Can You Inject Hydrocodone

Just a general question..I've read u can inject just about anything. ## Well, it's definitely NOT the smart thing to do!!! Most tablets contain fillers that ARE NOT meant to be broken down by your body, they are usually just expelled in your waste, so if you dissolve a pill and inject it, you are just putting these miniscule particles into your veins, which can create problems such as clots, the same thing can occur if you crush them and try to snort them. Lortabs contain the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, so there are narcotic pain relievers. They are highly addictive and abusing them can also be very dangerous. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation. You can read more here: Do you have any other questions? ## The only...

I’m taking hydrocodone for sciatica until I get approval for my injection. Now I’m having severe nausea, constipation, dizziness and a bout of Afib. Anyone else face this horrible situation? Thanks. ## It is an opiate, and they are known to raise the risk of someone experiencing Afib, according to FDA reports. The nausea, dizziness, and constipation are also common side effects, along with headache, and dry mouth. It also carries the risk of being habit forming. What injection are you looking into? Can you post back and be more specific? That would enable me to provide you with more information. Are you on any other medications?

how to crush and liquifiy pills ## This is a very dangerous practice for several reasons, that said, we could not allow such instructions to be posted on our website. Pills are not intended to be injected. Many of them contain fillers and inactive ingredients that are not meant to be used by the human body. Normally they are expelled in your waste, if you dissolve and inject the tablets, you are putting these substances directly into your body where it cannot get rid of them. This can create dangerous blockages. On top of that, you also run the risk of overdose, which could cause serious organ damage or death. Norco is a narcotic pain reliever that contains Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone. If you are experiencing pain and the tablets do not help when you use them in a normal manner, pleas...

Need breakthrough pain relief. Is it possible? ## This is a VERY dangerous practice and not recommended at all!! Pills contain inactive ingredients called fillers, they are NOT meant to be broken down by the human body. Normally, when you swallow a tablet, they are expelled in your waste. If you crush a pill and snort it or inject it, then you are putting these products directly into your lungs or blood stream, where your body CANNOT get rid of them. So, on top of the risk of overdose, you risk creating blockages and clots, which can also be fatal! Please DO NOT play in such a manner with narcotics, you are risking your life! Do you have any other questions? ## Besides, injecting hydrocodone isn't really that fun. Actually, it pretty much sucks even if you do it right. If you're...

I have had 4 steroid injections for sciatic back pain with no relief. I have tried acupuncture to no avail and am now trying the Hydrocodone but am concerned it may be addictive. What signs should I be aware of when taking this medication every day? ## Hello, Maxine! How are you? Yes, 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. I think it will best help you, if I explain how/why addiction happens. Narcotics can cause a high feeling and energy, in some people that take them, but since those are just side effects, these symptoms eventually wear off, as their bodies become used to the medication. Thus, they have to keep taking more an mo...

Is it possible that I just ordered hydrocodone/acetaminophen illegally? I suffer with lower back problems and have been under chiropractic care, have gotten Xrays, and MRI and back injections. I just finished with my prescription for Lortab (a little early I'm afraid). I saw something at CVS about buying prescriptions online. I did a search and came to an online pharmacy website. The website I went to certainly looked legit. I am a fairly intelligent person, but is it possible that I just did the stupidest thing? It said that a prescription was not required and that it would be shipped from California and arrive tomorrow. What do I do now????? What's going to happen??? Any help is appreciated!!!!! ## What ended up happening? ## I'm curious as well, what ended up happening? D...

I have bulging disks and sciatica. My pain Dr gave me 7.5 hydrocodone and gabapentin. I went today for my appt but was discharged because my test came back positive for oxymorphone and dilaudid. I have NEVER taken those meds. My Dr wouldn't even see me. Last month they were supposed to do injections but never called for approval until the morning I showed up for the procedure. ## I relapsed recently on herion, but I have a Dr appt tomorrow and they might drug test me. Is there something I can do to get the drug out of my system before I take the test? And If I take Norco and Xanax, can those two taken together or separate cause my urine test to come back with morphine in it or come back as a false positive/negative test? ## I'm so sorry. Been relatively in your curtain situation...

What is the suggested dosage for Hydrocodone Acetaminophen 5 325? ## The recommended dosing is usually 1 to 2 tablets, every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain, not to exceed 8 tablets in a day. Learn more Vicodin details here. However, there are other factors that can play a role in how much is right for you, such as other medications you are taking and any other medical conditions you may have. Thus, you should follow any instructions provided by your doctor, or pharmacy. Are there any other questions or comments? ## Is Vicodin in this drug? My physician perscribed this drug above. I had an IS joint injection and now suffer with nerve pain. I don't like how I feel on this drug. How does it differ from this drug-Hydrocodone Ascomp with Codine 5/300mg? This drug is a capsule yellow/blu...

