Pain Relief Forums (Page 906)

As an anesthesiologist with 20 years of experience, certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology, I and my colleagues have developed advanced opiate addiction stoppage protocol where patients would go under anesthesia for 8 hours while receiving anti-narcotic medications intravenously and intramuscularly. When they wake up, the physical addiction is eliminated without the patients feeling any withdrawal, and they cannot relapse for the next 30 days. Before 30 days are up, they just need a monthly injection of long-lasting opiate blocker, approved by FDA, brand-named Vivitrol. Please view our website, www.rapiddetoxlasvegas.com or call me, Dr. Thomas Yee, MD, at (800) 276-7021. We would like to introduce this treatment to more opiate addicts to help them quit and stay clean for long...

I taken maybe 2-5 mg of opana for pass 3 days now. No more no less. Will that be out of my system by friday? Curious, i have drug screen, any advice? ## Opana (oxymorphone) has a half-life of roughly 7-9 hours. Knowing this, you can simply divide the dose you took in half every 7-9 hours and so forth until the math becomes small decimals. This can give you an idea of how much of your dose is still in your system at any given time. Keep in mind though that the length of time following drug use for which a positive result may occur is dependent upon several factors including the frequency and amount of usage, metabolic rate, excretion rate, drug half-life, and the drug user’s age, weight, activity, and diet. All in all, I wouldn't worry since you took a small dose a...

I have a white oval pill that is printed with PLIVA 515. Can you please tell me what kind of pill it is? ## Is the marking possibly Pliva 616? If so, the tablet contains 50mgs of Tramadol, which is a centrally acting analgesic. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and constipation. Learn more:

what is the difference between a 30mg blue morphin and a maroon 30mg ## Are there any markings on the tablets you are asking about? I can't provide you with any specific information just based on the colors, since they don't actually mean anything. There are, however, several possibilities. They could just be manufactured by different companies, or one may be a time released tablet and the other a regular release formulation.

I was priscribed nitrofur macr 100mg today. A couple of hours ago before even taking the medicine I got a headache and still have one can I take Advil after I have already taken the nitrofur? ## I didn't find any interactions listed, but you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. Are there any other questions or comments?

Is Kadian er the same as Kadian cr? my insurance stopped the er but said I could switch to the cr. I was just wondering what the differance was. Thank you ## Yes, they are the same, they both designate it as being a time released formulation, they are just different ways of saying it, the ER stands for extended release and the CR for controlled release. Is there anything else I can help with?

After epidural injections for pain in my spine/neck, I experienced extreme reactions to fentanyl anesthetic while in the post op. recovery room but the medical staff had no idea what to do or even the equipment to do it with. The medical staff seemed utterly helpless and suspected I had heart problems or some other "mysterious" condition and wanted me to go see my regular doctor or go to an emergency room RIGHT AWAY! I did go to my regular doctor who said I was just having a drug reaction (it was already wearing off) and I should not be given that drug again. I have since researched Fentanyl anesthetic and it's side effects-complications and every one of my symptoms is mentioned in the medical literature up to and including the possible Fentanyl antagonist that the surgical ...

I have been on the Fentanyl 25mcg patches for about a month and a have. My doctor switched me to the 50mcg patches but after two of them I was moved back down to the 25's because they were too strong. My pain is almost gone so I want to get off of the patches but I don't have enough money (no insurance) to keep buying them or to see the PM Doc again. I have 5 25 mug patches left. Is there any possible way to ween myself down to zero with minimal to no withdrawal symptoms after? I am desperate to be done with all of these pain killers! Please help! ## After such a short period of time, the withdrawal effects should be minimal, though you're likely to still experience some, since this is such a potent narcotic. And as to a way to taper, there's really no way to do that eff...

My Dr diagnosed me with Fibro almost 2 years ago. I took a drug last year playing the insurance game. It was an anti-depressent and I swear to you it made my crazy! I am sensitive to drugs that alter my mind and that was the worst. But the insurance insisted I needed to take it before they would give me a Fibro med. It was so bad I refused to take anything till this year. I live in Western PA and to say our weather is bi-polar, well thats an understatment. So I have been in a rather painful flair for about 4 months now. I decided to start lyica. Here is where it is fun. My Dr knows nothing about the drug. The pharmisist knows nothing about the drug and appearently no one thought that starting me out at 300mg a day was a bad thing. After 2 pills I was a MESS. I couldn't drive because...

