How much morphine do you have if the morphine is 20 mg per 1 ml?

It depends on how many ml's you have. I'm assuming you have a liquid solution? Say your bottle has 10 ml left in it. Well then you have 200 mg. That's quite a bit. Now you have to consider mode of getting it in your body. Is it syrup? Is it injectable? I believe doing IV gives you best bioavailability , but lasts least amount of time. Sub Q shot is next, then Im and oral being slightly less bioavailability, but lasting a long time.

What is the best way to take methadone out of your system?

You just take them orally like you would with any other pill. Do not put it under your tongue like with suboxone as it will burn and taste horrible. Methadone pills break down quickly and dissolve very fast so there is no point in crushing or breaking the pill.

Can you take one methadone pill and one vicodin together?

If you want to, yes. But the methadone is a much more potent opiate than Vicodin. If you are taking an adequate dose of methadone, then it is likely that all your opiate receptors in your brain are full. That is, in fact, the point of taking methadone. If they are, then you probably won't "feel" anything from the Vicodin. If you are not taking an adequate dose of methadone, then the Vicodin will help with pain/opiate withdrawls/whatever you are taking it for. It is important to add that if you take the Vicodin with methadone, or any long acting/extended release opiate, that you are still increasing your chances of respiratory depression(the #1 risk of taking too many pain-killers or benzodiazopenes) EVEN IF you do not "feel" the effects from the Vicodin.

How does an ex addict get morphine for pain?

complaine , complaine and complain some more because they are not going to give a ex junkie crap.

Can a dog be given methadone for pain?

Methadone is administered for relief of pain in horses and dogs. Analgesia peaks between 10 and 20 minutes post-administration and persists three to five hours.

In dogs, methadone is used in premedication of barbiturate anaesthesia. Barbiturates have extremely poor analgesic properties, even at high dose rates. Methadone premedication of barbiturate anaesthesia smoothes induction and greatly minimises the risk of drug toxicity by enabling the dose of barbiturate to be halved.

It is still recommended to first see a veterinarian to receive proper instruction on how to go about treating your dogs pain.

Which of these depressants is an opioid A heroin B methadone C morphine D methalqualone?

Methadone is a synthetic opioid.

(Heroin is technically an opiate.)

Opiods can have a depressant effect because they are central nervous system depressants. If combined with other med's, it can be magnified. Like vicodin and valium. That would be a combination that would probably depress you and put you to sleep.

What is the John Tracy clinic test of lip reading?

I gather from the resource cited that the John Tracy Clinic had devised a test, in the form of a film, to find out, in a sample of hearing-impaired students, whether lipreading ability is more if the student is already familiar with the sentence that is sought to be lipread. The clinic found out, quite interestingly, that it is not so. This means that the student can lipread both known and unknown words with equal ease.

Could taking extascy cause you to test poitive for methadone?

I do not think it is possible to test positive for methadone after taking ecstasy. Methadone is a synthetic opiate and ecstasy is a stimulant and hallucinogen. Even when testing for regular opiates methadone will not show up since its synthetic, methadone will show up on a urine as methadone only if they are testing specifically for methadone. There is no way ecstasy will show up as methadone on a urine test, ecstasy does not contain methadone.

Can you fell euphoria from morphine tablets?

Can buprenophrine and morphine be used together?

Buprenorphine alone is just a synthetic opioid but suboxone is buprenorphine mixed with narcan( a strong very fast acting opioid blocker and mixing it with any opioid or opiate will send u in to a quickened intense withdrawal... Its never smart to mix drugs and if ur on methadone then u shouldn't be trying to get high u should be trying to get off drugs altogether... Otherwise why aren't on it... If a doctor is prescribing it for pain and its not working than tell ur doctor but I can almost guarantee u that if ur asking questions like this than u have most likely displayed other signs of drug seeking behavior and ur doctors not stupid... He or she did go to med school... So my suggestion for people in pain is simple exercises and stretching... A body in motion stays in motion..m if ur abusing methadone or other drugs while in a recovery program... Get it together or get out of the way so that someone who really wants to get clean can have ur spot... Ur just wasting ur time and maybe u haven't hit rock bottom... Try NA or church or something... Hopefully u can get clean and stop getting high before it kills you...

Immediate effects after taking morphine?

Morphine will provide relief from pain and gives the patient a sense of wellbeing. Opiates in general slow down breathing, heart rate and brain activity and as a result the body's tolerance to pain is increased. Morphine also suppresses the cough reflex which is why it is used to treat severe coughs. Morphine does have side-effects, two of the most common are constipation and nausea and with higher doses of morphine, additional drugs to relieve or prevent these symptoms may be needed.

Is morphine the same as roxycontin?

Can you get addicted to methadone after using it twice?

Any addiction you might feel is purely psychological. It takes a lot more than 2 times to get a physical addiction. If you are doing it just to get high, I would advise against it. It may not have all of the physical side affects of heroin, but it can take you to the same place and make you just as much of an addict.
