Am currently on AVINZA and because of the cost your doctor prescribed methadone is this a wise chose?

YES! I was on avinza and it did little for my pain. Methadone has me comfortable all day and night. I think it is a lifesaver.

Can you take avinza and vicoden together?
You can check all know interactions of drugs yourself with the website http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.php. Simply type in the drugs you wish to find and select the correct drug from the dropdown menu. All known interactions will then appear.---- Interactions searched:* acetaminophen (Ingredient of Vicodin) * Avinza (morphine) * hydrocodone (Ingredient of Vicodin)---- 1 Interactions found:# Avinza (morphine) and hydrocodone (Ingredient of Vicodin) (Moderate Drug-Drug) PROBLEM: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.POSSIBLE SOLUTION: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities. ----
Will taking morphine and benadryl together kill you?
If your doctor has prescribed morphine for you tell them that you take Benadryl. USUALLY it is okay to combine them as Morphine can cause you to feel itchy. Both Benadryl and Morphine can cause drowsiness so caution should be used always when combining medication together. The maximum dose of Benadryl for an adult is 50 mg every 6 hours. It is difficult to answer this question as there are different kinds of Morphine, specifically MSIR which is short acting morphine and Extended Release or "ER Morphine (such as MS Contin) with is time released. DO NOT BREAK OR CHEW ER MORPHINE as it will "dump" it's entire amount into the body at one time instead of being given over a 8 to 12 hour period. (Avinza is a 24 hour morphine pill, extreme caution should be used when dealing with ER Morphine as it is available in generic and numerous difference brand names, the most common being Avinza, Kadian and MS Contin.) IF you have been taking morphine for a period of time, at least several months and are not sedated by it then you probably could take Benadryl and Morphine together. Better advice is "When in doubt call your doctor or your pharmacist!" Overdosing on medication is easier than one thinks, it is much better to be safe than sorry.
Is Morphine timed release?
Is Morphine pills time released? Or how long does it take to start working? My doctor has given me a choice of starting on methadone, ms. contin or fenytnal patches. Which is best? I've tried the patches whic irritated my skin so I'm asking about the ms. contin or methadone? Are they time released? Do they last all day unstead of like lortab n percocet n have to take them every 4 hours?
What drugs are called opoids?
Opiates are a class of drugs known as opioid analgesics (narcotics). The Opium poppy plant contains several different naturally occurring opiates, primarily morphine and codeine. The plant also has other drugs like thebaine which are used to make other drugs. Thebaine, morphine, and codeine also serve as a "base" compound from which semi-synthetic opioids can be synthesised. Examples of semi-synthetic opioids include hydrocodone (Vicodin, Lortab, Lorcet, Norco), oxycodone (Percocet, Percodan, OXY-IR, OxyContin), oxymorphone (Opana), hydromorphone (Dilaudid) and diacetylmorphine (Heroin). More recently fully synthetic opioids have been produced. These drugs have no chemical similarity to morphine, codeine, or thebaine. Examples include fentanyl (Actiq and Duragesic transdermal patch), Pethidine also called meperidine (Demerol), tramadol (Ultram, Contramal, Tramal), and dextropropoxyphene (Darvocet and Darvon).
Will Avinza, a time released Morphine show up on a urine drug screen as demerol Thanks?
Morphine is an Opiate. Opiates and Opioids metabolize differently depending on the drug and pathways. Many brand name drugs are detected as a metabolite in a drug test once analyzed. Demerol is detected and the metabolite/parent drug is meperidine. Opiates can break down into multiple metabolites, for instance heroin can break down into codeine, morphine, morphine glucuronide, and 6 monoacetyl morphine...drug testing is more complex than most people think it is.
Does Vicodin and other opioids effect sex in a positive way?
AnswerNo.Opioids often cause severe sexual disfunction in both men and women. The is primarily a concern to people on high dose/chronic opioid treatment. Hypogonadism, low levels of testosterone, occur in more than 50% of people on chronic opioid treatment. It is estimated that approximately 5 million people in The US and Canada have sexual problems due to low testosterone. Controlled release versions of medications, particularly morphine sulfate (MS Contin, M-Eslon, Avinza, Kadian), oxycodone (OxyContin), methadone, and oxymorphone (Opana ER) tend to cause sexual problems more often then other opioids.In addition, side effects such as sedation can cause sexual problems. Weight gain is also common in people on long term opioid therapy because they are more likely to sleep longer, get less exercise, and lead a more sedentary lifestyle. All of these factors can lead to sexual problems.Normally people should undergo routine hormonal testing and treatment withtestosterone, available as a gel, cream, buccal, transdermal patch, and intramuscular injectable formulations may be used. However erectile dysfunction may continue and the used of a medication such as sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil may be appropriate.However using an opioid one time or only occasionally is unlikely to cause problems, however testing has shown that after administering a single dose of an opioid testosterone levels droped significantly.
