Hydrocodone

They both show up in the opiate category on a standard drug test, and can be tested for seperately i believe, but for a standard drug test they stay in your system about 3 days max. and will make you test positive for opiates if detected.

Snorting hydrocodone is actually illegal. In addition, it can do damage by burning your sinus membranes and killing tissue, interfere with breathing, and cause seizures. Hydrocodone is a scheduled narcotic that can only be obtained through a prescription. Taking it in any way other than prescribed is illegal, even with the prescription. Crushing and snorting tends to be a method only used by addicts as a means of abusing the medication. If you are having pains that are not being controlled by the prescribed means, you need to speak to your doctor about trying a different medication.

It may still be in your system. With the ever growing field of pharmacogenomics, we are discovering that even healthy individuals, with normal liver metabolism and renal function, may clear drugs a little slower or a little faster than normal. It may take me eight hours to clear 20mg of Hydrocodone and it make take you two weeks. If it is a drug test you are worried about, you would be better off to try to avoid it as far in advance as you can. I guess it depends on what is at stake.

I have recently started taking Nucynta for breakthrough pain. I also take 40 mg of Oxy twice a day and took Ultram for a long time. (years) I love the Nucynta and to answer your question, in my case.............the Nucynta is a LOT more powerful and effective than the Ultram/Ultracet. It starts working very quickly (I take it every 6 hours as needed).

In my opinion, the Nucynta is more effective than the percs and vics I was taking for breakthrough pain also.

I think you will be very satisfied.

It's extremely common for Duragesic patients to have Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, or other acute opiate meds (Demerol, Methadone, etc.) as their breakthrough medication. Remember that patches are for primary, chronic pain; increased activity can cause the pain to increase past the point of patch effectiveness, which is termed "breakthrough pain". In those cases, an acute (short term) pain med like Vicodin or Percocet is used to deal with the short term increase.

I myself have used Percocet 10/325's for about 10 years in conjunction with my patches, about 120/month. At some point though, if breakthrough becomes constant, then it's time to re-evaluate the need for a higher dose patch or patch combination. I've had to deal with this several times over the years, and I prefer to use pills because it gives you more spot control of the pain. But for severe increases (see my bio for more), adding another patch is really the only way to go.

Oxycodone is the generic name for OxyContin, although OxyContin is actually a time released version of Oxycodone. This means that instead of the drug being released into your bloodstream from your stomach all at once, it slowly releases it over a period of several hours.

Baclofen used for muscle spasms does contain codeine.

It depends on how much and how long you have taken it. If you just take a couple for fun you should be clean in a few days, with urine test. If your addicted, and they do a hair analysis test it can take a month, or more.

No, this is too dangerous demerol in itself must be prescribed by a doctor and the exact dosage given.

Simply put, Yes. The primary ingredient in Norco is hydrocodone. An opioid, it's moderately addictive and highly habituating.

At small doses yes. At higher doses, no. Can cause respiratory depression

No, Heroin will show up as an opiate in drug screenings. Hydrocodone is a synthetic opiate and a specific test will be needed to detect it. It will not show up on regular drug screens.

Yes. I wouldn't snort a whole pill though. You can snort a Norco and it will give a pretty quick reaction, only I recommend crushing up about half of one and chewing the rest or swallowing it, mixing it with a drink. People who say it doesn't work at all because of the binders are failing to realize it all ends up going down the back of your throat and ultimately in your body in the end, especially if you wash it down real quick. People always complain about the flavor and a bit of a stinging in the nose, but it's not like people drink whiskey cuz it tastes good. Just avoid the inside of your nose, aim straight through the sinuses.

Ummmm, you ARE doing Tylenol - 325 mg. to be exact. Norco contains no aspirin.

neither. morphine is morphine, oxycodone is oxycodone, and hydrocodone is hydrocodone.

Hydrocodone is a codiene based opiate, as is morphine (heroin is converted to morphine once it crosses the blood brain barrier). Oxycodone is a semi synthetic. The other two are naturally occurring opiates. Any of them are fine to detox, as long as you correctly taper and not hoard them all at once. Methadone and suboxone are detox drugs of choice.

No, Darvocet* is a brand name* * for a propoxyphene compounded drug. It is a controlled substance, available legally only by prescription.

A lot of physicians just wont presecribe it at all because it is highly adictive. And many say that it just does not do the job, and that better products with fewer possible consequences are available. (Still it is a steady producer for Eli Lilly; all physicians are not in agreement.)

Propoxyphene is related to codeine and hydrocodone, but it is not the same.

*Darvocet is a product belonging to Eli Lilly and Company. It contains other substances than just propoxyphene; it comes in various doses, sizes and shapes. See the link discussing Darvocet and associates.

** Darvocet and several combinations are brand names of Eli Lilly. Propoxyphene is a generic drug; however, Darvocet is a particular product, with a particular shape, combination and packaging. Darvocet and its variations belongs to Eli Lilly and Company.

no, but it will cause a positive result for opiates (heroin).

I know that Rescue Cleanse from Clear Choice works good. I don't know if that is the same as what you are talking about. If so, you need 3 days clean before you used it for it to work, enless you are a regular user of pot, then you need at least 14 days for it to work.

None, and don't take over 1000 mgs of Tylenol you can hurt yourself.

When you say "UTI pain reliever" do you mean something like Pyridium or AZO Standard? If so, then yes, you can take vicodin with those medicines. If you mean something else, then you do not want to take two pain medications together. Pyridium and AZO are phazopyridine, which is a urinary agent and not a true pain reliever. They only act on the urinary system.

Norco is a brand name for the combination drug hydrocodone/acetaminophen. It is used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. As with all opioid medications, it is a controlled substance in the United States under the DEA controlled substances act.

its a narcotic pain reliever. can be habit forming

a yummy pill full of fun ..excitement and then sleeppy time..

hydrocodone 10/500..pain meds

A bluish white oblong pill indexed "WATSON 540" is generic Vicodin (also known under brand names Lortab and Norco), manufactured by Watson Pharmaceuticals.

Each pill consists of 500mg acetaminophen and 10mg hydrocodone bitartrate. It is a mild narcotic pain reliever.

Be careful! Hydrocodone is addictive! And acetaminophen in doses of more than 1000mg at a time, or 4000mg during the day is dangerous for the liver.
