What is the difference between morphine sulfate and morphine sulphate?
Specifically, morphine is an opiate, a natural occurring analgesic harvested from the opium poppy pod (as is codeine). Dilaudid (hydromorphone) is a semi-synthetic opiate or OPIOID, which is more potent than morphine. Dilaudid is synthesized in laboratories for similar effects to morphine, though stronger analgesic in less doses.
Will morphine show up as hydrocodone in drug test?
Any pain killer will show up as an opiate. This is in the same class as heroin and depending on how in depth your test will go they will be able to tell the exact medication you were taking.

How many mgs of morphine would it take to kill an opiate user?
Lethal doses of methadone can be as low as 5mg for children and around 25mg for intolerant adults. However some people can handle as much as 400 mg if they have become accustomed to the drug over time and slowly increased to this dose. Never take ANY dose of methadone without being directed by a qualified doctor. Most cases of methadone related deaths can be traced to unaccustomed individuals or when the drug is mixed with other substances like alcohol or other prescription drugs.
Does morphine and hydrocodone show up the same on drug test?
I'm not sure if the test would specifically test for Hydrocodone, it would most likely test for opiates, which are in both Hydrocodone and Morphine. So in short, yes, if the drug test is testing for opiates in your system, both Hydrocodone and Morphine will cause a positive for opiates.
Are you allowed to work on morphine?
The answer to this question would depend on the person. The longer you take narcotics the less effect they have on you. It also depends on whether or not you are talking about immediate release or extended release. Morphine tends to have a negative effect on your mood. Most people become very irritable while taking morphine. As the pills start to wear off and your pain starts to set in you tend to become very short tempered and most of the time mean. There really is no set answer to this type of question that would apply to everyone or most people. There is a different answer for every person. I would suggest just taking the pill at home and really paying attention to how you feel, what you can accomplish, and try to put yourself at your place of work with the experiences you have while at home. Try setting down with a project and see what gets accomplished and how you feel. Good Luck!
How does morphine affect breathalyzer?
Not at all no worries. But it can and will in a blood test of any sort.
What do they give you if you overdose on morphine?
The reversal agent for all opiates, including morphine is naloxone.
How long does Klonopin in system?
There are so many answers in this thread it is baffling. Some of the answers are accurate, semi-accurate and some are just down right wrong. It all depends on what test is used. The most widely used lateral flow immunoassays are calibrated for oxazepam at 300 ng/ml of urine. If it is positive they generally send it off for GC/MS testing. As someone already clearly stated what clonazepam breaks down to it would be redundant for me to do into that. Clonazepam does not metabolize to oxazepam. However, large doses over a period of time can lead to a positive immunoassay, ususally around 781 ng/ml of Clonazepam. The amount of actual non-metabolized clonazepam released in urine is less than 1-2%.
In a chronic low-dose user (less than 3mg per day), many test negative on immunoassay. Single dose users, dependent on dose generally test negative on immunoassays. If an immunoassay is calibrated toward 7-aminoclonazepam and clonazepam (they are available) they would produce a positive.
When expensive GC/MS testing is done due to a positive BZO lateral flow, the lab needs to know to look for Clonazepam and 7-amino clonazepam.
In sum, if someone stays off clonazepam for a few days, the likelyhood of a positive test by most used lateral flow immunoassay would be very slim. So, it would techinally would be a "false-negative" because the lab could detect it if looking for it with GC/MS. There is much literature online one can review. Academic literature is more accurate than others info. Alot of what people put out there is incorrect and/or incomplete.
Answer:
The short answer is: Stop taking the drug and wait. It'll be gone in a few days.
The catch is that, like all benzodiazipam category drugs, if you've been taking it for more then a month then you'll need to taper off slowly because of withdrawals (although extremely rare, 2 deaths have been attributed2).
Answer:
Not only can a drug test detect Klonopin, it can also measure the level, or amount of drug in the body.
Answer:
Klonopin® (generic: Clonazepam) is a benzodiazapine used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. It has a half-life of anywhere from 18-50 hours, meaning that is how long it takes your body to reduce the amount of clonazepam in your system by half.
If you took three 1 mg tablets, within one to two days, 50% of its major metabolite 7-aminoclonazepam (7-ACLO) will still be in your system, and detectable by urinalysis; within three to four days, 75% of the metabolite will have cleared; within five to six days, 87.5% will have cleared, and so on.
Unfortunately, because the rate of metabolism varies from person to person, the concentration of 7-ACLO measurable in the urine doesn't necessarily decline in a direct linear fashion. You may show peak concentration, the point at which the metabolite is highest and most easily detected, anywhere from the first to the eighth day after taking the drug. Depending on the sensitivity and specificity of the test, one 3 mg. dose of clonazepam is detectable in urinalysis at 14 days; and there is a 75-80% chance of it being detectable at 21 days. It may take 28-30 days for the medication to clear your body completely.1
Most likely, a low-cost employment or other screening test won't be sensitive enough to pick up the one-time use anywhere near that long (the above data came from a forensic study). A drug detection timetable for short-term use of benzodiazapines suggests you should be able to pass a drug test after 5-7 days (the upper end of the time line). This is not a guarantee, however.
