If I take a 60mg morphine pill tonight at 8:00 on Monday night and I have a urine test Friday after my interview at 2:00pm. Will it still be in my system. I am 6'4" 160lbs and I have a very fast metabolism. ## Hello, According to nhtsa.gov, Morphine has a short half-life of 1.5-7 hours. So lets say it takes 2 hours on average for the half-life to take effect. This would translate into the following: 60mg - 8pm Monday 30mg - 10pm Monday 15mg - 12am Tuesday 7.5mg - 2am Tuesday 3.75mg - 4am Tuesday 1.875mg - 6am Tuesday 0.937mg - 8am Tuesday 0.468mg - 10am Tuesday 0.234mg - 12pm Tuesday 0.117mg - 2pm Tuesday 0.058mg - 4pm Tuesday 0.029mg - 6pm Tuesday 0.014mg - 8pm Tuesday ….and so forth Based on these numbers, I'd anticipate it being out of your system by Wed...

Hi,I was diagnose with Lupus in 2004 and For my pain my Doctor gave me Vicodin and now Norco,But For my body ack's and muscle pains my Doctor gave me soma,But now he tells me about this round whit pill that has the number 4211 at the top and has a line in the middle/ with the letter V at the bottom and nothing on the back that he wants me to try which he said that this pill is the same as taking a soma,So before I change my soma to this other medication I wanted and needed to know if theses two pills or the same mediation,Can you please help me,Thank you. ## It is not the same active ingredient, since the new tablet contains Methocarbamol, while Soma contains Carisoprodol, but they are in the same class of medications, both of them are muscle relaxants. Sometimes one works better fo...

We were told my husband would be on extended release morphine. The morphine ER is that type, but he was given morphine LA! What is the difference? ## Hello, Sharon! How are you and your husband? They are both the same, the LA and ER are just different ways to designate it as being a time released formulation. You may also see others, such as SR, XR, and more. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm prescribed Tylenol #4 every 4 hrs. Took my last 2 yesterday, then took 1 percocet last night & 1 hydrocodone today. Will my urine test at pain clinic tomorrow show the percocet & hydrocodone? ## There's really no direct answer to your question, since it can vary from person to person. The Oxycodone in Percocet, along with the Hydrocodone, will very likely show up within a day of taking them. Assuming that you only took these two drugs this one time and are not a chronic user, you can still try to get the Hydrocodone out of your system in time for a UA. Most pharmacists consider that after 3-5 "half-lives," close to 90% of the drug has been eliminated and is no longer affecting the body. The maximum wait to achieve five half-lives for Vicodin (hydrocodone) wou...

I am prescribed 5 mg 2 x a day but I ran out and was in pain, so I took Hydrocodone today and have a drug test Wednesday morning at pain doctor. I have no Percocet. Does Roxicodone show up the same as perks? Will Hydrocodone show up different? ## Yes they show different. I was sick with cold and took cough medicine that contained hydrocodone and my pain Dr did the monthly drug test and it showed up and I was questioned since she prescribes me oxycodone. I was able to show her my cough medicine prescription and it was fine. They may not all check for different opiates, however my Dr does and the different ones are detected so they will know the difference. ## I am sick with flu and have been throwing up so have not been taking my oxycodone as much as I could. Because I just throw it back...

Can anyone tell me the difference between two oxycodone pills I have ...lst one is...round pink np /12.. and second one is k56 round pink poll ## Hello, Kelly! How are you? There is no difference, they are just manufactured by different companies, which requires that they have different markings on them. It is very common for generics to be manufactured by several different companies and your pharmacy may switch which one they stock, at any time, depending on what company was offering the cheapest price at the time they needed to restock their supply. So both of these contain 10mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation, a generic for Roxicodone. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsi...

Hello, I need some help as I just started pain management. I was taking 20mg oxycodone ir 3x a day and it wasn't working. My new Dr just put me on 2x a day morphine sulfate er. Is that stronger because I'm reading oxycodone is 1.5x stronger? I don't wanna be in withdrawal and have worse pain. ## What dosage of Morphine did your doctor prescribe? That is the relevant information needed in order to answer you question. Can you please post back with this information? Thank you! The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## Don't do the morphine it about run me crazy does not help pain ## Been there done that don't ta...

