It's used to treat moderate to severe pain. ## P.S. I mean it is an opiate. ## Hello, Nick! How are you? Just to clarify what Cats68 has said, because she is so very helpful, Oxycontin is actually both, it's a narcotic opiate.

I just started taking Cymbalta three days ago for bone spurs and fibromyalgia. I have been tired, drowsy and lethargic. How long will it take before these symptoms disappear?

I am a hospice patient and was prescribed 1 - 2 tylenol #3 every 4 hours. I was wondering if this is a strong opiate?

The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Are you on any other medications? ## i have an emergency pack from hospice in the frig which contains morphine but i haven't taken anything from my care box yet

Oxycontin 5mg. Verses oxybutynin5 mg.IS THIS THE SAME DRUG? ## Hi tammy, Based on my research, Oxybutynin is an anticholinergic medication used to relieve urinary and bladder difficulties, including frequent urination, and inability to control urination (urge incontinence)- by decreasing muscle spasms of the bladder. Oxycontin, also known as Oxycodone, is a strong narcotic analgesic used to relieve moderate to severe pain. With that being said, the answer to your question is no-Oxycontin and Oxybutynin are not the same. You can learn more about this drug on the page for OxyContin Details You can learn more about this drug on the page for Oxybutynin Details I hope this helps. Do you have anymore questions?

Hello I've been on high does opiates for injuries due to a terrible auto accident for 16 yrs to date. My doctor at my request prescribed my contrave. How long do I need to be off opiates before starting the contrave? I know people can take suboxone almost immediately. With the bupropion in contrave does it help stop pain from withdrawal effects of the opiates? ## You need to be in full withdrawal from the opiates, before you can take this, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise. Taking it too soon could cause you to go into dangerous precipitated withdrawals. The same is true of Suboxone, it cannot be taken immediately. Bupropion is an antidepressant, not an analgesic, so no. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Contrave as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, d...

My Dr wants to switch me off of fentanyl because my insurance won't cover it (except under extreme circumstances). I might qualify for those circumstances because I'm allergic to almost every pain med. But we're not sure and I need some other options. What are some of the other long acting opiates that aren't going to cause servere nausea (I have cyclic vomiting syndrome) or are patches like the fentanyl? ## Hi, CD! Sorry about the problems that you're having. However, nausea and vomiting can be a side effect of all opiates, so there's really no way to say which ones may work for you, without causing it. But you may want to talk to your doctor about Butrans and see if your insurance will cover it. It's a transdermal patch, similar to the Fentanyl, that contai...

Hi, my name is jay and i also was prescribed this pill. I know what it is and what it does but I was wondering if it has an opiate blocker like the D155 or the octagon one? ## Hello, Jay! How are you? Yes, this tablet is manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 8mgs of Buprenorphine and 2mgs of Naloxone, which is the blocker. The FDA lists this medication as being a narcotic that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

A user was using for months, tried quitting cold turkey with violent, terrible, horrible withdrawal symptoms that finally tapered off, but left with depression. So user went back to using, tried quitting again but this time administered small doses to ward off the withdrawal symptoms, which worked wonderfully. User was very happy about this, though endorphin deficiency sydrome haunted still. A full dependancy on Almighty Creator Father, St. Johns Wort extract along with exercise remedied this and user is a balanced happy person and free of drugs now. ## Hello, Thank you for sharing this! I'm glad the "user" was able to successfully wean off the opiates and find a way to incorporate exercise and herbal supplements for health and happiness. :) I just thought I'd ask, was h...

I have been on percocet and percocet er. My doctor put me on wellbutrin for depression. Do these mix well together?

Other side effects may including dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. However, there is no Percocet ER. What exactly where you taking? Was it Oxycontin? Can you please post back and clarify?

What are opiate inhalers like? What are they given for? ## Hi Olivia, How are you? Upon researching "opiate inhalers" I'm really not finding any specific details outside of nebulized Narcan (Naloxone); which is actually an opioid antagonist used for treating opioid addiction/overdosing and NOT pain. Apparently it works by reversing the effects of opioids. Though regarding "patches", the only one I know of are Fentanyl patches and those are prescribed for severe/chronic pain. Just out of curiosity, where did you hear about opiate inhalers?

IT MAKES ME FEEL SICK NOT ANYTHING LIKE MALLINCKRODT METHADONE. ## Hello, Danette! How are you? There can be variations in the amount of the active ingredient when going from one generic to another, as permitted under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, so this one may have just enough of a fluctuation to cause more side effects. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Have you informed your doctor? They may know of some way to alleviate the nausea. ## It is not the same. It makes you feel like your wd'ing in half the time of its alternative. We've been in treatment for years and there is an uproar over this "new" bulls*** Roxane. ...
