What is the weakest to strongest painkillers?

no one knows what is in fentanyl, but the people who own the patent. The fact is that drugs are as big as the military complex the USA has become,

The Duragesic patches work and if the makers of fentanyl (the spelling is correct) works like an opiate, it matters not to the one in pain what is in it.

I use it and it does reduce the pain a bit; however, if I found out it contained a bit of cow dung in it, I would still use it Now human excrement would make me take a new look at morphine

Which is stronger Levo-Dromoran or Dilaudid?

LevoDromoran is stronger than hydromorphone (Dilaudud). Levorphanol is 8x as potent as morphine on a mg-mg basis whereas hydromorphone is 7.5x as potent as morphine mg-mg. Essentially they are of the same potency but levorphanol is slightly stronger.

Can Dilaudid be detected in urine samples?

Yes, it can tell how much is in your system and can let the tester know if your using the medication correctly. If you have to get tested monthly in order to refill your prescription, it will tell if your taking them or selling them. Same with all the narcotics being tested during an urine analysis.

What happens if you mix Dilaudid 2mg with codeine 5mg?

It depends on how much of what you take. MDMA would naturally override the effects of Codeine being the strong stimulant it is. However Codeine being an opiate depressant(downer) can be dangerous when mixed with a stimulant(upper) such as MDMA. Mixing uppers and downers is not wise as this can likely cause your heart to go into cardiac arrest. One part of your brain is telling your heart to go faster, while the other part is telling it to slow down. Be careful.

Can neurontin be used as a pain killer?

It varies with each patient - though Neurontin is normally used as a drug for neuralgia and seizures, there has been some evidence that it helps augment pain medication used by nerve pain sufferers. That's why it's often prescribed along with pain drugs. In my own personal experience, it never did anything that was effective or even noticeable.

Why is it bad to consume alcohol while taking Prednisone?

It is advisable to avoiddrinkin to much alcohol if you are taking predisone as both drugs are very bad for the kineys.

Is Oxycontin and Dilaudid the same?

No. Oxycontin contains Oxycodone and a few fillers, and Dilaudid contains an opiate called Hydromorphone, a more potent narcotic. But as far as both of them being opiates, that's the only similarity.

Can methadone be taken with Dilaudid?

The short answer is that, if you are under medical supervision, preferably in a hospital setting where you are being monitored, dilaudid (hydromorphone) can be taken for breakthrough pain when methadone is used as the primary analgesic (pain killer) for severe pain.

Methadone is a tricky drug to prescribe and finding the safe dosage that provides pain relief involves starting at a low dose and gradually increasing it until the patient gets relief, while monitoring the patient's vital signs and watching for the many possible side effects. The technical term for this is titration, and it is best done in a hospital setting, especially since patients in severe pain usually have other medical conditions that add to these risks.

Both dilaudid (hydromorphone) and methadone are opioid narcotics, but methodone is a more long-acting drug while hydromorphone is a more short-acting drug. Both are used for treating severe pain, but due to its short-acting nature, hydromorphone is more suited to treating breakthrough pain that occurs despite treatment with another drug.

The problem with taking hydromorphone with another opioid narcotic like methadone is that they can have a combined effect that can depress respiration to the point where medical intervention may be needed to prevent death. In a hospital setting where you can be monitored and where life support and other measures can be taken in an emergency, this is less of a concern. Outside a hospital setting, it is difficult and risky to determine the safe dosage for methadone for specific patients.

One of the difficulties in using methadone is that its effects on respiration can last long after it has stopped providing pain relief. This presents problems for the very patients that it is likely to be prescribed for - those with severe chronic pain. Taking another dose of methadone, or another opioid narcotic such as hydromorphone, when the first dose of methadone is wearing off, adds to the risk that, at some point, you may stop breathing.

A physician who specializes in pain management is best qualified to prescribe a course of treatment for severe pain, which may or may not include the use of multiple drugs. Self-prescribing narcotics, or experimenting with the dosage, can be very dangerous.

Can a urinalysis drug test differentiate between Dilaudid and loratabs?

Yes it can. Loritab's active narcotic ingredient is Hydrocodone and oxycodone is obviously oxycodone. It really depends on the complexity of the test. If it's a five panel urinalysis both will just show up as "opiate" positive. If it is a gas spectrum chromatography (like a pre-employment drug screen), it can tell the difference between hydrocodone, oxycodone, fentanyl, heroin, morphine, hydromorphone, etc.

hope this helps ya!

Is 80mg of Dilaudid ok to take in a 24 hour period?

No! Dilaudid is a very strong drug.... 80 mg in one day would kill a horse. Even 8 mg in a 24 hour period is a very high dose (if we are talking IV form). Pill form is less strong and can be taken in a higher mg dose, but nothing CLOSE to 80 mg. An average dose in pill form would be 2-4 mg every 4-6 hours. Anything more than this should not be taken unless the person has a very high tolerance to narcotics.

Does dilaudid and percacet show as same in urine test?

they are both opiates but if its a lab and your positive for opiates they will test for the exact one.

What is the name of oral Dilaudid?

Yes, Dilaudid comes in an oral form.

It is a powerful narcotic analgesic useful in the relief of pain. Dilaudid's addiction potential is similar to that of morphine when taken as prescribed.

It is a highly addictive drug and once prescribed to a patient to control pain, a patient can become addicted and may keep trying to get the pills after the prescription is stopped. Common belief is 2 to 3 weeks to become addicted; I don't think it takes that long. I have known a few people who were addicted, and it seemed almost immediate. It is similar in effect as morphine and sells on the street from $50 to $60 per pill. Dilaudid is formulated as oral tablets, liquid, rectal suppository, intra-muscular (buttock or hip muscle) injection, and intravenous (I.V.) solution.

What is stronger Dilaudid or Oxycontin?

Dilaudid would be more potent than Norco.

Dilaudid is roughly 5-7x more potent than morphine where as hydrocodone is .6 the potency of 10mg of morphine. So the hydrocodone would be much less potent as hydromorphone (dilaudid) or morphine.
