How are you? The withdrawal effects may last for a couple of weeks, perhaps up to a month. As reported by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, diarrhea, fever, chills and anxiety. Godsaven, it can vary from person to person, while Oxycodone does work well for some people, that is not t...

CAN EXTENSIVE USE CAUSE kIDNEY OR LIVER PROBLEMS ## Hydrocodone is available only in combination with other ingredients, and different combination products are prescribed for different uses. Some hydrocodone products are used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Other hydrocodone products are used to relieve cough. Hydrocodone is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics and in a class of medications called antitussives. Hydrocodone relieves pain by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. Hydrocodone relieves cough by decreasing activity in the part of the brain that causes coughing. Hydrocodone that is made with acetaminophen, such as Vicodin, can cause liver damage if taken in high doses or for a long period of time. Hydrocodone on it's ow...

I currently take very high dosages of oxycodone 30mg ir and dilaudid 8mg. I think after the process of elimination that my body isn't tolerating the morphine (dilaudid) and I've been on oxy for years. I was on 80mg oc before the op and couldn't tolerate new op because of binder I wasn't getting the needed meds. I need to go off of the dilaudid going to dr tomorrow, I want to be educated and know if I switch over to only oxycodone is it reasonable to ask for the equivalent of oxy to the dilaudid in addition to the amount of oxy I am currently taking? Thank you and FYI I take 90mg oxy 4x day and 16mg dilaudid 4x day and I stagger so that pain is controlled round the clock. Thank you ps what I woul like is oxy equal to dilaudid dosage. ## Dialudid contains Hydromorphone, it...

don't know much about it. Was given after cervical fusion c6-7, curious about its ability to reduce withdrawal after use of months opiates, either oxycodone or hydrocodone for neck and arm pain, for me it had some benefit in that it stopped anxiety enough to rest post surgery but I was getting low dosage opiate and was slow to come out of anesthesia. This was 15 years ago. Is this still used? are there better ways? It seems like I was angry to reduce so quickly since I was cooperative and congruent with goal of opiate free but It seemed like a very difficult process anyway. Almost cruel in a way but it did get me out of the hospital quickly. At time of surgery I was working up to 2 weeks before surgery in an ER at major hospital in Psych ER and using 80-100 oxy qd to manage. Post su...

Is hydrocod /apap 5/325 a drug that is addictive? I'm taking it for pain associated with MS. ## Yes, Hydrocodone is highly addictive; as are all opiate medications that I know of. People who take Vicodin/Norco 'usually' tend to feel a rush of euphoria and relaxation, and any physical pain begins to decrease. Over time, users can develop a tolerance for the drug, and they will eventually require more and more to achieve those same results. From what I've heard, many people who 'abuse' this medication consume anywhere from 20 to 30 pills each day, and sometimes even more. If you or a loved one are struggling with Hydrocodone abuse or addiction, I'd strongly suggest talking to your doctor about setting up a tapering schedule or opt for seeing a drug abuse counse...

Opioid dependence is a medical diagnosis characterized by an individual's inability to stop using opioids (morphine, heroin, codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, etc.) even when objectively it is in his or her best interest to do so. In 1964 the WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence introduced "dependence" as "A cluster of physiological, behavioural and cognitive phenomena of variable intensity, in which the use of a psychoactive drug (or drugs) takes on a high priority.

I have been taking hydrocodone and oxycodone for chronic severe pain for several years and I feel completely satisfied when I can take the proper dosage established for my pain. I do not feel a need to raise the dose of this medication, once the right dose was given to me, that seemed high enough to "fix" my pain, that dose seemed to work, as long as I took it as prescribed, I was so thankful to be able to move again and not feel the serious pain getting in my way, it worked like a charm, and I really never felt any need to increase the amount or frequency of this medication even though I have taken it pretty much the same for almost 17 years, for extremely aggressive Osteoarthritis, with a lot of bone and joint damage, with fibromyalgia. I have had to have several joint replace...

I took 4mg of sub's at midnight and another 4 at 8am. This is the first time I've taken it in several months. How long till opiates will work again? ## I have done it before within the same day....6 to 7 hours apart actually and I felt fine!! I did feel the relief from the Hydro also ## I took 4mg of suboxone today @6am & 4mg @12pm. How long till I can take my usual 30mg roxis?

How long do I have to wait to take subutex after opiates, as i've heard you will withdrawal if you still have opiates in your system? ## That is correct, you must be in full withdrawal, before you take this medication, otherwise it can throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate 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? ## I took a 4 mg Hydromorphone at 8 pm last night. It's currently 12:15 am for me. Can I take a piece of a subutex right now? ## I'm in the hospital on MS Contin 15mg for 3 days. I wanted more relief so I have a subutex...

does a narco 10/325mg have oxycodone or opiates in it? ## It does contain an opiate, but it is not Oxycodone.

Been on suboxones for over a year. I stopped taking them for a week because of some dental work. I was in so much pain needing a root canal and I realized that no matter how many hydrocodones I took, it did nothing for pain. I am thinking it's because I've been on suboxones. Anyway, I want to start back on suboxones, but I am nervous to when to start taking them. The last time I took hydrocodone was about 17 hours ago. I do not feel any withdrawal symptoms from stopping them. When would I be safe to take my suboxone? ## Hello, Ricsgirl! How are you? Suboxone actually contains 2 ingredients, the opiate Buprenorphine and Naloxone, which neutralizes other opiates to help prevent their abuse, while someone is under treatment with it. The Naloxone is most likely why the Hydrocodone d...

I have been taking Hydrocodone 7.5/325 Lyrica 100mg and Tramadol 200mg ER for about 10 yrs. I have noticed a slow but steady decline in my libido, my energy, and general enjoyment of life. I tried quitting the hydrocodone and felt so terrible for 2 months, I had to get back on them. How does one quit these drugs and what drug is mainly causing the problem? The hydros? ## Hello, Vern! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems that you're having. It's difficult to say, it could be due to any of them, or the combination of all of them. However, if I had to make a guess, I'd assume that the Lyrica was the most likely culprit. Those are all known side effects of it that tend to occur the longer someone is on it. The FDA lists other potential side effects of it as possibl...

Hydro/apap does not help much for chronic pain. Would it be okay to take Tramadol and Hydro-- together? ## Hello, Weezy! How are you? Since both Tramadol and Hydrocodone are opiates, it would be best not to mix them, unless your doctor approves. They can cause depression of the central nervous system, so taking both could cause issues, such as problems breathing, lowered heart rate and lowered blood pressure. The FDA lists these medications as being narcotic analgesics, so they have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Have you talked to your doctor to let them know that it isn't relieving your pain?

Does the Hydroco Apap 325mg cause double vision? ## This contains Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen and the Hydrocodone is a narcotic opiate, so it is possible that it may cause dizziness and blurred/double vision as a side effect, as well as nausea and drowsiness. Have you spoken to your doctor? There are other medications you can try for pain, if this one is causing problematic side effects.