Can i take tramadol 50mg if i took oxycodone 15mg 7 hours ago? I am back in pain. Please let me know if its okay to take the tramadol 50mg? ## You can, if they have both been prescribed for you and you are taking them with your doctor's approval. The FDA warns that they carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am having pain in my neck and right arm radiating up to my middle finger. Doctor has advised me Neugaba 75 mg. I want to know its side effect profile, because I am feeling some giddiness, and my nose is also running since the time I started taking this medicine. Earlier I was advised to take Gabaneuron, but still there was no relief in pain and even now I am feeling the same pain as earlier. My doctor says it is PIVD C5-6 and 6-7 with radiculopathy. ## Neugaba contains the active ingredient Pregabalin. This is an anticonvulsant that has also been shown to help with certain types of nerve pain. ## I am having pain in left hip which extends to feet. dector has advised neguba , ubicar, and durajoint. I feel guddiness every day and trying to find out the cause. Please advice me. ## neugab...

Hi there. My name is Jacob. I'm a 21 year old male that is from West Virginia. I'm seeking some help or any information on how to get myself some help with my constant struggle with pains. I'm very sorry to bother but I'm not sure what to do. I've been in severe pain since a car wreck I was in last year when another driver cut my fiancé and I off on a 3 lane wide road and we hit broad side at 50mph. My fiancé was severely injured in the wreck with bad swelling in the head and face area and my right inner hip, lower back, and my shoulder up closer to the right side of my neck. I was admitted to the ER in Belpre, OH and was treated like I was faking it or whatever they may have thought because I wasn't brought by ambulance. My brother had to drive me beca...

I am disabled with lupus and PAC. I was taking oxycodone 10-325 one 4x a day with excellent results. My pain mgmt dr changed me to oxymorphone er 10mg with oxycodone one 2x day for breakthrough. I am having constant pain and have been on oxymorphone for two days. How long until it takes effect? I'm miserable. ## What is the current dose you are taking of the Oxycodone? You may not be on an equivalent dosage, there is also a chance that the Opana just doesn't work for you. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

Is it safe to take 1 oral 15mg morphine ER 12 hours apart, and also take 10/325 oxycodone/acetaminophen, staggered with the morphine, PRN? ## They are often prescribed that way to help get better control of severe pain, but of course, it depends on the person's opiate tolerance and should only be done with a doctor's approval. The NIH warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Is the patient also taking any other medications? ## Thank you for your response, Verwon. Yes, I take several other meds, but it doesn't matter now. My pain management doctor stopped the morphine. My feet/ankles had swollen to twice their normal size and I was experiencing itching (no r...

I took 2 10mg hydrocodone 325 acetaminophen for the pain of wisdom teeth coming in. I understand to drink as much water as possible but should I take it on a full stomach or eat with it?? I feel kind of light-headed but in no need of emergency. ## It can be taken either way, but since it may cause some nausea, and dizziness, according to NIH reports, some people do better taking it with food. Other side effects are listed as possibly including headache, drowsiness, constipation, and dry mouth. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

I've been on pregabalin for 3 years now for fibromyalgia but I'm use to it or maybe the half life isn't enough, I'm on the max dose of 600ml a day even though I know of 2 other ppl who was on 900ml of which I'd of thought risky for the doctor as 600 is the legal amount. Ive got my pain appointment on the 18 the of July and in the UK I'm not sure if roxycodone, oxycontin, hydracodone would, 1, be prescribed and 2 im aware of half life of some of them as I'm prone to taking more than 600ml pregabs if I'm in pain only because I'm aware that zopiclone or benzos stop you from withdrawing if i m running short of them. I don't tell the doctor this as they just think your undermind them. It would be a great help if anyone could advise me what would be helpfu

What is stronger of the two 10/325 or 7.5/750 Hydrocodone? ## 10/325 stronger more hydrocodone with 10 mg per pill and only 325ancetametaphen were as the 7.5mg 750 is only 7.5 mg of hydrocodne the hydrocodone is the prescription the 750 and 325 is just the over the count tylonal I awful at spelling. Spell check makes you dumb but I hope this helps ## That is mostly correct, however, you cannot buy Acetaminophen over the counter in higher than 500mgs, which would be Extra Strength Tylenol. But the smaller numbers do refer to the Hydrocodone, which is a narcotic pain reliever, so the higher the number, the higher the dosage and the stronger the medication. The maximum you can get of it in the US is 10mgs. The common name brands for this are Lortab and Vicodin. Common side effects may incl...

I have taken ns contin 60mg 4x a day for abot 10 years and roxicodone 15mg 4 x day for break through pain but it has got to where its not working now so what othwr medication do i have as another option ## Hello, Linda! How are you? Well, there are higher doses of both of these medications available. Additionally, there is a time released formulation of Oxycodone available, it's called Oxycontin and is stronger than the Morphine in the MS contin. Learn more Oxycontin details here. There is also a patch that contains Fentanyl, it is stronger than both the Morphine and the Oxycodone. Learn more Fentanyl details here. These are narcotic analgesics, so they have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipatio...
