Does Imodium AD help opiate withdrawls?

No - what you need is both an anti-anxiety med and an anti-nausea med (toward the end stages of withdrawals). Lots of fluids, warm clothes, and mental distractions (music, games, movies, etc.), plus mental preparations and time to get through it are also essential.

Any doctor is always willing to give you an anti-anxiety and anti-nausea med to help you with withdrawals. The anti-anxiety meds help get you through that "climbing the walls" feeling.

A good muscle relaxer like Flexeril helps also, though anything to sedate yourself is good to. In a pinch, a couple of Benadryl tablets will usually knock most people out for a few hours.

Will niacin pass your drug test for opiates over night?

Niacin will make your urine yellow so it doesn't look like you were drinking so much water and trying to 'flush' on your test.

Who uses opiates?

Heroin is very addictive,anyone can use heroin. People that are in pain,and addicts. I was one of those people at one time. The effects of heroin is very strong,you can inject it,snort it,or smoke it. Once you start its hard to stop cause you build a tolerence to it so you have to do alittle bit more every time to get the same effects. Please,if anyone has a problem with addiction,there are people that are willing to help,you are not alone. There is alternatives like methadone,which,it has saved my life! Do some research on " Methadone Treatment" its definitly a healthy alternative.

What shows up as an opiate on a drug screen?

A false negative! Usually people claim the results are a false positive. I suppose the drug could have been metabolized enough not to show up on a screen.

It is possible the test was done incorrectly or the test kit itself was faulty (old or somehow damaged).

What country makes morphine?

There are many countries which produce morphine, but a very very large amount of it is produced in Afghanistan.

In fact, the reason we don't inhibit the heroin trade by burning poppy fields over there (like we do with coca in Columbia, etc) is because we need Afghani farmers to grow poppies so that we can have painkillers for our hospitals over here. There is quite the morphine shortage in the world.

Is Ritalin an opiate?

No not at all. Ritalin is a central nervous system stimulant (generic name: methylphenidate hydrochloride) that is used to treat attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity in children and adolecents and for narcolepsy in adults. Heroin is more closely associated with morphine; both are considered pain killers and are controlled narcotic substances of opiate derivitives.

What is the street value for 15 mg oxycodone?

$15 just like a dollar a milligram, but usually the 30's are $25

who ever answered this must be living on the east coast. Here in Arizona you cannot get $1.00 per mg. very lucky to get $.50 on an average people will pay $5.00-$7.00 for a 15 mg. oxycodone hard to find someone to pay that price, hence alot of arizonians have a stockpile of oxycodone.

"Oxy may go for $1 an mg. But you can get darvocet at $3 for 100mg. Just ask darvomanatyahoodotcom!"

^it is an east coast thing. blueberries are anywhere from 20-30....15 depending on the amount youre buying. the best thing out there is probably Dilaudid 7x stronger than oxycodone per volume. so an 8mg would come close to an OC 60

Can you take Percocet after you take morphine?

that is a terrible alternative considering they are both highly concentrated derivatives of thebaine (paramorphine). you dont want something that will just get u off the heroin but will prevent you from using it as well. dont even bother methadone either because it builds up in your system so much that it can make you overdose if its taken improperly. try something like suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone). the buprenorphine will help with the withdrawl and with the cravings while the naloxone is an opiate inverse agonist which will prevent you from using any other opiate for about two to three days after using suboxone

Does hydroco and amitriptyline test positive for opiates?

hydrocodone is a synthetic opiod it shows up as a synthetic opiod and can cause false positive for natural opiods like codeine and morphine.but none the less yes it will make you positive.

as for the amitryptiiline all that is is a tricyclic antidepressant and is not a narcotic and can not show up as any kind of opioid.

Does using opiate pain relievers in early pregnancy cause birth defects?

There is no evidence that opiates cause birth defects although they may possibly increase the risk of miscarriage and still births. However, opiate use should not be stopped suddenly because this also increases the risk of miscarriage or premature labour. Gradual withdrawal over 12 weeks may be advised... A friend of mine was on Vicodin through the 1st & 2nd trimester & her baby boy was fine...

If you are allergic to codeine would you be allergic to Vicodin?

