From what I understand this is a brand of Hydromorphone, which is essentially a strong narcotic pain reliever derived from Morphine. Do you have any other questions or information to add? Please post back if you do. HTH

I have a friend that was addicted to
Hydromorphine Contin. He is off it now with some withdrawl still remains. A Doctor suggested he go on Methadone, but he is very leary to do so. Looking for opinions on what to do to make the right decision

Hydromorphone is an effective pain med, stronger than morphine, but realize the word "morphine" creates an image in most people's minds of a malevolent illegal drug, like heroin. You won't have trouble getting off this med., if you make a sincere effort to modulate down the amount taken slowly. Virtually everyone who has trouble getting off this drug doesn't want to quit. Nor should you have to. I think pain meds should be available without a dr's prescription because people should be able to take any med they want and also most doctors won't give strong pain med lilke hydrmophone (brand: Dilauid).
