Depending on dosage, but can be. If you are on this much at one time, get a new doctor.
From experience if you take the same amount of oxycodone(ex. percocet roxicodone) and demerol, Demerol is stronger.
No
Some opiod drugs include morphine, heroin, hyrocodone, oxycodone, and of course opium. Opioids have inherent analgesic (pain relieveing) properties and haven been used both medicinally and recreationally since 6000 BCE, making it one of the oldest drugs.
Both demerol and percocet are opioids, meaning they have opium alkaloids as their base. As far as potency goes, the oxycodone in Percocet is stronger than the meperidine in Demerol. Taken orally, Demerol is only about one-third as strong as when given IV or in a muscle. Taken orally, oxycodone is about 50% stronger than morphine, which is many times stronger than meperidine.
yes you can mix them, but you will not experence nearly the high you would from just the oxycodone alone, the methadone partially blocks the euphoric effect of the oxycodone... speaking from experence save the methadone, and take the oxy.
I wouldn't say it's safe because you are talking about very powerful opiates here, but I dont know why you would take Demerol after you took 50mg of MEthadone because it will not really have any effect. Methadone has opiod inhibiting properties and will clog the receptors in your brain, therefore making the Demerol completely useless for the most part.
You should consult you physician. Yes. If you are on methadone as a maintenance pain medication, there are other pain meds you can take for breakthrough pain, or to boost the effects of the methadone. One that is commonly prescribed to take with methadone is meperidine (generic Demerol) and phenergan. The Demerol is a narcotic pain med, and the phenergan potentiates (boosts) the effectivenes of the Demerol, as well as preventing the nausea that some people experience when taking Demerol. There are other pain meds that can be taken with methadone, but your doctor can best advise you on them, depending on your medical condition.
No - Percocet is the brand name for a combination drug containing Oxycodone and Tylenol.
Demerol is a narcotic pain reliever similar to morphine. Methadone is a synthetic opioid used as an analgesic and and maintenance anti-addictive.
Effectiveness will vary from person to person. It depends on the dosages, the formulation, etc. However, I can tell you that the chances of you being prescribed Demerol by mouth aren't good. Most Md.'s will not prescribe Demerol tablets. You will probably be given oxycodone as a take home med.
It depends on the kind of pain and the person. Some people react differently to different drugs. However, for most severe pain, Demerol is usually the better choice.
Narcotics are opium derivatives and synthetic compounds that mimic the effects of opium derived drugs, such as Demerol (meperidine) and Methadone (dolphine).