Since benzodiazepines are metabolized by the liver and excreted in the urine, drinking a lot of water may help slightly, but won't increase the speed at which your body metabolizes the drug.

Accudiagnostics
I will do further checking of the medical journals later and repost my reply. I have been taking 4mg of Clonazepam (Klonopin) since my auto accident in 2006, when my car flipped, rolled 3 times, my airbag did not deploy, my seat-belt was on, and I had a fractured skull, vertebrae, and 5th metatarsal. I have Cerebral Palsy, which was mild until my accident. After my accident, I developed hammer toes and increased shakiness, etc. My doctor prescribed this medication and kept increasing the does until the problems that kept me from functioning and sleeping disappeared (yes, she was amazed that I tolerated the dosage without falling asleep in her office). A little less than 3 years ago, I moved to PA and found a new physician. I take 2mg of Clonazepam around 6A.M. and see my doctor in the afternoon and ALWAYS fail the urine test. I am researching to discover why (I am uncertain as to what type of urine screen they do, but was assured that it should show up in my urine). This has caused me a great deal of difficulty but one day, after my doctor's staff did not give her my messages about refilling my Rx (they were buried under papers on top of my file), I showed up at her office in withdrawal (my BP was around 160/130 something and pulse was in the 120s, and I felt awful. I can guarantee you that 8 hours after taking 2mg of Klonopin/Clonazepam that it did not show up in the urine tests. I am dealing with a new doctor at this clinic since November, and was told Wednesday (after calling about my refill Friday, Monday and Tuesday) that they would not refill my Rx, would not do any further tests and wanted to see me in 3 months. I requested a copy of my medical records, went to the ER (my BP was up again), I failed the urine test there, they gave me 2mg last night, watched me take it, checked my mouth (all at my request) and I am returning for another test this morning, which I know I will fail again.

Does morphine cause liver damage?
Morphine is a prescription medication that is given for moderate to severe pain. Since it is not metabolized in the liver, morphine cannot cause liver damage.
Morphine is not a medication that should ever be given lightly, there are probably other options that are safer and easier for you to use that will not necessitate you running to an animal hospital (remember your dogs metabolism is faster then your own and meds will fly through them faster leaving you LESS time to get help). If your pet is seriously injured, speak to your vet about tramadol or even a natural solution to your pets pain that could even be sourced from foods that release endorphans such as saffron or capciacin.
NEVER give your pet medical care, esp chemistry without professional advice, on top of it being dangerous, it could be unnecessary and it is serious animal cruelty and abuse to drug your pets with hard controlled narcotics!
Is 40mg a high dosage for morphine?
Yes, it's considered VERY high. In fact, in most people a dose like that could depress your system.
I have been a long time opiate user because of a chronic pain condition. I am currently considered to be on a VERY high dosage of morphine. I take MS contin which is a slow-release form of morphine in the morning and at night each 60mgs. Then for "break through pain management' I take liquid morphine which is imediately active in your system and kills pain in about 15-25 minutes up to six times a day at a dosage of 80mgs each.
So yes, 750mgs for a single dose is ridiculously high for the MAJORITY of people. It is reasonable to assume a dosage that high in your average person would at the very least put them out (asleep) for hours, and at the worst it could depress lung fuction and cause what people consider an "overdose". Over a longer period of time it could be reasonable depending on whether you've been a long-time user or have a high dependancy like i do.
Hope this helps.

Can you take Fentanyl patch morphine?
Ofcorse opiod tolerant patient should Ask for more fentanyl,opoid naive will be good with 25,micro gr patch . oramorph should be replaced with hidromorphon jurnista tablets patients had better reaction ito it.if you must youse oramorh syrup is much better option.
How much morphine in 50ml methadone?
Everyones "blocking" dose is different. It can depend on many variables like weight, height, metabolism, ect.. but for the average JOE the blocking dose for other opiates is usually between 60-80mg's, but can be as low as 30 or as high as 120.
You probably meant HYDROMORPHONE, which is a drug very similar to morphine, except it takes less of it to get the same effects as morphine.
How many 2mg morphine does it take to cause death?
i belive in a lot of cases tolerance is a Major decider in that question first time i took ms con tin i was 17 and i took a 6mg pill and the effects were felt greatly. then i took two 60mg pills and puked. but when i got my tolerance up i was able to take up to 5 60mg pills. so i guess if you want to know the fatal dose most depends on your toler ance,past use and frequency of use. but your kidneys from use of ms contin can shut down over time from abuse of it. if your a first time user i would guess 200-500mg would be a definite fatal dose..however if your a regular opioid user then that number can go way up to 1000mg a day to 10000mg a day. like i said your kidneys can shut down from abuse and most likely will shut down before you get 10000mg in you.
Does morphine contain aspirin?
Morphine by itself is a pure chemical compound, so morphine is only morphine. There are some medications that contain an opiate and aspirin. For example, Percodan® contains the opiate oxycodone combined with aspirin, however I am not aware of any medications containing both morphine and aspirin, but I can't swear there aren't any. The person who will know for sure is a licensed pharmacist. Just call a pharmacy or ask the pharmacist the next time you are at a store that has a pharmacy. (It is illegal for a pharmacy to be open without at least one licensed pharmacist on duty.)
