Need Help Overcoming Dilaudid Withdrawal
(Newest replies first)

I've been taking dilaudid 4mg once sometimes twice a day. At the end of the month when I run out, if I take a couple of Tylenol and codeine will it help till I get my pills?

As per my original post, I've been taking 4mg of Dilaudid for a year (two a day). Will oxycodone 5mg help with withdrawal?
Hello, Sue! How are you?
It may help, a little, but it is not equivalent to Dilaudid, so it will not be an adequate long-term replacement.
The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
For example, it takes 1.12mgs of Codeine to equal each 4.5mgs of Dilaudid.
Is there anything else I can help with?
