What Is Stronger Dilaudid Or Oxycontin 40 Mg? (Page 28) (Top voted first)

I have been on Dilaudid for over 2 years now and I can't seem to get off of it. I'm under a doctor's care, but anyone who is on it knows it's very addicting! I think like everybody else, it's no good if you take it orally. It's only effective other ways. I always run out of Dilaudid before my prescription is ready to refill and recently I filled a script for oxycontin 40 mg to see if they could replace my 4 mg Dilaudid. However, I took 1/2 of a 40 mg. and felt nothing. An hour later I took my 4 mg Dilaudid and it seems to have worked. But they are very short lived, that's why for chronic pain they like to give these stupid time release pain pills. How many mg.'s does equal the same amount of Dilaudid? I also would like to know if anyone has ever tapered off of Dilaudid? You get really sick when you try to get off of it, really intense vomiting and stomach pain that lasts forever. I have never stuck it out, I always end up in the emergency room. All they do is give me a pain shot of Dilaudid and a prescription for it as well and send me home. They think there is something wrong with something else. I have even tried to tell them but they either don't want to get involved because I'm under a Dr.'s care or they are just stupid. I hope someone has the best kicking advice, I'd rather be straight or just be one of those once in a while users (RIGHT)!!!

REPORT

I've been on painkillers since I was 16 years old...in February I'll be 31, so it's been basically more than half of my life. It's insane how much my body can handle and still want more. I'm only 5 foot, and barely weigh 100 pounds, yet I can chew two or 3 Oxy 80's and function like a normal person. Just recently, due to a change in my prescription plan, I was forced to switch from Oxy 80's (I'm prescribed 4 pills day or 320mgs) to Dillaudid, 8mg pills (I think he prescribed about 12 pills day of those.) Although I'm not entirely out of my 80's yet, I will be soon, and I'm terrified of how I'll feel once all I have is the Dillaudid pills. I've kind of been mixing it up to get used to the transition slowly, but I'm still worried about it. Does anyone have any idea how I'll feel or if I'll be ok?

First of all, Dilaudid is an opiate not a narcotic as you stated. Dilaudid is used for short term pain relief and Oxycodin for long term. They are OFTEN used together under the supervision of a health care professional. Beware of taking advice from the uneducated!

Re: Ty (# 3)

I was on both Dilaudid and Oxycontin for a long time. I have 4 herniated discs in my neck. I was also taking Lyrica at the sane time. I did get off all of them. I was not able to function. I wasn't able to work. I felt like a zombie. I just stopped taking them and it's hasn't easy. But I take nothing for my pain but at least I'm not living like I'm in a fog.

Kratom can be very dangerous. Do your research before deciding on anything. From personal experience, depending on where you live, I would take CBD Oil or medical marijuana. Stay away from Gabapentin and Lyrica. Lyrica made me suicidal and Gabapentin landed me in the hospital for a month. CBD oil will also help with any withdrawals you might have. Withdrawals are the absolute worse. Best of luck to you!

“Kratom is now a Schedule 1 drug in Alabama, the same classification as heroin and ecstasy. Wisconsin, Vermont, Tennessee, Indiana and Arkansas have also banned the botanical supplement, and more states are considering the same course. The federal government, too, has worries about kratom.

Dilaudid 8mg = Oxy 40mg or Morphone 64mg but Dil is the best. I get 120 every month for $7. They must be snorted. I wish that I had a friend to share them with. I have been taking them for 3 years. Yes, you can mix them with Oxy's. I used to have a friend and we snorted a Dil 8 and then an Oxy 40 a half hour later and then a Dil 8 a half hour later and the an Oxy 40 a half hour later plus a shot of whiskey each time we did it. What a wonderful life it was. Now I just snort a Dil 8 every 4 hours. I need a friend.