If you are allergic to aspirin or if it messes up your stomach, then make sure that you tell your doctor and he/she will not prescribe any medicines with aspirin in them. If you have morphine or know where to get it without a prescription, then please don't do it! I'm not your daddy, but I hope that you will take my word on it - you do not want to become addicted to opiates or anything else. I've dealt with enough addicts and former addicts to know that someone addicted to opiates or meth or coke feel like they want to die when they are in full withdrawal because they feel absolutely horrible like you can't imagine for weeks before they even begin to not be so sick.
What is morphine sulfate er 30 mg tablets?
I am a 26 year old female. I have been in pain management for 5 or 6 years and will be for the rest of my life. I try to look at my pain management in the best of lights. I do not abuse pills and never would. I use or utilize pain killers to make my life livable. To make sure that my 1 and 3 year old have clean diapers, clothes, and hair. My life is not easy and I have to look forward to it just getting harder and worsening every year for the rest of it. I took morphine sulfate 60 mg as my extended release pain killer for at least a couple years. Looking back I never thought that the morphine worked very well, because I always had "break through pain". Though I now know that it was doing its job. It was my introduction to extended release tablets in combination with the regular pain killer or the immediate release. The exact combo I was taking was Percocet 10mg and the Morphine Sulfate 60mg. Not having ever tried the extended release on a regular basis before I guess I was expecting the same rapid release euphoria with more intensity because of the larger mg. That's not the case though. The pill is slowly released into your blood stream over an eight to twelve hour period. The morphine works well to control constant and severe pain and the amount of pain I experience on a daily basis would make an average person go insane. I have a type of arthritis call ankylosing spondylitis and I can't even move for the first 3 hours of everyday. That is not even the tip of the iceberg. So, basically expect good results as a pain killer or narcotic, but dont expect a real good high or euphoric experience with this pain killer. If you are more on the cautionary side of narcotics, this medication is the perfect start for you or one step down at 30mg.
What happens if you quit using morphine cold turkey?
It's not physically addictive, so there are no physical withdrawal symptoms. The person will just be extremely, horribly depressed for awhile, and their brain will crave a meth high to make them feel better again.
They will also probably sleep a lot (both because they haven't been sleeping enough for awhile and because they're so depressed, and sleep is an escape) and they may also eat a lot, both because they haven't been eating enough for awhile, and because they are using food as a replacement drug.
What do you tell your dr. to get morphine prescribed?
Tell them you are addicted to illicit opiates, and in the effort to practice good harm reduction that should provide you with a legal, prescribed, alternative. Worked for me.
I agree with the above answer if you really are addicted, then you need help, and that's the best place to go and get treatment, but they won't give you morphine, they will give you a synthetic version 'methadone'.
That it worked for the first poster is probably an anomaly. When you tell doctors you are addicted to opiates, they test it by injecting you with naloxone. If you are addicted, you immediately show physical withdrawal symptoms (the kind of symptoms that cannot be faked).
They definitely will not prescribe you morphine if you tell your doctor that you are addicted to opiates. That is one of the most ridiculous things I have heard in my 21 years of life. Morphine is one of the strongest and one of the most addictive opiates out there. If you go to your doctor, and any in-patient/out-patient center they will most likely prescribe you suboxone or subutex. Doctors are cracking down on prescribing methadone to drug abusers/addicts because it, itself is an opiates were as suboxone and subutex are an opiate blocker. I am prescribed suboxone, I have only been on it one month so far, and I will only be on it for 2 months all together, it is helping a lot with my opiate addiction..but it isn't a magical pill you also need to work the program if you want to stay clean. In your situation, if you want to be prescribed opiates I would say that telling your doctor you are addicted to illicit opiates is not the answer.
Doctors giving opiates to known drug abusers is one of the fastest ways to have their license and DEA registration revoked. The only exception to this is Suboxone and Methadone therapies.
Does morphine cause sleepiness?
can long term use of morphine cause severe drowsiness and need for alot of sleep. I have been on it for three years. I sleep 70% of the time.
Can abruptly stop taking morphine sulfate er?
There are a variety of strategies for overcoming a narcotic addiction. For those who have iron willpower, the "cold turkey" method is the most successful; you just stop, and whatever withdrawal symptoms you may suffer will eventually pass, and you will no longer be addicted (although you may still feel the occasional temptation to back slide). If that is too difficult, people generally use some other drug as a substitute. Alcohol is convenient since it is available without prescription. You can certainly ask your doctor to prescribe something that will help you to overcome a morphine addiction. The problem with that strategy is that there is a high risk of becoming addicted to whatever drug you are using to overcome your morphine addiction. However, it might be easier to switch to alcohol and then gradually reduce your alcohol consumption to a moderate level. Nothing prevents you from drinking alcohol moderately for the rest of your life. Red wine even has real health benefits if you drink only one or two glasses per day (it protects against heart disease). So that can work out.