My reuhmatologist does not want to prescribe hydrocodone anymore. I have severe pain from Lupus and arthritis. She has had me on this medication for 12 years. I have never, abused it, Now she decides she is afraid to write it with the new laws. She also treats my son who has fibromyalgia, epilepsy, which he dislocated his shoulder when he fell, during a grand Mal seizure, he has severe migraines and has tried every medication, even Botox, injections, and has discs problems in his neck because of his Down syndrome, which gives him terrible neck pain. After being patients for many years, she started us on their medications, she doesn't want to write them any more. ## You and your son need to see a Pain Management Dr. You will also need a copy of your medical records.

I'm still having severe pain after taking 800mg of Advil pm. It's been an hour. Can I take a 10/325 norco? ## Hello, Rachel! How are you? Why did you take so much of the Advil PM? That's not safe, so no, it would not be a good idea to mix it with the Norco. Both the Diphenhydramine in the Advil PM and the Hydrocodone in the Norco can cause depression of the central nervous system, so it could be very dangerous. Norco: This is 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. ## Hi my name is dawn, I have been in pain for years.

I took 7.25/325 of hydrocodone every 4-6 hrs for pain and after 9 yrs of treatment under a Doctor's care alone with spinal injections every 3 months for 9 yrs. At 45 yrs old going on 46 yrs old I will now have to get surgery it is looking like as things are much worse and only surgery can help me, but the Doctor wanted to wait as long as I could before going under the knife. My question is, if I was put on Morphine 15 what would I have to take that would even be close to what I was originally on (hydrocodone)? I mean I have been told Morphine won't help me at all and I will be in a lot of pain after surgery. ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? No, you should be fine, Morphine and Hydrocodone are equivalent on a 1 to 1 ratio, so 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone equals 7.5mgs of Morphine. The FDA w...

I am having an epidural tomorrow at 1:45 pm. Is it okay to take IC Hydrocondon 5- 525 and Extra Strength Tylenol 12 hours before the injection? ## Hello, Samantha! How are you? You shouldn't take anything, without your doctor's approval. Some medications can interfere with the procedure, or with anesthetic that may be used for the procedure. And you shouldn't ever combine Tylenol with the Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen since they both contain Acetaminophen and an overdose of it can be very dangerous. 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

have been taking hydrocodone 10-325 for two and a half yers for degenerative disk disease now he,s put me on 10mg oxicodone dont know alot about pain meds can someone out there give me a general idea of something thata not so costly but will knock out the pain fast tired of doc,s giving me the runaround injections didnt wrk would appreciate the info in chronic pain 4ever thank,s moonshine ## While it isn't as strong as the Oxycodone, so it would require a higher dosage of 15mgs, rather than 10mgs, Morphine is available in the same formulations as Oxycodone and is usually much cheaper, because it isn't as new to the market and isn't used as often.

I have had two back surgeries. I have had the injections, I have taken Prednisone 10 mg, cyclobenzapr 10 mg. and Hydroco acetaminop 10 mg. The doctors informed me that I have 2 pinched nerves.

I am 57 yr old Male, I have congestive heart failure with injection ratio of 15%. It appears that when I take hydrocodone I have more energy and less breathing problems. Has this been found to be a benificial side affect. When I dont take it I dont have the desire or energy to do anything. ## Hydrocodone is used in some prescription cough syrups, because it has been know to help with cough and congestion. Another way it may be helping is through the fact that it causes depression of the central nervous system, so it may be helping your heart by slowing it down, so it doesn't work as hard. Is your doctor aware that you are taking it? Such use should be monitored on a regular basis. And what medications do you take for your heart and the CHF? ## Yes my Cardiologist is aware of this pe...

STILL LOOKING FOR ANY NEWS ON WETHER OR NOT THEY'RE WILL BE A LAWSUIT AGAINST PURDUE AND ITS NEW FORMULATION OF OXYCONTIN AND HOW ITS ROTTING PATIENTS TEETH. ## As a point of awareness, the original "OC" version of OxyContin can cause tooth damage. Actually, ANY narcotic can damage the teeth. Heroin, morphine, oxycodone, codeine, hydrocodone - makes no difference. Time release, instant release, injection, suppository - delivery method isn't important either. Any opiate or opioid can cause dry mouth - which can damage teeth. Another often overlooked factor is that these drugs cause sedation and drowsiness: not unusual for someone to take their dose and fall asleep without brushing or flossing teeth. ## I would like to find out if there is any class action lawsuits involvi...