The first thing that you need to know is if it is a true allergy or simply a strong manifestation of the common opioid side effects. If you do have a true allergy to codeine, you could be allergic to some or all of the semi-synthetic preparations or you could be fine with them. The semi-synthetic codeines include hydrocodone, oxycodone, and any other -codone named medications.

You should also be aware that drug allergies can begin at any time. While you may have taken hydrocodone without incident for years, you may find yourself having a life-threatening reaction to it at any time. Once you have a reaction to codeine or a synthetic preparation, you are at an increased risk of reacting to the other preparations. It would be wise to keep epinepherine and diphenhydramine available if you are going to test the waters with any others.

If you find yourself allergic to codeine or the semi-synthetic preparations, you may want to talk to your doctor about prescribing a medication from the morphine group as allergies to codeine and morphine are generally unrelated.

Is vicodin and Darvocet in the same category when taking a urinedrug test Would they both show up as opiates or each individual drug. Many thanks.?

I have a permanent injury and have a darvocet prescription. Without thinking I took a dose of my wifes hydrocodone cough syrup for a recent cold. I asked the above question because i take random drug tests for work and I am worried that it will show up. I already have opiates in my system from the darvocet so I'm hoping it will just show up as an opiate. Are urine drug tests so specific that it will show each and every drug or just the category such as opiates? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!


Rest easy they both are opiates and will show up in a drug test as opiates drug test are not that specific they shoe thc,opiates,benzos ect... they show up as groups not as drug names your job is safe

>>>>>>>

Hey, not all drug tests are the same. some are more sensitive than others. The ones I had to take at a pain clinic detect the various different types of opiates. they can differentiate btwn percocet (oxycodone), vicodin (hydrocodone) TYlenol 3 (codeine) Darvoce (Propoxyphene) t, etc etc.

Is gabapentin a benzodiazepine?

How soon after taking an opiate can you take Suboxone?

I HAVE BEEN TAKING SUBOXONE FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW AND ALTHOUGH IN MY OPINION IT IS THE BEST PILL EVER INVENTED, THERE ARE TIME IN WHICH YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE PAIN MEDICATION FOR SURGERIES, TOOTHACHES, CAR ACCIDENTS, ETC. I HAVE FOUNF THAT IT TAKE ME USUALLY 4-6 DAYS FOR IT TO LEAVE MY BODY WHEN I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT CONSISTENTLY OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. ANYONE WHO ATTEMPTS TO TAKE ANYTHING BEFORE IS WASTING THEIR TIME. THANK YOU

Are opiates in Darvocet?

Darvocet (Dextropropoxyphene also know as Propoxyphene) is a fully synthetic opioid analgesic (ie a narcotic). It is used to control mild pain and it is closely related to Demerol (Pethidine also known as meperidine). Darvocet is a mixture of Dextropropoxyphene and acetaminophen. Both drugs do reduce pain however the Dextropropoxyphene is the primary analgesic due to its opioid activity.

Darvocet has come under significant controversy because dextropropoxyphene is highly addictive and most countries only have medications containing both Dextropropoxyphene and acetaminophen. As a result there has been an alarmingly high incidence of death due to addicts taking so many pills that the acetaminophen becomes toxic and kills.

Dispite the high addictive potential of dextropropoxyphene, the US classifies it a a schedule IV drug along with Valium, Phenobarbital, and many others. Most opioid's are schedule II but codeine and hydrocodone drugs containing acetaminophen or an NSAID are schedule III.

Will Xanax show up as an opiate?

What happens when you are going through withdrawals from morphine?

FOR THE PROCESS OF THIS ANSWER WE ARE GOING TO CONSIDER THIS A LONGTERM HEAVY USER. Morphine withdrawals or DT's (delirium tremens is the medical name ) starts out as severe body-aches, head aches, just pain in general and will progress to cold sweats nausea and sever diarrhea. These symptoms can and for most people do last several days. If you are a heavy user either do not quit or wean yourself gradually by cutting the dosage down over days or weeks if you have the luxury. Never ever go cold turkey if You wish to avoid the DTs. This is speaking from 20 years of elicit opiate use.