I got them in 11-13-09 r they still good ## If they are in a pharmacy dispensed bottle which exposes them to the elements, then the expiration date would have been a year from when you received them. After that, they don't get dangerous, but they do begin to lose efficacy. However, what you should be aware of is that all medications containing Propoxyphene were pulled from the market, due to the risk it causes of cardiac dangers.

Embarrassed, I have compounded physical conditions that immobilize me in pain so that I can't even make it to appointments! I have gone organic, done ANYTHING! But my pain is too much at times, especially when I must be strong to handle what can be overkill for my body, thus well-BEing. I'm really looking to just find a legit way to get generic Vicodin, to use as a bandaid for the unmanageable pain, of which mind over matter can handle with that help! I found the 10 to help, mu metabolism is crazy but I'm sick so.. At most, I took 0-2 a day. I am fighting for my life and just want to fight better! I am in a negative environment that, due to disability, I can't leave. But it is verbal abuse everyday with threat of otherwise and the stress makes it worse! My county support...

I have been taking 30 mil of oxydodone for approximately one year. 4 months ago the color of the light blue pill changed dramatically to a very dark blue. I have also been in more pain since this change. Could the dark blue be another generic that is not as strong as the light blue? Thank you. ## Are you certain that the dark blue pill you received is in fact Oxycodone? I only ask because there are no dark blue Oxycodone pills with this marking (or any part of this marking) listed in the U.S. drug databases. If it is Oxycodone, odds are that it could be manufactured outside of the U.S; which would explain why it's not showing up. Just out of curiosity, did you order these pills through an online pharmacy? ## The cheap Qualitest brand is dark blue ovals that almost look purple...they...

i have just taken 1, 5mg endone tablet. I am a diabetic, 1500mg metaformin + 2mg indopril + 1500mg valpro to help with depression. will the 5mg endone have an adverse effect because of these other medications ## The Endone contains the active ingredient Oxycodone, which is a narcotic and taking it with the Valproic Acid in the Valpro does increase the risk of depression of the central nervous system. It's not that they can't be used together, but your doctor should very carefully consider the dosages and they should be monitoring you regularly. Is your doctor aware of everything you are taking?

Can Lortab make you test positive for cocaine on a urine test? ## Cocaine: you dont have to worry about a false positive so much. But opiates you will most deffinetly show up if you have taken lortab in the past few days. ## He is correct about opiates and they stay in your system about 72 hours ## If you have been taking them long term, then they will stay even longer than 72 hours. ## It depends on the test and who's testing you. A simple 5 panel drug test for pre-employment wouldn't show hydromorphone on the Opiates section of the test. For most employers at least. A pain clinic checking to see what you have in your system would test for the synthetic opiates like oc, lortab, etc.

How long does it take for the new opana er 10 mg to enter your system for a urine drug test? I have sevier back pain, I am 50 years old and i was perscribed the new opana 10 mg. They are different from the ones I used to take and they didnt work as well as the ones I had before. I am hoping my doctor perscribes me the 20 mg so that I feel less pain for alot longer so I can take fewer pills. I didnt take the 10s on the regular bc they didnt take the pain away. I took one 20 mins before I had a Urine test so it would show up. Will they dectect it in my system? ## Hi Leona, From my experience, a good rule of thumb is that if you feel the drug kick in, then it will certainly show up after you took it. As far as the length of time it takes for you to feel it will vary depending upon your met...

Hi iam takeing morphine sulfate er 15mg my dr just started me on these one every 12 hours I took one at 5am it is now 12pm would it hurt me to take a nuther one...??? Iam in pain I was takeing methadon 10mg x3 but I wanted off of it so my ? Is can I take a nuthher morphine? ## Have you contacted your doctor? It isn't advisable to take them closer together, than the 12 hour dosing, unless your doctor specifically advises you to do so. It could result in your getting too much of the Morphine at once and may result in an overdose. Even though you have been switched to another narcotic, if you stopped the Methadone abruptly, without tapering, then you are likely to experience some withdrawal and rebound effects, which could result in pain that's much worse for a few weeks.

I want to know if tramadol shows as an opiet in a hair follicle test. The company I'm working for does a thirteen panel drug screen. Is that a test that breaks down specified prescribeddrugs for what they are or one that just says there's opiets in your system?? ## While it is a very mild opioid, Tramadol requires a very specific test to detect and is not included in the standard urine tests that are administered. In addition, if you have a prescription for it, then all you have to do is inform them of that, when you go in for testing. Are there any other comments or questions?
