is >250mg/kg so by this it means that the dose for me to die is 20 grams. Will I be safe for the next 24 hours because I can't seek any medical help for this time, what should I do? I am really scared.
Avatar f tn Some meds need to be separated by a short period of time. I guess these are more specifically SSRI's and MAOI's. I didn't see a major problem with the meds being taken consecutively. This should always be at the discretion of ones doctor though. I guess I neglected to emphasize the importance of only ever making medication changes after consultation with the treating physician. There are a number of factors to consider when changing meds. Withdrawal is only one.
Avatar m tn If you took some Methadone after taking Suboxone...that's why you feel so sick. Now that you've taken Suboxone, the Methadone will not work. Never take opiates when you're taking Suboxone,okay?
Avatar f tn 300 mg roxy, go cold turkey and on day three eat, walk around, converse normally, just some aches and pains. Started suboxone. but thought that took 24 to 36 hours to kick in. . . . is this on the level or is someone not really clean?
Avatar n tn Now I successfully detox my patients from opiates (eg. morphine, Oxycontin) using regulated amounts of Suboxone and also detox my patients from Suboxone addiction when that drug has been misused. I have found that the optimal time to have someone on Suboxone is between 20 and 25 days, tapering down on the medication every few days. This makes the physical symptoms of detox very manageable, without causing the patient to become cross-addicted to Suboxone.
Avatar m tn Anyway, my question is whether it would be better to taper off heroin for a few days before going on to the suboxone or just to stop and go from there. Also, does it make a difference whether you are snorting the H or shooting it when it comes to the amount of time you should wait before taking the suboxone film? I know that everyone is different, and you should wait until you are in full WD's 12-24 hrs after your last dose before taking the sub.
Avatar f tn I believe the biggest concern right now is not sex drive , but how Suboxone can affect the baby or the pregnancy. Suboxone is a class C medication meaning that it has not been shown to be safe or harmful in pregnancy. This is from the Suboxone website: Before taking SUBOXONE, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
Avatar f tn based on what i heard in your post is that .. your switching to suboxone and the doc wants you to start the suboxone having gone a full day into withdrawl..if that is the situation it makes sense reasoning being when you take suboxone ( not subutex) it conrains Nalaxone and Nalaxone will send you into full withdrawl. So this is why u must be already in w/d to take it.. i hope that helps..
Avatar n tn I took a 2mg suboxone in the am and 2mg in pm for two days to try and get off those dam roxi's. My last dose of 2mg was yesterday at 5:30pm. As I keep reading and researching about suboxone I am getting more and more afraid that I am going to have withdrawals from the suboxone(which I heard was worse). I am contiplating not taking the suboxone today and just stopping. Will I gert withdrawals from suboxone from taking it for 2 days? If so how long do you think they will last?

Avatar m tn hi, i am a suboxone user for 3 years and starting to taper down slowly. i am currently on 1mg morning and 1 mg evening. Yesterday i was prescribed tramadol by a different doctor for my pain and migraine. What i need to know is if it is OK to take tramadol while i am on suboxone? i am afraid that if i take tramadol tonight, the next morning when i dose my suboxone i will feel a very discomfort feeling or withdrawal.
Avatar f tn Hi I am at the clinic for suboxone now.
Avatar m tn I took 8mg of Suboxone and 2-3 tablets of Ultram for about 6-months. TODAY I decided that I'm going to be off this med in 2-weeks (on St Patricks Day I want to be clean). I have not been 100% in these 6-months, lazy and moody, it's time to be 100% clean of ALL drugs and start being myself again. I HAVE TO DO IT THIS TIME - SO ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!! I have the luxury of working from my house and I have a nearby gym with a sauna as I heard a good aerobic workout and sweating helps.
Avatar n tn Coming off suboxone at 4mg I know it seems like little to nothing but it is. Suboxone is very very very strong. I tried quiting cold turkey off 2mg of suboxone and went through pure he**.my current dr has me on a week to week taper dropping 1mg every week until I no longer need it and he says that is taking babysteps.
Avatar n tn the only difference with suboxone and subutex is that suboxone has a added ingredient that makes for a less potential of abuse, and overdose. suboxone is safer and a better choice i believe.
Avatar f tn After being on meth for WAY too long, and hearing the doses some people are on, then hearing what dose people on suboxone are on, I almost fell over. 200+mg of methadone, but only 12-16mg of suboxone. Like salsinator said, suboxone is very strong with a real long half-life,( somewhere around 36-37hrs), so unless you are coming off a real high dose of your DOC, and I understand that everyones metabolism is different, I would have the dr. lower the dose and see how you feel.
Avatar f tn i tried suboxone first but stopped right away because of all the side effects. It also felt stronger then vicodin to me. I am glad i did because once i found this website and starting reading about suboxone, i learned that suboxone has its own nasty withdrawal and it lasts longer then vicodin. My final quit was cold turkey and so far so good. I really think most of this in mental. Once you remove as much fear as possible, and take it a day at a time, it becomes doable.
