Hydromorph Contin Cr 30mg

Updated

Hello, my son was prescribed this medication and because he has been a drug abuser in the past I'm wondering if this medication can be injected. Originally it comes in a large red capsule that contains time released granules. Can anyone please tell me if he will be able to inject this medication as injection is his method of choice? Thank you in advance. Worried....

yes he could very well inject this medication. 1 pill would last him about 2 days depending how much he uses. he could die without them if addicted to them and may bnever get off. I reccomend methadone.

Yes, that is correct, drug abusers can find a way to inject almost anything, by dissolving the tablets or contents of capsules in water or other liquid and then injecting it.

This is dangerous, not just because of overdose, but because it can also put substances into the body that weren't intended to be broken down and used by the body, they are normally expelled as waste.

Has he received treatment for his drug abuse, at all?

I am currently prescribed hydro-morph contin, I've been on them for about 2 years or so, Well my main concern is that my tolerance to them keeps increasing every three to six months. So my question is, Is there a product or another medication to intensify, well not intensify but to make the Rx that I am currently on more potent. this is so that my tolerance would be the same, or at least shorten the duration on which I would have to adjust my dosage, to keep the same dosage longer than it is now? Thank you all in advance for any advice or answers to the questions I'm seeking

12 mg wasn't enough, SWIM used to take 60mg contin, now SWIM take 30 mg contin b.I.d... Snorting 12 mg QR usually helped SWIM with the pain, post amputation... But SWIM tried IV 12mg and was left wanting more.. How much should SWIM do IV for effect?? How long should SWIM wait to try again?

yes, unfortunatley for you, your son can definitely inject this type of medication. Also to let you know it is very easy to do this, but to my knowledge this type of medication, if abused by I.V'ing these are the safest to do so, because if done right the fillers and stuff are not injected just the narcotic part,

Just from my past experiences with oxycontin. I think taking maybe 12mg to 15mg of hydromorph contin three times daily or as directed by the doctor, would suffice

I wish we had something stronger than Exalgo (hydromorphone ER, only goes to 16mg) here in the US of A. I'm currently taking between 50-70 mg of Oxymorphone a day and these new plastic Opana ER don't work at ALL for my pain. I don't get it, I can take 20 mg of the Opana IR and have relief for 12 hrs but if I take 1 40mg Opana ER I dont get any relied at all. In fact, today I didn't take any of my IR's to see my baseline abd I spent all day in withdrawals. It's not fair. I don't abuse this medication, I take it orally, and now I'm screwed.. Ugh sorry to rant I'm just pissed.

WHAAAATTT, Hydromorph Contin CR (controlled release) is a highly addictive painkiller. It is not a drug to be prescribed to help opiate/opioid user get clean, I have NEVER heard of ANY DOCTOR prescribing a pain killer to help an addict become, or stay clean as their are medications specifically for withdraw from heroin, pills, etc. There are medications i.e. suboxone(this drug relieves all withdraw symptoms and contains a blocker which makes the user unable to get high even if they try-they'd get sick), subutex, methadone. I know this is very late. I hope your son is doing well, I'm constantly affected by addiction it surrounds me and once was also an addict years ago, I have been clean for over 5 years now (I was put on the medication suboxone and am on nothing other than my psychiatric medications I am prescribed). I was addicted to painkillers which is the exact same as being addicted to using heroin interveiniously, actually I believe pills are stronger because you know what's in them-its pure. Heroin could have any kind of junk in it. I believe you might want to go and have a talk with that doctor cause this just doesn't sound right at all, something is not kosher. Do you live in Florida by any chance? If so then that would explain why a Dr. would prescribe an addict trying to get clean a highly addictive painkiller rather than one of the many medications specifically for this. Hydromorphone is used to treat moderate to severe pain and highly addictive. I hope all is well now since this is years later but those drugs existed in 2009, so that Dr. not doing right by your son.
