Absolutely not! Vicodan contains a narcotic called: hydrocodone. Hydrocodone is classified as an opiate--it is a man-made opiate. Other opiates include: oxycodone, morphine, fentanyl, and heroin. Opiates are used to control moderate to severe pain, and they are highly addictive.

Methadone is a synthetic substance as well. Recently methadone has been approved for Chronic pain relief in small doses, and addiction treatment in higher strengths. Methadone has a very long half-life though (24-48 hours) and withdrawals can be felt long after the pain relief properties have subsided. That is why methadone withdrawals are worse than any other narcotic pain reliever, and sometimes worse than Heroin itself. Because of this, methadone is considered a last resort for pain medication, but due to it's low cost and long lasting effects, it is becoming more popular outside of addiction.

I don't think so.. Vicodin is helfing pain but Methadone eleminates is.. But you have to be carefull when you will take Methadone you cane have a apnea, ist twice more risk of death then Vicodine but ist legle and Vicodine is more dependent. So if a would have to choose between Methadone and Vicodin I would choose Vicodine because I would not wont to die when I will sleep.. every doctor can tell you that. I now because I'f been through than

Is buprenorphine the same as morphine?

It all depends on what exactly your allergic to. If you are allergic to all opiates, than NO, you cannot take methadone, but if you are allergic to a certain chemical in morphine than you can take methadone because it is a different type of opiate and it is synthetic. But I would consult your physician before taking another opiate like methadone if you are allergic to morphine. But for example, my friend was allergic to "Percocet" because of the acetaminophen that is mixed in with the pill, but he was able to take oxycontin, which is the same drug as is used in percocet, because the acetaminophen was absent.


Will oxycodone and morphine show up the same in a urine test?

Honestly, Yes & NO Oxycodone usually does not come up positive for morphine on a drug test because they have different chemical structures...They are almost identical, so it really depends on the amount that was ingested...A faint line may appear for morphine meaning that the urine is skeptical, but nowdays urine is being sent to labs to confirm a specific drug or drug metabolite...Example : Oxycodone metabolizes in the body as Oxymorphone,, meaning if a GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) test is called upon, science can detect if a person has used oxycodone...But nowadays they have a sepcific dipstick/cup test for oxycodone , so i wouldn't suggest to continue using oxycodone if you are not prescribed, especially if you have legal problems where you are being drug tested. This is a very, very accurate answer, hope i helped you solve your issue
