Can you take percocet and alternate it with Dilaudid?
You can, but............... when I tried it, I felt crappy. Stick to one. Mixing meds is not good.There are always side effects. It may not be right away, but it will happen.
Yes, it is the generic form of dilaudid, hydromorphone. I am prescribed the same pills. The strength is obviously 4mg which is the second highest dose of dilaudid that is available. They come in 2mg, 3mg, 4mg, and 8mg.
Switching to another analgesic to a normal dose (lower from 50-75% equivalent dose) might allow "Dilaudid tolerance" to disappear. As an example, switching to Morphine 75 mg for some months will lower Dilaudid tolerance.
I have personally had over 13 operations and most of them major. For the last 18 years I have been off and on painkillers and the only thing that works for me now is grin and bear it. All the dilautid will do is hold me off for a little bit. I still feel all the pain. the only difference is it warms the head a bit. I don't know what to do.any suggestions would be welcome warmly. They even overdosed me the night of the last laperotomy. turned blue all that. (still hurt) kinda odd
I take same meds and dose. Go to either fentanyl patch 75-100mcg or opana er 30 to 40mg. that's oxymorphone and used for people with a huge tolerance to opiates with no other choice. if you are sooo desperate and u need to, iv the dilaudad. 1 4mg ived equals approx 17 mg and instant relief. i don't recommend though due to addiction. dilaudad tolerance is quick and i don't recommend that's why im going to opana next week. I was a robbery victim and had many bones broken w brass knuckles by punk thugs. I was kicking ass at first till the brass broke my jaw into 4 pieces. i also have such painful nerve damage. at one point i oded cause i didn't want to live w the pain anymore. good luck bro.
Does Dilaudid 2mg tablet work well for people over weight?
Hydromorphone dosing starts at 2mg. Depending on the level of pain, this may be a little on the low side, however it's a perfectly natural starting dosage, in order to see how the patient reacts to this medication. If the pain isn't controlled by this dosage, you should ask your doctor for a solution.
