vicodin

Avatar f tn My Dad was recently put on oxycontin- short term- for hip pain. He is having surgery next week. My Mom called telling me that Dad was having to concentrate on his breathing, was dizzy and having problems concentrating. I told her to bring him to the hospital. I will be leaving to meet them but I thought that these were all signs of a overdose. I really haven't had these signs when I was abusing so I am not sure. Can anyone enlighten me?
Avatar n tn I don't know about an overdose, but taking more than you are supposed to can cause sleep walking, but in my case it was sleep driving. It is very dangerous and you should not play around with it. I HATE AMBIEN!!!
696149 tn?1314320959 the symptoms you describe slow pulse and trouble breathing are definitely signs of overdose. if the symtoms continue you should go to the er. make sure you take as prescribed. overdosing of subox can cause coma and death. be careful. you should stay awake now.
Avatar n tn My husband has been taking vicodin for pain for 4 years since he had a hip replacement. He has changed tremendouly, VERY negative, explosive, reads the news paper, as usual, for cover to cover and TALKS about all the bad things. He is never happy unless he's drunk. I think he has a serious problem and he doesn't. How can I help him see what he has become???????

502147 tn?1237474522 I am 7 days Vicodin free. :) But it almost killed me and I wanted to be rid of them. Last week i was admitted to the hospital because i accidentally overdosed. I was taking precription Vicodin for severe back pain. It started out as 4 X's a day innocent enough, but then you build a tolerance to it and 4 wasnt enough. I have been hooked ever since going on 2 years. Little did i know this was a downward spiral to hell for me. The pills worked great for along time I was high 24 hours a day.
Avatar f tn Can taking vicodin on a daily basis (on average 3 norco) inhibit weight loss/fat metabolism?
Avatar f tn she was diagnosed with IBS and wanted Vicodin for that stomach pain. Finally the doctors convinced her and my parents that it was not OK to use Vicodin for that as it was ruining her stomach lining. But since then, she keeps coming up with reasons to need Vicodin...first a UTI, then a kidney or bladder infection, then more menstrual troubles. And she puts herself through all these tests for these illnesses but nothing ever comes back as conclusive. I'm so worried.
Avatar n tn What are your current thyroid hormone levels? Be sure to post reference ranges with results, since ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own lab report. You should be getting tested periodically for TSH, Free T3 and Free T4. Do you have other symptoms of over medication, such as weight loss, diarrhea, tremors, etc. Do you have Hashimoto's?
Avatar n tn Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. A tramadol overdose can be fatal. Overdose symptoms of a tramadol overdose may include drowsiness, shallow breathing, slow heartbeat, extreme weakness, cold or clammy skin, feeling light-headed, fainting, or coma. Tramadol may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for.
Avatar n tn So i come back to get him, he signs release forms and i take him home. He randomly with have a hard time breathing just for a few seconds and keeps grinding his teeth, and hasnt slept all night on top of still recoverying from the drinking. He had a rather bummer ecounter regarding his ex and stuff that same night which im sure added to the total situtation.
501205 tn?1227345442 So then I started looking up more info on tylenol overdose, and started getting really horrifed. Reading that I wouldnt even have any signs until it was too late and then I would be dead. So it had been about 4 hours since my last dose, and even though I knew I had went WAY OVERBOARD, I took another 5 pills which put me at 17,500mg!!! At this point I was so convinced that I had no control over my addiction and I was going to kill myself taking these pills.

Avatar n tn what do you mean took, swallowed it, dude that's 7 grams of coke it will kill him. are you serious about this.
540924 tn?1213927379 No you did not overdose. Those 7.5's have A LOT of acetaminophen So be careful with those. I wouldn't take more than 2 per day, and not for more than a week. If your still in pain......I would see your doctor. If you can avoid these pills at all cost, please do. Or you next post will be.......I can't stop taking these pills.....it all started with my b/f getting his tooth pulled, my back was hurting I started taking them and the rest is history. Please be Very Careful.
3149845 tn?1506627771 Usually no more than 2000 mg per day Tylenol, whose active ingredient is acetaminophen, will now have a lower recommended daily dose, which is aimed at reducing the risk of accidental overdose, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a Johnson & Johnson company announced today. The recommended daily maximum for Extra Strength Tylenol 500mg tablets will go down from 8 per day to 6 per day, i.e. from 4,000mg per day to 3,000mg per day.
Avatar n tn Have you had a follow up blood test to monitor your dosage change to 50mcg? It certainly sounds like hyper symptoms to me, but you should be monitored closely and tested with any dosage change. Call your doc and describe your symptoms and ask why you haven't been tested to check the effectiveness of your new dosage change. You should have been tested at 6 weeks!
Avatar m tn I have been taking vicodin ES 750mg 90 tablets a month for the past 2 years I have chronic pain due to my bad knees. I was recently switched over to the percocet 5/325 my body was becoming tollerant to the vicodin to the point where they were not relieving the pain anymore. I had the same reaction with the percocet where I had to take 2-3 at once.
