Hydromorph Contin
(Newest replies first)

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).

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

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
