Is this a pain pill or is like a Xanax? It is round with line on 1 side and Pliva 433 on other side.

My mom is on home hospice. There is a care box that is given for various general elderly dimentia patients. Some are for nausea, Pain, constipation, etc. There is a small amt in of each and the only persons allowed into the patient care box are her rn or me her her surrogate. I have it wrapped and taped carefully as many visitors come in and out. No one that I am aware of even knows what is in there. Just last week the rn and I noticed a leak in one of the 2mg bottles of oxicotin bottle and a few pills missing. 2 trazadone and 1 halatol. I have secured it and boobied trapped it as she doesn't need these meds at this time. R N said to watch as they administer the liquids via a dropper so would not be of any use for an "amateur" MY question: if an aide gave my mom at night one or 2 of the trazadone. Would we have noticed excess sleeping during the day it was administered? Also I alerted everyone there is a cam put up that is experimental and the company didn't even tell me.Sounds good as nothing has been touched since then. Thanks for listening as this has been a very dishearten experience for all.

It's a sleeping pill. But used for secondary symptoms. Not at all like an antidepressant. And yes, you DO feel it right away, it puts you to sleep, therefore works within 45 min.

Wow! You're a Dr??? It makes sense that you make very little sense. Your post is more confusing than the operating instructions for the space shuttle. I have NO clue what you were attempting to articulate.

Hey I have a question regarding what you said. Please don't think I'm arguing I'm honestly not just curious. Ha I can tell from some of your lingo you have some form of medical backround. Anyways....does hydromorphone really come in 3mg or did you just mean you have prescribed people to take 3 mg of hydromorphone. I dint think 3mg was an available strength but you are probably a lot more qualified then myself and would know!!

Good work as usual. It's an odd AD, in terms of chemical structure and effects. Most of the shrinks I know use it as a safe, non-addicting sleep aid. It wouldn't be my first choice for an AD. However, I did have a patient who "transferred to me" (his doc, whom I knew well retired). He hoped every night that the prism effect would kick in and I mentioned that we were talking one if a million or so MPR [Monthly Prescribing Reference] had this as a major story this month. I told the patient it wouldn't be very pleasurable beyond a few hours, gut he kept praying. Meanwhile. Imparted that I didn't get paged at 4 am regarding zm erectikon tjsy wouldn't stop! The [atiemt, a demtst by profession, gave up psychiatry because he needed ADs (I ut the Trazodone to 50mg at HS and prescribed Lexapro which world well) becaisevsome jerk in his AA group who had a DO after his name (and no certs in psychiatry) told him he wasn't sober on NON-ADDICTING psych meds.His annoyed me so much that I literally "brought down the house," since I had Ivy League degrees, multiple certs, creds, etc., I told him because the "The Big Book" says or implies something doesn't make to factual correct. This is not the Holy Bible under discussion here.
I contacted that doc (an FP) and asked why he was interfering with my case and if he said abater word I'd report him to the state licensing board — along with five or six other docs. Predictably, the patient fell into a Depressive Episode and decided to go to ann "AA Doctor" — he prescribed a drug that came on the market about shen my folks got married — 1953 or so — Trivial. Good enough and safe enough, but I didn't like giving phenothiazines indefinite. I take Thorazine for severe migraine accompanied by nausea and/r vomiting and I watch my intake. Hold save us from Bipolar patients (he had a Bipolar I Disorder) snd those doctors who don't care what the current thinking is, still advocate the position of no meds in AA or NA.

@Post #14,
Some of us on this site are MDs, RNs, NPs and lots of others are not stupid. What is ONE pill (assuming you understood what it was and indications and contraindications). If your Grandma needs pain meds, it's up to HER doctor to decide IF she needs them, which drug would be best and frequency of dosage (For example, I've written for Hydromorphone [Dilaudid] n strengths from 2 to 3 mg all the way to 8mg (and that's usually q3-8 to 8h). Given its potency, we're talking about drugs that can easily cause significant side effects in the elderly. I don't know what disgusts me more — using a sick grandma for a drug scam or your assumption of the stupidity of the medical profession.

No sorry two different drug families. If you are a recovering opiate/opioid addict like I am I can recommend going to your nearest hospital and inquiring about a program, sub friendly hospitals will give you a drug panel to make sure and the same day will issue u suboxone. Suboxone was not for me so I found a methadone clinic.

That's why it was prescribed for me. I take a reasonably effective antidepressant, but sometimes cannot sleep. I don't use trazadone often, but it works and best of all, I don't feel groggy in the morning.
