Clinical trials were looking at the use of opiod agonists as off label anti-depressants. Since they block the release of glutimate without the more addictive opiate side effects. Also, releases more dopamine? Ketamine also being studied as well as anti-inflammatory drugs in combination with opioid agonists? I am probably mistating the complex bio-chemistry involved, but bottom line it seems like anti-depressant meds are all moving toward reducing inflammation by reducing glutamate release, (or is it the other way around) from the spinal column by binding opioid agonists to the pain receptors. Thereby also increasing dopamine release. I know several experimental drugs were in the pipeline but some fizzled out. Any ideas as to truly "new" anti-depressants for treatment resistant m...

I have a rheumatoid condition and am prescribed both Oxycodone and Tramadol. I alternate between them, not wishing to become addicted. What I'm unsure of is whether they are different enough chemically to prevent my body getting too used to either one. I also take a day off here and there, but I just feel very wary. I have to do pain management, but I just want to verify that taking Oxycodone one day and Tramadol the next doesn't strike my body chemically as being the same thing. Many thanks for any helpful response! (Cross-posted in oxycodone forum as well). ## From what I could gather, nih.gov classifies each drug under similar, but different drug categories: "Tramadol is in a class of medications called opiate agonists. It works by changing the way the body senses pain. O...

I take subutex for opiate addiction but I'm still in chronic pain. Will oxymorphone be blocked by buprenorphine in subutex like it blocks other full opiate agonists? ## Hello, Robin! How are you? No, it isn't the Buprenorphine that blocks anything. I believe you're actually thinking of Suboxone, which contains Buprenorphine and Naloxone, it is the Naloxone that blocks other opiates, not the Buprenorphine. Subutex doesn't contain the Naloxone, so it doesn't block them. Oxymorphone is also a very potent narcotic, so you shouldn't take it, without your doctor's approval and supervision. If you're being treated for addiction, it may also be against the rules of your treatment contract. Is there anything else I can help with? *These medications carry the risk ...

Bacopa Monniera has several primary clinical uses- its a powerful free radical scavenger within the CNS and contributes to increased cognitive performance if taken consistently for 3months. It's second adventitious property is its ability to attenuate the development of tolerance to morphine and therefore increase effective chronic administration therapeutic benefit(s). How exactly this occurs is not entirely known, but it is important to note here that MORPHINE is not the same as other opiates that are not mu agonists and/or are not excreted by the body via conjugation phase I/phase II glucuronidation reactions. Whether BM (haha) works similarly with all variations of agonist/partial agonist/agonist-antagonist opiates is not known. Four other ethneogens associated w/attenuating or pre

Took a drug test today; a 12 panel. I took a 2mg dilaudid last night. What will it show up as, if anything? I really need help on answering this. Thanks in advance. ## Dilaudid is Hydromorphone, a very strong narcotic and opiate pain reliever. It will show up as Opiates. Almost ALL pain killing narcotics show up as Opiates; the only exceptions are drugs used for opiate addiction (and can also be prescribed for pain) like Methadone, Suboxin, and Tramadol or Tramacet (Ultram). All of the treatment drugs are opiate agonists and antagonists, meaning they are synthetic and trick your bodies' receptors into thinking it is an opiate, thereby giving you the same feeling. Methadone prevents other opiates from inducing the euphoric high and can make you sick if you try to mix it, so it's ...

Will purata help with heroin withdrawal and insomnia? ## You will require an opiate or opioid in reducing dosage to fully withdraw from any dependence, but Purata (oxazepam) can be used adjunctively, and for a while after you have stopped using opiates, as an aid to the inevitable anxiety and irritability which follows an addiction to mu-agonists like heroin, morphine, oxycodone etc. LOFEXIDINE can also help with the other symptoms you are likely to experience after quitting opiates and is extremely effective. So yes, it can help, but certainly not on its own. Your doctor or Pharmacist can advise on your particular condition. I myself used lofexidine and another benzodiazepine, alprazolam, in reducing doses, for two weeks (lofexidine can be used for only nine days) after a dependency on...
